No idea but someone has just paid up £200+K for the stock which is quite a heavy trade ..... happy to hold this one, wish I'd bought more a few years back at £3. I guess they are just an illiquid stock.

Nice rise this morning. Must be some reason as not usually a stock that moves quickly. Any ideas?

still undervalued so still worth buying!

I like the results, and nice to see a price rise comin on such a horrible day for the markets. A hunch tells me it will be marked down tomorrow or in the next few days, in line with market falls. FWIW, I'll try to add to my holdings on any weakness.

good results

NO need to ramp - good results today

This thread has gone very quiet (which is a good sign of a lack of ramp in the price imo)

Results Monday.

Sorry to interrupt the party - I haven't brought any booze - but I have bought some shares. And well done to all those who've already benefitted from the climb over the 18 months - this looks a good investment even now to me. I am attracted also that the entire BB thread on this share can be read in three minutes and is rant-free.

Hi quantumx. The consensus forecast EPS growth rate for DPLM is 16.35% That's too cheap for a stock trading on 500/32.23=15.5 times 2003 Earnings.

The balance sheet is extremely solid, yield significant, strongly cash generative, it's end markets 'niche' enough to protect it in any slowdown but yet also expose dplm to the cyclical upturn.

What more do investors want?

[quantumx] 29/3/2004 13:45

My god! Another follower! Steady as she goes, hopefully EPS and dividends will be maintained.....

You are not alone!

Seems appropriate to update this thread. Not widely followed but a real performer in the last three years compared to the FTSE!

This share seems to have performed well in the current markets. Will it continue though?

After-hours announcement from Morley Fund Management (part of Aviva) regarding yesterday's share disposal is the third such in the past 3 weeks..

"..sales totalling 208,384 on 11 December 2002.."
"..sales totalling 200,000 on 2 December 2002.."
"..sales totalling 244,000 on 21 November 2002.."

They still hold quite a chunk, but this is a fairly sizeable reduction going on.
Morley, and Eaglet, appear to have been reducing their holdings throughout previous months too, albeit at a slower rate then.

Anyone see it as significant?

Edit Feb 2004: Well it maybe was significant - but in the opposite direction from my suspicions; Share price immediately set off on a one-year 70% climb!

Edit March 2005: Up fivefold in six years.
