There is a gap---that is if you believe in them!? On balance/experience I think I do.

[nellie1973] 26/8/2011 16:11

Tipped in press today as a buy

[aztech10] 25/8/2011 12:59

At these prices IMI really is a steal!

[alter ego] 25/8/2011 07:43

very nice set of results out today

[aztech10] 16/8/2011 07:31

I can honestly see this being back at £11 very soon

[grigor] 11/8/2011 20:56

Good opportunity, Class act, I'm in

Two wads better than one valediction? ;-)

Seriously though, this does seems to have been very harshly marked down in comparison to other similar stocks imo.

If only I had a wad of spare cash lying around......

Screaming buy at this price imo with results in a few weeks & QE3 looking more & more likely.

Short covering & fundamentals over fear coming soon imo.

[epsilon mojo] 03/8/2011 00:59

Drop appears to have been exacerbated by short selling with a surge in the amount of stock out on loan according to the chart on this page (just type IMI into the search bar below the chart):

[epsilon mojo] 02/8/2011 22:19

IMI's turn to be caught in the crossfire of a volatile & fear driven market sell off aimed predominantly at (what the market believes to be) more economically sensitive, cyclical stocks - nothing more than that imo.

Maybe we are heading for a US/European driven collapse in world growth or even the dreaded double dip recession, in which case it's game over for now.

Personally though, I feel the fear is somewhat overdone & expect a (QE3 driven?) rally at some point soon with IMI firmly at the forefront.

Could be a bumby ride in the short term though, especially with the DOW collapsing 266 to 11866 in late trading.

What the hell happened today? Down almost 5% for no obvious reason. Due to report late in August.

[epsilon mojo] 02/8/2011 16:53

Added today - looks very good value again on a medium/long term view imo, market worries aside of course.

[valediction] 27/7/2011 08:40

Still looking strong ,despite all the worries in the world.
Once the US sort out the debt ceiling, the market should breath a big sigh of blue relief.

Until the next crisis of course....its been the year of them.
Perhaps "Plague sweeping through asia rocks markets" is not far away.

I said the same thing on the GKN thread, which I also hold. Any bid at a realistic premium would be bad news other than for short term shareholders as, barring accidents, the share price of these companies will be higher than any likely price paid within 12 months.

[valediction] 07/7/2011 18:03

Oh please yes BUY BUY BUY BUY IMI

[bluebelle] 06/7/2011 21:41

I hope not : would mean a major portfolio readjustment for me!!!


MARKET REPORT: Takeover buzz gives IMI heat
By GEOFF FOSTER

Mind your eye with IMI. That was the shout in dealing rooms as red hot rumours of a £4.8bn, or £15 a share, cash offer from giant New Jersey-based conglomerate Honeywell International helped the industrial engineer touch 1129p before closing 41p higher at 1119.5p.
The gossip coincided with a note from Brewin Dolphin which said it considers IMI to be potentially prey to some of the very large US industrial companies.
IMI, formerly known as Imperial Metal Industries, floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1966 with parent ICI retaining a majority shareholding. ICI sold its remaining interest in 1978 and during the 1980s IMI moved towards higher margin finished products such as pipes, tubes and fittings. Its been onwards and upwards since and last December the Birmingham-based group was admitted to the Footsie.

Well, let's hope today was as good as it gets for you ! I bet there were people thinking the same this time last year when it was trading at under £2 !!!

[valediction] 06/7/2011 17:55

Cheers Bluebell its one I am watching and hoping for a "brief" pull back so I can get in.
