Nice to see a strong uptick in the share price just before a positive trading update

GHH used to be better than this. Still, as an investor, not a trader, who am I to complain?

Still unable I think to get the dividend information correct as xd date not included. Xd date will be 4 December rather than today because the new settlement day rules. Thursdays not Wednesdays are XD days. Stand to be corrected if I have misunderstood AIM rules

Half Year Trading Update
RNS Number : 1372E
Gooch & Housego PLC
07 April 2014




For immediate release


7 April 2014





Gooch & Housego PLC

("G&H" or the "Company")


Half Year Trading Update



"Trading in line with expectations"



Gooch & Housego PLC, the specialist manufacturer of optical components & systems, today announces that trading for the six months ended 31 March 2014 was in line with management expectations. Interim Results will be announced on 10 June 2014.



With good customer engagement across its principal markets and an encouraging pipeline of opportunities G&H is well positioned for growth despite overall market conditions remaining neutral, as reflected in the order book, which is 9% higher than at the beginning of the year (2% on a on a like-for-like basis allowing for the acquisition of Spanoptic Ltd.).



G&H continues to progress its strategic objective to move up the value chain in order to meet its growth targets and is actively pursuing a number of opportunities at the sub-system and system level. With applications ranging from satellite communications to consumer electronics, these opportunities have been the focus of research and new product development activities during the past six months. Investment in R&D has increased to accelerate these projects and to continue the expansion of the Systems Technology Group (STG). As previously announced, the STG has been successful in attracting both contracts and funding from the European Space Agency, the European Union as well as from mainstream commercial customers.



In addition to pursuing top line growth, G&H is streamlining its operations in order to deliver operational efficiencies, margin improvement and enhanced competitiveness. At the end of March 2014 G&H closed its small R&D operation in New Jersey and transferred the equipment and technology to its facility in Orlando. The Company will continue to explore ways of delivering further operational efficiency.





Gareth Jones, Chief Executive of Gooch & Housego commented: -



"By focusing on sub-system opportunities we aim to leverage our excellence in photonic components to deliver growth and add value in a somewhat lacklustre market, while delivering margin improvements through enhanced operational efficiency. These ongoing initiatives will help underpin G&H's growth and future prospects."

If you are still there, the crystals are still growing, but perhaps a little slowly.

Well here's one: hxxp://moneyextra.uk-wire.com/Article.aspx?id=201311260700048903T

It announces the takeover of Costelex which has not costalot (sorry about that) but could be a very useful acquisition.

"...For G&H, the value of Constelex lies in its proven capability in photonic systems for space applications, its relationships with satellite manufacturers and space agencies and its participation in a number of product development contracts and R&D funded programmes. The objective of these activities is to develop and demonstrate next generation systems applicable to satellite communications. By working in collaboration with satellite manufacturers there is a clear route to commercial exploitation of the technology. Participation of Constelex in development contracts and R&D programmes means that Constelex will be self-financing as part of G&H.

The acquisition of Constelex is aligned with G&H's strategic objective of moving up the value chain by leveraging its leadership in components to develop a higher-added-value capability at the sub-systems and systems level. In February this year G&H established the Systems Technology Group (STG) at its Torquay, UK, facility to function as a separate business unit with a remit to design, develop and prototype systems-level products. The objective was to build a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in mechanical, electronic and software design and modelling and to integrate these technologies with G&H's expertise in photonics."

The Constelex team are relocating from Athens to Torquay and I sincerely hope none of them gets lost on the way because they sound a clued up outfit.

By all metrics GHH are seriously overvalued at this point. I hate to think what PP would have to say in his small cap value analysis. Nevertheless there are acorns here that could well become the oaks of tomorrow and my residual holding is staying where it is.
I might change my mind though if this board suddenly sprang to life. ;-)

Further growth in the company with the opening of an extension to their Torquay facilities by Vince Cable. All bodes well and recent share price movement is reflecting this.

Today's announcement of the takeover of Spanoptic looks a very good move.



Amazing how many small hi-tec companies there are flying under the radar. GHH has the ability to integrate this into its own optics business and give the products greater world-wide visibility. The share price has looked up with events for some time, but IMO the shares are worth tucking away and forgetting for a few years.
PS. A near moribund board without hype is another good sign.

thought this would fit here nicely - their interim results that came out today handily packaged as an audio thing. hxxp://www.brrmedia.co.uk/event/112438/

Pretty impressive interims, all things considered, as well as an increased dividend - but no reaction in the share price.
Time to top up before tomorrow's press notice its value!

Thanks for that and hope the statement is excellent as every penny will put quite a bit in my pocket too having held throughout and also traded GHH for the past 11 years.
Will have to rise early tomorrow to see what happens.

Every 1p on the shareprice in the 30 days from Dec 7th puts over 30k quid in the pockets of a small group of managers.

These guys have every incentive to put out a good statement. We already know that the actual results will be "in-line" - but a good forward looking statement could easily take us over 500p & add 1.5m quid to the managers LTIP valuation.

Noticed a little buying today (and no selling) ahead of tomorrow's results.
Are they just optimists or can we really expect some good figures?
What do others think?

I'm one of those quiely holding & expecting the management to let off a few firecrackers over the next 6 months or so.

GHH have an LTIP which will fully reward top management uwith p to 12m GBP of stock if they get the share price to 600p by next March. That's a pretty big incentive to deliver a couple of good trading statements & a great set of Finals in the near future.
