Halma Share Discussion Threads

[epo001] 17/6/2021 12:35

Some 'analyst' has decided that the valuation was a bit rich (but put their target price up anyway). They note that other similar companies are on lower valuations possibly, just possibly, because they are not as high quality? Excluding covid, Halma's price trend has been higher highs and higher lows for many years now. Not sure I'd buy more but I am a contented holder.

B significant drop today but I cant see any reason unless it was a big profit take

[buffetteer] 10/6/2021 11:38

Well done epo001 you must have bought a long time ago because my yield on cost is 5% & i bought 10 years ago but the real benefit is 8x share price in that time.

[epo001] 10/6/2021 09:45

Didn't original buy it for the divi but have held it for so long that the yield is now 12.7% of my purchase costs. One of those "never seen a reason to sell" shares, hope GAW joins it in a decade or so.

Results don't look too shabby, divi up 7% (not that any of us bought this for income). Market liked the numbers. Then they didn't.

What does this late huge buy actually mean?

[milesy] 05/4/2021 12:24

Halma is like a well managed thematic fund/ ETF in its own right, really gathering momentum in the last 10 years...long may it continue.

[epo001] 05/4/2021 11:52

My oldest holding and 11% of my ISA. Had it for so long that I had forgotten exactly when (mid to late 90s, for my PEP) and why I bought it. Am currently using lockdown to review each of my holdings and those on my watch list to ensure that everything is in place for a good reason. This is helpful.

Really good Presentation by Halma, thanks a lot

Why no one here!!!!

[stockpirate] 11/2/2021 16:09

They have yes, BTGPLC previously. Do this mean its good time to invest?

[miss womble] 11/2/2021 12:30

That is more than sizable What does that mean? I believe that some of the companies that she has been involved with have been taken over !!!

[wfcreserves] 10/2/2021 23:47

Good to see the chair designate make a sizeable purchase of 10k shares. Shows confidence ongoing.

[elmfield] 10/1/2021 18:33

One of the best companies you could have held since the eighties!

[yump] 10/1/2021 18:26

I had these a long, long time ago and I actually can't remember what I did with them, other than I got a good profit, after they were recommended by a broker very early on when they were small. Think I might have used the proceeds in business.

[yertiz] 10/1/2021 16:21

Post 367...I am still here, Halma a stalwart of my portfolio and a consistent performer. Sold a number in March before Covid really hit hard and bought a few k's worth in October albeit at a higher price than my sale. My prediction of £30+ this year made in 2019 still stands.

[yump] 09/1/2021 20:13

It doesn’t say much for ADVFN’s userbase’s stock picking ability, that there are only 365 posts here in a company that has such great share price growth since 2009 !

[arja] 09/1/2021 17:52

lovely uptrending chart and NOR situation . But wonder why as the p/e is about 50 I think - investors must think it is a growth situation !

We have had a good start to the second half, with order intake ahead of revenue and up on the same period last year. Our improving trading performance, together with our strong cash position, will enable us to accelerate strategic investments in the second half of the year. As a result of our progress so far this year, we now expect Adjusted profit before tax for FY 2020/21 to be around 5% below FY 2019/20, compared to prior guidance of 5% to 10% below FY 2019/20.
