I am not aware of any negative news - has there ever been any!!!

Can only assume the profit takers have moved in following the run up to last weeks, usual, superb set of results. Regards, Baz

fellowes agree on the £2 and think we will be seeing MER much higher in 12 months - Bob certainly delivers the goods!! - Note MM's have marked MER up 4.1% before opening. Cheers - b

What fantastaic results.

EPS Up over over 40% and a 43% increase in the dividend, 35% organic growth coupled with a buoyant outlook statement, 200p a share should be easily achievable short term.

[cambium] 20/8/2004 19:44

200p a share for resilts now looks well within reach

and is beginning to look conservative.

A new high certainly looks a good bet as possitive news flow before the interims.

Mears Group shares were on an upward tack as traders digested
yesterdays news that the company has been chosen as a preferred partner for a
7-year contract worth up to 200 mln stg with Sheffield City Council.
Formal appointment is expected in October 2004 and the work is scheduled to
commence in November 2004.
The Group's order book now stands at in excess of 750 mln stg and extends
until 2019.
Arbuthnot reiterated its 'buy' stance on the stock - 4 pence better at 180
by 8.37 am - saying the contract underpins medium-term growth

"The company has achieved an annual compound growth in profits of 43% since listing on AIM in 1996. Last year profits grew 40% to £5.2 million."

Mears are still cutting it big time. Results could be well ahead after this and their recent trading statement imo.

In sum it is greed, fear and hope!

Which comes down to controlled logic with a dash of optimism!!!

Mears Group PLC could raise up to 50 mln stg to make a major
acquisition, chairman Bob Holt told AFX News.

The group, which provides essential support services to the social housing
sector, is in talks with a number of parties regarding acquisition
opportunities.

'We are always in discussions and our favoured target has annual revenues of
between 20-30 mln stg,' Holt said.
Mears reported a pretax profit for 2003 of 5.24 mln, up 39 pct and ahead of
market forecasts.

It has an order book of 550 mln stg, up from 300 mln in the previous year.

Following the result, Arbuthnot increased its year to December 2004 pretax
profit forecast on the group to 6.4 mln stg from 5.9 mln and for the ensuing
year it now looks for 7.9 mln instead of 7.0 mln.

He has also published new forecasts for 2006 and 2007 - 9.4 mln and 10.9 mln
respectively.
