[qs99] 27/4/2017 09:43

yup 3rd May I believe from their web-site DYOR

[graham1ty] 27/4/2017 09:35

Is the AGM next week

[aishah] 27/4/2017 09:34

Really should be trading nearer 200p imo.

[qs99] 27/4/2017 09:32

3rd May, last time there was a TU so rise ahead of that IMO bodes well for next week...GLA

[foxman14] 27/4/2017 09:19

Building nicely now in anticipation of the AGM statement.

[qs99] 25/4/2017 08:50

would have thought that with better signs in Europe and French election result boosting Euro thoughts etc, that EMR may have seen a decent bounce....IMO/DYOR

[qs99] 04/4/2017 08:19

Looking good again today....

IC tip of the week-

[merrimac] 30/3/2017 08:53

Looks like some individual has increased his stake.

[graham1ty] 29/3/2017 07:54

New buy note out today from Arden. Suggest 50% upside from these levels.

EMR hit 158p ( highest price paid) in Feb and has been disappointing since, failing to find support at 140p then 130p.

Close Asset Mgmt added 137,210 share to go above 5%

Shares mag extract;
Earnings quality should improve thanks to recent investments. Last summer it bought New Zealand-based Rishworth which places pilots in jobs with commercial airlines, typically on three to five year contracts. Recruiters normally pay their candidates’ salaries before they get paid by clients, thereby requiring a pot of cash to cover these outgoings which is known as ‘working capital’. Empresaria says it normally gets paid 50 days later.

The situation is different with Rishworth. Airlines either pay the pilot salary costs to the recruiter in advance or within a short period. That is positive for the group’s working capital.

Empresaria also bought an IT recruitment business last year which sources talented people for jobs on innovative technology projects. Candidates are in high demand, so salaries can be fairly decent. This, in turn, generates a good chunk of commission for Empresaria.

Don’t worry about a large jump in net debt during 2016. That’s principally down to the acquisitions. It is a cash generative business and it says debt will quickly come down over the next few years.

[qs99] 06/3/2017 11:31

fair enough, but with deflationary worries in the EU abating from latest stats it may be that there is a brief opportunity for EMR to make some hay there as well as UK etc, so think this sell is overdone IMO and will be interesting to see if buyers snap this dip up....but a profit is a profit PJ so well done! It is not a realised profit until you sell!

GLA and DYOR

After a fantastic run over a number of years I have (somewhat reluctantly)taken profits this morning. I expect to be back at some point.

All the best to those still holding

[daneswooddynamo] 01/3/2017 09:27

well done to fellow long-term holders. Needed a lot of patience here during 2012-15 but now paying off nicely

[aishah] 01/3/2017 09:25

NFI up 20%, divi +15%. These should be trading nearer 200p imo.

[harrogate] 01/3/2017 08:55

I thought the move up was not warranted. The numbers were if anything slightly disappointing to me as they had flagged "slightly above" in the TU and I see these as slightly behind. Given the massive currency tailwind in H2 it is only ok. Not a seller at this price at the moment but I don't see the further 50% upside that the broker sees from here. 2017 EPS number is 14.3p.

[petes5] 01/3/2017 08:26

From the way the price is moving it looks like there is quite a bit of doubt about the results. Still early in the day though and prices are often jumpy first thing. Long term holder of this.

[spooky] 01/3/2017 07:58

If that pre market mark up lasts I would be whacking it all over the place unless I was a long long term investor IMO.

[qs99] 01/3/2017 07:45

Agreed, pretty upbeat and with any business in this sector, hopefully the operational leverage will be marked.....outlook was robust IMO/DYOR: "We continue to see exciting growth opportunities to develop our Group and deliver increased profits and we look to 2017 with confidence."

[graham1ty] 01/3/2017 07:32

Those results look pretty good
