I like FORT a lot but I’m struggling to see where the growth is coming from. At the moment I’d be buying on the assumption planning reforms drive increased housing volumes, but I have low confidence in anything Labour are doing!

Don't see why bid for MBH, just fine tune own capabilities, plenty home grown potential with refurbed factories.
Market share over profitability isn't wise here IMO.

yes a bit odd, as house builders have seen decent share price growth over the past 6-9 months yet this has fallen steadily.

lots of doom and gloom in the share price, but the real money is made buying these sort of cyclicals when the future looks a bit uncertain. on a medium - long term view this generates plenty of cash. the new desford plant should enable them to benefit fully from a recovery, whenever that is.

Just looked at this thread for the first time in a very long time. It's still quite a quiet thread, no idea why, given the sector it resides in, and the pressure nationwide for new housing stock to be built, year on year - seemingly forever.

I've looked at my paper records in an old file: I sold half my holding in 11/2018 at £2.73, the rest a year later at £3.35. I don't feel clever about those transactions, just lucky. The money went into savings accounts, which now yield 5%+.

In the early days of this thread, one investor in particular, with some very good knowledge of Forterra, having (perhaps) worked as an employee or sub-contractor, was very sceptical regarding the management and forward strategy of the company. All this stuff is history, and can be read on the thread. I think as a result of what he wrote, and the information he shared, I eventually decided to sell.

I would be interested to hear if current investors believe the Forterra management & BOD are once again heading in the right direction, and the company might once again become a decent long term investment..?

Yes to the following: It suffered during the pandemic. It suffered from supply chain difficulties. It suffered from skilled labour shortages as a result of Brexit. And so on... And so did all companies, in similar sectors, yet look at the Forterra share price now, compared to, say - 4 or 5 years ago.

Regards to all, and the best of luck in your investments.

Results and current share price seem to reflect current conditions. The former is natural, the latter a bit blinkered IMO. In the future conditions are far more likely to improve than deteriorate, and efficiencies are likely to improve markedly now the new factory is almost up and running, so I am happy to hold at this price.

Although there's a significant difference on the 12 month FORT v IBST respective share prices, their 5 year share price performance is very similar.

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...
