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

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 !!!

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

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

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.

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.

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 !

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.

Surprise! The day after I enquired it turns up in my account. You have to watch these people like a hawk. Thanks jonut and jamtin.

[jamtin] 06/10/2020 12:55

epo001, I received my divi via HL on the 1st October. Don't see why HL would have received it but iWeb haven't.

[epo001] 06/10/2020 12:39

Thank you.

[jonut] 06/10/2020 10:47

epo001,

Statement from final accounts,

The final dividend for 2020 is subject to approval by shareholders at the AGM on 4 September 2020 and is EXPECTED TO BE PAID on 1 October 2020 to shareholders on the register as at 28 August 2020.

My caps; may explain the delay. Approved at AGM

[epo001] 06/10/2020 10:13

So, 4th working day after dividend payment and iWeb say they haven't yet received it from the company. Anyone had the money credited to their account yet?

Not a life changing sum but it keeps my spreadsheet tidy.

Any views on this update today?

A nice writeup, found via Richard Beddard's twitter feed

Back in at a shade under £18, but only at 30% of my previous holding... Halma is and always has been a top quality company, and as Buffetteer states, waiting for the next opportunity to buy back may take a very long time! Any further weakness, as well there may be if Covid reaches phase 2, then I'll reload with another 30 - 50% worth.

[buffetteer] 10/4/2020 16:58

battcoup - don’t you get it - v good companies are expensive ! You’ll be waiting forever if you didn’t take this opportunity at 17-19 to buy in .
Watch Terry Smith AGM if you need convincing.

- Yertiz, Why do you think £14.0 is a good entry? HLMA has been on my watch list for a while (years). Every time I look it, p/e seems very high.

[yertiz] 30/3/2020 14:49

I'm still sitting on my hands and great profits made in Halma, Ashtead, Melrose etc etc. Sold out from everything in mid-Feb and to date would be nursing a 56% drop in my portfolio had I not. This means I have a huge amount of cash doing nothing, but much more preferable than having shares that are still losing. I'll bide my time, watch the signs, consult the crystal ball and repurchase when I think the time is right.

I had held Halma (alliteration...!) for over 10 years, since they were £3.25 or thereabouts and sold 50% at £22, the rest at £19.75. I will buy them back once my target of £14 is reached, or at the end of June when the light at the end of the Covid tunnel will be a little brighter (whichever comes first!).

IMHO, this crisis will kill off companies of all sizes in the next 3 months, those that survive will feed off the remains of the perished and become bigger, stronger and more streamlined and efficient in their operations. When the recovery starts, it will begin with huge rises in values - but I still don't think now is anywhere near that time. Good luck.
