Retail sales dire... interest rates higher for longer, etc etc... typical move down in share price in the face of tailwinds.

Its the 'sell on results' brigade...so one more assault on 150p yet to come!It can't be long now.gla.

Begbies Traynor Group plc announced HY results for the 6 months to 31st October this morning. The Group recorded strong H1 performance with double digit revenue and profit growth in both divisions. Overall growth in revenue was 12% and adjusted profit before tax 13%. Management announced an increase in interim dividend to 1.2p (2021: 1.1p), which builds on the 10% compound annual growth in the dividend since 2017. The balance sheet is strong with net debt of just £2.4m, after £7.4m of acquisition related payments in the six months and also significant levels of headroom within committed bank facilities. In short the Group is well placed to continue to invest in its successful organic and acquisitive growth strategy. Valuation is not particularly helpful and the share price is roughly flat over 18 months and lacks positive momentum. BEG is a solid and growing company, but it remains a share to monitor for now...

still falling today !

[jdh1602] 13/12/2022 10:37

But, if things go well into next year, a chart breakout could be on the cards - it looks like one 'is due'...if the next results merit it

[daneswooddynamo] 13/12/2022 10:10

Chart wise there is a lot of resistance around 150. It has made multiple assaults on that sort of level over the last 18 months

[this_is_me] 13/12/2022 09:27

Over the last 18 months or so there has been selling when the share price gets close to 150p.

[jeanesy] 13/12/2022 09:04

i think some were expecting even better results and an even more positive outlook.

[rob762243] 13/12/2022 08:47

Did not expect to be down 4% with those results...

Another strong half reflects the benefits of an increasingly diverse base of cyclical and counter-cyclical revenues, built progressively via a series of strategic acquisitions and organic investment. The double-digit revenue and profit growth delivered by both divisions in H1 puts the group on track to achieve full year forecasts. The detail reveals consistent growth derived both organically and from a series of acquisitions which have added to the breadth of professional expertise and BEG’s coverage of its key target markets.

We have held our full year forecasts and plan to review them when BEG reports its Q3 trading update in late February 2023. Our current estimates underpin a retained 175p/share fair value, with upside potential if UK insolvencies, particularly administrations, continue to gather momentum, and the group secures further acquisitions which continue to build expertise and capacity. We have reflected on BEG’s rating vs the broader market and its intrinsic value vs its peers in this note.

Results good decent enough, across the board. Plenty left in the tank with the admins >30% below pre pandemic levels... banks still not pulling the trigger by the looks of it. Normally post xmas is when consumer facing businesses pull the plug, after receiving customer cash but before paying suppliers re xmas trading.

K3C bid at 3.50 per share ..... surprised these didn't rise more late pm as similar business model .

[2bluelynn] 05/12/2022 08:47

Loads of 10k buys hitting the book at 149.80

[adipsia1] 02/12/2022 12:03

Interesting to see BEG approaching 148p resistance level again. Given that K3C broke out yesterday and FRP is also trending, it looks probable that BEG will break through soon.

[steadyaway1] 30/11/2022 14:55

Always seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place on wider market / economic bad news!

[rimau1] 30/11/2022 12:30

This stock moves in mysterious ways, one to tuck away.

[hubs] 29/11/2022 19:14

And one day, probably for no apparent or immediate reason, BEG will push through 150 like a knife through butter...and then everything becomes support! Gla.

[steadyaway1] 29/11/2022 14:59

Who knows. They've picked up some decent work recently like the British Volt subsid and the Ping Pong bar chain... will be loads of leisure in the pipeline.

[2bluelynn] 29/11/2022 14:10

Lovely rise hope it hold no it's broken £140

[2bluelynn] 24/11/2022 12:55

Interesting what Hilsden trading say about Santa rally and next year . Should be good for K3c and Beg trainers They say Will we see a Santa Rally? Some of the notes from the big firms are suggesting not, but the bulls are hanging in there so far. Next leg up to properly start later in December most likely. Next year though could be more pessimistic and I expect a lot more companies to shut up shop as they drown under their over leveraged debt piles. Just recently in the headlines we have made.com, Joules, Boden looking dicey, and probably a whole host of other middle class shops as the squeezed middle get squeezed once again.

[maddogbeast] 17/11/2022 10:27

Probably just traders that were hoping for a larger uplift in the numbers for a quick win.

I like the consistent and steady improvement in the numbers, much better than the boom and bust of 2008/9. This time I suspect it will be consistent growth over several years, especially as the Government have already done their 'saving' of businesses with Covid relief loans, legislation changes, etc.

The share price should be much higher imo, but as a long term hold and shrewd growth decisions being made by the company, I'm more than happy putting this away for the next few years at least and watching the share price rise gradually.

[2bluelynn] 17/11/2022 10:00

Wonder why it hasn't bizarre

[edmonda] 17/11/2022 07:53

Agreed - a confident update on H1 trading with revs seen 12% higher and PBT up 13% to £9m.
Equity Development still regard the group as very well placed against a difficult economic backdrop, retain FY forecasts and their 175p/share Fair Value.
