Slightly surprised LUP hasn't picked up some benefit from WOS results indicating strength in the US construction market.

According to the accounts, page 35, total profit for the year amounted to £15,483M, of which GT made £7,399M and the building products made £1,309M, with the receipt by the company a tax credit of £6,775M.

In fact I was wrong when I said GT made half the profits. GT made in fact 85% of the profits of the year. Of the total profit made for the year of £15,483M, GT made £7,399M, the building products made £1,309m with a tax credit of £6,775M.

Under the circumstances, I wonder whether shareholders approval would be appropriate in this instance.

Lup will be OK this year, for it will book the profit on GT in the accounts for this year, but it will have its work cut out to get any decent profits into the accounts of the following year, when only the building products will be included.

I don't disagree with you in principle, a1samu, but the fact is that GT was marketed very widely over the years and nobody was prepared to pay anything like what we thought it was worth. The fact that it has gone to private equity (presumably a MBO?) rather than a 'trade buyer' follows that pattern, no? I always thought it would go to someone like John Wood where you'd have thought that GT's earnings X WG.'s P/E ratio would have made it hugely attractive, but nobody in the oil services sector has come forward to buy it. Like you, I'm sorry to see it go (it was a significant cash generator with good management which can't have taken up much Head Office time) but once LUP became a pure 'building products' company rather than the 'conglomerate' it used to be, the writing was on the wall for GT.

Had a phone call from a broker in New York last night offering between £2-6 per share on behalf of a client who is looking at getting 51% of the company. Had to stop myself laughing as he sounded so serious, do these people think we were born yesterday. In the end put him on hold by the radio so I could go to the little boys room. Finally went back to the phone when the football finished and he was still there, told him he was a crook and hung up

That's the way to do it! Announce good figures then wade in and buy at the peak. A definite vote of confidence.

Yes still a substantial holder here.
Better news from USA on housing starts, renewal and extension of debt facility on improved terms,lower Corp Tax charge, forecast 2p div in March,recent acquisition all assisting sentiment.
Think around 10x 13.8p 2012 forecast earnings and price of 140p seems about right for the moment.
I sold a very small amount of my holding today on the pop - must confess more out of boredom than conviction - not the best way to invest!

Anyone left here? LUP seems to be moving back towards highs. Building products market seems to be holding up remarkably well (viz TPK, WOS etc) and even housebuilders are doing OK (PSN). Trading update due here late January. Good news?

There was a very strong Trading Statement today from Travis Perkins which I suspect has rubbed off on LUP.

Today's trading statement hardly inspiring but I think the recent share price weakness has factored this in. On the plus side net debt continues to decline so I would expect to see an increased divi this year.

Having read the LTIP document, one of the things that heartens me is that the performance criteria are linked to earnings per share rather than anything to do with the share price or 'Total Shareholder Return'. IMHO it is entirely correct that the Board should focus on eps - the one thing they can influence directly - rather than the share price which varies at the whim of the market. Boards should focus on revenue, profits, eps and divis and let the share price look after itself; if they get the first bit right, the rest will follow!

The only thing I'm not so sure about is that the eps target is 38-47p over 3 years (i.e. 12.66p-15.66p/year). Maybe OK compared to 2010 earnings but remember that underlying earnings in 2007 and 2008 were 14.2p! Back to the future?!
