Posted at 25/11/2011 17:19 by alter ego Investors Chronicle page 12 says rivals are circling and suggests 875p to outbid Wartsila |
Posted at 19/11/2011 09:16 by bothdavis Agree entirely alter ego, even at £825 it undervalues the company if you look eighteen months/two years into the future. Unfortunately a lot of investors are short term, however if investing for your pension then the sensible thing is to invest, reinvest dividends and leave well alone, obviously keep an eye on announcements etc but this reinvestment strategy still works today. Lets hope a bidding war starts and we realise the potential for this very well run company. |
Posted at 18/11/2011 12:34 by alter ego I agree with the cyclicality argument and am grateful Wartsilla didn't make their move 18 months ago. However, as a LTBH type investor, cycles are part of life and provide opportunity for top ups so long as the underlying business has a good future. I've been an investor in HMY since 2004 and have watched it grow in that time. The growth isn't about to peak anytime soon IMO. |
Posted at 18/11/2011 11:43 by alter ego I'm not just "quite sorry" to see them go, I'm very disappointed to be losing such a high quality stock from my portfolio. This is one which I had hoped would continue to grow year by year and become a much larger company with a correspondingly much higher market cap. Finding high quality stocks in the small cap sector is never easy so losing one as good as HMY is a real problem for investors in this space. Whilst £8.25 might look tempting today, especially if you simply trade for a quick buck, my bet is that it would look measly a few years down the line - which is no doubt exactly why Wartsilla are bidding.Given the strong position the company are in, I find it hard to see the logic of accepting a bid now. Short termism will no doubt win out again though. |

Posted at 09/8/2010 08:47 by alter ego Piedro, thank you, it makes very interesting reading. Are you in the shipping business? You seem able to locate information I cannot as a mere investor. I'm pleased to hear that the response to the Krystallon technology is being well received. I'm sure there's a huge market to be supplied. It's particularly noteworthy that HMY are stressing the value of their expertise in helping to integrate all the kit they are able to supply with the ship design and layout. It provides added value and allows cross selling opportunities. You may know already that HMY will be at SMM in Hamburg next month - there's another post about this over at which takes your previous link to their press release as its source. If you have any comments on it you are very welcome to post them. It would be good to share any knowledge you have with folks who read that message board too if you feel so inclined. |
Posted at 05/10/2009 06:52 by alter ego slap, you're probably right about profitability of acquistions or at least in thinking they may not have been making much profit. That's where the synergy bit comes in and being part of HMY opens up opportunities. The Baltic Design Centre would never have had a sniff of work on Chinese ships or with Petrobras in Brazil. The water/oil separator unit they bought from Aibel never made money because it was small beer for Aibel and they didn't market it effectively. Greenships will definitely do better with HMY connections to some major shipyards than they would have on their own. Serck Como certainly looks an astute purchase and is enlivening the water division. Short term I don't see much to excite the share price but as a long term investor I'm prepared to wait and collect the dividend while they develop the business. When the world economy starts to fire on all cylinders I believe HMY will be well placed to benefit. |
Posted at 02/10/2009 16:09 by alter ego Slowing orders should be no surpise to anyone really but HMY are taking advantage of this climate to pick up businesses that will provide plenty of growth going forward. Plenty of cash in the bank, a spares business that is growing fast and very profitably, world class products, demand driven in part by environmental legislation, a first class reputation and a presence close to Chinese shipyards all give comfort. Ok so this year is not going to be much to shout about but that's not peculiar to HMY. Traders may turn their noses up but investors with an eye to the future can afford to be more patient. wasn't it Jesse Livermore who said something along the lines of sitting and waiting had made him more money than buying and selling? |
Posted at 09/7/2009 13:35 by investinggarden Hamworthy continues offshore drive - news article from Growth Company Investor |
Posted at 28/11/2008 17:03 by clogue Watched the action for the last 40 minutes or so and was very pleased indeed.I think we can take it that at least one market maker has run out of cheap stock as they had to pay 200p at the end. The large buys must have cleared out all of the remaining overhang and any positive press comment at the weekend might see a bit of a squeeze. Very impressive that there was no real selling given that it was the end of the week and we've just had a 25% rally from the lows. The market makers tried their usual trick of marking the price down and opening up the spread when they were short of stock and this usually panics private investors into rushing to try and hold onto their gains. Delighted to see that HMY investors are made of strong stuff and the mms seemed to have paid 200p to complete the large sell at 200p. On a technical note, the price is now crossing up through the 20 day moving average and this is the first time since August. If the rally continues next week we could have the 50 day in our sights which would be very bullish. |
