Biffa Share Discussion Threads

My initial view is prospects looking quite a mixed bag for a PE still in the late teens. Looking back at the CEO's prelims statement:

'Following strong growth last year, we expect growth at more modest levels from
our Resource Recovery and Landfill division in the current year. We envisage
further growth in our national account Collection business and an improved
performance from our integrated municipal contract with Leicester City Council.
The local account sector of the Collection market is likely to remain highly
competitive. We have implemented a revised pricing strategy and customer service
initiatives in order to strengthen our position in this sector. The benefit of
these actions will take time to come through and as a result we anticipate that
full year performance in the Collection division will be in line with the prior
year. For the Group as a whole, we expect steady progress in the current year.

It doesn't seem surprising there has been a fall-out from the previous sense of a compelling growth share.

I agree with you that the bottom of this share is approaching. However, are you able to support your comments with any technical (Chartist) analysis?

The RSI has been oversold for the last 15p down and yet this share remains friendless!

I beleive that the price will soon bounce and recover at least 10% in a very short space of time, propably on the back of a positive trading statement. I'd like to get in now but I read with some interest that you believe that the share price will continue to flake away, even from these levels.

It would be interesting to read some sustance behind your comments, if only to see if they affirm my own thoughts.

It's because BIFFA are so hopeless at emptying my dustbin and collecting recycling.

I have yet again had to whinge to my local council amenity services to come and collect it. I have told them to fire BIFFA who are now being monitored.

Wish I had used my own experience of their diabolical service, to go short!

The fall today is only in line with the market generally, I suppose.

What's their beef about Biff?

[mart] 17/7/2007 10:07

Charles Stanley research team are not keen on BIFF.

[johne1] 17/7/2007 09:56

Are shorters to blame?

[clusium] 17/7/2007 09:42

There must be something behind all the disappointment. We've had directors' purchases and recommendations to hold or buy in the national press based on upcoming regulations, and yet it maintains its downward trend. We don't know anything that might be going amiss. Was it just overpriced in the first place, based on fanciful bid prospects?

I have bought more as I think it is basically very solid and I'm not short term.

[johne1] 16/7/2007 22:47

Fingers, toes - anything else?

[46pete] 16/7/2007 21:28

Everything crossed!

[watwungyi] 16/7/2007 19:10
