Wonder if bears closing just in case figures might be half decent,

Been creeping up slowly, always two steps forward, one back.

[robertball] 01/8/2022 15:47

Think that's a bit simplistic. Value always comes out in the end and was expecting Hikma to be @£32 at this stage. Oh well

[montyhedge] 01/8/2022 12:53

True, not one SELL by an analyst.

Broker target prices are useless in my view. Typically follow the news rather than lead the news

The company is trading on only a 11x PE and the only other time in the last 20 years that its dropped sub 10x aside from recently was late 2008.

Unless analyst forecasts are badly wrong and this starts to shrink, the price IMO is likely far too low. Even if earnings were flat, you'd make say 7%+ based on the share buy back (assume market cap remains flat but fewer shares) plus the divi.

As always, you can never be certain and making investments is simply a process of placing a series of reasoned bets where you feel there is more upside potential than downside. Personally I believe the risk is assymetric here

Make or break thurs i think. Under 10 GBP if numbers are off

That maybe rectified on Thursday. At the moment seems a crazy low valuation, all will be revealed 4th August.

If we're going to keep regurgitating broker price forecasts, at least we could try to be objective about it.

Of 12 analysts, 10 quote "buy" and 2 quote "hold" at the moment.

The low, medium and high price targets are 1900p, 2367p and 2937p.

This is from IBKR.

It's rare to see a broker price target that is below the current price anyway.

Interims next Thursday 4th Aug, another dividend rise the same as it has been for last 15 years. If decent perhaps get on its way to Barclays target 2500p.

Don’t you ever get bored of being wrong?

[montyhedge] 28/7/2022 09:41

It will end the day up, forward momentum to strong for bears, they are trying to get shareprice down.

[scepticalinvestor] 28/7/2022 07:02

Always marked down...must still be a large holder dumping

[montyhedge] 27/7/2022 10:24

Quietly moving up to Barclays 2500p target.https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/hikma-pharmaceuticals-plc-40.4-potential-upside-indicated-by-barclays/4121069274

‘Tuck away’ = sitting on a fat loss and going nowhere any time soon!

[montyhedge] 23/7/2022 15:47

It's a tuck away, like the article says.https://www.fool.co.uk/2022/07/18/i-think-these-are-the-best-shares-to-buy-now-for-the-next-decade-2/

[montyhedge] 21/7/2022 19:37

4th August, figures, I expect nothing spectacular, just steady has she's goes, dividend increase, just like it has been for the last 15 years.

[montyhedge] 21/7/2022 14:47

Slowly getting back over 2000p, figures will give Hikma a push.

[montyhedge] 18/7/2022 08:32

Two steps forward, one back, but on our way back to 2600p, figures due shortly should give more momentum to upside.

[blue59] 16/7/2022 06:06

Another for the filter button!

Hikma I would have thought should be upgraded on weak sterling, perhaps after the figures in a couple of weeks time.
