03:40		thrumptasious: With the four years of losses, the purchase price and decommissioning costs for Swadlincote this has been an expensive acquisition for Forterra. The half year results are not great for Forterra precast business and as you say the market has grown………Forterra core business is clearly brick which is what they should focus on.

14:02		edmundshaw: I got lucky added a few at £1.515 in March, but the absolute bargain was surprisingly in September when there was a chance to add at £1.415. My average price is still around £2, so I am sure damanko has a lower entry point, but really it is all irrelevant history. I originally bought down at 220p+ on Brexit concerns, because the company business is simple, solid and with great prospects with the housing shortage. That logic hold true after a great resilience through the pandemic, and £3 would be an absolute minimum ytarget price for me...

16:02		thrumptasious: Bonjour Damanko - I guess I do appear to be a little grim reaper esc, however like most posts mine are subjective and it really depends on how the recipient reads or interprets them. For example the above post is perhaps a little more positive about Ibstock than it is Forterra. Generally I think my posts albeit not to everyone taste have been quite accurate in their content and most of what I have tabled has come to fruition. I gave my humble opinion about waiting for the 1/2 year results to be published - I would say this isn't particularly bad advice. I mentioned a few months ago that I thought the share price may bottom out at this point. From therein the share price may improve (again putting a positive spin on the situation). That said I do look forward to writing more positive posts when the time arises during these unprecedented times. Nonetheless its certainly food for thought - In the meantime take care Regards T

16:03		thrumptasious: It's nice to see Forterra CEO Stephen Harrison's siblings capitalising on the lower share price last Friday - they purchased their shares at a really good price. In fact it appears that most of the BOD had a dabble on the 02nd July - I don't recall seeing any RNS distributed for a number of these transactions. They probably just got in before the 1/2 year closed period approaches Stay safe everyone

21:00		thrumptasious: Hi Damanko I believe the share price will bottom out following June's or the half year results (these are not factored in to the current share price). There are going to be a substantial amount of job losses in their Precast business which is being blamed in part on Covid19. This is not entirely true the Precast business made a massive mistake purchasing the Bison Precast business for £20 million. Under his leadership their MD Peter Varnsverry has transformed a once profitable business into a loss making one. 200 jobs will be lost due to incompetence, poor strategy and the loss of business......Sad times ahead for a large % of the Pre-cast teams

12:32		edmundshaw: Thrumptasious something of a perma-bear here for 6 months. Only stock on which he comments. He also made allegations about Forterra last year but nothing the company has said since bears them out. I'd be very wary of this poster's comments...

23:11		bogdan branislov: NPP62 - not trading is the key. I rarely hold for less than a year, often a couple of years or more. You must be doing something correct if you hold Fort. Fort is currently on a PE of 12.5. The combination of higher prices for bricks and more output could well mean a PE of 7 or 8 at this share price in a couple of years. Of course the share price will likely rise before then, but as earnings increase, if the PE rises to nearer 20 in a couple of years, based on the higher earnings we could have nearly double bagged by then. The point being that it is important not to take profits when we see, say, 50% gains here, or at the first sign of a pull back. The price will likely gain some, pull back some, gains some more and so on. Stick with it so long as there is value on offer, we should do very nicely here with patience. In investing, being right alone is never enough, you need the capacity both to be right and to sit tight, not common to find both capacities in the same person.

20:37		bogdan branislov: I am a Forterra shareholder, multiple six figure. I have been following discussions here. Whenever anyone posts negatively it is usually because they are either shorting, not the case here, shorting Forterra would be insane, or an individual is trying to convince themselves that they are doing the right thing. I invest full time, my annual average returns are over 27% pa compounding since May 2009, almost 14x increase based on share price growth and divis alone. There are others in the UK with better records no doubt, but if if my performance was a golf handicap, then I would play off a minus figure. Enough about me, on to Forterra. Fort has suffered a little over the past 3 and a bit years, like many in the construction and construction materials sector. Better times now lie ahead, but watch out for the conventional land holding large house builders. They have a poor record at judging cycles and are misjudging this housing cycle which could run another decade. Their land holdings are not large enough, in most cases, once house prices in the North catch up a little, happening now, house prices won't increase much more, but land prices will. As the large builders pile in for land together the price of land will accelerate, eroding builders margins beneath them, even as their outputs continue to grow - not a problem for Fort though. Not all parts of Fort's business are firing on all cyclinders, but, brick prices are going to increase. UK brick supply is finite and yes, bricks can be brought in from Holland, but bricks don't travel well as they are physically heavy for their price, the transport price is proportionately high, once volumes from Holland begin to increase, Fort and the other UK brick makers will raise their prices. Add to that the new production facility and the outlook s strong for Fort. One of the things that has served me well as an investor is examining the balance sheet equity of a company during challenging phases, or if bump or two in the road appears. Fort's shareholder funds, also known as balance sheet equity, also known as net assets, have grown strongly every year. This company has great underlying strength, no doubt about that. The PE ratio is about half the average for the mid cap index, Fort is soon to enter the mid cap index and yet it is a far stronger business than the average mid cap, at half the average earnings ratio, how remarkable is that. Earnings growth is over prioritised. I am not saying that growth does not matter, it does, but earnings growth is less than half the story, balance sheet equity growth is more important as it reflects the shareholder funds. Earnings growth without balance sheet equity growth is a sham. Balance sheet equity growth while earnings growth is flat is still very positive. Anyway, Fort will pile on the earnings growth again shortly, in the meantime the shareholder funds have been growing very strongly. This overriding importance of balance sheet equity growth, not many investors realise that, it was Ben Graham's most important lesson and yet it is rarely discussed now. Fort is a compelling buy, no doubt about that, and an honest up front business as well, the management talks to shareholders straight, just what I like to see.

17:50		damanko: Evening Thrump. Did you note the article on Sirius in yesterday's Sunday Times business section? Funds are drying up, backers appear to be either pulling out or postponing decisions on whether or not to invest. And by invest I mean putting cash in to enable the drilling project to continue. Many 'small' i.e. private investors have taken a bet on this company, I just hope (at this time) they have invested money they can afford to lose. Back on FORT topic, since flotation it's been quite a contrary share, the market may get hammered, and on that day FORT share price may well rise. And the same in reverse. As discussed previously, you don't rate Bison, I'll give things a year or three to see whether your posts on that subject bear merit. The Forterra dividend bearing in mind my buying price is more than quite acceptable, and for the medium term future I'll continue to reinvest them. As is always the case, time will tell. D.
