Interceptor thats some growth forecast for 2011 of 30%. If brokers are already revising their forecasts upwards before the AGM then it suggests that the Q1 results will at least be on target if not slightly ahead. Applying the same PE ratio that has been used over the last year on a rolling basis would suggest a share price target by the end of 2011 of 250p. That would certainly make these worth hanging onto for the ride.

Have just come across the latest forecast (new coverage) dated 8th January from Collin Stewart who rate EDD as a buy. The figures are very bullish, about 20% higher than other brokers, I can't find the analyst notes to go with it, but I bet it makes interesting reading.

2010 EPS = 14.9p
2011 EPS = 19.4p

Also just came across a great site for a list of known company announcement date for the next 4 weeks, very useful, see link below.

EDD AGM date 21st January......

There was an interesting update from a company I hold called Westminster (WSG) regarding a division called Longmoor Security. They run training courses mainly for ex police and military personal in personal security protection. The update is extremely bullish and worth reading, I know the comparison to EDD is very different, but I believe it shows how buoyant this sector still is.

EDD trading statement due very soon now..........

Interesting. Lets see how many follow his lead? He might just be profit taking with a view to buying some more back cheaper or he could be taking his money elsewhere. Who knows. Personally I still think your price target of 200p is achievable but earnings will have to grow to 15.4p so it might take EDD a few months to achieve.

Rereading his article published in Investors Chronicle last March

"My own buying, resulting in a current holding of 3.7 per cent, has contributed to the share price having a great run during the past couple of months. And after the announcement of increased profit expectations, there was further buying by directors, who added to their already significant shareholdings.
The tax charge has to be considered as there are just £4.3m of tax losses to be used in 2009 – and they will run out in 2010. Another factor is that the rate of growth will slow from the astonishing 65 per cent, but it still looks as if it should be substantial, especially in relation to the low PE ratio. I find it hard to understand why a company such as EDD in a business so well suited to today's difficult conditions, growing very fast and generating plenty of cash, should be on such a low prospective multiple."

Whilst the companys rate of growth is expected to slow to a more sedate 20-25% the next phase of investment will create plenty of extra capacity.

His support has helped the company build its market capital from £14m to £80m so it may be that some of the institutions will start buying some of this stock now. Nigel certainly gets out and about and by all accounts gets a favourable reception from potentail funders willing to invest.

I suspect that JS is being a bit canny in the short term but long term holding.

Edit: He may have used to money to go back into Vialogy as it has gone up 50% in the last day or two and was one of his shares.

Unlikely with trading update due, more likely to buy, and EDD is still a very strong Zulu stock. Jim Slater advises selling when the PEG has risen to 1.2, even after EDDs rise to 158p the PEGs are only 0.73 and 0.64 respectfully.

Interesting share sales this morning, between 11:08 and 11:26 a total of 3.24m shares were sold between 150p and 150.8p which was below the spread.

My guess is that this is a pre-arranged sale to a willing buyer, because the price stayed rock solid at 158p. It is possible that Wynford Dore has been reducing again, an Rns will be released soon and it will be interesting to see who is on the other side.

Hopefully a quality company like Octopus Investments.........

TDW are showing 6th Jan Wednesday as ex dividend date. At 1.2p it shouldn't have much effect on the price.

Company will be announcing Q1 results at AGM. Previously they have announced acquisitions just before AGM or it could just be that 'things are going according to plan'

Very significant breakout with buy orders being filled @ 161p, I dont know what is behind this, could be a large buyer or even a major write up/tip for the new year.

Whatever it is, it's a great end to a fantastic year for EDD holders.

Happy new year..............

Yeah Chester - I was looking to add a few more as it looked as if the breakout might happen. But away from my PC for 24 hrs and look what happens! Its very tightly held and the MMs are short of stock - big buy order in the background?

Stu I know what you mean but it helps the company if they buy shares for 1.31p for the SIPT fund ;-)

Education Development International plc (the 'Company'), the leading provider of educational qualifications and assessment services, announces that on 11 December 2009 the Company's recently established Share Incentive Plan Trust (the 'SIPT') purchased 10,000 shares in the Company representing 0.02% of the issued share capital of the Company, at a price of 1.31p per share. This purchase represents the total interest the SIPT has in the Company.

Mr Barrie Clark and Mr Nigel Snook, being Directors of the Company, are also Trustees of the SIPT.

Although Nigel has maintained his holding at 5.5% Jennifer Moody does not currently retain any interest in the company. It helps if management hold shares as it gives them a shareholders perspective rather than an employee perspective. IMO.

I think it's fair enough that Directors have sold some shares for a very good profit, they have price targets just like us. Looking at the Hambro purchase give confidence that institutions are still looking to increase holdings.

Mr Nigel Snook, Chief Executive, exercised 500,000 Share Options at an exercise price of 9.25p per share and 500,000 Share Options at an exercise price of 12.5p per share. Upon exercise all shares were immediately sold at a price of 135p per share. Following this transaction, Mr Snook's interest in the Company is unchanged at 3,114,437 Ordinary Shares representing approximately 5.5% of the Total Voting Rights.

Dr Jenifer Moody, Education Development and Innovation Director, exercised
67,312 Share Options at an exercise price of 9.25p per share. Upon exercise all shares were immediately sold at a price of 135p per share. Dr Moody does not have any interest in the Company's Ordinary Shares.

In addition, the Company has today been notified that Mr Barrie Clark, Non
Executive Director, sold 350,000 Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of
135p per share on 4 December 2009. Following the transaction, Mr Clark has an
interest in 502,222 Ordinary Shares in the Company representing approximately
0.87% of the Total Voting Rights.

Everyone sells on the same day only to be followed by RNS that J Hambro have incresed their shareholding and passed the 5% threshold.

Not quite sure what to make of this?

so Hambro increase by 270,000 and Directors sell 1,000,000+. No change to share price. Any views on the Director sells?

I can only buy 2,500 at present but can sell 10,000 which suggests the MMs a bit short of stock??
