I hold too few of this, tree shake yesterday up today in weak market.
Is IBST going to benefit from cheaper oil prices and energy costs?

[shammytime] 14/1/2016 16:16

What a lovely end to the day. I'm very (pleasantly) surprised to see a quiet board here. Could see 250p before Monday at this rate...

[shammytime] 14/1/2016 10:58

Could easily see 250p here early next week. Very illiquid and strong numbers expected.

This stock seems to be holding up well under the current downturn. £3.50 by the end of year IMO.

ich bin ein scouser!

klippity looking like the messiah as present.

Two great comments "the normal one" and "i felt alone" for too long we've had supporters leaving on a whim early hopefully we'll see the end of that now. Having said that the transport facilities around the ground are a nightmare.

if i recall your a leeds man? more trouble at mill! apologies if i've got that wrong.

anyway been loading up on REDD and TRAK recently took a little CAR too even though the balance sheet has a few holes, debt and pension. RCN quite a holding too now.

Lots of insti's selling (top slicing) at present including miton and hargreave hale so must be loads of cash about.

I like IBST though and have been thinking about it for a week or so now. To be fair i'm trying to stay out of cyclicals and look mainly at UK earnings small and mid caps non-cyclical.

nevertheless "You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes well you might find you get what you need." Now where have i heard that before!

bit early for xmas mate but i can well recipricate the gesture.

i'll post if i buy

thanks for letting me know you've pushed the button.

Hi Woody

Yes, took a position after Georgie Porgie's house building statement last week.

Also recently bought some HSW another new IPO.

Things looking up for the 'Pool with Jurgen!!

Merry Xmas

[woodcutter] 30/11/2015 17:19

simon hope you're well, are you in here?

been watching and analysing, breakout looks interesting but most IPO's do this then fall back some before taking off again, assuming they're good enough to do so.

MorningStar - 11/11/15:

Hermon: The second stock pick is Ibstock (IBST), a recently quoted company on the London Stock Exchange. It's a manufacturer of bricks, a leading player in that market with a 40% market share. What attracts us is it's got a strong market position, in a very disciplined market overall. The top three players have a control of 90% of the market and therefore, pricing is very strong. Ibstock has got some strong growth prospects. It's putting capacity down which will come on stream in 2017. That will provide growth by replacing expensive imports which are having about 20% of the current market. Also, it's got a strong management team with a strong balance sheet as well. So, looking forward, with a strong UK housing market, which most bricks go into, we expect this company to do well into the future.

Cook: And I assume there that it is the housing market that would be the potential risk factor here if we see a cyclical change?

Hermon: I think so. There are probably two key risk factors. One is obviously capacity. Ibstock is the only one of the top three players adding capacity currently and therefore, that means the market is very well-controlled. As you said, a housing market downturn will be another concern. Although in the UK we're structurally underbuilding—the number of houses being built is below required. Government policy is very supportive for the housing market overall and also production of houses. So, I think the outlook for the UK housing market from a production perspective is quite positive.

Flying up now good heads up the flyposter many thanks.

"The Autumn Statement and Spending Review will detail £20bn of cuts to Whitehall budgets and £12bn to welfare.

But the chancellor will pledge almost £7bn to make housebuilding a priority, with more than 400,000 "affordable homes" to be built in England."

[flyposter] 24/11/2015 09:57

I just bought into this stock, tomorrow the government are about to announce that they are to sell off public land for house building, Ibstock will directly benefit from this.

IMO

"The Treasury believes that billions can be found from selling off public land - they say currently more than £300bn's worth is owned by the taxpayer," she said.

"For the first time, departments will be expected to show they are contributing to the government's target of building 150,000 homes on land previously owned by the taxpayer by 2020."
