Judging from the market reaction, I think we can safely assume that they like the figures. Which, is nice.

At first read these seem to be a sparkling set of results to my untrained eye. The divi increase gives a good yield of 4.8% at current share price The historic pe is either 9.2 or 11.3 depending on which eps figure you prefer. Neither would indicate that the share price is stretched given that management have indicated that their growth plans are on target. Coupled with a good outlook statement I would say that we are set fair for another 12 months of growth, good dividends and another increase in our share price. What's not to like?

Great results. Seems well positioned in its markets and progress across the board.

Cheers edmund!

Hopefully it will make good money but hopefully not cannibalise sales.

One title I want is c8% cheaper than Amazon, free postage and they pay UK taxes. Will definitely give them a try. Have just tweeted about the site.

'Dividend of the Week' in IC. On line today and no doubt in print on Friday. Won't do the share price any harm at all.

Good visibility of pension costs for the medium term and useful cash saving

[markie7] 30/8/2013 08:05

Nice announcement

Still happy here.

Printing and news have been so good over the last year or two as the market took fright over the dying industry tag, then had a rethink.

The market is not dying, it's changing; some segments contracting, other new ones appearing: good management takes advantage, bad that cannot change with the times falls by the wayside. Meanwhile strong cash cows and dividends are supporting the investment case very nicely.

Promising move. New high coming?
