Bouncing from 550 and this could be buying opp but for the very brave only as the troubles in Libya, Egypt, Syria and Middle East may still affect the possible recovery. There is an article in The Telegraph today titled "Libya and Egypt unrest hurts Hikma Pharmaceuticals". Worth reading.


Nevertheless looks like a possibility of a double bottom to me and worth trying with the stop around 530.

been battered - buying opp now?

[odys2] 13/6/2011 13:02

Does anybody know why the recent drop on quite high volume? Seems to me that there is no obvious reason. Nevertheless I am going to do a runner if the share price goes below the expected support at 800.

Hikma will announce its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2010 on Wednesday 16 March 2011.
Panic selling all over the stock market is understandable after the earthquake. Support at 700 is still holding.
Top up time? Or would it be better to wait till tomorrow for the preliminary results reaction first? I'd rather wait for a convincing buy signal.

Naked Trader writes today:


"Stocks often fall on a statement day even if the statement is good.

It's often profitable to buy in once the profit takers have gone. Either late the same day or a couple of days later.

So I just bought some more Hikma (HIK) for a spreadbet fiver at 748 to add to the ones I got in the 720s. It looks like it might have bottomed and it climbing back up. The statement didn't have any horrors and the longer term uptrend is still strong, so I've bought on the weakness. Maybe I should have waited longer - We shall see! Target 850 stop 720."

Nothing wrong with the interim management statement. Some top up opportunities this morning.

Robbie Burns is still holding Hikma. His todays comments from the Naked Trader website:

"Hikma came back a bit after the big rise on the acquisition news - been a nice one so far and the rise looks set to continue."

[odys2] 03/11/2010 00:14

Yes Robrah, looks like another tree shake...
Now something more - a quotation from Ukcitymedia - Newspaper share tips:

"Pharma giant Hikma announced at the end of last week that it will pay $112m for the US company Baxter. This is equivalent to around 7 times earnings, which looks good value for the pharmaceutical sector. Brokers believe Hikma shares are 23 times this year's earnings and so the Times says that they are up with events."

[robrah] 02/11/2010 15:48

seems like MM trying to drop it again but not letting this go this time . must be somemore news tomorrow .

in fact looking for a price to top up .

[odys2] 02/11/2010 00:00

Short article by topnews.co.uk published yesterday

quotes:
"Hikma Pharmaceuticals is said to be listed on the London Stock Exchange, as after the acquirement it has now become the 10th to the second biggest supplier of the drugs in the US with a 15% market share."

"Even after the $112m deal, Hikma is left with $500m which it intends to spend on facilities and expansions"

[gorilla36] 01/11/2010 09:26

Robrah - You are completely correct in your assumption, somebody always knows. It has always been the way and always will be. "Fair"...... not really, but that is the name of the game I'm afraid. Seen this a zillion times before.

Most probably market makers collected shares yesterday to sell them dearly today.

As per todays RNS:


"The acquisition of Multi-Source Injectables:

� Brings close to $180 million in annual revenue, significantly enhancing the
scale and scope of Hikma's global Injectables platform

� Adds a high-quality, complementary injectables portfolio including
excellent critical care products and DEA controlled substances

� Positions Hikma as the second largest injectables supplier in the US1 with
a combined market share of more than 15%

� Brings well qualified and experienced operational and sales teams with
excellent technical skills and customer relationships

� Increases Hikma's high quality injectables manufacturing capacity and
distribution capabilities"

It could be time to buy. The Naked Trader - Robbie Burn's is in. He is usually right. His followers will come to buy as well.

The quote:
"I also nabbed some Hikma (HIK) - time I got myself a bit of exposure to this sector. Fundamentals look good but even better is the lovely strong uptrend that is kicking skywards. This one's on a spreadbet for a tenner at 720. Target 800 stop 705."
