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?

[halfpenny] 15/8/2022 09:15

HALMA issues see pullback 2200 then 2000 or less as Staff and input costs like energy take hold and hit ant profits. Waiting for brooker updates !!

Thanks for your posts steeplejack and I share your views.

This isn't the first time that there has been a change of CEO and key personnel.
My first purchase of Halma was around 1998 when they were somewhere around 100 p .

I have been in and out a few times since then and currently am a holder. I only wish I had taken the slow track of "gettingrichslow" !

[roguetraderuk] 16/6/2022 10:08

lt sup is about 16xx so a bit to go before key test

[steeplejack] 16/6/2022 10:00

That's clearly a real consideration but the economic backcloth is paramount.Good quality stocks are getting trashed and whilst its some sort of comfort to point to specifics when companies like Halma,Croda,Dechra etc crash by around 40% from their peaks,i'll opt for the simpleton's view that we're in a bear market.

Steeplejack, I would have thought it’s more to do with the CEO leaving after 18 years?
