Bought these for the Eezymunny portfolio this morning. Numbers and outlook both good IMO. Not sure it would be exciting in a less bullish market but cheap vs sector and market and reasonable value in a more bearish market?

Surely perfectly positioned to benefit from future growth in internet sales etc. other companies that may benefit such as UKM and DX. are highly rated. Appreciate they in different lines of business but does seem a bit of an anomaly here.

Very nice indeed, has been made good steady progress lately!

[hydrus] 27/2/2014 07:31

Yes good results and an increase in an already substantial dividend

[hvs] 27/2/2014 07:06

Very good results and very positive going forward.

[hydrus] 26/2/2014 18:57

Some substantial buys today good luck to holders for tomorrow's results

[hydrus] 20/2/2014 16:37

If they hit target this will be on a backward PE ratio of less than 10 with a number of years of consecutive profit growth. Can see further growth here in future with increase in internet shopping etc. seems like a bargain to me with a 5% dividend to boot.

[hydrus] 12/2/2014 18:04

Starting to tick back up two weeks until results so looking quite positive

Present price action not good.

One wonders how Miton (specialists in smaller companies) feel given their recent purchases ?

Miton are not often wrong but, then again, Macfarlane has disappointed over the years and is still trading at 40% below previous price levels.

Quiet thread, may interest others who are invested or keeping an eye on MACF.

Any views on reasons for the dip?

Signal Update

Our system's recommendation today is to STAY IN CASH. The previous SELL recommendation was issued on 14/11/2013, 12 days ago, when the stock price was 38.9600. Since then MACF.L has risen by +0.10%.

Market Outlook

The last pattern detected was bullish with positive implications. The overall evidence, however, is saying "Watch Out!" but it is not yet pointing to BUY.

Macfarlane gearing up for busy Christmas
Business is tough in the world of packaging and labels, and sales at Macfarlane (MACF) were flat during the first half. Still, lower costs meant underlying operating profit, which excludes a big benefit from last year's deal with pensioners in its scheme, grew 11 per cent to £2.2m, and the second half is usually busier. A trio of deals with internet retailers, including ASOS, is also exciting.

[randolph and mortimer] 18/10/2013 20:04

Top of the market if this is up here.

[chickcrumbs] 16/10/2013 08:45

As a very talented hindsight trader I can say with conviction I wish I'd bought more at 20p.

[bernie37] 15/10/2013 11:21

first time in profit since 2006.what sp? could they be brought for

[moorsie2] 15/10/2013 09:06

looks like someone is about to acquire Macf - rise in share price has no other rational explanation...

[coolen] 10/10/2013 20:30

Twelve years ago these were over 80p. There's been no share split.

[bernie37] 10/10/2013 15:15

point taken,reached 46p back in 2006 can we see that again

[hvs] 10/10/2013 14:50

lol !!!!!

How long is a piece of string ?

[bernie37] 10/10/2013 14:46

how high can we see these shares rising too

[coolen] 10/10/2013 14:11

Miton is a relatively new fund management group headed by an ex-Gartmore fund manager.

Highly rated -their main fund stands at a premium, not a discount to nav.

They favour smaller companies with whom they can liase.
