Snow, its gone up 35% in 6 weeks. Its still the same company that EKT wanted to offer 25p for less than a year ago. I just don't see the justification for the rise, I know they had a good 6 months after a down turn but i cant see why that is sustainable.I am worried this price is based on that 6 months and not the future.
I don't hold, i don't have an axe to grind, its just a personal opinion and i hope i am wrong.

I think they will be good and i still think there is a chance that EKT want them. Circa 90/100p may do it eh!

Snow

think its 22nd for numbers from Tiger on iii

Possibly because of the threat of the EKT stake lurking in the background, Jonny, which could be unloaded at any time.

Disappointed that we haven't had the results released yet, I felt certain that we were going to get an 'early' announcement last week. Perhaps I've set my sights too high and the figures are not going to be as scintillating as I was hoping. Maybe it might be time for a strategy rethink.

[jonny_ducati] 14/6/2010 08:15

Point taken Snowman, but if thats the case why is HTH shareprice STILL so low?

[snowman10] 11/6/2010 14:05

Jonny

They make 1.2 million and you value it at 10x earnings its worth 12 million.

Which is 150p a share..............

market average is about 14x earnings.

I agree ansc, it's good to see share price finally climbing on the prospect of good results...but snowman : 150p!!! mabybe in a few decades.

[snowman10] 11/6/2010 08:14

Still at least 20% upside and maybe more when we see the numbers next week.

keep buying for a short term profit and long term can see 150p ish

It didn't take much 'buying' to get this shooting for the stars earlier on. And look at the spread now, in reality 73.88p/75p. There must be good news on the way ... surely.

Annual results announced on 18th June last year. Good news, and we know HTH's results are going to be (comparatively) good, tends to travel fast on the stock market so could we possibly get an announcement sometime this week?

Those investors who bought in just over a year ago at sub 20p, when all was gloom and doom, must be feeling pretty chuffed.

[mail2] 01/6/2010 19:26

wowee after about 3yr in profit.

[snowman10] 01/6/2010 12:35

New ground today............at 70p to buy,

This is looking good to go to 100p.

A shame about today's lift. I will have money available in a fortnight's time and some of it was going to be targeted at HTH.

On to plan B!

Lets continue our discussions.

No bids right now and the price is going up. Why is that.
I think 16p eps is on the cards and a big increase in the DIVI.
This has to be worth much more than 100p
Tiger has been buying from the 40¬s and today the sells are buys the last one at 63p moved the price up to 65p.

not melting so fast right now

[ansc] 10/5/2010 08:58

Relieved to see that announcement! I put my head in the noose when deciding to stay on board whatever the result of the bid (failed) discussions but it looks as though it might prove to have been a reasonable decision.

Looking forward to the results now!

[davidcod] 10/5/2010 08:53

Should get a final dividend.

[zico01] 10/5/2010 08:30

Astaire Securities was forcasting eps of 12.80 say a conservative upgrade to 14.0 @62p it is trading on pe of less than 4.5 . @ £1.20 it will still be under pe of 9

Jan Holmstrom remains as a Non-Executive Director.

Geoff Spink, commented: "The Board would like to thank David Kempton for his valuable contribution to Hartest during the past eight years. We wish him well for the future. We welcome David Leeming, who joins at a pivotal moment for Hartest. David has a wealth of experience, and will bring a new approach to the strategic development of the Group."
