What do people think of the interim results? The initial market reaction seems a little overdone to me. Given the current market they are operating in, I don't think these seem at all bad.

Just keeoing an eye here.

Chart is behaving OK



Volume is weak but then there's not much to drive it. I note that the last 2 years a TS has been released around mid November - hopefully that will continue this year (it's not on the financial calender of the website however).

I continue to hold as I like the story and sector's mid term prospects.

[battlebus] 18/9/2010 09:06

Tom111 your selling has rocked the markets confidence in this share and look what's happened. Give us a bit of notice next time lol!

[tom111] 17/9/2010 17:31

[tom111] 16/9/2010 13:06

Sold back out again at 83p and into chw

[tom111] 15/9/2010 20:33

The sector is now picking up steam at long last

[battlebus] 15/9/2010 08:09

Nice open this morning.

[battlebus] 13/9/2010 21:36

Thorpematt maybe we should sell again at 80 plus and buy back again at 65p for another 20% profit!

[tom111] 13/9/2010 20:41

This sector doing rather well at the moment also SAA

[thorpematt] 13/9/2010 12:45

Indeed. Our little trip down to 65p looks a lot like a tree-shake now doesn't it.

[thepopeofchillitown] 13/9/2010 09:11

Looks like could break 80p today.

[tom111] 12/9/2010 09:35

Slowly grinding higher,hopefully break 80p this week

[thorpematt] 09/9/2010 14:30

Correctamundo!

And the trend...is your friend.

[tom111] 09/9/2010 13:11

Having a struggle getting over 80p

[thepopeofchillitown] 09/9/2010 12:58

The trend is upwards.

[thorpematt] 08/9/2010 22:56

Awkward little chart this one. Hard to see any real trends. With low volumes (as I've mentioned prior) we do risk the odd shake etc. BUT I am still long term upbeat and we haven't seen the best from HNT yet. Expect some bumpiness but here's a chart to keep you entertained in the meantime.

"rebranding"? don't fall for that. several of the agencies are still trading under their original brands.

[thorpematt] 26/8/2010 21:26

I have now read the report in full - I am happy with it. The outlook is positive and of course the re-branding is now complete with positive 2nd half expectations for all 4 units.

Forecasts for O/P full year of £27m look fine to me if we consider the EV ratio. We have increased div. + share buy back too.


LONDON (ShareCast) - Three out of Huntsworth's four business units are now reporting growth rates of between 4% and 7%, leaving the marketing services provider optimistic about its prospects for the remainder of this year and all of next.


The company saw turnover climb to £111.6m in the first half of 2010, up from £100.3m a year earlier. Revenue improved from £76.5m to £87.0m.

Of the four divisions that comprise the group, Citigate saw 4.2% like for like (LFL) revenue growth year on year (YOY), Huntsworth House saw 7.1% LFL growth YOY, and Red grew LFL revenues by 5.0% YOY but Grayling saw a LFL revenue decline of 4.9% from last year.

The company said the major reorganisation that took place last year is beginning to deliver results and it feels it is on track to meet full year management expectations and to beat 7% LFL revenue growth rates targets for 2011.

Broker KBC Peel Hunt called it "a confident interim statement" but left its full year forecasts and its "hold" recommendation unchanged.

The interim dividend has been increased by one-fifth to 0.9p a share from 0.75p last year.

[markie7] 26/8/2010 07:46

much lower growth rate than Chime, and WPP. notably lower.

[tom111] 26/8/2010 07:13

Great results expect the share price to bounce imho

[tom111] 25/8/2010 11:39

Good results from chw today results for HNT due tomorrow

[wynmck] 23/8/2010 11:02

"Altium Securities says Buy @ 69p(now 69.25p)
Oversold.Has a solid and growing dividend yield of 4.3pc"

All buys so far today ...hoping for good results Friday

[tom111] 18/8/2010 17:52

Tree shake if u ask me

[battlebus] 18/8/2010 17:25

Atleast we seem to have reversed the downward spiral.
