dividend on the horizon.

I had these on watchlist with a view to buy, but after results I have removed them. Unfortunately I tend to agree that the share price will weaken further.

You mean negative organic growth on constant currency. Worse, GBP looks to be recovering fast against US$ and Euro, so H2 and 2010 wont look so good. The underlying growth on constant currencies is negative for the first time I can recall and no upturn expected in H2. This is a favorite with fund managers so I am expecting this is the start of the sell off.

Notice of Results
and
Trading Update


Maidenhead, U.K. - July 9th 2009 - SDL plc, the leading provider of Global
Information Management (GIM) solutions, will announce interim results for the
six months ended 30 June 2009 on Tuesday 4 August 2009, which are expected to be
in line with expectations.

Short and sweet, I was hoping to see more details than that.

UK-Analyst comment

SDL (SDL) announced that computer giant Hewlett Packard has selected it to run its corporate websites. The information management specialist said the deal was a "strategically important" one and would build on HP's use of its services in the past. Commenting on the move, Broker Singer Capital said: "At 336p, the shares are trading on 10.4x EV/NOPAT cal'09, falling to 9.4x EV/NOPAT cal'09. Our 315p TP was set before the re-rating of the market in the last couple of months and will be reviewed shortly. This is one of the most consistent companies in the sector in terms of operational delivery and performance." Shares in the firm rose 5.5p to 340.5p.

Excellent news on contract win with Hewlett Packard. Id expect see the 350p resistance broken within next couple of days and hopefully 400p will be in sight. Great company and great balance sheet. Keep it up SDL!

BROKER CALL Panmure gushes over SDL's new translation tool, stays buyer
5 June, 2009

Broker says it cannot gush enough over SDL's new translation tool, SDL Trados, opting to remain a buyer of the stock with a price target of 340p.

The new release promises 25-30% productivity improvements, and knits together new (translation memory) and existing (workflow) tools. In our opinion this looks a very promising product."

[silverfern] 28/5/2009 12:33

thanks - let's see if it gets up further

[barack obama] 28/5/2009 10:19

silverfern......nice little bounce, decent volume yesterday, well done.

[silverfern] 28/5/2009 08:26

I recently topped up at these levels- looking forward to the next results

[barack obama] 19/5/2009 11:58

This is on my buy list has anyone got a recent broker forecast?

Independent view

SDL

Our view: Buy

Share price: 335p (+4.5p)

It cannot have taken too much time to translate SDL's brief and to-the-point trading statement yesterday. That the group did not go into great detail should not overly concern investors, however, as it did say that the group expects to beat market expectations on revenue and operating profits.

Those holding shares in the group that provides translation software to clients in North America, Europe and the Middle East have enjoyed a good year, with the stock in positive territory over the past 12 months.

The chief executive, Mark Lancaster, says he is ecstatic with the company's performance during the recession and trading is better than expected. For investors, the business model is defensive, he says, arguing that the clients rarely leave foreign territories and always need translation services. The other good news is that on 11.6 times 2009 earnings, the stock is hardly trading at pricey levels.

Buyers may baulk, however, at the news that there are no plans to pay a dividend. Mr Lancaster says the board prefers to keep the balance sheet in good shape and keep back a war chest for acquisitions.

Investors should certainly be backing those that show resilience in these dangerous times and, while we think it is time that buyers saw some cash from SDL by way of a dividend, we conclude that the strong performance of the stock justifies a punt. Buy.

Does anyone see an impact from the recent IPO of Rosetta Stone in the US?

[spaceparallax] 06/4/2009 15:58

We've pretty much reached the recent broker target.

[spaceparallax] 02/4/2009 13:43

Chart's beginning to look pretty determined to plough ahead.
