The steady and reliable growth prospects, low PE ratio, cash in the bank and takeover possibilities make these a buy not a hold or sell, worrier.

[worrier] 26/5/2005 17:23

Results seem okay and a nice uplift on the Divi

any thoughts from those who analyse Comino in depth ?
not sure if I should hold or sell now

[johnv] 11/4/2005 20:51

No mention in techinvest... but looking back it was mentioned in shares mag in nov in a article on goverment it spending. Given a strong buy then @ 211p.. Dicom & idox had buy ratings

[welsheagle] 11/4/2005 19:37

Results not far off might be the reason.

[worrier] 11/4/2005 19:18

A Techinvest mention again has stirred interest?

This was a nap tip I believe. Not sure

[madmick] 11/4/2005 11:32

Anyone know why this has started to jump up over the last couple of days?
Think there must be some story going around.

[welsheagle] 02/4/2005 18:59

I noticed Pippin! May be another bid is on the way though the company's fundamentals alone should move the price north!! ;-)

[pippin] 09/12/2004 09:32

No-one else noticing?

A bit of life in this stock today!

Profit up 42% with a profit margin of 80%. This company is going to do well for shareholders by remaining independent.

LONDON (AFX) - Comino Group PLC, a provider of service delivery solutions
for Local Government, Social Housing and Occupational Pensions, said discussions
it had been carrying out after receiving a possible bid approach in September
have now been terminated.
The company also revealed its first half results today which showed an
increase in underlying profits and a rise in the interim dividend to 2.5 pence
from 2.2 pence a year earlier.
In his chairman's report, David Quysner said the outlook is encouraging. He
said Local Government market continues to provide opportunities for growth and
Social Housing is benefiting from a new approach that emphasises the service
delivery aspects of the product.
"Comino remains well placed to take advantage of these major opportunities."
The profit before tax, goodwill and exceptionals in the first half was up 42
pct to 1.14 mln stg from 804,000 stg on turnover up 8 pct to 12.2 mln stg from
11.3 mln.
Pretax profit after goodwill and exceptional items was 560,000 stg, down
from 603,000 stg.
The exceptional item of 407,000 stg represented the net cost to the company
of litigation which is now fully resolved.
Gross profit margin maintained at 80 pct.

I have sold my small holding for a little profit as these sell drip trades may force it down to 200p when I would buy again.

[crossgate] 27/10/2004 13:41

any day now?

[johnroger] 26/10/2004 17:15

Must be some announcement at or before results.

"Comino Group plc, the provider of software based business solutions for local
government, social housing and occupational pensions administration, will
announce its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 September 2004 on
Tuesday 9 November 2004."

[crossgate] 26/10/2004 11:03
