I think these are excellent results, the company is growing revenues, increasing higher margin business, whilst being cash generative at the same time. A continuation of this trend will see profits increase significantly over the next few years.

There is also an increased order book, providing better visibility of revenues a higher dividend and reduced debt, what's there not to like?

Canaccord Genuity: Buy, 304p target

[stegrego] 17/1/2013 12:45

Bit of a bait and switch operation going on here....
'Oh look we are doing really well...'
Week later
'Oh hang on, no we arent'

Poor show and glad I didnt buy in on that contract RNS. Too sneaky.

It would be more of a concern if any director has reduced his/her holding in the past few days -there has been no such announcement.

[spaceparallax] 17/1/2013 09:59

I'm happy to remain here but agree that the profit warning and contract news would have been better delivered together.

Westhouse Securities - Buy with 325p target

Looks like margins is the problem, nice to get orders but you have to make decent money. Very disapointed in the statement. One to leave alone for a while.

[stevemarkus] 17/1/2013 09:34

Yes, a little odd that the news on profits falling short should come after such a positive RNS on contracts little more than a week ago. Slightly sharp practice?

Cheers,
Steve.

[weatherman] 17/1/2013 09:34

Hopefully it will be short lived down turn...they are booking more orders and seeking to lift margins going forward.

[gymfit] 17/1/2013 08:42

taking a whack after the profit warning

[spaceparallax] 08/1/2013 15:51

on the march again

[spaceparallax] 08/1/2013 13:48

with news as good as that, it would be a strange time to sell - unless subject to a cashcall

[fegga] 08/1/2013 12:55

so who's selling into the good news?
trades today showing 19k buys vs 57k sells.

[spaceparallax] 08/1/2013 10:12

Great news - the leaky system is a mite irritating but very pleased to see us heading firmly in the right direction.

[daz] 08/1/2013 09:30

Didn't know that Aishah - thanks

Techinvest nap tip for 2013 with a rating of 8

[daz] 08/1/2013 08:08

Nice reaction, the contract should underpin expected growth for this year with perhaps more to come. Will be interesting to see if forecasts are upgraded.

here we go again - I wonder if there's more driving this than just the broker note.
