Andrews Sykes Share Discussion Threads

Interesting recent blog/case study about emergency heating requirement for aircraft hangar heating owned by major Aircraft maintenance Company near Norwich. Client not named by Sykes but I guess that this is almost certainly highly-regarded KLM UK Engineering Ltd. at Norwich Airport. If my guess is correct, it highlights some of the top-notch customers which are prepared to entrust important emergency requirements to Sykes. ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

1. "UNSURPRISINGLY, IT HAS BEEN A PARTICULARLY BUSY TIME FOR SYKES PUMPS..." see their blog below dated yesterday, 15th hXXps://www.andrews-sykes.com/blog/ a lot of interesting detail. 2. note also the second blog entry which mentions seasonal heating requirements for temporary retail storage . all imo. dyor. qp

re 2267 - Sykes do have depots in nearby Milan and Bologna which are not far from Venice

[volsung] 15/11/2019 14:23

Is this share anything to do with the late Eric?

[thorpematt] 15/11/2019 13:44

Venice gonna needs some pumps I think!

[quepassa] 15/11/2019 13:27

pretty certain that I have caught sight of Sykes' hallmark big blue pumps on the tv news coverage of the south yorks floods all imo. dyor. qp

Afraid I got out at 750p as there was no real likelihood of beating last years results even with these floods and colder weather. Will have another go if the winter is bad or if we get another scorcher next year but the 2018 results are going to be hard to beat. Good luck in the meantime, they are a pretty safe bet and the dividend looks secure, you never know they may get taken over at £8 or £9.

Funny old world ..... The only time this bulletin board is normally lively is at times of extreme weather events...like the floods besetting mid-England at the moment. ...but this time the silence is deafening and the handful of long-standing regular, stalwart contributors are silent...... ..i wonder why......but i think i know....... all imo. dyor. qp

sorry for the people affected by the floods but I guess Sykes are in demand. anyone know?

[quepassa] 27/9/2019 13:50

They are just trying to shake out weak holders.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 27/9/2019 13:49

Meh one of the downsides of the poor liquidity I suppose.

[thorpematt] 27/9/2019 13:44

Not much of a dip to buy into. MMs have marked the bid price to 520 giving a large spread. Not much on offer without paying £6.

[crossing_the_rubicon] 27/9/2019 10:36

Anyone buying on the dip? Have been looking to get in for ages as this is a well run company. Short term blip?

[soundbuy] 27/9/2019 07:51

Puts pay to the assumption that weather 'extremes' would be a win win.........

[shauney2] 27/9/2019 07:02

At least the cash figure has grown.

[cwa1] 27/9/2019 06:56

I'm not sure the market will be as sanguine. Doesn't mean it will be a rational response of course...

[quepassa] 27/9/2019 06:50

not all bad. looks like a bump in the normal trading road due to a warmer winter, rather than anything fundamental. necessary accounting standard changes have had an impact. outlook pretty buoyant with good start to Q3 highlighted and continuing investment in business with new depot openings. AND importantly half-year dividend maintained - which should bode well for full-year divi also being maintained. ALL IMO. DYOR. QP

[soundbuy] 27/9/2019 06:37

Plus they couldn't figure out how to do percentages for the financial summary .......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[zangdook] 27/9/2019 06:29

meaning that there was less opportunities I'm not sure the bad English isn't more painful to see than the reduced profit.

[ignoble] 31/8/2019 18:29

Must admit that at times, I wondered why they were not put under the same umbrella.

[quepassa] 30/8/2019 14:44

interesting.... Do you see any possibility that London Security are going to go for Andrews Sykes or vice-versa given the links, shareholdings and management cross-overs? Both shares up circa 20% since early summer against a generally awful and back-pedalling AIM market. Certainly the geographic footprint has many elements in common and combining a fire protection company with a "water/climate" control company would not be without a certain compelling logic??? pure speculation on my behalf but............. all imo.dyor. qp

[ignoble] 30/8/2019 12:26

Just read that The Murray's have also transferred nearly 10million shares of their other UK listed company , London Security to HSBC. DYOR etc.

[shauney2] 29/8/2019 14:32

GCA Altium have been nominated adviser to ASY for many years.

[quepassa] 29/8/2019 11:55

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE RNS CONCERNING THE EOI SYKES SARL TRANSFER TO HSBC NOMINEES DETAILS THAT THE NOMINATED ADVISER IS GCA ALTIUM - THE HIGHLY REGARDED GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANK SPECIALISING IN STRATEGIC M&A and related fields Their website address is www.gcaaltium.com ALL IMO. DYOR. QP
