I have been to visit both the Brownhills casting and machining plants and Wm Cook near Sheffield. Both sites have had a lot of cap ex over recent years and the new warehouse in Brownhills solves a logistical load/ unloading problem with the old unit behind the offices at the front of the site.
I am a long term holder having bought in when and then again after they fell out of the all share index in summer 2010, as did a number of Insto investors.
It is a cyclical and that is reflected in the rating, but it has lots of cash and there is nobody else in the UK who can cast the volumes they do in the iron alloys that they can.
Core holding that one day will be taken over but not until Brian Cook has retired!!

Hi Bluebelle,

Ok, I'll talk to you. Might be slightly off topic though!

I note from various boards that you're mostly keen on solid midcaps. I'm looking to build a portfolio for a family member, and am therefore planning to tuck away a few ISA eligible stocks in due course.

If you were starting with a pot of cash today, which of your stocks would you favour buying at current prices? I should point out that I'm a fairly experienced investor, so I understand that stocks can go down as well as up in the medium term. :-) However, my expertise and portfolio is generally in the small cap and Oil E&P field, so I'm trying to widen the net.

Cheers if you have time to give your thoughts.

The second half performance was outstanding - though we should have guessed it would be good after Brian's usually gloomy outlook interim statements. Either he is naturally pessimistic or he is having his fun.

The lack of detail is a pain, especially on gross margins given the leap in operating margins. It would also be interesting to know how much they spent on the new foundry in the year.

However, for the long-term it looks very good value with the cash, the increased capacity and, critically, its high reputation with it customers. Trouble is, it is too long-term for most investors.

Found this:

Well AliceinWonder(ment?) not quite in the middle of the night as I live in Brisbane, Australia - so its surprisingly easy to do those early morning posts - its like falling down a great big hole and every thing is upside down & back to front - things you can relate to I think? There will be a few Australian shareholders like me - as "Hunter Hall" - a local Oze mutual fund owns about 15% of Castings and is a great admirer of the MD! I personally do not think Castings is a great bargain at current levels - but if you want a no debt operation with a proven track record - with management of great integrity and knowledge of their trade you can look no further than Castings. Also on the books is Lupus Capital - a so called pro active investor - however none has been able to change the management style/approach of the MD. Most think there is a case for a share re-purchase scheme or some return of capital - however Brian Cooke from all accounts gets PLENTY advice on these matters and he ignores it all!!!

Being an Oze I know nothing about your alternate investment but one day someone will "raid" that Castings cash pile!
