Results Friday (afternoon) when all the press has gone home for an early weekend and with a cursory statement ?

[mw8156] 23/12/2006 15:16

What is happening to the proposed take over as recited in the annual statement, I wonder. Think Goodwin could do with a Chinese or far east base for their heavy castings manufacture..

[valhamos] 23/11/2006 15:45

Breakout. Could yet see £8 by year end as predicted by Jimmy Tarbuck in January.

[valhamos] 22/11/2006 18:02

Determined price rise over the last few weeks - through £7.00 level (bid) today and retesting the high after last results.

The talk of aquisitions was the one bit of the results statement that slightly unnerved me, in an 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' kind of way. It also made me wonder if any of the businesses are slowing up and need this kind of add-on growth. However they do seem to be able to manage quite a weird assortment of operations so integrating something new might not be so much of a problem.

On the plus side too, it'll give us some newsflow to look forward to over the year as opposed to the usual information desert we face from one set of results to another...

Excellent results. Also pleased that the directors have felt able to give rather more information (e.g. performance of overseas companies and internet company)in the release than previously. Anybody any ideas on acquisition strategy? Presumably something small, overseas?

[penpont] 25/8/2006 15:51

Yes, good figures and have been well received. I wonder what eps we should expect for the current year - given they've said the valves business is still growing strongly and that everything else seems to be humming along, perhaps 55-60p? Should be good for 750p share price at some point, with more to play for further out.

[jimmy tarbuck] 25/8/2006 15:16

Great results. Only to be expected. Glad I bought more now.

[penpont] 25/8/2006 00:29

Roll on 3pm today then - only Goodwin could get away with releasing results on a Friday afternoon! Hope your optimism is justified JT, I'm holding too.

[jimmy tarbuck] 21/8/2006 21:56

Knowsley,

Your timing may not be as good as you think. I added to my position recently.

Final results out this Friday. I expect good news. Can´t wait..

[mw8156] 03/8/2006 19:35

Does Rotork's results portend good news for Goodwin?

[knowsleyman] 26/7/2006 20:41

Valhamos

My timing is much improved. Sold at 640p.

[jimmy tarbuck] 19/7/2006 00:28

More to come than today. In fact, much more to come.

More red than blue today yet the price rises nearly 6%. There's a buyer in the wings for sure. Could yet see £7 - £8 by the year-end.

Annual results, Friday August 25. Not long to wait.

[valhamos] 18/7/2006 18:14

knowsleyman "..my timing was as bad as it gets."

Not necessarily; your view on your timing is dependant on the timing of your view. From a longer term perspective (a few weeks) with the price at 635p it doesn't look so bad.

[mw8156] 28/5/2006 13:14

Would buy but not certain of the relative contributions of Hoben Goodwin Castings EASAT and the internet business.

[valhamos] 22/5/2006 18:35

TOB Agreed - it's beginning to look interesting. I sold half late last year but looking to buy back if this fall continues. As ever not much information from the company, but growth in demand from petrochemical and LNG industries is not likely to diminish anytime soon. I'd have thought that the company must be getting close to a P/E of 10 for the year just started.

[knowsleyman] 22/5/2006 15:14

Had the praises of this company sung by a friend. All the fundamentals appeared OK so bought at £5.80. Oh dear, oh dear, my timing was as bad as it gets.

[tiredoldbroker] 19/5/2006 18:13

Now a fair bit cheaper than where I was selling, if this carries on I will look to get back in, as I see nothing wrong with the fundamentals. Because the company says so little, I don't know what Mr Horton did as a director, though we know they don't bother with non-execs, but then we don't know his age so he could have gone for all sorts of reasons, from retirement to a bust-up.

[v11slr] 20/3/2006 12:24

Is this departure as abupt as it sounds or was it planned?

Goodwin PLC announces that with effect from 18th March 2006 Mr. Philip J. Horton
has resigned as a Director of the Company.

[jimmy tarbuck] 27/1/2006 19:55

Well, the results speak for themselves.

I can see £8 by the year-end. However, my £5 prediction for last year proved to be too conservative.

TOB, surprised you jumped ship on results day, but if you care to look in, your analysis will always be welcome.

[chester] 27/1/2006 15:49

Wow....CR. Did we need all that info ? May'be a 'link' might be better ?
