Very unusual for MNS to be quite so 'volatile', does anyone know any reasons other than the obvious? Any sector problems? or associated problems?
Posted at 04/4/2008 19:57 by njp
Likewise you with MNS, Rob. As you know, I was invested here, but didn't think an on target performance would sustain the price in these uncertain times. I donn't at first glance see next year's target of 3.7p as very impressive either, but admit I haven't looked at things too closely. The company's doing well and going places, but it just feels to me that it's all in the price for now.

I note your point on operational gearing. I had hoped, maybe unrealistically, that it might kick in more for 08. Anyway, all the best, and I'll continue to monitor the company.

Hi All
Well I have to admit I was a little nervous when I saw the "Trading Update" before I read it. After the steady decline in the share price I thought perhaps a profit-warning was on the cards. Although Manpower have been announcing plenty of Contracts, they have increased their workfore, hense costs considerably. Anyway, I can now sleep easy again and hopefully after this stock overhang has been cleared it will be onwards and upwards for the share price.

Regards

Hi Cesar
Its not that fustrating because with the current forecasts the share price is up with events. MNS are forecast todo 3p for y/e May 2008 and the 3.7p for y/e May 2009. Once this May is out the way and the Market starts to look forward to 2009 the shares will be re-rated (assuming the business still continues apace)

As you know I'm a long-term holder and am happy to hold for a few more years yet....if the U.S Healthcare side and N.A.T.O individual countries start to adopt M.A.P.S then this price may well look very silly.

See you soon I expect

From the IC


Manpower invests for the future
Created: 11 February 2008 Written by: Nigel Bolitho
Software companies have certain decisions to make. Should they capitalise development work or not? Should they opt for the safe but unexciting route of maximising retained income? Or should they go for licence income with retained revenue to follow?

Advertising


Manpower Software is going for the licence income route. In the latest half-year, margins have been squeezed by an extra £1m spent on sales expenses and more on marketing to the NHS. Manpower provides rostering software for the maritime, military and healthcare industries and has found success in healthcare. In December 2004, the company had one NHS client. By May 2006, it had seven, a year later 16, and now it has 31 with a target arena of 200 trusts. A turnover breakdown shows that in the latest half year licence income was up £353,000 to £2.48m, while service revenue rose by over £900,000 to £2.85m.

The company's "linearity of licence revenues" is designed to produce rising revenues to keep City analysts happy and broker Numis forecasts end-May sales up from £8.3m to £10.8m and profits £400,000 higher at £1.4m.

2007 5.33 612 1.38 nil
% change +32 +10 +10 –



TIP UPDATE
Buy

This forecast suggests a prospective PE ratio of 20. That's good value for a company that's making big inroads into the NHS. The shares remain a buy.

Last IC view: Buy, 64p, 3 Aug 2007.
Posted at 06/2/2008 20:57 by giddygoat
Digital Look shows f/casts of 2.9p / 3.4p and 3.9p for May 08,09,10 respectively. So not cheap on P/E.

However must be a positive that MNS already confident of meeting this yr's forecast.
Posted at 03/12/2007 13:04 by n1blet
That should help. Surprised still very thin and was that another buy or a sell at the same time and a fraction cheaper.

Anyway good to see dir's supporting their share prices, on a daily basis across the UK mkt sales are lower than usual and buys higher than usual right now. What that really means in a market that must now see the slow down in US and UK/Europe I don't know.

I follow Abacus a distributer. They are doing OK, but said the general French mkt in their sector is down 12%pa and that the last 6/12 months for the UK is one of ongoing slowing down.

So I for one feel unsure about the next 12 mnths. I think I will wait a little longer.

Hi Recruiter
We cant expect MNS share price to go up everyday..a little profit-taking is inevitable but if you like the long-term picture then hold your shares....
