Posted at 05/8/2010 14:32 by spec7 I have to agree there is little point in hanging on here now. any rise that would have been credited to HTH is now going to be credited to EKT which is looking very strong now and rising fast. |
Posted at 02/8/2010 13:09 by spec7 Its gone very quiet over hereI cant see why any savy HTH holder does not sell out now and move across to EKT. If they wait for long now they will probably get the same for their HTH holding but i doubt they will get EKT at this price again. Your thoughts ?? |
Posted at 31/7/2010 01:45 by arthur_lame_stocks Whatever happened to HTH shareholders having to accept 25p? |
Posted at 30/7/2010 22:15 by ls lowry Sorry abut the dividend guys you win some and lose some. But you can take your profits invest in EKT and collect an interim dividend there instead.I dont know whether to laugh or cry....LOL |
Posted at 30/7/2010 14:15 by ls lowry "Hartest Holdings (HTH, 89.0p, £7.65m) has been bid for again, but this time, by one of its larger shareholders, Elektron. This comes as no surprise. Elecktron has acquired shares from Peter Gyllenhammar at 90p, and now represents 29.05% of the group. Eleckron is making a mandatory cash offer of 90p per share, which values the business at £8.2m. The bid confirms our belief the group was undervalued. We recommend investors to ACCEPT THE BID. (Amisha Chohan) " |
Posted at 30/7/2010 09:37 by spec7 Now you know why this 60p share has stuck at 90p for the last few weeks. wouldnt it be good to know what the institutions, MM's, insiders, HTH management , EKT management, and PG know instead of being at the bottom of the food chain |
Posted at 22/6/2010 17:41 by mail2 LONDON (ShareCast) - Specialist instrumentation and medical equipment supplier Hartest moved into the black in the year to March 31 after an improvement in the global economic climate following the previous year's downturn. Pre-tax profits for the period totalled £1m, compared with a loss of £865,000 the previous year, on revenues that climbed to £22.2m from £20.7m. Chief executive Geoff Spink told ShareCast that the company benefited from its niche positions in areas where customers were unlikely to cut back on expenditure. Hartest said that its instrumentation division saw strength in the underwater cable fault location business and its ophthalmic testing instruments business. Spink said that the underwater cable fault location business benefited from increased investment in telecommunications infrastructure, while the ophthalmic testing instruments business was helped by its exposure to a niche market. Businesses exposed to the automotive and general industrial sectors performed less well due to the continuing downturn in those sectors, but the company said it had seen an encouraging upturn in demand towards the end of the financial year. The medical services division 'achieved significant progress in increasing gross margins,' Hartest said. Spink said that the strong performance from several areas and the improvement in demand from the automotive and industrial sectors leave the company optimistic on future prospects. The medical devices division could see some weakness from public sector cuts in the UK, though Spink said that the company was likely to do 'better than average' in this area. Hartest, which suspended dividends during the downturn, will pay a final dividend of 3.33p, taking the full-year dividend to 4p. Chairman Leeming told ShareCast that the company intended to implement an 'aggressive dividend policy' in future |
Posted at 21/6/2010 09:43 by castleford tiger Now we have a company turning over 20 million making MAYBE 1 million worth 7.5.Whats wrong with that? -------------------- Nothing at all Snow but its already trading on 11 times... LET CASTLEFORD TIGER (THE REAL ONE) ANSWER THAT. HTH made £5,000 in the first half on 9.42 million turnover Therefore the profit made was in 6 months not a year. This is not just how the company works but(loading to 2nd half) 1) Result of changes made 2) Improving market place. Like EKT the company only needs modest turnover improvement and it hits the bottom line. Margins are also improving. For the CURRENT year i can see EARNINGS as high as 25p a share. So i make that a p/e of about 3.5 with a dividend yield of 4% to boot. The p/e you quote is historic and a waste of time when changes are happening. The market has shown by increasing the price this morning that they want the shares. With 2 big holders now not getting this on the cheap, and hopefully a straight year with no distractions the company may even beat my target. i await house brokers forecasts for 2011 very best Tiger |
Posted at 21/6/2010 09:27 by ansc Thanks Valhamos. I'm not absolutely certain that leaving is the right decision but (a) in the present economic uncertainty I'm using a p.e. of 6.5 as a yardstick for calculating what I think is full value for a company and (b) I like recovery situations (mostly) for investments and HTH look to have gone beyond that stage at long last.All the best to you. |
Posted at 21/6/2010 08:15 by valhamos Good results. All the best ansc, but with improved prospects and a decent dividend yield I'm inclined to hold out for more. |
