[value viper] 07/6/2014 07:18

Hmmm, agreed; hugely illiquid share of course but a definitive move nonetheless.
Tasty morsel potential this for an overseas buyer wanting a niche European exposure ? NRI

[gurjit] 07/6/2014 07:11

That tip was 11/04/14 I believe. Why the move now?

[beazer2] 06/6/2014 12:50

Very strong recommendation in the Daily Telegraph

[osteomike] 06/6/2014 09:35

Big rise again today? Any reason?

[bingowing] 18/9/2013 11:42

haha, fair.

lines don't make a company i suppose.

They, do however increase the probability of you timing your entry correctly...


Sometimes.

[ryandj2222] 17/9/2013 09:33

I'm long on it, maybe up to 400. I just don't think all those lines have as much to do with the possible price rise as the changes inthe business!

[bingowing] 14/9/2013 13:19

Yep. Good observation. Do you have an opinion on this company?

[ryandj2222] 13/9/2013 18:47

Dramatic recovery since November, and the news today is liked. Could recover further.

[targatarga] 11/12/2012 16:15

would like to congratulate anyone who brought these on the results in november....

[deadly] 30/11/2012 10:07

Heavy fall on results but still optimistic:

6 months underlying earnings per share 8.2p v 9.7p

"Recent order growth trends have continued into October and November as our strategy of electronics specialisation and cross selling continues to drive profitable market share growth, and supports our expectation of sales growth in the second half compared to the first. As a result of the continued challenging economic environment the recovery is taking slightly longer than previously expected to feed through into our results. However, we remain confident that the Group will benefit from continued market share growth as well as any improvement in economic conditions.

The Group remains well positioned to take advantage of both organic growth and acquisition opportunities."

[deadly] 07/6/2012 11:24

"It is the Board's intention to maintain a progressive dividend policy wherever practical to do so, and as such the Board is recommending an increase to the final dividend of 7% to 5.5 pence per share, giving a full year dividend increase of 7% to 8 pence per share and with a cover of 2.5 times on an underlying basis. In total, the dividend has been increased by 14% over the last 2 years. Over the medium term, it is the Board's intention to maintain dividend coverage in the range of two to three times earnings."

Goes xd next Wednesday.

[valediction] 28/11/2011 17:30

Yeah that was the bad bit of news, but i considered it already priced in

[electronica] 28/11/2011 08:25

electronica

Results OK, but the full year "profits warning" will go down like a lead balloon ......

"reducing visibility and our growth expectations for the year"

[valediction] 28/11/2011 08:13

Good statement I thought, anyone else have any views ?
