Good company and very cheap, but very frustrated with these constant own goals which keep knocking the share price. First, the failure to keep brokers updated with the correct forecasts leading to a completely unnecessary profit warning. Now the failure to explain the rationale for this acquisition - presumably there must be some logic behind it, but from reading the RNS alone looks an odd deal, so pretty poor communication. More generally, HAT completely fail to engage with private investors - RFX much stronger on that front. Ideally would like a merger with RFX, with RFX to take over management, although not sure competition authorities would allow this.

Mello have invited the management team to come and do two presentations for the hundreds of Mello investors attending the two day conference in Chiswick in London on the 29th November.

There are over 30 companies engaging with investors and it seems perfect timing for Harvey and Thompson



There are lots of fund managers attending and fab speakers so very worthwhile attending

Hi all (especially NTV and The Cronk)

Firstly, markets are not always rational. They are forward looking, though. With inflation now seemingly under control some investors may just cash in, weakening share price. So, I’m not buying more.

@Aeonflux, I would agree it seems risky, but HAT’s management seem conservative enough that it appears bullish. They’ll know it’s expensive money, but must think it’s worth it. Sounds like pledge book is doing well. Also, Store expansion has always added to bottom line previously.

wad collector - Sure is! Can't spot any specific reason behind it. Reported LSE trading volume today was just under 54,000, which is fairly trivial. And there didn't seem to be any larger than normal trades within that.

Unless some H&T-specific news subsequently emerges, I suspect this is just a case of the share price playing catch up. H&T's prospects were largely being ignored by investors between early Aug & early Oct, with the price remaining tightly rangebound. I couldn't understand why, given the company's last (bullish) TU. So I added just before September's ex div date, when one of my limit orders was triggered as the price briefly dipped to 396p.

Over the last week, there suddenly seems to have been a sea change in sentiment. I doubt this will continue in a straight line up to 500p+. But it wouldn't surprise me at all if we got there by the time/soon after next January's TU is released. Barring a black swan event, H&T is set for a record-breaking full year. In which case, the dividend is also likely to get a significant further boost, given their progressive policy.

Is advfn's very basic fundamentals data in thread headers kept accurate and up to date?

Comparing the company information above with that available on AJ Bell we get a huge difference which is clearly highly misleading to potential investors:

Here are AJ Bells financials for H&T at end 2022:

Normalized EPS: 37.15
PE Ratio: 11.03
Turnover: 174
Profit (net): 15

advfn's figures are misleading and useless.

pugugly - I'm not usually one to quote the Investors Chronicle, as their share tips have a tendency to be - er - chronic! But their article on the back of yesterday's results states "the shares are ... trading below estimated year-end book value of 416p." I guess it depends what you include in - and subtract from - net assets. Anyhow, either way it appears to me a very undemanding valuation at the current share price.

I managed to add some more here today. It was a pretty bleak-looking market in the morning session and everything tends to get dragged down.

The Shore note is very useful and this year's lower forecast is just about the only not-positive metric in it. Most other metrics getting uplifts on the prior forecasts of 7% or higher.

With respect to debt, it is important to consider pledge book as loans. In essence in this apsect of the business (not the retail side etc), but in the loan aspect, you have to treat it like a bank. In essence the business model is to lend to customers at one APR and borrow that money at a cheaper rate (just like a bank).

Looking ahead (as we investors must), there is extraordinary value on offer here. 2024 forecast show a PER of <6 and a divi yeild of 28p (with the comapny policy being a 40% payout ratio) which at this price is 7%

More likely they have shaken out enough weak holders and traders. Onwards and upwards for the patient investors.

Another BOD purchase, though there appears little evidence that director dealing has much predictive value. I am pleased to see that the P/E on the advfn data headers is wrong , as often, and the updated figures are much better.
