this company does not give out much news but contiues to increase its dividends. and share price should follow

I remain a buyer even though we are at a higher level, should reward those that have time to wait.

[elmfield] 09/12/2010 09:13

hold on to your safety valve? LOL!
going to buy some more.

[elmfield] 07/12/2010 18:22

I think continued above average growth to come, and who knows what else might be on the cards, either way I am staying put.

elm.. I notice that the forecast EPS (about 20) is significantly higher than the usual steady increase year on year.
Do you have a view on why this might be?

one of the very few companies which I have recommmmended to friends, stella long term gold, always has been always will be!

Very good results this morning and that fickle fellow Mr. M marks the price down. Divi about 2.7%.
Rude not to buy some more.

Depends on your timeframe imo.

Some of the large global engineering stocks like Melrose(MRO)
look far better value short term on 2011 PER's, imv.

money week say getting pricey
i'm betting against and think this is a long term growth story

[arja] 13/9/2010 07:47

a wonderful share price graph over 18 months, if only my entire portfolio was like this

They do supply the Oil Industry.
They have 3 Companies in the Industrial Safety sector.

I have spoken to the MD of the PR Dept at Halma and am awaiting
clarification on this.

[wjccghcc] 10/6/2010 13:16

Don't think so. Aren't they more to do with building safety than the oil/gas industry?

[essentialinvestor] 10/6/2010 08:02

Is anyone aware if Halma were supplying safety equipment to BP?.

[cnx] 26/5/2010 01:55

essential

do you know how the sales value is split?

UK %
ASIA %
USA %
EU %

[essentialinvestor] 23/5/2010 11:25

This will be bought back aggressively on any snap back in the markets imv.

Halma's forward PER of just over 13.5x, when Rotork's PER is 17.

That gap will close quickly imo.

[essentialinvestor] 19/5/2010 08:49

Bought some HLMA this morning.

Halma trades on a 25% discount to Rotork(ROR).

Full year results in June, which the Market knows will be very strong
given the recent ahead of expectations TS.

Throws off cash, may be worth watching at the very least.

[essentialinvestor] 15/5/2010 13:02

Begins to look interesting if this drifts back a bit imv.

[essentialinvestor] 19/4/2010 10:00

I would have thought that alot of Halma's product and compononts are
transported by air, and Halma still derive a good deal for profit from the UK.

If the no fly zone continues, it may be worth bearing in mind.

[essentialinvestor] 25/3/2010 08:10

Perhaps some taking profits with the end of the Tax Year in sight.

[essentialinvestor] 24/3/2010 10:34

Beginning to sell off, may be just Shorter term weakness,
provided the Markets hold.

Its come up sharply from the 225 level,
so may retrace some of that gain.
