Good call , this needs a one day chart (no idea how to do it)

[epsilon mojo] 07/3/2011 18:16

Any chance someone could put a one day chart in the header, or else start a new thread with one in? Most threads have one but strangely absent here.

Agree wendsworth but still feel that the disparity between IMI & WEIR is unwarranted and a re-rating is due sooner rather than later, even against the backdrop of political unrest & higher oil prices.

Quite happy to hold at this price on a 6-12 month view.

Epsillon: Think the share price will very much be dictated by general market factors in the short term such as political worries in N.Africa/MiddleC east and oil price.

[epsilon mojo] 07/3/2011 08:15

Close to breakout here, £10+ not far off. Still cheap when compared to WEIR.

Bluebelle : Still have a holding so divi in tact. My limit sale (ref 108 on the advfn trades) just caught the early morning rise up to the 980p level. I may well buy more before the ex-div date.

IMI upgrades margin targets
Created: 4 March 2011 Written by: Stephen Wilmot
Even after a year of snowballing hype - including a promotion to the FTSE 100 - IMI posted profits well ahead of City expectations. Chief executive Martin Lamb aspires to turn the lumbering industrial giant of yesteryear into a high-tech solver of global mega-problems like climate change and resource scarcity. Operating margins rose from 13.1 per cent to a record 16.7 per cent last year - despite only a modest recovery in sales driven mainly by the lorry market - yet Mr Lamb says IMI is still only half way there in achieving his goals.

He defines that precisely, claiming only half of IMI's operations tick the three boxes all engineers cherish: strong technology, niche-market leadership and exposure to "global trends". By investing in the right businesses and countries - both organically and by acquisition - he hopes to increase that share. He now has his sights on operating margins of 20 per cent for IMI's three core 'fluid-control' divisions, though he has kept the old 15 per cent target for the two retail-orientated businesses.

Following 6 per cent earnings upgrades, Investec expects EPS of 77p this year (2010: 66p) and notes "the risk remains firmly weighted

[veg man] 03/3/2011 18:27

Thanks wendsworth.

IMI topped the leaderboard, improving 58p at 943p, after it revealed that full-year profits for 2010 rose 44%. Pretax profit from continuing operations climbed to £304.4m from £211.7m on revenue up 7% to £1.91bn.

Veg Man : Click on 'financials' header above. Goes ex on 13th April. Share price heading north of 950p now!

[veg man] 03/3/2011 09:39

What a company fantastic.Anyone any idea when the share goes exdividend.
Thanks in advance.

[broadwood] 03/3/2011 09:27

Investec targets £10.80 from £10.

[wendsworth] 03/3/2011 08:59

Bluebelle: Just starting 'to blossom' ..eh?

[bluebelle] 03/3/2011 08:56

No complaints !

[wendsworth] 03/3/2011 08:20

Up 50p.

Advfn chartists having problem keeping up to speed!

£10 here we come?

[wendsworth] 03/3/2011 07:57

Terrific set of results. Dividend UP 29%. Final Dividend 17p! Should see this share go considerably higher.

Nasdaq

Close): Leading Japanese shares fell on Wednesday, wiping out the gains made in recent days.

Another rise in oil prices and continuing turmoil in the Middle East prompted the drop.

Oil rose more than $3 to over $116 a barre with concerns centred on Libya's troubles spreading to the rest of the Middle East.

Japan's Nikkei average fell more than 2.4% to 10,492.38 points, Sharp was the biggest faller losing 4.8%.

It fell after Morgan Stanley cut its rating to "equal-weight" from "overweight".

[wendsworth] 02/3/2011 15:55

Veg Man : NASDAQ currently up 0.78%. If that augurs well for the DOW and it finishes strongly then IMI could well have a favourable trading 'climate' for tomorrow's results.

[veg man] 01/3/2011 15:31

wendsworth I think you are spot on regarding the fall back.IMI dos seem to be a share that follows the FT very closely me thinks.

[wendsworth] 01/3/2011 10:30

Veg Man : If only it were that easy ! Trends can be meaningless . My view is that IMI has already its fall back and will go on from here. Final Dividend should be 15p 'ish.

Bluebelle : There is a 'truism' in effect that when you trade short term things can catch you out and when you invest medium to long term 'up she goes'!!! In other words...there's always a decision to be made ! As a result I set limit buys and sells ..hence my previous sale of this stock at 998p which was deliberately pitched just short of the £10!
