I think that for various reasons buyers seem to prefer the SVR story. SVR also seem much more active in promoting the company.The ceo of BILN should ask his broker to set up meetings to see some potential fund managers who might find this an attractive investment -and it certainly seems to be doing well-in fact as well as Severfield.
As to why SVR is preferred it might relate to liquidity.

At 240.0p, the p/e is just 9.5 and with the chairman confident on this year's prospects (see below) what's not to like:

'Prospects,

2016 was a particularly successful year for the Group and it is anticipated that we will see similar levels of productivity in 2017. The current order books across the Group are robust with work secured through to the latter part of the year. There has been some improvement in margins during 2016, aided by operational efficiencies, and although margins remain competitive it is hoped that there will be further improvements in 2017. The Group will also be able to further consolidate and expand operations in the second half of the year as the additional facilities at Shafton become available.

Hi Anschluss
I think you've timed your arrival perfectly, on many measures BILN is bizarrely cheap yet trading v well, that will create a revaluation any time now imho
Cheers ..from a fellow sufferer/holder

Just climbed aboard having watched and deliberated for a long, long time. What finally clinched it was the continuing activity at BILN's 'Easy-Edge' depot a couple of miles from where I live, they've appeared to have been very busy for months ..... I pass by at least twice each week.

Mind you, the prospect of that 10p divi due in a couple of months might have helped!

Sounds like an investment mandate has been transferred from Henderson to Lombard. That mandate included a holding in BILN.

Transfer by Henderson to Lombard Odier of 1 million shares or 7%. Not sure what that means in reality??

Positive update from Severfield today

I liked this from their outlook statement "the UK business is well-placed to deliver further growth towards our objective of doubling profits by 2020"

Read through to BILN hopefully

Agreed on all counts. There is no reason way we can't push up towards £3 next week.

Yes except it should have been nearer 300p given the very positive outlook in the results. (Thanks Mr Gordon!)

We will get there eventually I suppose - my current target is 350p but that is likely to get revised upwards once Shafton output ramps up

I'm hoping they start to look into Europe given the current fx rate advantage

Yes. I think we will see a steady rise from here. You could add 50% to the share price and they still wouldn't look expensive.

Noticed small buys going through at full price so thought I'd do some dummy trades.

No stock available to buy online, not even 10 shares.

Plenty available to sell.

Bodes well.

Battlebus - I guess if you have a large historical position in a cyclical small cap, in which I imagine he is not involved, you start cutting your position before the top of the cycle is in evidence rather than take the risk of missing the boat and seeing market size dwindle to 500 shares if you are lucky.

Guys,

He has as much right to sell as we do. Clumsy yes but maybe he needs the money and he has restriction when he can sell them. It offers a chance to buy what I believe is an undervalued company.

As I understand it.

John Stuart Gordon became a non exec director in 2007 when his Dad Stuart Nicholson Gordon retired as Director/Chairman.

His Dad presumably had the shares in a "trust" and these have been transferred to his Son John. So John has never had to buy them. Presumably his directorship at BILN was as a result of his Dads position and the volume of shares he then owned.

There could be a plethora of reasons why he may wish to dispose of the shares, tax bill on the trust, divorce, new car, house, etc..... we just don't know.

Or pessimisticly it could be as a trained & practicing construction lawyer he is seeing something looming within the business that he doesn't like the look of.

As I keep saying a Company statement soon on the matter would be helpful.

Just checked and the 25k I bought at 2.40 still not reported, which seems strange. Just checked my ISA and they are there!
Edit - just reading the posts above it is good to see many well respected posted sharing my belief that these are currently well under valued.
After yesterdays results I fully expected us to be testing £3 this week. Hey ho.

jonwig has not posted here for years so it's time that the shareholder information was updated.

Current major shareholders
Gutenga Investments PCC Limited 6,451,318. 49.9%
Ocorian Trustees (Jersey) Limited 928,119. 7.17%
Tarom Foundation 1,445,000. 11.2%
Henderson Global Investors 1,072,900. 8.29%
Charles Stanley 662,150. 5.11%
Total shares issued: 12,934,327
The percentage of securities not in public hands is 68.22% (8,824,437 shares).

Tempus obviously likes the look of BILN too !
"Billington Holdings is a small Aim stock with big ambitions. It makes structural steel for industrial and commercial properties. The 2016 revenues were up almost 12% and pre-tax profits almost 23%; Billington is running at full capacity and has perhaps 70% of this year’s order book in the bag. The dividend is up by two thirds to reward investors who stuck with it and at the end of 2015 the company placed a large bet on the markets by buying an extra facility near its Barnsley base."

Battlebus - in my experience management are usually the worst people to rely on spotting/reporting cyclical turns downwards. If you were in their position would you be warning about possible cyclical difficulties ahead? After all they are paid to be optimistic. I reckon 90% would keep schtum. Spooky is probably not 100 miles from the truth. The exit here will be as tight as a ducks proverbial when the time comes.
