Posted at 20/5/2003 08:37 by alex69 LONDON (AFX) - Hacas Group PLC said it is confident of exceeding its revenuetargets for the year as a whole after it raised first half pretax profit by 43 pct. It said improved performance has continued in the second half which will include a full six months contribution from SDP Regeneration Services. The group also said that following the announcement made on May 16, discussions are continuing which may lead to an offer being made for the group. Pretax profit in the six months to March 31 2003 was 2.39 mln stg, up from 1.68 mln, on turnover of 8.14 mln compared with 6.82 mln. Earnings per share grew to 5.56 pence from 3.87 pence and the interim dividend was hiked 26 pct to 0.85 pence from 0.675 pence a year earlier. newsdesk@afxnews.com slm/ |

Posted at 25/6/2001 20:27 by wildrover Hacas non-exec cashes in on recovery A non-executive director of social housing and consultancy Hacas Group has sold down his holding just over a month after selling 340,000 to institutional investors and exercising options on 1 million shares. Richard Wollenberg pocketed £52,500 on Friday when he sold 50,000 shares at 105p each. This reduces his holding in the £31 million company to 1.5 million shares or 5.1%. Last month Citywire reported members of the board of Hacas had sold 800,000 shares between them to satisfy institutional and private client investor demand. Wollenberg was the biggest seller that day with 340,000 shares going for £323,000 with chairman Julian Ashby, managing director Derek Joseph and company secretary Jeffrey Zitron selling 140,000 each and executive director Peter Chapman offloading 40,000. At the same time Wollenberg exercised options on 1 million shares. Hacas (HCS) has seen its share price recover strongly of late after a slump in April. It began the year with a high of 112.5p in late January before falling back to a low of 80.5p in the first week of April. It has recovered well since then and today stands unchanged on 104.5p. One shrewd investor is hanging on to its stake in Hacas for the time being. The Framlington Innovative Growth investment trust (FIT), managed by Brian Watson and Chris Bell, holds 1.225 million shares or 4.43%. Hacas provides consultancy, research and funding services to local authorities, housing associations and government departments. Last year it enjoyed a 67% rise in pre-tax profits at £1.6 million and doubled sales to £5.76 million. |
Posted at 14/5/2001 14:00 by chester Check their results out !! Get on board. Nice chart too. |
Posted at 10/5/2001 08:24 by chester Up 10% in a month. The chart still looks healthy. Looking to re-test old highs. |
Posted at 27/2/2001 20:24 by alex69 HCS has doubled over the past 12 months, not in the past fortnight, and they are building a very solid business, as most who've checked it out would say.Support on the trend channel is at 94p, until that is broken the chart is *very* bullish. If 94 goes we could be set for a wedge. With what I hear I doubt that will happen anyway. This does not mean everyone should buy into it. DYOR and judge for yourself. PS: I wasn't asked to comment on JUS but the support level of the upward channel has now been broken and as it often happens with sky rocket rises things could turn sour easily. Again, DYOR, I'm not suggesting to short those - just stating the facts. |
Posted at 12/1/2001 08:05 by dil They also had enough cash to pay a dividend of over 10% but instead only increased it by 9% to 1.2p .This suggest that they feel cash will be better used to enlarge the group as detailed above . Dil |

I am confident that we will be able to maintain good progress through the year." Extract from MD's statement : "Operating margins are being maintained or improved over all our areas of activity.

The Group has no borrowings and bad debts continue at minimal levels." EPS came in over 20% higher than forecast and this was after forecasts had been upgraded in August.
