Still gradually improving as results day gets closer.

Well under the radar and a super little business, with the added magic "China" ingredient.

Results will please.

Yes, noticed the recent brokers forecast changes which effectively amounted to a profits warning but allowed the new management to keep silent and then issue an "in line" statement.

In H1 £1.6m pre tax was made - what's happened to H2?

Had a small position awaiting developments from the new management but sold yesterday.

Will keep tabs on - be interesting to see how much these new guys are being paid.

Daniel Stewart maintained its "buy" rating for Stadium Group (SDM) with a target price of 123p. The electronics firm will release its full year results for the year ended 31st December 2011 on 7th March and the broker forecasts pre-tax profits of 2.1 million pounds, on revenues of 44.9 million pounds. Daniel Stewart noted that despite the company's small scale it is already delivering impressive margins, with a target of between 8% and 10% in 2013. The broker expects this to be achieved through cost reduction following a review of supply chains and reorganisation of the UK assembly structure. The shares jumped by 6p to 72.5p.

Moving nicely up ahead of results

I like the sentence at the end of the Notice of Results today -- results expected to be in line with market expectations. Always read the small print!

[chrisb1103] 19/1/2012 13:02

Thanks, that's a decent number to aim at. There's definitely tons of potential in the business here i reckon and so in the share price too.

Daniel Stewart initiated coverage of Stadium Group (SDM) with a "buy" recommendation and 123p target price. The broker says that the electronics company has successfully reorganised its UK business, following the appointment of new chief executive Stephen Phipson in September 2011. Daniel Stewart also notes the group's strong presence in China, with over 1,000 employees. Shares in Stadium dropped 1.5p to 64.5p.

A t/o target for TTG perhaps given SDM's bias towards manufacturing in China?

[gargoyle2] 02/11/2011 07:26

One doubling his holding and one adding 10%. I don't think it's too bad. It's not as if you can buy a big chunk of these in one go anyway. I'm still holding here. Price currently just below my average buy price.

What's that, about £16,000 invested yesterday by the directors in their company.

Not much of a vote of confidence is it.

so kitchen sink ?

[yoyoy] 19/10/2011 16:45

New high for SDM.

Two excellent appointments from much bigger FTSE companies.

Their job - laid out by the Chairman in the recent interims

Commenting on the outlook, Nick Brayshaw OBE, Chairman of Stadium Group plc, said,

"The appointment of Stephen Phipson as Chief Executive is ideally timed to capitalise on the wealth of exciting opportunities which exist to grow the business. The company's strong balance sheet sees it ideally placed to grow both organically and through targeted acquisitions. The exposure to high growth, innovative sectors offers the chance to increase market share in our target sectors, and there are plans to invest in the middle management capability and to enhance the equipment base to underpin this growth."

I reckon an updated brokers note is on the cards

This is looking interesting with a nice little pop recently. Short term average crossing rising longer term as well.

Might there be a deal coming?

[owenski] 03/10/2011 15:11

Wonder if the new chief brought him in. SDM starting to look interesting, would like to see some numbers to confirm the new strategy before joining here.

[yoyoy] 03/10/2011 15:00

New appointment in China.

was a vp for Laird

[yoyoy] 01/9/2011 12:02

Wow, new CEO at long last.

Someone moving from a large co to make a lot of dosh from a small AIM stock

[jeff h] 01/7/2011 08:03

Yes but recall a 500k rollover a couple of days ago and a near 400k Buy a couple of weeks ago.

[yoyoy] 30/6/2011 19:46

I think the only trade of any importance is the final 250k - the other large trades are in pairs, only seconds apart, within the spread and the price didn't budge.

[jeff h] 30/6/2011 16:32

A lot of trades going through....wonder why?...managed to buy some for 66p.....quoted 69p soon after so stock shortening.

[labatie] 27/6/2011 07:28

Has there been any communication re new CEO?

[alter ego] 04/4/2011 16:18

Stadium Group has completed the sale of surplus freehold property at Chingford, North London, to Wrenbridge (Chingford) Limited for £2.60m, before disposal costs.

Nice bounce on the Mail tip; it seems that the profit takers have all fled after the results so a little buying goes a long way.

Happy to hold; nice yield and great potential.
