Well interims look pretty normal. I wonder if this is reacting to the wider oil prices?

[kendo10] 04/11/2014 09:30

Typical of the mms, another tree shake for no apparent reason ! They must know that the interims must be good this week, why do it for a few seconds only? to get cheap shares ready for the climb up

Look to be on the front foot

Good company and fundamentals but topped out at 900p yet again so shorted. Market will be choppy in Sept/Oct and no news due until November.

Are half years due out soon?

Results "Outlook" very positive going forward.

[pilgrim] 06/3/2014 12:38

I thought results were rather flat, also not sure about reporting in USD vs Sterling.
Sold at 877.summat.

[deadly] 06/3/2014 10:13

Bizarre initial mark down, but whoever was selling will now be ruing their mistake on the bounce after these solid results.

Revenue $1,334.0m (2012 - $1,309.0m)
Underlying diluted earnings per share 93.5 cents (2012 - 90.8 cents)
Final dividend of 21.8 cents 2012 - 21.3 cents)
Net debt $205.8m (2012 - $266.4m)

Yes i ditherd about buying more as I was looking for sub 750p. The amount of times I have seen this bounce between 760p and 900p is innumerable. Results are dues around 6th of March and I expect after John Wood's good results we may have good news.

[citymohawk] 21/2/2014 15:01

looking good huh?

[citymohawk] 22/1/2014 21:24

Ok fly good stuff. Roll on £9

[flyfisher] 22/1/2014 18:46

Hunting plc own 60% hunting energy services uk ltd and 70% hunting energy wuxi co ltd, would that explain it.

[citymohawk] 22/1/2014 18:32

Hmmm yes that's what I meant. The 1.1% makes rings some bells from the allocation as pet website. I'm on my phone right now and will check for you in a short while.

[flyfisher] 22/1/2014 18:07

citymohawk, sorry I didn't explain myself better. The accounts show how much the non controlling interest is , but do not explain what it is.

The income statement shows-

Profit attributable to:
Owners of the parent 41.0
Non-controlling interests 1.1

I cannot see, in the notes to the accounts what the 'nci' is. I guess that it relates to a part owned subsidiary , but the accounts do not show % ownership of subsidiaries.

[mach100] 22/1/2014 14:20

Schlumberger's results are in March, That should oil the wheels of this one if they continue to trade strongly.

[citymohawk] 22/1/2014 13:21

You should find major shareholders on the site and be able to calculate it roughly from that?

[flyfisher] 22/1/2014 09:35

Would anyone here know what the ''non controlling interest'' in HTG is. I can't seem to find it in the notes.

[citymohawk] 20/1/2014 19:11

Absolutely...

Don't forget that similar industries have seen some recent consolidation attempts so I wouldnt be surprised if someone is sniffing about at the foot of HTG.

[deadly] 20/1/2014 18:24

Up almost 6% today! Good value here.

[mach100] 19/12/2013 08:06

Salpara. I am in Lamprell and that is a hell of a frustrating share. I down about 50 to 60%. Might be a good entry point for you now but beware the accident prone management!I sold out half my hunting on the results and thought 760p would be a good re-entry point but have no funds until after xmas. Think this will bounce today and previous broker notes have a target of £10.80. HTG pays good divis so I am keen to get back in sub 760p. Schlumberger etc have all had decent results recently so the sector has value and Hunting will rebound. I would also say John Wood's result have been a drag on the share price but Hunting is still a better play than John Wood.

[pyman] 19/12/2013 07:26

Ooo, getting very Christmas pressie like at todays price. Stocking fillers!

[salpara111] 18/12/2013 12:34

I was very nearly back in at 760 but the amount of negative sentiment about the sector means I have held back.
I was also looking at Petrofac which is currently around 4 year lows but offers a better divi than HTG.
Lamprell is another to consider in the sector but is more of a recovery play at present.
Feel that there is pretty good value across the sector now as hopes and share prices have both been scaled back.

[texaspete2] 18/12/2013 09:31

I got in too early here at 790, but seems to have good fundamentals, unsure of the drop, guess negative sentiment within the sector?
