Posted at 18/5/2014 07:41 by parsons I increased my holding yet again this is now very cheap there has been no bad news at all. The problem is IMHO that a lot of holders are still in with shares from the open offer and when they have other losses (QPP,GBO and numerous small miners) they tend to sell profitable shares ie HHR. There is also the consolidation which always confuses some investors and very often leads to falls if it does I shall top up again. The fact is that the price is on a low single figure PE which is crazy for a company growing profits and dividends. I have most of my holding in my SIPP. This is a perfect investment for SIPPs and ISAs. I am well happy with HHR it has been very frustrating for the last year but they have constantly suprised on the upside. GLA |
Posted at 06/5/2014 10:14 by nicky name Yes, very good news that Neil wants a good chunk of this in his new fund. I think that the institutions understand why the margins will improve now that they own New Law. This industry is not understood by most private investors, which is why they have been spooked by an anonymous blogger writing unsubstantiated innuendo over at Quindell. |
Posted at 30/4/2014 22:48 by jam2day XPAN Makes perfect sense Woodford has started his own fund management so I would think a lot of Invesco investors will move with him, |
Posted at 30/4/2014 20:51 by xpan If you read the announcement carefully you will see that investor have merely had some funds under management transfered to another fund manager .... There has been no sales. Neil wooodford has left invesco - perhaps it's him? |
Posted at 30/4/2014 09:35 by the handyman Well said Mrs Capricious71, the market is not all about charts, accounts and directors dealings [which can sometimes be a desperate measure to keep heads above water - although not in this case]. One final, essential element is that good old 'gut-feeling'. It allows me to take a number of chances during the course of the year, whereas some investors might sit and wait for announcements or results. |
Posted at 12/4/2014 14:06 by the handyman Small piece on AIM companies in this week's Investors Chronicle discusses Helphire's background. 'Hold' recommendation. |

Posted at 01/3/2014 12:46 by bains123 Posted on lse:Helphire (HHR.L) announced on Thursday that they had agreed terms to acquire the New Law group of companies for a cash consideration of £24.5m plus up to £10.5m in HHR shares, subject to achievement of EBITDA targets for 2013 and 2014. This strategic acquisition strengthens Helphire's market position in terms of vertical integration and extended reach while also enhancing earnings the acquisition adds £7m pre-tax profits on sales of £29.4m. Having raised £60m for strategic growth in December 2013, it is clear that further earnings enhancing acquisitions are likely to follow. Alongside details of the acquisition, Helphire also announced interim results for the half year ended 31st December 2013 and a third interim dividend of 0.054p per share. The interim results showed increased pre-tax profits of £4.2m on revenues of £92.3m. These revenues were down 16% year-on-year and this was attributed to the ban on referral fees for personal injury claims from 1st April 2013. Clearly HHR leadership anticipated the shifting landscape of their sector and have taken measures to protect and grow the overall business, not least through their acquisition strategy. There has been a somewhat mooted response to this news with a slight softening of the share price. It is difficult to understand why other than the "buy on rumour, sell on news" mindset. As things currently stand, the new enlarged group should have annual profits of around £15-16m against a market capitalisation of c£180m with significant tax losses to carry forward. With a further £35m in cash to make further earnings enhancing acquisitions and a prospective yield of over 5%, I believe it is only a matter of time before the shares are re-rated. In the meantime, the progressive dividend policy and the prospect of a special dividend from a potential litigation settlement makes it fairly easy for investors to be patient. |
Posted at 23/2/2014 21:09 by noli As of Feb 22, 2014, the consensus forecast amongst 2 polled investment analysts covering Helphire Group plc advises that the company will outperform the market. This has been the consensus forecast since the sentiment of investment analysts improved on Feb 11, 2014. The previous consensus forecast advised investors to hold their position in Helphire Group plc. |
Posted at 01/9/2013 07:02 by strongbuy fft, imho taken from "The Main Maestro's"Helphire 1 September 2013, 07.30hrs; Helphire's Autofocus settlement should be swift and could translate to about 1.5p - 2p per share special dividend whilst retaining some for exceptionals. With the normal dividend policy now resumed we should see an additional further payment of around 0.235 and a significant re-rating of the stock. This could be re-rated north of 40p and any bid really would have to be north of 65p to be successful, investors are forgetting that what we are seeing here is a classic recovery play, exactly like Taylor Wimpey (5p to £1.05 now), Lloyds (16p to 74p), invensys (15p to £5),Thomas cook (10p - £1.40), senior (5p - £2.70) etc. There are many more established companies which have been bombed out, weathered the storm re-structured then gone on to become a fantastic recovery play, however the difference here is that Helphire have not diluted the small shareholders, their banks have accepted equity for the debt owed on terms favourable to the retail investors and this is primed for a massive recovery. The company recently confirmed that they are growing and branching out into complimentary services which has been successful for their competitors so it should be good for them. With the results/trading update and final dividend confirmation to be announced this month (Sept 13) we should finally start to see some classic recovery action (i.e. big daily jumps in the share price and marketmakers restricting the amount of shares investors can buy. Keep an eye on this, what I call the Pension Play |
