ILX Share Discussion Threads

[dusseldorf] 25/11/2007 19:26

200k bought(?) on Friday. I suspect the significant improvement in results hasn't gone unnoticed even though markets were down. Perhaps is management buying or at last someone mopping up the overhang.

And still ILX ends the day down.

NK,

Sadly the ILX spread has always been mad. The results do make a heart-warming read during these days of red - what a turnaround from previously and with a very positive outlook. It's nice for once to see my faith being rewarded.

I suspect that we'll see only modest immediate improvement in share price because of the current jitters, but hopefully we should see a continuing improvement over the coming months.

Results are good but spread is mad. It looks like the true spread is about 4%.

Just noticed an 80K Sell - I struggle to understand the timing of such Sells when they could have got a lot more only a fortnight ago. Presumably, a personal cash call.

The share price dip appears to be in response to a massive selling volume of C7K shares. It appears to be the MMs' that are walking the price down ahead of tommorrows figures, which we've certainly been led to believe will be good.

I hope that the selling the day before results announcement is nothing sinister (a leak about a downturn in trading?)

[spaceparallax] 13/11/2007 12:24

It would be nice if the share price bounced off the SMA 135 again - certainly, there exists positive sentiment amongst commentators.

Hi
Results due tuesday 20th November and should be good

[dusseldorf] 08/11/2007 12:43

Octobers trading update would seem to indicate good progress. I would be suprised to see anything other than a good set of results....

ILX Group plc, the AIM quoted business education and training specialist, is
pleased to report strong trading for the six months to 30 September 2007. The
interims results are expected to be reported in the week commencing 19 November
2007.


The Corporate Training Group ("CTG") division has seen continued growth in
turnover and profitability. Its bookings into 2008 are well ahead of the same
period last year, in spite of recent disruption to financial markets.


The Best Practice division is benefiting from the integration process carried
out earlier this year. Costs have been reduced and the restructuring will
benefit both sales and margins in the future. During the period the division has
made a number of contract gains and increased its market share.


Ken Scott, Chief Executive of ILX Group commented:

"In light of our order books and the visibility of future earnings we view the
prospects for the rest of the year with confidence."

Looks like results could be good if they are taking less then a month to release. Any Views.

I guess there is also some buying in advance of the interims which are released week commencing 19th November...H1 should show solid progress and indicate the recovery for full year. Assuming we don't get heavily diluted too quickly there could be a break over £1....

[davidlloyd] 05/11/2007 15:25

Shows how slow the postal service is!

[spaceparallax] 05/11/2007 13:51

A nice flurry of activity today - almost pushing the share price above the 200SMA line.

[doctorbird] 31/10/2007 14:27

The neckline of the rather ragged inverse Head & Shoulders is around 69. By rule of thumb a successful break could reach the 95-100 level, the level from which the fall began last march.

[davidlloyd] 29/10/2007 10:26

Yep, would agree with the content of that Space - only problem is that IC articles in my experience have been the kiss of death on an SP!!

THink we will see this start to move today, though. Good (and bad) thing is when it does move it doesn't hang about....

In brief, the article says:-

Despite recent poor times for trainers (ILX incl), ILXs' specific problems appear to be sorted, with reported strong trading offering good prospects.

Recognition of ILX ability to deliver training remotely, which is helping penetration into Global markets.

Despite recent events in banking and financial services, ILX bookings are strongly ahead of last year, offering good earnings visibility.

Previously, ILX CTG has been restricted in growing due to availability of suitable trainers - this is being eased through development of e-learning, which also offers beneficial delivery costs.

Mount Lane problems are being overcome - such situations highlighting the risks in acquisitive growth.

Although the Market is lukewarm towards trainers (e.g. Carter & Carter dip) ILX is in a good position to grab Market share from suufering rivals. EPS 6.73p is forecast for FY Mar 08, rising to 8.44p in 09.

THIS VALUES ILX ON PER 10, FALLING TO PER 7.9, WHICH IS TOO LOW NOW THAT ILX IS OVER ITS BLIP. BUY.


end.

Hi Space
What are the main points in the article?
Thanx in anticipation

[spaceparallax] 26/10/2007 10:20

Just received my IC to discover that ILX are a full-page BUY tip.

[spaceparallax] 26/10/2007 09:47

Nice to see, although after the string of sells over recent days, I had expected to see a small drop soon. To attain the 200 SMA would be great and would help maintain the fporward momentum.

[dusseldorf] 26/10/2007 09:13

well stone me, looks like we're almost up through the 200day SMA(!)

[spaceparallax] 11/10/2007 09:22

Pej,

Thanks.

From the Time 11/10

Tiddler to watch

ILX Group, the AIM-quoted business education and training specialist, has been upgraded to "buy" from "add" by Charles Stanley Securities. While the stock has been volatile as the group recovers from a profit warning in April, the broker believes that an 80p price target is reachable, citing the present weakness of the shares.

[spaceparallax] 09/10/2007 12:16

Orv,

Would love to but I'm already heavy on ILX and have been for a while.
