Coca-cola Hbc Share Discussion Threads

The company is somewhat reticent concerning business updates Sparky, even before the finals estimates (from people here) ranged from 2p to 5p earnings per share. There appears to be no concensus. I would suggest if anyone can make an estimate, Scrutable is your man.

Not long until 7-8th Sept and i expect yet again stunning results

what is the concenus on Turnover and profit ?

[soggy] 10/8/2007 20:04

Here here! In due time, this should be a stunning star. But the question is, as always, how long is that time. I'm happy to hold for the long term because out of all the shares around this seems to be one of those with such incredibly limited downside and unlimited upside!

Any waverers out there, just jump in. (no advice, DYOR etc etc)

Selling a quantity has always been difficult....which is of defensive help in this critical time, but buying is probably easier than it looks. The HQ in Duesseldorf holds shares I believe which they can release to the market if there is proven demand. It would not make sense to put out a load for PIs to buy in excess of demand. That would quickly puncture the price, but anyone wanting to take up a reasonable long term holding should tell their broker to try the company for release of stock.

This company has proven that it can raise large funds quickly to finance new contracts, and therefore has no major constraint to growth beyond the ability of executives to close deals to finance international trade which is growing all the time. Poor liquidity and wide spreads should scare off short term punters and traders, but it remains IMO a smashing long term multi bagger, based on real performance.

Ouch - seller over on Plus just unloaded at 48p - must have been desperate to sell at 2p below the spread. Looks easier to buy at the moment.

Yes, I wonder about things like that...I guess it's just wherever they can get someone to deal, and if nobody was dealing on AIM, they look at PLUS. But I don't actually know how it works...are there different market makers for PLUS? Are there ANY MMs on PLUS???

What I also find weird is how the prices keep in tandem. Yesterday the PLUS spread was much wider - offer at 64, which made it look like there had been a 3p rise. But there hadn't really, it was just the mid price moving up because of that very high offer. Meanwhile, on AIM, the spread was the same. So, who knows what the price actually was! I think they got back in step eventually.

wonder why they show on Plus when i bought through TD waterhouse ?

[rampmeister] 09/8/2007 08:11

Thanks Soggy - I had temporarily overlooked dual listing.

RM

[soggy] 08/8/2007 21:28

They're showing on the PLUS market, along with another 1K

[rampmeister] 08/8/2007 21:13

No sign of your trades on the list Sparky nor my small 2k top up at the same price!

RM

[sparky333] 08/8/2007 11:01

I have just picked up 10k and 7K @ 57.25

Bargin if you you ask me

[wrtmf] 03/8/2007 13:24

this could easily 4 bag from december onwards
(i hold a few)

[moormoney] 03/8/2007 11:39

Mine too! I'm hoping when this turns into a mega cap we won't have any problems trading-I'm happy holding but don't like being tied in and unable to trade. sorry o/t but congratulations scrutable on another winner from the lemming stable in vyke storming up today---I'm kicking myself I didn't free up some funds is it too late?

[soggy] 03/8/2007 11:02

I suspec you're right Scruts, however, the important question is whether anyone will be able to join in the party and actually buy shares - well, in sufficient quantites to enable the MMs to make a market, and for the share price to therefore reflect the amazing business this appears to be.

So,I'm holding - even at a bit of a loss just now - because sooner or later, somehow, this has got to move up to reflect the business. Well, that's my hope.

[scrutable] 03/8/2007 10:54

there is bound to be a very high multiple of revenue and profit in the interims in a few week's time. That follows without much imagination from the FY results. IThe results are therefore likely to look good anyway without anything new happening

[soggy] 28/7/2007 23:18

Glad to be a fully paid up member of the "I'm a believer" club! Boy, it sure takes a lot of faith to believe in the blessings to be bestowed upon the faithful who endure this time of tribulation!

[moormoney] 28/7/2007 18:53

soggy I'm in the same boat and sitting on a holding that's difficult to sell but still thankfully in profit, I'm being patient with this one because I think it will grow and grow so I sleep soundly. sooner or later the Nil brothers will have to sort out the liquidity as they have mentioned the problems---unfortunately releasing a miniscule amount of extra shares and floating on plus has proved no solution---I hope the pressure is still on them and eventually I can claim some reward!

[soggy] 28/7/2007 17:57

Well, I hope your wish comes true. I bought in on the last spike - the numbers are good, and the story is good. But the market is so illiquid that it's hard to trade at all. I suspect that if there were plenty of shares around to change hands this would not have fallen back so far.

I was tempted to bail out as soon as it started to retrace, but found I couldn't really get out without taking a big hit. (I bought in at 86p) However, I'm reasonable content to sit on them because I beleive they will continue to grow fantastically. The problem is just how a market can be created to allow the success to be shared around!

Surely, if they keep posting such great growth, surely at some point the dam has got to burst.

So just hang around Mr. Mullah and your wish may come true. Now, if only my wish could come true and I could regain the paper loss and move on up.

It looks from the chart that we're about at the support level it's reached before.

[the mullah] 28/7/2007 17:30

Would love this to drop more so I can add.

[philjeans] 25/7/2007 14:57

More sales behind the scenes no doubt - weak times in the market generally.

Nothing wrong fundamentally with the company.

[tonyx] 25/7/2007 14:54

Down 9.5% on a 500 sell??

[moormoney] 17/7/2007 20:24

cheers scrutable.

[scrutable] 17/7/2007 15:28

moormoney

without further newsflow, their FY results make it clear that the September interims will also be stellar Y-on-Y. After that, expansion at such a hot pace will have to be signposted by new contracts.

Nevertheless Shariah compliant, they can call up as much capital as they need to finance new business from the oil wealth in the Gulf and are thus financially uninhibited in taking on new business. IMO they have a long way to go.
