oh dear not much confidence in this one today is there--put your money in a nice safe growth situation MLR. A short term double and with a long way to run

piruxi - 6 Nov'07 - 15:48 - 76 of 76


It depends on how short you expect short term to be,

CVant really expect much this time of year as we run up to Christmas, but now we have added mojor woes.

MLR now as safe as houses can be. Buy CGNY for the quality of the board of directors.

If you dont hold with that put opur money into the BS but not NRK, just short that one.

Well, everything falling nicely into place, recent positive news followed by positive interim news and now backed up by director's dealings, bodes well for future growth...all we need now is for someone to tell the MM's. future looks rosy for MLR.

This could well get press comment...Sundays sort of stuff.It's that PEG of 0.2 for the year to end March 2009 that grabs attention.That combined with cash flow generation and the prospect of further acquisitions makes this look very exciting.That said i've been averaging this one, occasionally, for years.Another set of figures is probably needed to fully restore credibilty.

Any new Institutions getting involved ?? I saw that the VCT's are there - who tend to be long term holders but they can only BUY NEW stock ... funny how the brokers FM side is also one of their largest shareholders !!!

[gogoneko] 06/11/2007 09:30

rcktmn,

I hoping for the same - a gradual improvement in share price with short-termers moving to other grounds for their investment strategy. With such a wide spread there's a good deterrent for hot money and I think a few traders have been caught out by the calm build-up and reaction to today's good news.

[rcktmn] 06/11/2007 09:12

yep..too soon to expect fireworks with the share price .. expect this to be a slow upward but ultimately rewarding show !

[spursspurs] 06/11/2007 08:49

good news! looks like it has been worth holding!

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Maelor PLC, the specialist hospital medicines company, made a first half pretax profit of 700,000 stg, compared with a 70,000 loss last year, due to acquisitions and restructuring effects.

First half sales were 3 mln stg, which surpassed the total for the whole of last year, while interim EPS was 48 pence. Cash at the period end was 1.7 mln stg, up from 1.1 mln this time last year.

The company has made a number of partnering deals, most recently a partnership with Swiss compnay Helsinn to market the Aloxi nausea product in the UK.

Maelor chairman Geoff McMillan said the that the company's strategy would be to drive growth through further acquisitions. [e-mail] jh1/lam

Added the interim highlights and forecasts to the header. 1.1p this year, 1.5p next year....

[rcktmn] 06/11/2007 08:14

Very pleased with the solid set of results and it's looking good for the next 12/18months... I'm hanging in there for the 20p+ levels which I think will be achieved gradually (IMHO)(got in at 11.5p some 2yrs back)

[piruxi] 06/11/2007 08:13

should do and thats long over due

[steeplejack] 06/11/2007 08:12

They've turned the corner.I agree 20p looks achieveable even in this soggy market

[garth] 06/11/2007 08:09

Very good results IMO. Should take MLR past 1p eps for the full year and on 130%+ growth (albeit via acquisition) they should surely be on more than 13X historic earnings..... These results should take us past 15p and possibly all the way to 20p, IMO.

[gogoneko] 06/11/2007 07:59

Seems like a solid set of results with plenty to be positive about from a profitable business with good pipeline although they fell short of my expectations/guesswork. Considering they've exceeded the CEO's expectations though they're obviously doing the right thing.

Good figs ... should see a tick up then profit takers hitting by 4pm

[gogoneko] 05/11/2007 23:49

Hoping for at least the following tomorrow. Hard to guess what Acorus may bring in but as they haven't seemed to add much to their portfolio recently maybe it's prudent to assume they're not longer doing anything like doubling turnover as they did between '05 and '06 to £3m:

Turnover: (4.5 months of) Acorus £1.55m-£1.7m + Organic MLR £1.7m-£1.8m
Margin 55% (rising from previous 48%)
Gross Profit: £1.78m-£1.92m

Costs: £1m
Op Profit: £780k-£920k

Poss. Acorus payment: £500k

Interest: £100k
Tax: £80k

Profit: £300k-£440k
