18:20		illiswilgig: boule, to be fair - when asked what was the most risky share she held - she answered that she only had 6 shares with any debt, then said that James Fisher was one of the most risky as it had made some bad capital allocations and needed to reduce debt by selling underperforming businesses - which she said she thought it would achieve. She didn't actually say it was THE most risky. She clearly doesn't do high levels of debt. You could see it as good that she invested in Fisher despite its high levels of debt and that she thinks it will get its act together? Take your pick With respect to selling - yes a lot harder than buying! cheers

14:03		bouleversee: I haven't looked at the video yet but did read the podcast summary and noted that she regsrded FSJ as the most risky. So sad to see what has happened to what was my best investment. When will I learn to take profits before they disappear instead of falling in love with the holding?

11:43		illiswilgig: Tomps - thank you. A fascinating interview and well worth watching the whole thing. I use Piworld quite a bit now but probably would not have had reason to watch this without your prompt. Thanks. I agree with the concerns expressed over FSJ level of debt and some recent capital allocation decisions. And what remains to be done to reduce debt levels - probably getting rid of some businesses - to focus upon the growth areas. To be fair they were the decisions made by the previous CEO - yes those dive boats I keep banging on about, and the middle eastern fiasco - but who did also achieve a lot but things went a bit off piste in his last year or two - and the soon to be ex-chairman who should have been able to do a much better job of steering the strategy. What I find positive is that she invested in Fisher despite the debt concerns - so she must she something there that she rates highly? I note that Fisher is not one the top10 holdings in the fund - but large enough that the rise in share price in February was the largest positive contribution to the fund in that month according to their latest factsheet. cheers

16:28		bottomfisher: Mildly reassuring to see the wife of the finance director topping up the family stake with real money rather than exercising nil cost share options which do nothing to align an executive's interests with those of small shareholders. As a result the FD, whose family has close to 75,000 shares, is the only FSJ director who can seriously claim to have any ‘skin in the game’. Three of the five non-executives, who have been on the board for years, own no shares in James Fisher despite receiving annual fees of between £44,000 and £61,000. Malcolm Paul, chairman, who joined the board in 2011, owns 13,000 shares which are worth little more than half his £205,000 annual fee (which rose 31% in 2019). Justin Atkinson, the only other non-exec with a stake in the business, owns 3150 shares, which are worth less than half his £65,000 annual fee. Compare the fees and share ownership of the James Fisher non-execs with that of a blue chip company like Unilever. The latter’s chairman is paid around £750,000 a year and the basic fee for its non-execs is around £100,000 pa. The really big difference is in the share ownership as a percentage of non-exec fees which is disclosed in the annual report. It ranges from 101% to 369% for all but two of the dozen or so non-execs. If only Fisher's non-execs could show the same sort of commitment to their company as Unilever's board, then it might just be possible to shrug off last week's depressing trading update as a temporary setback rather than a sign that all is not well inside FSJ's engine room.

08:53		illiswilgig: Ooops, by 'share price drifting lower' - what I actually meant of course was the share price will nose-dive by 10% to 968p. Good to know that my hindsight is still functioning superbly. c'est la vie and I can't blame the market - there was nothing in the trading statement to point towards recover. cheers

08:29		illiswilgig: I notice that the bulletin board has become as quiet as the company in recent months. Rather than recovering the share price has been drifting down to new lows in recent days. Which makes it likely that this mornings trading update is clearly not a surprise to some. Downbeat. The expected recovery in trading has not materialised. Turnover is down 17%. Finger of gloom is pointed at the marine support division with delayed and postponed oil/gas and subsea contracts. No good news. No bright spots highlighted. To give them their due they have given clear guidance on the expected level of underlying operating profit - 35-40m (was 66m in FY19) - at the lower end thats a fall of almost 50%. You choose whether that 50% of profits is half full or half empty? It seems that any recovery in trading is on hold for now - so is any recovery in shareprice? There may be more bad news on the way whilst they get the marine support division sorted out - ominous statement on the review of the asset base, which makes a serious writedown in assets likely in my view?? To be clear I am not surprised (though a tad disappointed) that a recovery has not materialised, oil prices are still very low and all the major energy companies are busy slashing costs and putting new projects on hold - even renewables. It looks like a hard slog from here until there is a recovery in its markets - priced fairly though it may continue to drift downwards to new lows in absence of positive contract news. All this will obscure the good work that they are doing in entering new markets and new products in the other divisions. cheers

