are you there RC?
good to see your in the black again.

[matplum] 02/3/2014 17:35

Did anybody see the article in todays Sunday Times on Perform.
I wonder if this will push the shares up?

[matplum] 20/12/2013 06:22

I think we've already had it.

[rathlindri] 19/12/2013 11:57

any chance of a rebound here?

[investopia] 17/12/2013 19:30

That was fun, EezyMunny.

100% for me, so does that mean I was correct to buy into Perform then? :-)

A good test of grammar. If you get any wrong you are way too badly educated to pick shares IMVHO.

Still underpriced by a long way in my view.

From

hxxp://www.wkrb13.com/markets/240164/perform-group-given-buy-rating-at-jefferies-group-per/

Analyst round-up:

One research analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating, three have assigned a hold rating and four have issued a buy rating to the company. The company currently has an average rating of Hold and a consensus price target of GBX 452.28 ($7.37).

Should be at least 300p without even thinking about it ...

No quick buck to be had here i read the other day........ Not so true :)

[investopia] 16/12/2013 16:31

Some big buys going through today - shrewdies know a bargain when they see it, perhaps?

"Strange comment to make from someone who spells their username completely wrong."

Ahh, but is it wrong, liam1om? A name is a name, how can a name be wrong?

'EezyMunny' is a clever, non-literal play on words that suggests a, possibly, tongue-in-cheek reference to the user's stock-market activities!

[investopia] 13/12/2013 16:06

I'm in at yesterday's close too, Knowing.

Perform still looks good for growth. This glitch provides a good 'in' point in my view.

Management determined etc.

Another case for the minister to examine!

[investopia] 13/12/2013 15:08

I don't believe there's any correlation between investing prowess and mastery of English grammar, EezyMunny. You seem to be labouring under a mistaken belief with that one I'd say.

[eezymunny] 13/12/2013 14:49

Why do you bother posting Mas? If you can't grasp the basics of your native language why would anybody give credence to your investment thoughts?

[knowing] 13/12/2013 14:43

Glad I bought at 182 yesterday

[masurenguy] 13/12/2013 14:42

The only bad sign here is your petty and banal pedantry !
You must be the classic bore that everyone seeks to avoid at parties.

[eezymunny] 13/12/2013 14:17

It's not a typo. It's bad English. A bad sign.

[masurenguy] 13/12/2013 14:07

Such a pedant over a small typo - FFS, get a life !

[eezymunny] 13/12/2013 13:44

Indeed. I think you might mean "you're probably right" not "your". Ghastly English.

[masurenguy] 13/12/2013 13:43

Hmm....you're probably right on the positive net cash. I was looking at the H1 position at the end of June and the placing was 3 days later on 3/7/13.

[eezymunny] 13/12/2013 13:29

Suspect they are net cash as has been a placing to buy OPTA + other acquisitions and not all that cash used . I glanced yesterday and from memory maybe 30-40m net cash. Check for y'self, I only glanced.

[masurenguy] 13/12/2013 13:23

"Credit Suisse......is now looking for earnings per share of 9.2p in 2013 and 11.3p in 2014."

That puts them on a PER of circa 17 for 2014 at a shareprice of 196p and that does not take into account the net debt of circa £22m. Hardly cheap, or even a value proposition, at circa 200p !.

[eezymunny] 13/12/2013 12:53

Yes the key there "Credit Suisse said it has downgraded its adjusted EBITDA forecasts for 2013 and 2014 by 27% and 36%, respectively. It is now looking for earnings per share of 9.2p in 2013 and 11.3p in 2014. The target price has been slashed from 570p to just 246p."

Not obviously cheap at 2 quid some would say. I couldn't possibly comment.
