Nice share this, should continue its rise I think if the results are good in Jan.

Stocks on the rise in the UK today. Compiled by Dow Jones Newswires Markets Desk, [e-mail]
0856 GMT [Dow Jones]--Jefferies upgrades its investment recommendation for Hays (HAS.LN) to buy from hold, and lifts its price target to 180p from 165p. Lifts its FY16 EPS estimate by 5% to accommodate more optimistic projections for U.K. white collar wage inflation, the Australian recovery gathering momentum ahead of the key seasonal permanent trading period, plus the recent acquisition of Verdus leads them. Jefferies also expects GBP350million of special dividends between FY16 and FY19. Hays shares +1.4% at 142p. ([e-mail])

Randstad beats expectations - revenues and permanent jobs a lot better.

Nice bounce today, trend is upwards now?

[rathlindri] 28/10/2014 10:03

Decent rise this morning, hoping it continues..

[wad collector] 15/10/2014 12:52

Less impressive if you look at the actual numbers not the pretend lfl numbers (if there wasn't a currency headwind).
Clearly the market has not been overwhelmed as now dropping to 12 month low , but have to see in the context of market weakness.
I am still not buying back in , but few more pence might persuade me.

Cracking set of numbers

Tipped by MIDAS in Mail on Sunday.

This has suffered more than most recently for no apparent reason. Goes XD next week

[deadly] 28/8/2014 09:07

Results very good, and confirm that the fall was overdone.

"This is a strong financial performance, and we are ahead of
schedule in terms of our aspirations to broadly double the
Group's
operating profits by 2018. I am also pleased that our excellent
earnings and cash performance has enabled us to increase the
dividend by 5%.

[deadly] 26/8/2014 16:50

Recovering strongly now.
Surprising that STAF is going sharply in opposite direction
today.

[wad collector] 06/8/2014 17:23

I am still waiting ; todays further drop to 116p seems irrational unless I am missing something.

[deadly] 22/7/2014 23:02

In the end bought back in - fall overdone perhaps. Hoping for a bounce from here.

[deadly] 11/7/2014 20:41

This is still over-priced at a forward P/E of 20, despite the growth, and was due a fall. STAF or HVN are much better value for example.
I'd buy back in if it falls below 100.

[wad collector] 10/7/2014 13:54

Predicted pretax of 140M for full year ., 18% up on last yr looks solid enough ; presumably the market was wanting more.
And yet the brokers consensus was 125-135.
Maybe I am missing something , otherwise I shall be buying back in here if it keeps dropping .
