Nice finish today - working its way back up towards 600

This is one of very few stocks that can be described as solid given the current world malaise. I've had a bit of a downer on it at times in the past but now of course wish I'd bought more when it was around £4! My tp still £6. Faith in the management counts for a lot.

Tiger they are really busy they have got some new contracts interviewing for new drivers nationwide

[harrogate] 16/2/2024 15:58

7% now! I see this moving to 6% gradually- think needs the pension buyout and another set of results to show everyone the 36p is here to stay. That would get us to £6.

[castleford tiger] 16/2/2024 15:12

7.5% yield and upside still
What’s not to like

Congrats to HSP holders.
Nice % rise from 400p. Sadly I didn't hold during that time. But been doing ok elsewhere.
If it were ever to fall back a bit I might get back in, but the high divi might stop any notable fall back.

A dangerous thing to say!!

"5 Small Cap Stars To Buy Today"

Hargreaves Services
(HSP) 475p
Market cap: £155 million

Whereas some of the other companies in this
feature are mainly about growth, Hargreaves
Services (HSP) is an asset-backed income play.
The firm has a core infrastructure services
business, a land business and a large stake in a
German industrial materials business.
The bulk of its revenue comes from the
infrastructure side where it provides earthworks,
mechanical and electrical services to major
water and electricity companies, as well as
working on HS2.
It is also a preferred partner to Balfour Beatty
(BBY) on the Lower Thames Crossing project, and
it is the only contractor on site at the Sizewell C
nuclear power plant in Suffolk.
The land business owns large former brownfield
sites which it upgrades and sells to developers, who
go on to build houses, industrial, logistics or retail
warehouse assets and renewable energy projects.
After a flat first half of 2023, activity has picked
up significantly among the housebuilders and
commercial activity is also increasing.
Finally, Hargreaves owns 49.9% of the equity in –
but the right to 86% of the earnings from – HRMS,
a raw materials business in Germany which trades
industrial materials, makes carbon and recycles
ferrous metals.
Using a sum-of-the-parts valuation approach,
we believe the business is worth around 800p per
share, nearly 70% more than its current market
value and slightly above the 770p figure achieved
by analysts at Singer Capital Markets using a
similar process.
We estimate the services business is worth
around £100 million or 300p per share, the land
business – where the assets are held at book cost
– is worth another £100 million, or 300p per share,
and the German unit has a book value of £67
million or 200p per share, excluding any
profits generated.
Obviously realising this value will take time, but
in the meantime, investors have the comfort of a
fully covered 36p annual dividend which equates to
a 7.5% yield. [IC]

Making progress

[harrogate] 07/2/2024 15:17

Downing have sold over 700k shares per their holding RNSs. Maybe selling more. With that I think the price has done pretty well

[daisylove] 07/2/2024 14:29

Hmm. A resistance seems to have formed at around that level in recent days.
Tempting to bag a little profit but will be hanging on until £6 and then see.

[harrogate] 07/2/2024 13:57

Definitely in demand. Can sell a decent chunk at 4.89.

[harrogate] 05/2/2024 08:25

Well not quite. It is draft and being reviewed by TW to see it covers what they need. Then it will go out for public consultation. Although they are looking to approve it says. Good news though and fingers crossed

Tungsten west have the permit

[castleford tiger] 02/2/2024 08:59

remind me how many coal plants opened in China last year?

We are being driven out of competative manufacturing by fixed energy costs

food will be the next great shortage

[mexico man] 01/2/2024 19:40

£15 be better like the days when coal was king

[daisylove] 01/2/2024 14:08

Don't be greedy. £6 would be good.
