Excellent buy, gentoo will not have run this business very comercially as they are basically a social housing supplier. So there will be lots of costs which can be stripped out.

AdamB1978, I think that might already be the case, two directors left in December 2013, leaving only Stephen McGowan.

At a cost of only £200k it gives a PSR figure of 0.016, bargain of the century?

Well after some digging into Astley Facades accounts, a PSR purchase ratio of 0.127 would seem about right imv. Still good value if ENTU's management can turn the business around.

£200k acquisition; company trading at break-even. Fire the CFO and you've probably bought the company on a PE of say 3x

Excellent news! :0))


Looks a good buy at £200k.

Very nice rally back today.

[cfro] 26/3/2015 09:38

What a brilliant opportunity to add. Never expected the share price to come back down here.:-)

[emeraldzebra] 25/3/2015 17:13

bit of a bloodbath today though which is a pity !

[cfro] 24/3/2015 13:40

I am guessing that good things are emanating from the AGM given the move in the share price ....:-)

[thebantamboy] 24/3/2015 13:37

I am guessing there must be some reason for the rise!

Jungle drums beating from returnees from the AGM?

[interceptor2] 20/3/2015 12:47

Worth reminding investors here that the AGM is next Tuesday, as we have no precedent it is hard to know if a trading update would also be released?

The outlook statement in February said "The current year has started well and trading is in line with our expectations." So they will now have almost 5 month's of the current financial year to comment on.

Very quick response to say the payment was received by cheque and they await clearance before crediting the funds(unlike other brokers obviously!). Said funds would be in the account by tomorrow.

[cwa1] 18/3/2015 11:14

Thanks all, I'll drop them a gentle reminder!

[joeall] 18/3/2015 11:00

Cal,i'm with BARC.received this morning.

[thebantamboy] 18/3/2015 10:27

Hi CWA1, I am with TD Direct and recieved mine.

[interceptor2] 18/3/2015 07:43

They did say the following in the February results statement.

"As a Group we have benefitted over the years from acquisitions and, to complement our organic growth, we are always exploring the potential to enhance our product offering through carefully targeted acquisitions which meet strict value enhancing criteria."

As long as any future acquisitions are along these lines, and are earning enhancing, then it would be a sensible strategy alongside good organic growth.

The repair and renewal agreements sector might be a focus, it is apparently a fragmented market yet has very high profit margins.

Which reminds me about the recent agreement with Flowgroup for ENTU to sell, install and maintain the Company's electricity-generating Flow boiler and to market the Company's home energy offer.

This was an agreement announced on the same day as results in February, and I believe shows the direction and focus on future agreements or acquisitions that offer high profit margins.

Anyone else NOT received their dividend yet? iDealing haven't coughed up yet which is unusual for them as they are normally fairly punctual.

[cfro] 17/3/2015 14:07

Plenty of volume/buying again today. :-)

I joined the crowd and also topped up today to add to yesterdays buy.

[sheikh al utrati] 17/3/2015 13:06

No problem mate, have fun.

[ed 123] 17/3/2015 12:56

Sheikh al Utrati

I've had a quick look at ENTU. Thanks, Sheikh al Utrati. :-)

You got a good entry price. Well done!

It's a good sector, too. And those finals look good.

They do intend, though, to go for acquisitions. That raises my eyebrows, since the finals showed eps rising by 57%. If they can do that organically, why take risks on acquisitions?

I'll go through the IPO documents when I get time.

Thanks again.

[cfro] 16/3/2015 13:53

I bought back in today. The IC article convinced me! :-)

I did have previous reservations regarding the management but i am willing to put these issues i have to one side and let the story here guide me.

[joeall] 16/3/2015 12:19

i'm, with barc & so far no divi.

[imranawan] 16/3/2015 12:09

Received mine this morning in my iWeb account.

[mrwhits1] 16/3/2015 11:55

[joeall] 16/3/2015 11:51

Anyone,received the divi yet?
