LONDON (ShareCast) - The electromechanical components provider is up 2.5p at 64.5p after it said that sales have increased 2% in the second half, despite flat markets, because it has won franchise extensions for several of its European operations. It said it anticipates a significant improvement in business performance in the next financial year because of increased market share.

See ACAL stakebuilding last week. Rumours Webb/Eaglet is talking with ACAL to offload their 24%.

Those ? trades @63P are buys, I know, one of them is mine ;)

[airrage] 15/10/2002 10:22

I bought back in. I haven't been in this since I started this thread Jul last year, made good money then. Even if no takeover, they are seriously positioned when economic recovery occurs.

If Webb is looking to offload then that will help ACAL considerably in any takeover.

this one whould fly.....who else is buying ??????? Strange because this one can move up very very fast...

70p plus to come or even £1 with takeover news..

[halfpenny] 15/10/2002 09:05

Acal looking to make an offer for Deltron whilst things are cheap?

On Citywire this morning there is a reference in a story headline to Peter Webb (Eaglet Investment Trust) reducing his holding in a distributor (but he is invested in more than one).Need to be a subscriber to read story.Can anyone help? Thanks.

Noticed did not move in yesterdays falling market. Similarly now on my radar screen.

[puku] 23/9/2002 18:23

a great recovery stock - when recovery starts! it is in industrials sector rather than consumer, margins have held up, turnover bottomed out ? Semiconductor Industry Assoc has hopes of resumption of growth by year end - anybody in the know on this? Any increase in turnover should feed straight thru to profits. watching very carefully at moment.

Tipped by FT this weekend. Anyone notice. Although it states PE at 9.4 compared to Acal at 10 and Abacus at 14. PE in fundamentals at 14+.

A week or so ago the company raised £1.5 million from their directors and staff instead of going to the City and paying huge fees.
Perhaps the staff who were not allowed to buy were buying today in the market.I believe this share to be undervalued and that the staff have invested their money wisely!!
Perhaps they know something.

Favourable comment on Citywire today :

"Citywire Verdict:

The company looks like it will offer a dividend yield of around 2.3%, and it is currently trading at a very reasonable 8.4 times next year’s earnings. One for anyone like Peter Webb, prepared to wait for a cyclical recovery."

EPS forecast of 9.7p and 14.5p next year for a pe of just 5.1 . Absurd according to SCSW, they recommend buying.

[ll] 07/1/2002 20:49

This looks good to me dont miss out

[obrienv] 12/12/2001 10:05

Looks set to make an assault on the £1 level. If it does go through a £1 what is the next resistance level?

[dan_bach] 28/10/2001 16:34

Tipped in today's Sunday Telegraph with talk of mysterious stake building...

Read for yourself :

[dan_bach] 24/10/2001 18:07

I'm out today on the back of this bounce - could be wrong. Up 10.5p lunch time on 49k traded. At a mid price of 73.5p, they are on a prospective P/E of 7 and there are better plays in this sector around at the moment, e.g. NAR, ELH. Also BLK looks interesting with a similar P/E, higher yield and better growth prospects.

Good luck to those holding.

[the big fella] 24/10/2001 09:35

Looks like a few people are getting back in at these levels. Looks a decent recovery play at todays valuation.

[george dalli] 14/10/2001 15:11

see how the price goes this week .might get back in.

[dan_bach] 03/10/2001 17:56

Profit warning :


"Pre-tax profits for the year ended 30th September 2001 are now expected to be
approximately £3.5m before exceptional items."

In the interim results :

profiits for the first six months were £2.3m with EPS of 6.3p.

Difficult to judge where the price should be but looks good value at around this price.

[airrage] 11/9/2001 10:53

keep an eye on this one. bounces quickly and sharply. PE way too low for electronics distributor, even with revised lower earnings eatimates.

[davidhel] 04/9/2001 09:47

The selling has been overdone I reckon - as always. There have been several stocks bouncing for no particular reason recently. Good.

[strudwick] 04/9/2001 08:14

anyone know what's caused this sudden rise today ?
