Results were 9th June last year. I suppose we can expect it to appear on the news feed at some random time and not 7am like other companies. This is the only share l've got where you have to keep checking during the day rather than rely on it appearing first thing ;-)

[darlocst] 27/3/2012 08:32

Thats just a guess and is incorrect, the Q3 update was out last month.

The next announcement should be in early to mid June, FY results, which given recent statements, director buying and underlying fundamentals I expect to be very good.

[wjccghcc] 27/3/2012 08:21

You sure? We had the Q3 IMS and finals aren't due until June.

T/S due today

Brilliant research Mr T, thanks.

So the Riverhawk boats will still fall into this current year (to 31/5/12), and the options on the extra boats are looking good, as well as the likelihood of additional orders from Thailand/South Korea.

You'd imagine that the likes of Thailand/S.Korea/Vietnam/Japan/Indonesia will all be beefing up their naval defence forces given the ramping up of all sorts of territorial disputes going on between the lot of them and with China, Russia etc. Not to mention piracy issues too.

Great chart here:



picked up a couple of wadges this morning and last week ahead of that breaking out.

Can get them at 295p at the moment

There's more interest in MSI's defence products, this time by the Royal Thai Navy (through Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering). I look forward to hearing of the definite orders soon!



Thailand's government is thought to be interested in equipping the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) with two to three new frigates. In response to this, South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) unveiled a new frigate concept, the stealthy DW 3000H, at the Defense & Security 2012 Trade Show in Bangkok, Thailand.

...

The DW 3000H is to be multirole frigate with a focus on anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Primary weapon systems are a single Oto Melara 76 mm gun in a stealth turret, an eight-cell vertical launch system for surface-to-air missiles – very likely the ESSM, eight surface-to-surface missiles – most likely American-built Harpoons or the equivalent Korean-built SSM-700K in two quad launchers located amidships, two 30 mm MSI DS30 guns fitted atop the hangar deck and a Phalanx close-in weapon system that is mounted one deck higher. A pair of decoy launchers is also fitted.

Good info Mr.T, Cheers

There's some more news about the US Navy order for Iraq that uses MSI guns:



The two Riverhawk boats were due to be delivered in 2011, but now will be in early 2012.

There's also news about the swiftships. Boats 10-12 are due to be released in May 2012 and the options on boats 13-15 are due to be "definitized" in due course:



I'm not sure when MSI recognises revenue, but the change in delivery dates may have an effect. But it's good to hear the options on the extra 3 boats are expected.

Global MSI has installed an innovative new canopy at Petts Wood Sheel service station:



According to the article, it takes a third of the time to install, costs less, uses local labour, is better quality and reduces the risks of installation accidents.

It is, of course, pr spin. But still nice to read.

[rivaldo] 14/3/2012 12:10

On the move again. The director paid 294.5p for his shares last week so investors now can still pay roughly the same price.

[rivaldo] 09/3/2012 13:26

Cheers OOS - all PR is good PR I s'pose, even if it's not much :o))

[onlyonestorm] 07/3/2012 22:30

It must be true its in the Mail!!

06 Mar MS International PLC MSI Michael Bell 7,000 @ 294.50p £20,615.00

Stormy!! :-)

[rivaldo] 07/3/2012 07:46

Indeed OOS. Can't see any coverage of the director buying in the newspapers. Plus ca change!

OT : I had another bluey yesterday in FSJ, who produced great results. Also ISAble like MSI. Worth a look as another reliable grower imho.

[onlyonestorm] 06/3/2012 22:47

Well I beat you Greenroom78 I had two in the blue MSI & albeit by 0.2p Dunelm LOL!

rivaldo - there does appear a repeated pattern!

Good Luck

Stormy

[greenroom78] 06/3/2012 17:17

At least I have one blue today. Good to see further director support and its back to the level when I bought it.

[rivaldo] 06/3/2012 15:42

He obviously couldn't wait until the new ISA season :o))

Previous director buying here in the past has always led to further good news and share price advances - as can be seen from the chart in the header.

Given the last RNS there's no reason why this should be any different, especially when the director buying is reported tomorrow etc.

[gorse] 06/3/2012 15:11

Indeed:



Except it's over £20,000 worth - that's nearly two ISA allowances .... and he already had over four millions shares!

[onlyonestorm] 06/3/2012 14:27

Director April ISA buys next!!

[rivaldo] 06/3/2012 13:50

Off we go again - a little bit of interest goes a long way with this stock.

[rivaldo] 05/3/2012 11:26

Inching upwards - the long-term chart in the header looks beautiful.

[rivaldo] 01/3/2012 08:38

A little bit of coverage...:o))



"MSI confident for full-year
Last updated: 22nd Feb 2012 at 07:59am | |

MS International (MSI) has reiterated its confidence about full-year performance after building on a "compelling" start.

In November, MSI said it was confident about the full year outlook. In a statement, executive chairman Michael Bell said: "Pleasingly, that confidence prevails with the anticipated outcome becoming progressively more assured."

Bell added that all three divisions of the Doncaster-based engineering business, defence, forgings and petrol station superstructures, were performing "encouragingly" and in line with expectations.

For the six months to 29 October, MSI reported pre-tax profit of £4.1m on sales of £27.9m – up from £25.3m in 2010."

[rivaldo] 29/2/2012 09:08

Wish I'd never forking found it now.... :o))

Nice 3k buy at 285 has sent the price up 5p. Imagine what would happen with a tip or any decent buying interest before the final results.

I'm still going for 35p-40p EPS, with a cash pile which could be anywhere between £10m and £13m and maybe even more.

[onlyonestorm] 27/2/2012 18:02

rivaldo, nice to know you have been "FORKING" around mate, this could be a real "LIFT"!!

mikepompeyfan , well goggled we should be soon "FORGING" ahead!!

Sorry couldn't stop myself!!
