Last year it was the 18th of Jan so not a definite for next week.

There is no date given for this update but the company generally reports to the market early in the new year with trading numbers over Christmas and a quick look ahead to the rest of the year.

Good to see some support for the share price here and a good bounce.

Looking forward to next weeks trading update.

Very few shares out there t2r. MMs drop the price trying to make a market and if there are a few profit takers the price falls. As it falls others bail too in a spiral down. Its a very short sighted way to trade in this share as the long term future is extremely bright.

Any good news will be welcome ps. I'll be glad to see the back of all this selling.

[psolomons] 04/1/2017 09:48

I expect a trading update next week giving us further guidance on how well things are going. A bit of profit taking goes on but this is a share to hold for the long term. Material improvements in the share price and improving dividend.

No news I'm aware of. Most likely Miton Group reducing their holding. Good buying op pre-Jan update

[petes5] 29/12/2016 17:14

A continous fall. Any news out there, there should be a trading statement soon.

I'm expecting 2017 onwards to be even better for us than the last 2 years with that "heaving" order book interceptor2-we have 2 new conversion machines starting up on Jan 3rd which will be run 24/7 and another 4 on order for the year, all part of 2017s planned £3 million investment, i don't think they'd be spending that kind of money if the orders didn't call for it.

Everything here still going in the right direction and i'm looking forward to 2017 onwards.

Merry xmas all

Thank you for the links time 2 retire, I think there is a very telling line from Paul Fineman about what to expect in the January trading update.

"Paul Fineman, chief executive of the group, says order books for next year are “heaving”; because the drop in the value of the pound post-Brexit has boosted demand from abroad."

Here's my post from Oct 19th, post number 2335.

"The Guardian newspaper are visiting the Wales factory tomorrow and the BBC on Monday."

We've already seen the BBC's piece but here's the Guardians...

[nocton] 20/12/2016 14:26

Don't forget to watch:
Inside the Factory on BBC2 tonight at 9pm.

It includes "Cherry travels to south Wales to meet the workers who make enough tinsel in a year to reach Hawaii, and she is given special access to a high-tech factory that produces over 400 million metres of bestselling wrapping paper."

[psolomons] 15/12/2016 13:48

That would be good. Straight to the bottom line !

Looks as though Drax have acquired the Hirwaun Power project.



"b. Hirwaun Power is a company holding a proposed development on land located at Hirwaun Industrial Estate, Aberdare in the County of Swansea. The site has a Development Consent Order (DCO)"

...I guess that means it is pretty certain we will get our £2.4m for the sale of the site.

[psolomons] 08/12/2016 21:07

All good PR t2r. Also everyone who held the shares today gets the dividend. Its not a huge amount but significant in the progress of the company.

"Inside the christmas factory" bbc2 Tuesday 20th December, a look at our South Wales operations

[jeff h] 30/11/2016 14:28

The IC say "Buy":-

With acquisitions adding to profits, gross margins up over a third and organic pre-tax profit growth at 25 per cent, there is a lot to like from these results. The strong order book means the group expects to report full-year results "materially ahead of expectations" and we don't think the shares trading on 18 times forward earnings take this into account. Buy.

[psolomons] 30/11/2016 08:30

The virtue of patience t2r ! It takes a bit of time to realise full value. My next task here is holding on the 9th of dec for dividend then its the January update. Nothing is certain but you would have to think that there will be considerable share price gains to come.

[cfro] 29/11/2016 17:48

Great video from above, thanks.

"Momentum in the business is strong and getting stronger.."

Excellent stuff from Paul Fineman. :-)

Price being held back again-should be flying up after amount of buying but stuck on £2.90p.

Debt is no longer the problem it was a few years ago and is definitely not a problem here. They have a new lender and a plan to dramatically reduce borrowings in the short term. Holders on 9 December this year get the dividend, making IGR an increasingly good investment share.
