At today's AGM all the resolutions were passed:



Unfortunately no Investor Meet for interested investors as so many other PLCs are doing.

And still no update note from WH Ireland since....a very long time.

[rivaldo] 19/11/2021 08:31

Good to see Hybridan Research highlighting the acquisition in its Small Cap round-up - even they're doing more than WH Ireland are doing:

[bookbroker] 18/11/2021 10:25

Does it matter, I am sure CSSG know what they are doing, focus on the important issues like the fact it is not before time they broke new ground away from the south coast.

[theglade] 18/11/2021 09:45

so what exactly is the name of the company they acquired?

it is not:

Hopefully WH Ireland will pull their fingers out and finally issue an updated research note. Perhaps even one with some figures in it (unlike many of their other updates).

Nothing after the results, and nothing yet after today's earnings-enhancing acquisition. I would have expected one to be ready to go first thing this morning after the news.

[theglade] 18/11/2021 08:35

they got the name wrong on the RNS

is pleased to announce the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Safeguard Ltd ("Safeguard")

[nw1234] 18/11/2021 08:06

Safeguard (N/W) Ltd

[rivaldo] 18/11/2021 08:04

That's a glazing company in Staffordshire :o))

There are loads of companies called Safeguard. Might be a good idea to go with the RNS which would be verified by solicitors, accountants etc etc.

[theglade] 18/11/2021 07:56

shome mishtake shureley

SafeGuard Ltd

[rivaldo] 18/11/2021 07:18

A bargain bolt-on acquisition today....

CSSG have paid a maximum £0.61m consideration for a complementary business making £100k EBITDA and bringing with it £100k cash and a £350k freehold property. You can't ask for much better value than that.

Based in the extremely affluent Cheshire area, so no wonder CSSG are confident they can increase its earnings further, and likely quite significantly:

[daisymax1] 16/11/2021 17:21

So no shares traded today and the mm's start the day by dropping the price 1.5p?
What's going on?

[rivaldo] 15/11/2021 12:42

Rising again, despite the ex-div last week for the 2p dividend - and with the spread down to a notably small 3p.

[bookbroker] 09/11/2021 17:11

Ex-div. tomorrow likely reason!

[rivaldo] 09/11/2021 16:06

Good to see the share price continuing to edge up to more new recent highs.

[rivaldo] 08/11/2021 12:38

RNS - looks like Miton UK MicroCap Trust plc have been buying keenly as they weren't a major shareholder before. They now have 5.87%, or 875,000 shares:

[rivaldo] 01/11/2021 15:40

New highs now - moved up again after just a £1,500 buy, likely indicating there's not much stock around.

[rivaldo] 01/11/2021 08:45

Cheers EC. So you now own almost 2% of CSSG - I really hope it works out for you as we hope it will.

Your forecasts of 9.69p EPS to next June and then 10.85p EPS make your 131p target perfectly feasible. Especially with over 40% and rising of the m/cap backed up by the £5.4m cash pile.

I'm still hopeful for an acquisition or two from cash to really turbo boost those earnings and lift our sights to anywhere from 150p-200p.

[effortless cool] 31/10/2021 10:24

Header updated. My new valuation is 131.8p.

[rivaldo] 28/10/2021 14:10

RNS - seems like just a notification of Canaccord's 6% holding simply changing hands due to their merger with Adam & Company Investment Management. Not sure why the resultant holding is shown as zero, unless we get a second RNS showing it's now in the name of Adam & Co:

[rivaldo] 27/10/2021 06:45
