otherwise very solid good cost control which is what we need in current environment

Boad our divi maybe a T/O by NAV ;-)

IVT i think JLC mentioned this previously, interesting to see how first 3 months this year gone...

Verger - Underlying eps actually better than that figure which included amortisation of intangibles:-
"EPS adjusted for amortisation of intangible assets increased 25.1% to 44.57 cents per share (2008: 35.62 cents per share)"
The control of costs are particularly impressive.

However, there are some negatives.
First, the headline figures exclude the operating loss and termination cost of the disontinued operation.
Secondly, the figures for IVT are the poorest of the three divisions casting some doubt on the acquisition decision although synergies and cross-selling opportunities may outweigh this negative.
Finally, in my very brief scan I saw no mention of a dividend.

The fall in In Vitro Technologies revenues is a bit of a shocker, although they go onto say that they think they will recover

[verger] 24/6/2009 08:02

Pre-opening, share price down 1p, opening up 1p. Fair to say Market undecided. I wonder what NAV make of the results; will they be buying more?

[verger] 24/6/2009 07:15

Well, I like the results! EPS 41.88 cents. How does that compare with forecasts?

[dpeach] 23/6/2009 17:44

where from here then?, chart still looks good, results tomorrow.........

i think theres 30p to be made here quite quickly, i'm in for an initial £5k worth monday a.m. Shame about the dividend or lack of it thats seems to be the only negative.

Hopefully a rise from up-channel support.
If so then the recent trend is intact.

[dpeach] 15/6/2009 10:57

thanks CWA1 - and the dollar has noticeably strengthened (of late) from its recent low points vis a vis the £ while we await these (yes) long-awaited results...as you say, dpeach, exciting times, indeed....

[dpeach] 04/6/2009 18:37

Greetings all. Have we been given a date in June for the annual resuls?

[verger] 19/5/2009 12:31

Tight spread.

Jeremy Barnes brings with him a wealth of corporate finance experience, which will provide very valuable knowledge for our business - in the autumn ;-?

"Jeremy Barnes brings with him a wealth of corporate finance experience, which will provide very valuable knowledge for our business".

Presumably it helps to have a few heavyweight contacts when it comes to M&A activities and deciding what to do with all the cash that they expect to generate. He might also help in getting board to focus on getting reinvested profits to produce higher returns.

Yep.
Also 200p is quite a psychological barrier.
Reckon your 230p prediction looks highly attainable in the short term.

[dpeach] 12/5/2009 15:30

Flow, indeed, I think his target was 200p short term wasn't it?
