Debt down. Former CEO should still be punished for arguably the worst deal in history with 3M. |

Very solid LTBH indeed! How many shares get a 9% rise on results nowadays? Attempted 3 yr. B/O. |
Indeed - and the promise of growth for some years from here. Even the exceptional adjustments don’t seem too unreasonable. Rather quickly it now looks undergeared - but the previous management didn’t have a great track record of acquisitions,so will be interested to learn more about what they will do with the cash. |
Cracking results! |
Another US DOD contract from last week
Looks promising for tomorrow |
Peel Hunt are pretty UK institutional centric and corporate advisory centric. Joint brokers are often appointed because they offer complementary skills/markets/clients. In this case there maybe a banking relationship with Barclays and/or management want to tap Barclays bigger representation into the US institutions. Or maybe they are working on something like an acquisition in the US |
Joint broker why 2 fairly simple format? I wonder |
interesting move up today after the gentle fall of recent weeks. Positive TU coming? |
Article in today's DT about Russia's use of chemical gas in Ukraine. It concludes: "Britain is uniquely placed to solve this problem for the Ukraine military, as it did for the Peshmerga. The UK is the largest and best manufacturer of respirators on the planet, serving the full needs of the US DoD, the UK MoD and most Nato countries. This non-lethal aid should be much easier and quicker to sanction than some of the lethal targeting permissions President Zelensky is requesting so urgently. There is no time to waste."
AVON calling. |
Name has change from 1st August. It's now Avon Technologies plc. |
Hopfully will stop the gentle fall in the share price |
Nice upgrade |
Rns, order and marginal upgrade |
