Very pleased with results which were slightly ahead of market expectations, with net debt only £0.24m now it shows how much cash the business is generating.

Margins also increasing to 5.2% (3.2%) this with revenues 19% ahead made very pleasant reading this morning.

Fantastic results

EPS AT 32.9p well ahead of forecasts

Divi of 13.5p

New year has started well

Should be trading above 300p

Very solid results imo:

"Group revenue for the year was GBP200.77m, an increase of 19% over prior year. Underlying operating profit* was GBP10.49m, 92% ahead of prior year. Underlying operating margin increased to 5.2% from 3.2% in the prior year. Profit before tax was GBP8.09m (2009: GBP2.83m), an increase of 186%.

Net debt reduced to GBP0.24m from GBP3.13m at the end of 2009.

Basic earnings per share were 26.65p (2009: 9.39p)

And confident going fwd: "Despite the wider threats to economic growth, the momentum developed in the past year is evident in the early weeks of 2011"

Final divi up to 9p too (13.7p for the yr)

Great BS and P&L increases all round, fantastic increase in ROE, as for against expectations, Digital look not showing correct figures me thinks, so not sure there..

Next update should be good FOUR all of us! Hold on tight.

Yes I 'm sure these are very undervalued and performing over expectations, which will become apparent on Wednesday. I brought some more earlier in the week for the account of my nephew, to go with his holding of SDM. We had a good start to his introduction to stocks and shares with his first holding FSG being taken over for a good profit.

Not easy to grab an 18 years old attention away from girls, but he seems to be taking a keen interest now.

yep, decent buying today.

[chrisb1103] 25/2/2011 17:09

Buyers back again, ticking up here, Wednesday's the day...

[cockneyrebel] 18/2/2011 13:44

Next week will be the week here imo - the week before the results when punters start really buying. The buying started this week and cleared that backlog imo.

Up more today - on a chart trend 290p looks the next level on the resistance line looking at the two recent highs.

[cockneyrebel] 17/2/2011 18:38

yep, looks like they caused the overhang but now cleared or nearly cleared.

[interceptor2] 17/2/2011 18:11

BT Pension have reduced their holdings by 500k since 27th January, with just todays buys at 200k and hardly any selling, I should think that overhang is being mopped up quickly.

[cockneyrebel] 17/2/2011 15:55

Look at that buying.

CR

[interceptor2] 17/2/2011 15:06

Agreed it looks undervalued when we know they are performing well, and the sector they operate in looks strong. One of these shares that will move very quickly, which could very likely be at results time on 2nd March imo.

[jbarker5555] 17/2/2011 12:31

Topped up here too ic2, look far too cheap to me :)

[interceptor2] 17/2/2011 08:53

Just re-read my last post and convinced myself to top up today @ 250p :-)

[interceptor2] 16/2/2011 19:18

FOUR price have increased 100% in the last year, but plenty more to go imo. We have had large increases in growth stocks in the first two years of this bull market, now I believe cyclical stocks like this will pick up the batten.

[nellie1973] 16/2/2011 17:24

New here, impressed by recent update and price!! Results should be good.

[chrisb1103] 16/2/2011 15:43

Added again today - has to be nailed on for next leg up to 300 surely.

[cockneyrebel] 16/2/2011 13:57

A lot of buys today got to clat on up soon imo, overhang seems to be pretty much shifted imo.

[kimball808] 11/2/2011 16:47

[cockneyrebel] 11/2/2011 16:42
