does'nt look good, big drop today continuing the downward trend..

Something brewing maybe?

[killieboy] 01/4/2008 10:50

Surely this must be a snip at this price - only thing holding us down is the US economy!! but with the recent injection from the Fed this should improve in Q3/Q4 methinks!

Dresdner Kleinwort said: 'We retain our 'buy' recommendation as we believe BBA has an attractive portfolio of growing and highly prized assets which are now attractively priced.'


not surprised given the pe ratio for 2008, these arew orth closer to 300p than 200p. Moving back north quickly now.

seems a buy bot has kicked in, maybe the bot realises these are a bit cheap...

[killieboy] 28/2/2008 13:43

£/$ could hold us down.

[dontyo] 28/2/2008 12:57

look a steal these given revised figs for next year.

sorry about that, think i pressed the button too many times.

[denpot] 22/1/2008 17:16

Killieboy - results Feb 28th...

[killieboy] 22/1/2008 10:48

Any idea when results are due?

[killieboy] 19/1/2008 12:32

Maybe the are just not making any money due to the slowdown in the US but let us hope I am wrong.

[denpot] 17/1/2008 17:43

These must be a target at this price surely? un-less something big is happening behind the scenes with regards to BBA buying something else and taking on a lot of debt to do it?? any ideas..Dollar is getting stronger which should help..

[killieboy] 16/11/2007 12:11

This co is reliant on US$ earnings therefore will not be going anywhere until that settles down - in my opinion?

[eastbourne1982] 15/11/2007 15:14

Just gone long at £2.185p,

fundamentally a steal at these prices, at some point this must surely be a takeover candidate

[thamestrader] 09/11/2007 08:35

Quite like the look of today's news, so have topped up.

[killieboy] 28/9/2007 11:03

Agree, the results were pretty good. I would suggest that it is the £/$ rate that is stagnating the share price as a good % of their earnings come from across the pond.

[eastbourne1982] 27/9/2007 12:01

These look very attractive, currently sitting at around £2.27p, recent results were excellent so the recent share price fall is bemusing

[johnsoho] 30/8/2007 18:09

Looks like a very nice set of H1 results to me....and the Group Chief executive has at last purchased some shares in this company....

The Company has received notification today that Simon Pryce, Group Chief
Executive, acquired 45,000 BBA Aviation plc ordinary 29 16/21 pence shares at
236.3159p per share on 30 August 2007. Mr Pryce's total beneficial holding
following this notification is 45,000 shares.

Finally lost patience with these and sold. They are in a booming market (private jets & small airport services) but struggle to produce consistent earnings growth. They always seem to be adding and dropping bits of the company, which worries me. A highish p/e, only average yield, and the prospect of further US$ weakness don't help. Goodbye & good luck.

Sold Oxford airport but, likewise, no share price reaction.

LONDON (Thomson Financial) - BBA Aviation PLC said it has completed the sale
of Oxford Aviation Services Ltd to OA Acquisitions for a debt-free, cash-free
consideration of 40 mln stg.
Oxford Airport has been owned and operated by BBA since March 2000. In the
year ended 31 December 2006, the airport had a turnover of 4.5 mln stg and an
operating profit of 0.3 mln.
The sale will net BBA around 24 mln stg, which is expected to be tax-free.
BBA said the disposal represented a good deal for the company.
"The sale of Oxford Airport has been completed at an attractive price to BBA
Aviation and the disposal will be immediately earnings enhancing," said Simon
Pryce, BBA's chief executive in a statement.

quite a positive trading statement but no share price reaction. the businesses seem to be running well, but numbers will be affected by continued US$ weakness. I also noticed they expected progress in UNDERLYING results for the year - I hope that doesn't mean that they forsee any big exceptional charges. On the bright side, the numbers will benefit from a £20m gain on disposal.

This has been a disappointing share since the demerger but with business jets being a growth market I expect a US economic recovery and a stronger US$ to send this up fast. How long we have to wait for that is another matter...
