Threatening to break out of recent trading range.

Deutsche Bank increased to more than 8% last week after cutting its recommendation four weeks ago. Hmm.

Looks like a screwed up just having sold on the dip. I was expecting Cable strength to cause a hiatus, but clearly not.

Questor: Aggreko is expensive, but this is why it's poised for growth

Telegraph24 January 2017

Ashtead, the FTSE 100 equipment rental specialist, has done this column a good turn, with a healthy 20pc-plus gain since its selection in early November, and it may now be worth investigating one of its rivals, Aggreko (Frankfurt: A1XFZR - news) .

Aggreko’s shares have markedly lagged those of Ashtead and although the former look more expensive, on 16 times earnings for 2017 to Ashtead’s 13.5, the FTSE 100 firm is operating at peak profitability whereas Aggreko, a member of the FTSE 250, has just suffered four straight annual drops in earnings. This is where the opportunity lies.

Around half of Aggreko’s business overlaps with that of Ashtead in the US equipment rental market, providing mid-sized power generators.

If President Trump gets America to invest in infrastructure projects this operation should benefit, although this opportunity is now fairly well understood.

The real secret to Aggreko could be the power solutions business, which may be about to reach a welcome turning point after a difficult couple of years.

This unit rents out large-scale power generators to meet any power shortages for governments and utilities. Capacity utilisation seems to be rising and once it hits the 70pc‑80pc range the profits can start to motor.

A strong schedule of major sporting events in 2018 provides a good range of potential contract wins. The stock could be poised for a comeback after a difficult 2016.

Questor says: Buy

& Trumps inaugeration could give this a boost

IC:

Aggreko (AGK) announced that it has extended several contracts in Argentina with the most significant being 174MW of fixed site contracts extended out to the end of 2017. Buy.

Cracking recovery chart - nothing on this board despite the clear change in direction. Very good illustration of not catching a falling knife but waiting for a bottom to form.

I'm all out for a 20% capital loss... Minus dividends.

[zcaprd7] 06/1/2017 15:37

DB selling now...

[zcaprd7] 04/1/2017 10:24

Hope so, this dog has fleas... Nice contract win, haven't seen one of them for while, usually news about no bids. Oil price is up, which was the previous excuse for weakness...

[3rd eye] 04/1/2017 08:52

AGK Aggreko, on the verge of a breakout. Target share price now 1000p.

[3rd eye] 04/1/2017 07:50

Nice contract win, lads.

[targatarga] 04/1/2017 07:06

Looks like we have momentum!

[zcaprd7] 23/12/2016 22:41

Probably a buy. DB above 9% now...

[zcaprd7] 19/12/2016 16:27

Big transaction today. Marked as a sell, but was it?

[zcaprd7] 15/12/2016 11:27

DB has it as a buy...

[targatarga] 15/12/2016 10:29

Lppks like the third eye may be right! well done..

[zcaprd7] 08/12/2016 10:16

Capital group are culprits. I wonder if they helped walk it down?
