Empresaria Share Discussion Threads

Hardly a surprise that they have announced another upgrade given general recruitment markets. Should be £1 I think given momentum.

Thanks for that. The 6.5p looks very doable given they did 4.5p at H1. Not sure without looking back a bit but most recruiters are H2 weighted so maybe we will get another beat later

Allenby -
Forecasts raised – Following Empresaria’s mid-May trading update, we increased our adjusted profit before tax forecasts for 2021 by c.10% from £5.2m to £5.7m. Following the strong growth in profits in H1 and the Board’s increasing confidence regarding the outcome for the full year we are raising forecasts again moving our adjusted PBT expectations from £5.7m to £6.8m and adjusted EPS from 4.5p to 6.5p, putting the shares on a modest PER of 12.4x current year earnings.

1310 ...Most certainly!

Brilliant RNS today and a strong positive on the future Outlook.

What goes to 90 goes to 100

Decent numbers and full year above. Trading should really be decent everywhere except in the pilot division. Wonder if we can get back over £1. At this point in the cycle that's where we need to be. Hard to work out exactly what is working with all the COVID ups and downs but looks to me as if the new CEO is getting this moving. Fingers crossed

Wonder if this will have a bit of a run to the interims ? Most other recruiters are doing well at the moment

[daneswooddynamo] 14/6/2021 19:39

Maybe a tip sheet has inspired the recent move

10% rise Friday but little interest it seems.

[harrogate] 03/6/2021 07:51

There seemed to be a bit of action here a few weeks ago but all back to sleep now. Based on other recruiters the current trading update - better than 2020 should really be more to come. If it is going to be taken private which was always my thought I would think now is the time.

started watching recruitment companies back in June, thought they were a good recovery bet > Staffline, Gattaca and Empresaria. Bought STAF at 27p and delighted with gain to 65/70p. Watched in frustration as GATC trebled from 45/50 to 150p, but couldnt grumble. EMR has not quite doubled, 30p to 56p, not sure why. Seems cheap so now bought in for the next move.

[harrogate] 08/4/2021 11:45

Not that I can see but free float is so small that it doesn't take much as we saw on the way down. Recruiting should be decent at the moment and I suspect they used the pandemic to take out costs and the 28% owned by chairman means a take private is always on the cards.

Lively today, any news?

I didn't sell enough at what was clearly a too high a level for the performance. But I do think the new CEO is getting to grips and if/ when net fee income gets back to 2019 levels they should be pretty profitable. I am holding on as not much choice now. When a company issues a TU and not one share is traded it is a pretty good sign that they shouldn't be public.

[daneswooddynamo] 28/1/2021 12:13

Still hold a few of these from years back having fortunately sold a large chunk when it surged up to around 150p.

Have to confess I have been pleasantly surprised by some resilience in the business over the last 9 months. Shares are pretty much unloved so could be worth a top up and the company has been buying in stock.

Got to be a time when something happens to the ownership with the Chairman continuing to effectively control the company. At the end of the day I kind of wonder why the Company continues to be public, it’s not as though they ever seem to tap the market for equity.

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast recently and part of our discussion includes EMR, which I hold myself, and the wider Recruitment sector. This is an unusual episode because for the first time we had a Special Guest on the show and the response has been hugely favourable (here’s a clue: he’s not the usual ‘Guru’ that all Podcasts have).

And as always we chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research and a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing and Portfolio Management.

Anyway, if you use Youtube, Apple, Audioboom, Overcast or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 40) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted, not like all the stuffy financial fodder you are probably more used to !!

Happy New Lockdown !! WD

Hi Has everyone gone to sleep investing in this share? As the pandemic dissipates companies will start rehiring temps (firstly)& this company is well positioned. Recovery play?

[deadly] 08/12/2020 16:47

What a charming expression.
