I'm a 20+ year holder, Halma has been a proven share with YoY divi increases. Never really set the world on fire....until today! |
Dividend increased by a least 5% in each of last 45 years.The compounding effect of that is fantastic. |
Results out; Revenue up 10%, Earnings up 8% and Divi up 7%, this is such a dull share.... |
most of my best shares have the quietest forums. Love Halma, renew & Diploma! |
Its £22 a share and unfashionable, most of the chat is in fad or penny shares. |
Wad, agree but then again the last post on the Amazon thread was 8 months ago and they’ve added over $400 billion of market cap since then! I’ve no idea why nobody is discussing stocks like Amazon. |
TU last week was in line. Bizarre that a technology stock that actually makes money has such a quiet BB. Still underwater here having acquired in 2021 , but suspect will get back in the blue this year. |
Dividend payment date 2/2/24 |
Results look good no bid surprises |
another acquisition |

Xd 12.3p next week. |
Divi up 7% will be welcomed by some |
Revenues up but statutory profit down because an exceptional item did not repeat and so the share price goes down. I'd say this was a buying opportunity for an unglamorous plodder. |
Jittery market, any slight indication of something not as planned or positive gets a huge mark down. Great time to buy as Halma have always been a strong and efficient company. The future remains bright. |
Just how the market is likely to react on the day to results has become a mystery. |
Might get my chance here soon... |
We have made a positive start to the new financial year. We have a strong order book, and order intake in the year to date is broadly in line with revenue and ahead of the comparable period last year. Based on current market conditions, we expect to deliver good organic constant currency(7) revenue growth in the year ahead, and Return on Sales(4) to increase to approximately 20%. We are well positioned to make further progress this year and in the longer term." |
The acquisitions keep on coming....interesting synergies with some existing investee companies too. |
Staring to do some work here. Valuation is only obstacle . The operational side is very appealing . |
looks like the purchase of Thermocable has been warmly welcomed by the market |
..... Halma fell 6.3 per cent, or 143p, to 2128p after UBS downgraded the safety equipment maker’s rating to ‘neutral’ from ‘buy’ and reduced the target price to 2470p from 3300p. |
Looks like a lot of buying from over the pond? |
