Not much of a premium but I guess for the institutional investors who have been in since the IPO it produces a good return with certainty Vs waiting perhaps another year to see if management can turn the ship around.

Really I would not have thought this will be hitting £3.00 until H2 statement think many investors might wait to see how cost cutting effects overall profitability. I would be over the moon if I am wrong though.

What would i get by paying? Not a lot for a private investor. If u want to post all day on a share u have no intention to buy or short up to u. Seems strange imo

Well JT the P/E has dropped from 61 to a forward looking 32 still expensive but a buy in todays Investors Chronicle.

Peel Hunt has also given a post result buy upgrade.

We live in hope.

No dividend though, investors like to see some divi if they are to invest. Results haven't done much for the share price.

Expertise Group only has a market cap of £6.1 million, otherwise I think it meets the rest of Papal Power's criteria. It seems to be rather unfortunate to otherwise overlook it, especially in view of today's trading update:

Period end trading update for the year ending 31 December 2007

Xpertise Group PLC is pleased to report a continuation of the strong trading
reported in the first half of 2007. Results for the year ending 31 December 2007 are expected to show continued growth in turnover and profits and are expected to be in line with market expectations. The group is also expected to have net cash at the year end in excess of £2 million.

The group has continued to expand its presence in managed training services and
has secured additional contract gains in the final quarter of the year. The
significant contracts secured at the start of 2007 are also expected to
contribute strongly to turnover and profits for the full year.

The full year results are expected to be reported in the week commencing 25
February 2008.

ShareScope currently has XPG on a forward P/E of just 8.54 and a Rolling PEG-1 of 0.24.



Daniel Stewart rated XPG a buy on 31/10/07, when the share price was 132p, with a profit target of £0.68m

Investors Chronicle rated XPG a buy in August when the share price was 108.5p

The following is a copy of my post made on the Creston (CRE) thread. I am posting it here as it seems to fit the criteria:

. . . there is a stock that I think is worth drawing to attention: Creston (CRE).

I have just gone long myself today at 111p.

Creston first came onto my radar last December when I bought the 200p breakout as a low-PEG play/52-week high play. I sold after a few days for a small loss after the 200p breakout failed.

I have kept the stock on my watchlist ever since, only to watch the share price slide relentlessly. (So, it was a good move to get out when I did!) However, on the basis of available information, the shares now look ridiculously cheap, IMHO. They were cheap enough at 200p!

Here are some fundamentals:

Profit (£m)
2004 2.09
2005 2.59
2006 4.72
2007 8.28
2008 (F) 15.91
2009 (F) 17.22

Turnover (£m)

2004 29.45
2005 35.87
2006 81.47
2007 117.62
2008 (F) 138.87
2009 (F) 148.86

EPS (p)

2004 9.02
2005 6.91
2006 7.55
2007 9.27
2008 (F) 16.72
2009 (F) 18.4

Other

Projected P/E: 6.52 !!!
Rolling PEG-1: 0.21 !!!
Projected Yield 2.66%
Beta: 0.21
Cap (£m): £60.7
Brokers Consensus: "Buy"
Investors Chronicle View (15 June 2007, when at 180p): "Buy"

It looks, to me, like the share price has recently double bottomed at 106p. I have placed my current stops around 95p. I find it hard to believe that 100p levels will fail, unless there is unexpected bad news.

But what is the company saying?

Importantly, Creston is due to release its Interim Results on Friday 30 November .

Here is the full pre-close trading statement.


27 September 2007

Creston plc

Pre-close trading statement


Creston plc, the Insight and Communications Group, issues the following trading
update for the six month period to 30 September 2007 in advance of announcing
its interim results on 30 November.

The Board has been pleased with the number and size of the new business wins,
which have demonstrated the quality and industry standing of the Group
companies. New client wins across the Group include Alton Towers, Capital One,
Freeview, GlaxoSmithKline, Intercontinental Hotels Group, Pricerunner.co.uk,
Royal Mail, Smart cars and Telstra.

In addition to these wins, there have been major new project and brand wins from
existing clients such as AstraZeneca, Capital Radio, Infinti from Nissan, direct
marketing consultancy for Numico in Austria and Thailand, Opel, Roche, Sainsbury
Bank from Sainsbury's, Slim Fast from Unilever, Vauxhall, and Sunbites from
Walkers Crisps.

Cross-selling between Creston's operating companies has also been very
successful in the period with new projects being won from several clients
including AstraZeneca, Morrisons, Servier, Stihl and Toshiba.

The Board is confident that the wins will maintain a similar like for like
revenue growth that was reported at 12% for the first quarter.

Digital and on-line projects continue to grow as a proportion of revenues and we
have increased our investment in specialist staff to match this development.
This necessary investment will have a very minor impact on first half operating
margin.

The balance sheet is strong and we have substantial unutilised bank facilities.
The Board retains the flexibility to settle earn out liabilities predominantly
in cash and loan notes rather than the issue of shares, as was demonstrated in
the settlement of the two earn outs in June of this year, which were 100% in
loan notes.

The Group has continued to perform well in the first half of the year
demonstrating its ability to deliver growth as a diversified Insight and
Communications Group. The new business pipeline continues to be strong with
major pitches planned across all companies and we are confident that our
successful pitch to win ratio will ensure a positive impact for the rest of the
financial year.

What clinched the trade for me is the fact that the MACD is showing important positive divergence (which shows up rather more convincingly on my ShareScope Graphs than the chart posted below). Hopefully, the share price will soon follow.

1-year with MACD:


Having placed my own stops just below 100p, I am risking about 15%.

If the trend reverses up to, and in consequence of, market pleasing results, I see no reason why the shareprice could not climb quite quickly back to previous highs: a potential gain in excess of 75%. That seems to me a great risk/reward ratio.

Please DYOR.

Thanks PP for the update.
Your list would make the best of templates for an investment portfolio.
Of course low pe and forward pe is not the only criteria for investing and the quality of management, the product itself, gearing and many other factors have to be considered.
It is however no coincidence that your list features quite a few stocks that I hold and I have to admit to having scoured it for more bargains. I was persuaded to buy into WGP.
This thread is a potential gold mine for investors interested in low caps of huge potential. It would make the basis for an excellent higher risk higher returns investment or unit trust. Maybe a new career beckons for you.

By the way be prepared on August 30 to take RCG off the list as it surges to a new share price high and the pe hopefully rises to somewhere near a respectable 12-15.
