I think you're reading too much into the chart, sleveen. Probably a trading range, and to be honest, the market conditions are against it. The price moves on very small number of sells or buys, and that's why we've seen the latest weakness. One to hold and see what the outcome is - as puku says, the latest statement was quite positive - cheap at this price, with cash. I personally doubt we'll see 450p with results in June - the wider market conditions will probably prevent it, but I am content to hold and add on dips, for when we see better conditions.

Cheers,
Steve.

I bought back in today, 450p seems reasonable from here. Looks like my "double top" warning on the 18th March was correct.

[puku] 10/5/2012 15:34

very quiet board. Recent update says orders well up. Topped up twice recently. Still cheap at 380p - looking for 450p at Results on 13 June - my birthday treat !! ?.

looks like adouble top forming

Looks like a great company, why such little interest ?

Great Smashing Super

I really like these, the stock is a little illiquid mind you, but yes on track (insert you're own railway derived pun here)

[don carter] 16/2/2012 08:11

IMS: in line with expectations, increased order book, new partner in Jeddah, and new credit facility agreed with the bank. A very safe hold methinks. Back to sleep guys....nae problem.

[stevemarkus] 23/11/2011 10:58

Yes, results were fairly reassuring I thought. Like the dividend increase, and they still have cash left. Not bad, and the reasons for being down against last year seem to be explained by the bonuses paid in Australia last year. Planning to hold.

Cheers,
Steve.

Half-year results evidencing difficult macro-economic times globally, but still undervalued....assuming they worth a pe of 10 at least. Should make over 40p eps over full year, even now....and just noticed the big Doha contract announced this morning, which should clinch it. I'm still hopeful of some good news about their Chinese venture too in coming months.

[stevemarkus] 18/8/2011 09:33

What's to say? The market is fairly quiet, market conditions aren't brilliant and so any sells will see the price marked down hard. The last statement was very positive, little exposure to problem economies, 70% of profits outside the UK, cash positive etc... so I am happy to hold, and if it gets nearer £3 then will add to my already reasonable holding. All we need is a decent market and then we'll see prices marked up I expect. One of the brokers came out with a buy and 470p target the other day - I think it was Panmure-Gordon.

Cheers,
Steve.

The fall today is presumably in line with BBY, GFRD etc. but any comments? Not holding at present, and concerned at the wide spread, but also concerned lest this be picked up by a predator in an an environment of contraction in this sector. This is a very quiet board!

[don carter] 15/7/2011 12:24

Citywire lists Hyder as both target and predator in its top 10:

Get the divi if you are holding at the close tonight, then the interim management statement due on or around July 12th.

Blip today because I suspect of rumours re possible merger/acquisition with/of WSP.

[thorpematt] 23/6/2011 12:10

I kind of read it as being a question simply of being over-sold on Aussie worries etc.

It is cheap though and would make a nice aquisition for several I can think of.

Chart looks to have 2 ways to proceed:

1. Sideways
2. Resume to the previous trend.

[qs9] 22/6/2011 20:24

Significant re-rating going on here, sort of thing that may produce an RNS IMO, but happy to continue to see it rise. GIven its growth, cash, prospects etc, wouldn't be surprised that someone may be sniffing around...

[grigor] 08/6/2011 21:32

Still on a single figure PE with net cash and good cash flow.

The brokers forecasts are behind the news and are predicting little growth.

[jonb7030] 08/6/2011 12:41

Hyder's results issued today were exceptional in terms of cash in the bank, operating profit and margin increases all up considerably on last year putting them well ahead of many key rivals who are struggling. With 70% of 2011/12's sales already achieved this year should be a defining year for Hyder and its relatively new management team. With over £13m in the bank and operating in a diverse consultancy business we should expect further acquisitions this year particularly in areas where their operation is understrength such as Nuclear and railways.

Only thing that puzzles me is the lack of market acknowledgement of the strong results. Price is only up 1-2%. Regardless, for me its a long term hold and 550p target.

[stevemarkus] 08/6/2011 07:46

Excellent results. Very pleased.

Steve.

[qs9] 06/4/2011 22:32

Looks good, thanks for info above. Me thinks this will start to retrace to previous highs...

[nellie1973] 06/4/2011 16:37

Another upgrade today target 525p
