[investing2retire] 12/11/2020 09:49

i thought the trading update was quite positive with orders increasing. in 2 minds whether to top up or not

[glenowen] 09/10/2020 16:43

Followed, very quickly, by another purchase of nearly £200K - it wasn’t me!

[glenowen] 09/10/2020 16:38

Encouraging to see a large buy of over £100k, just before the closing bell today.I am hoping that, given the highly fragmented state of this particular industry, 4Imprint will be able to take up a lot of the slack left by smaller/weaker competitors, who might, unfortunately, be forced out of business by Covid-related pressures.

Could have been this?

"Peel Hunt upgrades 4imprint on share price fall

Peel Hunt has upgraded promotional product printer 4imprint (FOUR) after a share price fall opened up a ‘value gap’.

Analyst Malcolm Morgan upgraded his recommendation from ‘hold’ to ‘add’ with a target price of £22 on the shares, which were trading at £17.80 yesterday.

Morgan said market commentary ‘speaks of stabilised, but not materially improving conditions, which in a Covid-19 world is encouraging’.

‘History suggests market recovery can take several years,’ he said. ‘It also suggests that 4imprint outperforms the market recovery.’"

6% up today; any news?

[seangwhite] 29/9/2020 20:35

Looks like 1800p will be broken in the near term as CV 19 effects on this market sector is still going on..

[glenowen] 04/9/2020 18:18

Looks like I spoke too soon - solid recovery from yesterday's low. Maybe yesterday was just "market maker manipilation" to get the share price low?

[glenowen] 03/9/2020 11:32

Excellent prediction, Sean G. Wish I had taken more notice of it at the time!

[seangwhite] 13/8/2020 12:42

Profits down 99% and divi stopped and the share price is only down 6% so the market treated this well and many must be relieved. Can see the share price at sub 2000p shortly when the enormity of the downturn finally sinks in.

[dab26] 13/8/2020 09:57

And eight weeks later, that is starting to look like a well-timed trade.

[investing2retire] 16/6/2020 11:14

hmm. i sold this one too early at 2400. bought in at 1995. contemplating buying back in if price drops but looks unlikely now

[deadly] 16/6/2020 09:28

Market like the TU today; up 6% so far.

"As the partial or full lifting of these restrictions began in many US states in May and early June, weekly order counts have steadily increased and are now approaching 50% of the 2019 comparative. Importantly, we continue to acquire new customers and the new-to-existing customer ratio has remained broadly stable over this period."

[mickeyb] 03/6/2020 10:12

US opening up is good news, share price has been holding for a few days looks like the next step up is starting.

[jeffian] 30/4/2020 17:45

"At least quoted equities are highly liquid, unlike property, "

Don't I know it! I was a (commercial) property developer from 1984 through to Y2000. Despite the ERM debacle and extortionate interest rates, I did actually manage to make money, although several schemes that started out as 'developments' became 'investments'!

[deadly] 08/4/2020 19:24

Cloud cuckoo land??

Already at 2000 and well above today.

[jeffian] 20/3/2020 23:54

glenowen,

I'm not sure how I see anything coming out of the coronavirus crisis - pubs, FOUR, whatever - other than that it will. I started my investing life just before the oil-war crash of 1973/4 (and if anyone thinks this is bad, you ain't seen nothing!) and have been through many recessions. They all bounce back at some point. I suppose there is a difference this time in that a Government has never shut down the entire economy by decree and there must be companies that won't survive that, but on the whole I take the view that this is bargain-hunting territory.

Btw, I probably would have reinvested the lot like you - as I did with some of the proceeds of the other takeovers - but the EIG payment only appeared in my account on 17 March. Phew! Given the mayhem in the market, I had a fleeting fear it may not turn up.
