Do we know when results are due guys?

Recruiter Hays (HAS) impressed with a record quarterly net fee performance in the three months to the end of March, and anticipated full year profits to hit the top range of market expectations.

Added back shares sold around 75p.

Well DBAY have bought these aggressively since the Trading Update of 3rd Mar - 2 RNSs have indicated they have gone from a NIL holding to 17% with the most recent related to an increase of 4.5m shares bought @ 72p on 24th Mar. I would imagine they might be interested in buying more sub-70p.

Regardless, I have just topped up with a few more. Perhaps the price is being worked down for DBAY?

[thorpematt] 13/4/2017 12:23

Yes!

I could write an essay on this chart pattern we are seeing here. In almopst all cases this is a gretaplace to top up or buy in BUT for many it's an area which they sell into to.

[gleach23] 12/4/2017 20:48

agree NTV - I like to top up in these periods of drift - did so earlier and will do so again if it drops - I'll feel lucky if I get any in the 63/64 area ;)

[ntv] 12/4/2017 17:40

a top up op coming as share price drifts as we approach final results
63/64p area?

[topvest] 29/3/2017 20:28

Yes, DBAY are snapping up a big holding. It's going to put them in play, I think. Was thinking of selling out, but I think its better keeping on board for now.

[keevo] 29/3/2017 16:31

had a limit in for some at 76p. they were snapped up. DBAY appear to be building a sizeable stake

[gleach23] 28/3/2017 18:10

Cheers GP...let's hope they keep building their stake!

[gingerplant] 28/3/2017 17:20

DBAY over 17% now.

[heapos] 27/3/2017 16:47

NTV Creston was at 70p when they made their bid at £1.25 + a 1.4 divi pr share. Different companies though - and like i said, it will never happen anyway.

[ntv] 27/3/2017 16:34

Heapos
i think 80p take out price as there are are of long term holders that would glad to cash in
so going for 10% premium on the last large trade at 72p
just got to be patient and enjoy the large dividend

[heapos] 27/3/2017 08:58

NTV - so assuming that they are intending to build a stake and then make a bid (which will never happen in my opinion) you are suggesting that the top price they would pay is 80p..4p more than current price?

[gleach23] 25/3/2017 14:00

If it was the case, they'd have to build a stake first? They were invested in Creston for 2 years before making a bid. They only appeared on the scene here this month with an 11% stake that has potentially increased to 16%?

[ntv] 25/3/2017 13:21

Looking that way if they are the buyers
won't be much of a premium though so guessing around 80p max

[slade123] 25/3/2017 08:22

Get ready for a bid probably from DBAY.
Just like CRESTON bid.

[ntv] 24/3/2017 17:10

over 5% changed hands today at 72p
DBAY adding to their holding and standard life sold out ??

[heapos] 22/3/2017 11:06

happy with the bunch i bought at 66p..have bought some more.

[thorpematt] 21/3/2017 19:09

mmmm, a tidy looking chart now I have to say.

[gleach23] 21/3/2017 11:34

some decent buying this morning...

[topvest] 20/3/2017 20:40

Yes, this is running up fast now. Looking at the chart the 50 day moving average line has now made a definitive cross-over the 200 day moving average line. Stockopedia score is high. Large final dividend coming up. I bought this at 59.4p but will probably sell ahead of the final dividend, price permitting. Not a long-term investment for me as I don't like the sector much, but no real downside until the outlook statement / the shares go xd. Bought because they were cheap, had a high QVM score and fat dividend yield which was unlikely to be cut short-term.

[gleach23] 20/3/2017 14:24

Nice move today...having been preparing itself for a couple of weeks for this, hopefully the share price will move on through the 70s in fairly short order...

[speedsgh] 15/3/2017 21:06

Since 2017, edmund?! Never realised you were such a short termer ;-)

[edmundshaw] 15/3/2017 17:39

For myself, I am a tad overweight in these at the moment. I have held these since 2017 at varying levels, so naturally I have been a fairly happy holder in the main.

Oops, 2007, not 2017!
