They all look cheap...just that cheap gets cheaper. I'm waiting on the charts to turn. What it is..41 months of outflows into UK funds versus one inflow.

Spew!

Anywho....

So oddly ST has just done his annual list with only 8 companies making the list. GATC isn't on it. They are:

TAVI
KBT
CARR
VLE
CRS
ASTO
ANIC
CRL

I wonder if they will attract much attention tomorrow. The market just doesn't give a hoot about tipsters nowadays.

Let's see.

Hey Volsung, got any good humour?

Or was buying in here the humour? :-)

You're slipping....no V at the front of this share.


We got 0.1% GDP growth!

Can I get a....whoop whoop?

Best news so far this year ha

And whilst we're here...Core PPI for the US is in.

The big man at the FED said that they don't look at the CPI, they look at PPI. Seen as our gilt yields are following the US and our stock market is working off that as well, with worries over more hot CPI prints in the US and a possible big walloping rise in yields and sell off in markets.....

Or at least that is what another big posh fancy man in a suit on the ole business telly said.

Core PPI is in line with forecasts - hoorah! Abit of relief there.


Seen as that all ties in with GATC...


Some interesting commentary in that research report. They are suggesting that the staffing sector is bottoming. I can see they are having a go over at HAS today (trying to pick the bottom) and it is hard to not see long termers nibble at something like STEM, but the market isn't suggesting any recovery as it looks forward to the back end of this year.

But IF we muddle through with a smidgeon of growth or flatline, could the bottom be in for staffing? Or is it more of a slowdown which is why the market doesn't want to bid anything up right now?

And how the hell are GATC going to do £5m adjusted PBT next year?

IF they can get anywhere close to that....with the cash pile here...this is bonkers cheap.

I don't think they can hit that number next year, but it still looks cheap.

£17.3m net cash forecast next financial year
£5m adjusted profit...even if they warn and do half that

That is alot for around £24m

Is this one of ST's? Is he gonna tip this as part of the BIG ANNUAL SHARE BUY LIST with ...WINE, ASTO, VLG...what else does he like...ooerr..

Anyway, its on the watchlist to see how trading progresses and when bullish buying really picks up.

All imo

"A resilient update that stands out from the crowd" - new research and audio summary available here:

The key takeaway from the trading update for H1 ’25 was a solid trading performance, despite a challenging market environment. We remain encouraged by the static guidance at the adj. PBT level of £3m for FY25, highlighting an improvement in operational efficiency, combined with higher average fee rates.

Contract NFI declined 1% yoy, with increased summer holidays and a late return to work in January modestly offsetting the growth in contractor numbers and higher salaries. Although permanent NFI declined 10% yoy during the period, this demonstrates outperformance relative to its professional service focused peers and GATC delivered growth of 3% on a sequential half-yearly basis.

We have modestly reduced FY25 estimates for NFI (-5% to £39.2m) and, following the reduction in trade creditors (DSOs broadly static), lower our net cash estimate to £16m (previously £20.7m). However, guidance for adj. PBT is unchanged at £3m and we have introduced estimates for FY26 indicating strong growth in profitability and dividends.

In view of unchanged estimates of adj. PBT and the high level of net cash on the balance sheet, we have chosen to retain our fair value / share at 140p. Net cash accounts for c. 73% of the market capitalisation. Stripping out the cash places the group on a FY25 PER of just 4.1x

Bad management , no action regarding share prices, keep falling

From a valuation standpoint, Gattaca does look compelling, but let's cut through the noise and get real about what these numbers mean in context. 1. Massive Net Cash Position (85% of Market Cap, No Debt) – This is a fortress balance sheet. It limits financial risk and provides flexibility for growth, but it also raises a question: Why hasn't the market priced this in? Is the cash being put to good use, or is management just hoarding it? 2. Retained Market Value at 140p, Currently at 80p – If the stock is trading at such a deep discount to historical value, we have to ask: What's the market seeing that we aren't? Mispricing can happen, but sometimes, it's justified. 3. Revenue Growth of 9% Per Annum – Solid but not explosive. It's decent compounding, but unless margins are expanding or they're reinvesting aggressively, this alone won't drive a rerating. 4. Consistent Dividend + Share Buybacks – This signals confidence and shareholder-friendly management. However, buybacks only create value if the stock is genuinely undervalued-otherwise, it's just financial engineering. Final Thought: The numbers look strong, but valuation alone doesn't drive share prices-market sentiment and business momentum do. What's the catalyst that gets Gattaca out of the value trap? If this is purely a "cheap on paper" play with no clear growth driver, it could stay undervalued indefinitely. What's going to make investors wake up to it?

GATC – Gattaca
2*
Another soft set of numbers from the recruitment sector, the general message is the same as from its peers. Q3 Group NFI was £40.1m, down 5% year on year, Group continuing underlying profit before tax was down to £2.9m from FY23 restated: £3.7m. Weaker performance led to a halving of the Full year dividend to 2.5 pence per share. And the share price is down nearly 8% today to new lows for the year. The outlook also ...from WealthOracle

Very valid points Doug

I dont doubt any measures the Govt take with regards to the new covid varient will have an effect on the market but the GATC share price should not be effected any more or less than the majority of shares.Good companies like GATC who have no underlying problems but great prospects will benefit greatly when a bounce occurs.The employment market will still be tight with employers desperate to hire skilled staff

I personally wouldnt sell because the small volume movements combined with the large spread of GATC have a potential to catch people out who sell now thinking they can get in cheaper.

With regards to NT whilst he posts stop losses he tends not to activate them on volitile low trading stocks.

I will personally ride out the dips and when the hysteria over the new varient settles down and the bounce occurs i will add on the forward momentum
