Or, yes.

They're not involved in the fuselage per se, which is where the reported problems are.

[bigbigdave] 10/2/2012 09:14

G, where have you been when we needed you? :o)

[gumberr] 10/2/2012 09:08

Lol! Thanks!

[ignoble] 09/2/2012 21:55

Welcome back ...

[gumberr] 09/2/2012 21:54

This really needs a takeover , struggles at £2.20 !

[thorpematt] 09/2/2012 19:19

Or, yes.



Depending on how you define fuselage

Which ever way you look at it, the shareprice is flying so fasten your seatbelts.

Aren't these guys involved in the fuselage of the 787?

[bigbigdave] 02/2/2012 17:40

New closing high for the year :o)
Chart saying to me that last summer's high will get taken out pdq.

It's been a bit frustrating watching this one lag behind the recent market rise, but it's in my SIPP so, unless anything changes, I'll hold. It's on an amazingly low PEG for a FTSE 100 stock.

[ignoble] 02/2/2012 14:08

LOL , don't you just hate it when a stock goes up week after week .
Makes me jumpy as to knowing when to sell it ...all appears rosy in the garden at the moment though .

[bluebelle] 02/2/2012 14:02

In a word : 'Yes'!

[ignoble] 02/2/2012 13:56

Where's GUMBERR ? ..he must be loving this strength ...aren't we all ?

[bluebelle] 01/2/2012 14:33

Thanks Alpha - I've looked at Titan several times but it's never quite made it from the watch list to the portfolio. I've been very selective, especially over the last year or so given market conditions, and it hasn't quite ticked all the boxes although it seems to have quite a bit going for it. It seems to me to be very tightly managed with good financial control.

Bluebelle,

A good way to play the GKN's wheel business - which is for sale - is TSW.

GKN on a mission today...........

[bluebelle] 27/1/2012 12:12

Seems sensible - each doing what they're best at. Incidentally CR mentioned the positive statement from Caterpillar on his thread yesterday. As I posted there, this bodes well for GKN's Agricultural division which doesn't, IMHO, get the attention from the (mainly engineering) analysts covering the stock.


GKN PLC announces dissolution of joint arrangements in Thailand

GKN plc announces the dissolution of its Driveline joint arrangements with
JTEKT Corporation (`JTEKT`) in Rayong, Thailand. GKN and JTEKT have concluded a
Share Exchange Agreement under which GKN has acquired JTEKT`s 49% shareholding
in GKN Driveline JTEKT Manufacturing Limited (`GTM`), and transferred to JTEKT
its 49% shareholding in GKN JTEKT (Thailand) Limited (`GTT`).

Following this amicable dissolution, GKN now owns 100% of GTM (the
manufacturing facility) and JTEKT now owns 100% of GTT (the sales and
distribution arm). Each will operate independently except for the continuation
of certain existing supplies of driveshafts to Toyota.

GKN will pay JTEKT net consideration of approximately GBP7.7 million which will
be funded from the Group's existing resources, with further deferred
consideration of GBP1.3 million contingent upon GTM obtaining certain specified
future business awards.

Reading between the lines of the report in the Guardian today it would appear that GKN were not interested in the work that went to KAI.,so that would indicate that rumours over the loss to GKN of composite wing work are unfounded:



Dissapointed though that Airbus did not try harder to keep the work in the UK by approaching other potential sources such as Weston or BHW considering the current economic environment where governments are desperate to avoid recession in the EU and noting EADS is owned by German,French and Spanish governments as well as the fact that Airbus are not short of orders so competitiveness is not an issue.
