The Company aren't very chatty either, not many announcements.
Still it seems to be going along well as usual.
Not much action for hyperactive dealers
Roll on year end figures - only just over 3 months to wait

You don't get much better than that.

There was an IMS a month ago- 20 August.

[gohilster] 22/9/2014 21:21

No real support until £5. Any trading update due before interims?

[grigor] 22/9/2014 20:36

2 months to interims

[deadly] 22/9/2014 20:33

Don't know what's caused the recent fall. Looks like a rare chance to top up.

[deadly] 20/8/2014 21:36

Strong IMS today. Continuing growth; should put a base on the price from here.

The FD as an exec director , is required to build up a holding equal to her salary within 3 years of joining. She is still well short of that , so don't read anything in her share purchase.
AGM went well.

AGM took place today.

Speaking at the Annual General Meeting, Jeremy Pilkington, Chairman, commented:

"I am very pleased to report that the excellent business momentum with which we ended the previous financial year has carried forward into this year. The Group has enjoyed a strong first quarter, delivering good revenue growth in all market segments. The market background remains positive and with current trading ahead of expectations, the Group is well positioned to deliver further good progress this year."


This has been a good share for me .... and more to come, it seems.

[ed 123] 18/7/2014 12:20

Finance Director must be happy with things at VP. She bought some shares in the market.

[wjccghcc] 05/6/2014 08:54

Yup. Extremely well managed company in an economic sweet spot.

[ed 123] 05/6/2014 07:47

Yes, V11SLR, lovely finals.

Basic earnings per share announced at 39.78p. I have market consensus as being 35.27p.

Optimistic outlook too.

I'm expecting a very favourable market reaction. A 10% rise in the share price would put it around 700p. If it doesn't get there today, it seems only a matter of time.

[v11slr] 05/6/2014 07:29

Lovely finals from VP. I wouldn't normally copy so much but it's all good.

Jeremy Pilkington, Chairman of Vp plc, commented:
"It has been another highly successful year for the Group with significant progress in revenue, profits, earnings per share and dividends.

Economic indicators in the UK and mainland Europe now appear more positive than for some time and all businesses within the Group are identifying significant opportunities for growth and investment.

We believe that our established financial discipline combined with the active pursuit of growth opportunities will continue to deliver quality returns for shareholders.

We look forward to the year ahead with confidence."

[wjccghcc] 03/6/2014 10:29

Um, forecasts are for 34-38p. Not sure where you get 53/54p from?

[ganthorpe] 03/6/2014 09:20

Results due Thursday - should be good maybe earnings up to 53/54P looking good value at about 640p - pity the spread is so wide.
Bought 2000 just after 8am but MM being naughty and delaying reporting trades - FCA whinge on about false markets and market manipulation but this OK?
