I'm sure there are plenty of potential bidders for Hichens but I can't see the managemnet or the institutional shareholders selling out of this gold mine for some time. The business is at an early stage and 100% eps growth should command a pe of at least 25x. They look well on target for £12m this year so what is a fair price?

Today's Times: Hichens Harrison, the stockbroker, rose 33½p to 243½p after saying that it was confident that growth had been impressive in the second half. It has also been subject to takeover talk.

Any bid would have to be north of a fiver but I can't see these guys selling out yet, they are just getting started.

Apparently there is a big short position trying to buy back - that should be interesting.

HICH are growing profits at over 100% a year and it now looks clear that they made £6m last year and are confident of making £12m this year. The cash/financial instruments pile must be £17m at the year end. That puts them on 1.5x earnings for this year (ex cash) with over 100% growth rate. This valuation is wrong. I'm topping up.

Another big deal from the Middle East. Pretty confident now they will have made £6m last year and be on track for £12m this year, thats 3x earning for 2008 or about 1.5x exc cash. We will see £5 broken this year and most likely £6 as well. My nap for 2008.

Today's deal must put $2.5m on HICH's bottom line with more to come next year on the ipo. The market is not interested but HICH is making tremendous benefit of its overseas offices. Can they keep doubling profits year on year? Its a tall order but perhaps they can.

plus financial instruments £14.8m makes £16.8m ie over £1 a share, plenty of potty prices around at the moment, whatever its time for me to buy more.

Yet another bid for a broker, is that 5 or 6 bids in the last few months, with this degree of consolidation DAN and HICH look so undervalued they are obvious targets.

Close Bros Statement re Possible Offer

8 November 2007

Close Brothers Group plc ("Close Brothers")

Statement regarding possible offer

The Board of Close Brothers notes this morning's announcement by Cenkos
Securities plc regarding a takeover approach to the Company. The Board confirms
that an approach was received on 7 November 2007 from a consortium of Cenkos
Securities and Landsbanki at a level of 950 pence per share in cash. The
indicative offer was highly conditional, and no discussions have been held with
the consortium.

The Directors consider that this offer is wholly inadequate and accordingly have
rejected the approach. The Board does not propose to pursue discussions with the
consortium.

No working capital??? HICH had £10m and has raised £4m cash from two leading institutions at 350p and 375p recently. There is a shorting campaign including all sorts of malicious rumours but I just see it as an opportunity to buy very cheap stock. Carry on shorting gentlemen, but try sticking with the facts.

seems to clear to me from chart where this is going, rumours in the market that they are having trouble hiring good people plus they are letting people down in raising money.
Why cannot these smaller brokers understand that the money is to be made in doing what they are supposed to do well, rather than grand talk about old style merchant bank.
Next stop 200p i predict

Rapid expansion is not without risk but the reward will be huge as they pull it off. With London brokers delivering solid results and several takeovers in the sector HH cannot stay at this level for long. The accolade of "London's oldest broker" doen't count for much here but in many parts of the world it is extremely important and opens doors. I can see HICH beating the £12m profits forecast for 2008 and the shares at the £10 level...........as long as they don't do a Barings. Time will tell.

this is nonsense about London's oldest broker as if it counts for anything, Barings was London's oldest Merchant Bank! This is an business that is expanding on all fronts at the same time, London, Dubai, Asia, South America, how much management resource does it have to manage these businesses. the CEO before buying into HICH was part of a management team that nearly ran Teathers into the ground when it over-expanded. This is another accident waiting to happen, see my previous comments on CART before the shares fell out of bed

Agreed HH is a very dynamic operation and could easily be making more profit than thie entire market cap a few years out. Leveraging the reputation of London's oldest broker around the world is brilliant and they are delivering the profits. The only danger is they might get taken out at a silly price before they fulfil their potential. So many bids in this sector now, HH cannot have gone unnoticed; £15m cash profits £6m this year, £12m next make them the cheapest House in town.

That sounds like sour grapes to me. The CEO and his team have built a once morabund stockbroker going nowhere fast into a dynamic broker doing exciting deals both here in the UK and around the world. Profits have been growing fast and they look to have a bright future ahead. IMHO

now is the time to dump this share imho, a series of small deals around the world which will be difficult to monitor, a ceo who is running around like a headless chicken, a weak nomad, and grandiose talk about building another old fashioned merchant bank. That would be rather like Barings then?....wonder whatever happened to them
