It's hard to understand the movement of this share. What inspired today's little spike?

This will ultimately be a cracking recovery play imv.
However, that may not be from this level or anywhere near.

Will further restructuring be needed to strip additional costs out as a result
of weak demand? - my best guess is yes.

One for the watchlist.

If 240p fails, no obvious support level until it reaches 200p

MTG,

The mystery, to me anyway, was why it stayed so high before (see my post #18). It's one of those shares that has always seemd to have a loyal institutional following. Well, until now, anyway!

Headlam tumbling headlong. Lowest since last July.



Conditions remain challenging for Headlam Group
May 18 2010 by Graeme Brown, Birmingham Post

Headlam Group has revealed revenues remain almost exactly the same as last year as conditions remain challenging.

In a trading statement for the first 19 weeks of the year, the Coleshill-based firm said group revenue decreased by 0.1 per cent.

The company, which also announced the appointment of a non-executive director, said the like-for-like performance in the UK decreased by 0.5 per cent.

It said: "Revenue activity for the first 19 weeks of 2010 has been held back by January's performance when adverse weather conditions resulted in UK like for likes being down 6.9 per cent.

"By comparison, the fifteen week trading period excluding January, resulted in the group achieving an overall like for like revenue increase of 2.1 per cent with the UK achieving 2.4 per cent and the businesses in Continental Europe achieving 0.2 per cent.

"Whilst the trading environment remains challenging, our operating strategy continues unchanged and we maintain our belief that the group should achieve its operating objectives for the year."

Collectively, the Continental European businesses registered a reduction in revenue of 0.3 per cent.

An underlying like-for-like increase of one per cent on the continent was diluted by unfavourable currency movement.

The firm also revealed that Andrew Eastgate has been appointed as a non-executive director.

Mr Eastgate, aged 54, was a partner in Pinsents for nearly 20 years until 2004, including being head of Pinsents' corporate practice in Birmingham for more than seven years.

The firm said he "has a broad experience of advising quoted companies, particularly in connection with transactions and compliance issues".

Headlam chairman Graham Waldron said: "We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the board as a non-executive director and look forward to benefiting from his extensive corporate knowledge and expertise."

Well results seem to have been received OK but I'm not sure why! Maybe a halving of profits and divis is considered a 'good' performance in these straitened times.

Today's warning mean that HEAD is likely to be relegated to the SmallCap index next week.

People will be moving less. Therefore they'll be updating their homes more. For the vast majority this credit squeeze is a mild correction to spending and a signal to not enter a scary financial deal. That does not mean that domestic partners will tolerate a shabby floor-covering.

Their approach to the future is to look backwards ie we have done alright over the last 4 months therefore we are going to be OK for the rest of 2008. Sorry, but I don't find that argument very compelling when you read what the house builders are saying. Just have to hope they put in carpets before their houses sit around unsold!

Yes, I'm a long-term holder so I don't want to talk these down but it did strike me as a surprisingly 'robust' statement in the face of what is happening in the macro economy to claim that sustained (but falling) l-4-l growth in the first Quarter could be projected into confidence "of achieving another year of growth". It's also notable that the European figures, which largely support the totals, are mainly currency gains! I hope they're not adopting the myopic stance of the housebuilders who were putting out reassuring statements right up to the point where they discovered that their markets had come to a standstill.

Regards, Ian

Despite today's RNS sales are actually dropping off. Rate of increase for first 3 months was 5.6%. For the first four and a half months it was 4.3% ie for the last month and a half it was 1.7%. It is obviously taking time for people to seriously cut back on spending. Do you think they are going to rush out and buy carpets over the next 6 months? Bovis home reservations are down 70% along with other housebuilders - that has to feed through to floor coverings eventually.

Strong IMS, director buying, cheap, high yield, strong reputation. What more could you want?

Yes it looks solid historically. But what happens when people stop buying carpets and floor coverings because they have no spare cash? I cannot see any case to buy this.

Can't understand why the price of this moves every five seconds or so when there are hardly any trades. Whoever is doing it must think they are going to encourage people to buy or sell, but punters are unmoved. Total lack of interest.

"The group continues to invest in developing the infrastructure, to allow our
individual businesses to take advantage of market opportunities. With the
management teams of these businesses clearly focused on the objectives before
them, we are confident of achieving another year of growth."

Oh really? With people unable to get mortgages, credit very tight and food prices, fuel and utility bills going through the roof?

deadly - the stock market currently has no interest in solid reliable long term growth companies. The only thing of any value is hype and as Headlam has none of that it will continue on its downward descent. Their results were perfectly OK but were greeted with a raspberry as usual. But I don't think the outlook for their carpets and flooring is particularly good right now. House builders have lost more than half their value even though house prices have hardly dropped at all yet. For Headlam to suffer the same treatment would put it on 300p.

Now at lowest since early 2004 - and they've done nothing wrong! If there was ever a solid reliable long term growth company then this must be it.
It is not in the consumer sector like SCS. I don't hold but I might soon.

From the SCS (sofa seller) RNS today:

'We see no relief from the credit squeeze and pressures on consumers' disposable
income for the remainder of the financial year and although our comparable
numbers are softer, it is unlikely that we will see any significant improvement
on our year to date like for like sales performance. Whilst some benefits from
the cost review which we have carried out will flow through in the current
financial year, the principal benefits will be realised in the results for the
next financial year. Our results, therefore, are likely to be at the lower end
of the range of the market's expectations.'

If people don't want to buy sofas, do they want to buy carpets and floor coverings I wonder? Hmmm.
