Great results but mostly expected (the market is a fickle monster) and a great rise.

I am keeping my eye on the debt, personally I would much prefer some of that to be paid down rather than another(what may become an expensive) buy back.

From a brokers market summary:
"In individual company news, equipment rental firm Ashtead rallied to the top of the FTSE 100 as it posted a 20% jump in full-year pre-tax profit, thanks in part to a strong performance in North America."

FTSE 100 - Risers

Ashtead Group (AHT) 2,081.00p 6.09%
Antofagasta (ANTO) 900.80p 4.74%
Smith (DS) (SMDS) 345.20p 3.91%
Tesco (TSCO) 235.50p 3.74%
Glencore (GLEN) 278.00p 2.96%
Standard Chartered (STAN) 709.60p 2.96%
Schroders (SDR) 3,036.00p 2.95%
Pearson (PSON) 830.00p 2.70%
Anglo American (AAL) 2,166.50p 2.68%
NMC Health (NMC) 2,381.00p 2.67%

It seems the results were well received, a perfect end to a perfect Ashtead day!

Good afternoon bracke,

Yes, I was trying to be subtle as so many aliens seem to be visiting the thread!

Glad to know you kept your powder dry, on, to my mind, an extraordinary day.

AHT certainly didn't follow the form book we have so often seen on results day, early rise and subsequent fall-off. Volume of <> 2.9mil was impressive as well.

Interested to see how the contextual issues play out and impact the market as a whole, so interesting times..

Memo to oneself: AHT never does what you think so do the opposite!.Oh well, cash from sale yesterday will go into ISA and then what to buy?, mmm.

Good day ian

"Just wondering how EG's short is going, 100p+, he must have got one on?"
===========================================================================

If the above refers to me no need to wonder. I have no short.

The market is in full flow to the upside with the Mr Draghi suggesting more stimulus, the prospect of FED rate cut and Mr Trump meeting Mr Xi hopefully to reach tariff agreement.

Interesting to note Mr Trump's ire at Euro/Dollar fall which he says benefits EU trade to the detriment of US trade.......time to increase tariffs on those pesky Europeans.

Thanks glawslain, an interesting read.

AHT results also attracted favourable mention on the Ian King section of the lunchtime Sky News broadcast. (He interviewed Geoff Drabble not so long ago).

Thank for the link DD I'll take a look.

The 'mar bar' prize had been used in similar competitions in the past, but the idea was originally filched from another thread. The last winner here I believe was JimiHendrix, who declined to accept it...

Edit: JimiHendrix was the nom de guerre of a well respected one time poster on the AHT thread

Just got in to find AHT has done it again, a superb set of results.

Congratulations to bracke and DD on their winning dividend forecasts, and to runner up fenners for a good try.

As for prizes that is it, acclaim from your fellow posters. I think the 'mars bar to share with the film star of your choice' prize was from an earlier competition, sorry you wil have to find your own mars bars :-)

As an aside, having won twice, bracke must be knocking on the door of the Ashtead Hall of Fame, if he manages three wins in succession?

Price action suggests the market thinks the results are ok but nothing special. Buyers have taken the share price above 2000 as expected but can they keep it there?

another set of amazing results,

well done Team AHT -

not been keeping tabs on Ashtead for a while, Asif is still working mega hard for A Plant and all is well.

Is Geoff Dabble still involved or has he retired - I know hos retirement was soon, as a couple of my friends were invited to the dinner.

hope you are all well and making money