00:03		bouleversee: Yes, I did hear that but Boris promises a lot of things that never come to pass, wooded bridges over The Thames (while the existing ones are falling down), airports in funny places, superb test and trace systems, getting Brexit done (or not), etc. etc. and I doubt if we will see all those windmills in my lifetime. Anyway, like you, I have been too busy this week on other urgent matters to keep track of share prices but it's good to see them moving in the right direction. I see the directors were more on the ball and knew it was the right time to buy, though the FD immediately sold a big chunk of his option purchases at £521.67 netting himself a huge profit. I sometimes wonder whether share prices are manipulated to suit options. Disappointed by such a low dividend. At the moment, I'm more interested in income than usual and can't afford to risk any more capital.

22:41		roddiemac2: I am sure you are all aware that on Tuesday this week Boris pledged that offshore wind will will produce enough electricity to power every home in a decade. This is a sensible, if ambitious aim ( once upon a time we led the world in equally ambitious projects ) . Boris has announced £160 million of investment in ports and factories for a start." Analysts have suggested that reaching this target would require £50 billion of capital investment , and the completion of a turbine every weekday throughout the decade. " I like the idea of floating wind farms. FSJ is already well established in this arena. The potential now is massive. Illis, boule, I am sorry that I have not yet commented on the interim results. I have had a lot to deal with in the last couple of months , and investment has taken a back seat. Illis,-- I note that you have covered them well, as you usually do. boule, I don`t worry too much about the share price . Our job is to take advantage of markets when we judge them to be irrational. I added several times as the shares fell; time will tell.

11:26		illiswilgig: Well what to think? Having read the interims I find it hard to put into words - except as I predicted, and I didn't need to be a rocket scientist to predict - good in parts. Or, according to your half full or half empty view, bad in parts. The current share price values Fisher fairly in view of its current business (order book) the level of debt and intangible assets on its balance sheet. It's on around 18x forecast earnings for this year and 14x earnings for next year (21). Whether that fully values growth prospects requires a crystal ball. Mine is currently out of service. The interim results, comprehensive though they are, don't provide much reassurance on future growth. But to be fair, times are not normal and why provide a hostage to fortune if you can't know whats going to happen in the next 6months let alone the next year or two. For the bears there is plenty of gloom surrounding the poor performance of the marine support division, about half the company by sales - but only 25% of profits, currently enjoys a return on capital of below 5%. Some underperforming assets there that need sorting out? For the bulls, the specialist technical division has made good progress despite coping with a pandemic, profits down 20% still a healthy return on capital at above 13%. Tankships, the cash cow, plods onwards - and remained profitable even during may and june, which is good news in an ever declining market. roc reduced but still at 27%. The gold star goes to Offshore Oil - once the problem child - but with sales, profits and roc all up. Though with roc of 8.6% its acceptable but more to do? It's a no brainer that sorting out Marine Suppoert is the first objective. It looks like the pandemic coupled with the negative oil price spike has accelerated an already struggling division. To be fair the company recognises this, apparently headcount reductions have already been made, and Fisher has a long and creditable record of adjusting its business when the world changes. The remarkable turnaround at offshore oil under the current conditions is a good example of their ability to do this well, with artificial lift pumps for end of life wells, specialist cutting for decommissioning rigs and compressor environmental support to renewable project construction all cited as growth areas. Should they achieve anything remotely similar with marine support then the current share price does not fully value the prospects, nowehere near. The restoration of the interim dividend is a signal that the board don't see immediate problems and you might take it as a signal of confidence in the future. I am sure that they would want you to. I like the potential of the subsea, ROV, defence, deoommissioning and renewable markets that the company is developing. I am confortable holding this share at the moment - unlike many shares it has not staged a recovery which may prove premature. So I think that the risks are weighted towards the upside in the short term, though we will most likely have to wait for the full year results for a clearer outlook, and I remain bullish in the medium term. cheers Illis
