Great move and breakout on Friday - shame these are so illiquid and never give a pull back to buy on, would have added had they done that. Stuck with too few in my pension really :-(

Stil, adds a bit to the value of the pension each week if only little.

Well, well, well. Now £16 to sell. Who'd have believed it.

Still great value. Keep the faith.

Has anyone seen any articles or research? I haven't. Perhaps someone has reread the company's Q1 results.

[alexisk] 18/10/2012 08:59

Forging ahead now to new all-time high

[alexisk] 11/9/2012 12:13

Yes, more great results. Onwards and upwards we go.

[cockneyrebel] 11/9/2012 08:12

Q1 profits up over 50% - wow !

Agree - great results. The comments re possibly developing capacity for involvement in carbon capture recovery and storage look particularly interesting.

[cockneyrebel] 27/7/2012 11:06

Fabulous results announced today - bought back in today.

They had good orders last year, but problems shipping finished stuff out of the door. I hope the Chairman's comment means the Board thinks they can ship efficiently (and profitably) this year.

They are a funny bunch this lot


09 March 2012

Goodwin PLC today announces its third quarter Interim Management Statement for the period 1(st) November 2011 to 31(st) January 2012.

The consolidated, abbreviated and unaudited income statement below for the nine months' trading ending 31(st) January 2012 shows revenue of GBP83,877,000 and profit before taxation of GBP8,918,000.

The order input so far this financial year is more than 20% up as compared to last year and the Board are optimistic that the Group's performance in the last quarter of this financial year will be better than last year.

Yes! Great results today. Goodwin are back on track.

[westcountryboy] 18/9/2011 15:52

Maybe, but margins are below 10% for the first time since they started to report quarterly earnings in 2007-8. Q1 profits have been higher in each of the last three years. Also it's not clear how they get from the quarterly to the full year figures, since there was nothing wrong with the first three quarters' figures released last year.

[alexisk] 12/9/2011 17:09

Can't see much wrong with the 1st qtr results announced today -- revenue is up over 21% compared with same period last year, though pre-tax profits are down a little and EPS is more or less the same. Looks like the hit to profits around Q3/4 of last year may just have been a temporary blip. With their investments in growing economies, I'd expect these to start motoring ahead again before too long.

[gopher] 12/9/2011 16:42

Earnings much the same but turnover up so slightly encouraging

[davidosh] 02/9/2011 16:46

I am not a holder but I think it looks safer to wait for the Q1 announcement to see if there is any improvement before investing again. If the earnings do not improve or worsen from here then this share price will collapse IMO especially in the current jittery markets.

[gopher] 02/9/2011 15:06

share price has held up much better than I had expected this week, IC has downgraded to fairly priced with a watch from the sidelines stance.

[jimmy tarbuck] 30/8/2011 12:15

Admittedly not the set of results we all wanted. However, looking at the Chairman's statement, there is plenty of hope for the future. I have a feeling the profits will bounce back in the not too distant future.

For now it looks as though the price will drift for a little while. It's worth noting there will be an interim management report next month for Q1 of the new financial year.

[gopher] 30/8/2011 07:53

100% agree with the above and I am now out, lucky they are not really analyst covered. FTSE 350 manufacturers have been hammered this month and they have delivered pleasing results.

[courant] 26/8/2011 14:15

Yuck! I've sold out completely: it may well be that their businesses will show good long-term growth, and that their investment in the business will prove to be well rewarded. However, given the current price, and with the world facing the prospect of an economic slowdown, there's too much downside risk in this for me. One for the watchlist!

[darlocst] 26/8/2011 12:04

"the analyst community" - lol. Its covered by zero analysts!

GDWN has looked expensive to me over the past 12 months and even after the fall today is still well above where I'd be happy to buy.

[craffert] 26/8/2011 10:20

Ouch...now that's a profit warning.

Also mention made of problems with cash generation and debt leverage being higher than they would like. Basically they invested too heavily ahead of an anticipated global upturn which has failed to materialise for most parts of their business. Result: a bad set of results.

The Goodwin balloon could pop badly as these results are digested by the analyst community. A solid global upturn will be needed to save the day as they have upped their cost base to invest for growth that isn't materialising. Disappointing.

Seldom seen coverage in Shares magazine this week rates them a family firm buy

[jimmy tarbuck] 07/6/2011 16:20

Just about at the all-time high now. Still can't find a safer investment out there.

Lock these away in an ISA and rest easy at night-time. We aren't talking banks, property cos, internet stocks or any such rubbish here.....

[westcountryboy] 28/3/2011 07:42

It actually reached 1400p in May 2008 - but close!

[kneecaps2] 28/3/2011 07:21

THIS IS ALL TIME HIGH!
