Mammoth rise. I expected .5p rise a month until we reached Peel HUnt's 25p.
Now we stop for a while?

[brucie5] 01/9/2017 09:50

Wow. My top performer, and no doubt should have bought many more!

[kinloch] 01/9/2017 09:43

looking good on peoples radar now and not before time.

[pj 1] 01/9/2017 09:15

LOL, It was worth the (very long) wait!

Its almost been a text book break out of the 14p range. Break, followed by a retrace to the break out area, before buying takes it to new highs.

[1gw] 01/9/2017 09:01

All moving along swimmingly over here. Why can't investing always seem this easy!

Profits and Turnover Rise at Inspired Energy
August 23, 2017 Inspired Energy, Janet Thornton
Kirkham-based energy specialist Inspired Energy have boosted profits and turnover thanks to a trio of key acquisitions.
The group posted half year profits of £2.18m, which were up by 13 per cent from £1.93m for the six months ending June 30.
Total turnover was up 20 per cent to £12.4m compared to the 12 months prior. During the period the group, headed by Chief Executive Janet Thornton (pictured), completed the acquisitions of FEML and Churchcom, with Thornton saying that both businesses were “performing well and in line with expectations.”
The deal to buy Horizon Energy Group, a corporate energy procurement consultant based in Ireland was finalised at the end of June.
Adjusted EBITDA rose by 26 per cent to £4.7m and its interim dividend per share was 0.16p.
Janet Thornton, CEO of Inspired, said: “I am delighted to report on a fantastic period of growth for the Group: financially, operationally and strategically”
“The work undertaken over the last 18 months, which culminated in the three Corporate acquisitions completed in the first half, the debt refinancing and the £9.0m placing, has provided an excellent platform for the business to continue its organic growth complemented by these significant further acquisitions”.
“Inspired has delivered another period of strong growth on all fronts and the record results and performance once again demonstrate the commitment, drive and expertise of the whole team, which has now grown to 270 staff across the UK and Ireland”.
“The announcement of the strategic acquisition of Horizon after the period end will provide a platform to leverage the capabilities of the Group with the aim of becoming a market-leader in Ireland, and the net contribution from this and the two acquisitions in H1 enable us to look ahead into FY 2018 with even greater confidence”
“As demonstrated by the half year results and our key performance metrics including the Corporate Order Book, which continues to grow significantly both organically and through acquisitions, the Group is in an extremely strong position to continue to deliver a robust performance throughout the remainder of 2017 and beyond”.
She concluded “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all of the Inspired team for the hard work over the past six months, as we look forward to completing another exciting year of growth and development of the business.”

Petewy, if the MMs have a large block of shares to dispose of, they only have to report the trade as one block when it's finally been cleared. So these 5m shares could have been overhanging the market for a period. It's often the case that as soon as such a large block of shares is cleared, the price rises in "relief" or on any further buying as there's no longer any supply of stock to meet demand.

Which certainly would explain what's happened today - as well as the Peel Hunt initiation of coverage of course.

[1gw] 30/8/2017 11:21

The London South East site is reporting that 5m trade as "delayed publication - historical" although it currently appears to be listing it as going through this morning. So I wonder if it will turn out to have been another trade relating to last Thursday's volume, as were the big ones reported yesterday.

[petewy] 30/8/2017 10:53

Clearing an overhang. Can you explain please? (genuine question.) Since 5m deal has gone thru then share has gone up.

[rivaldo] 30/8/2017 08:50

....plus a trade of almost 5m shares at 20.5 - over £1m - just reported, perhaps clearing an overhang.

[rivaldo] 30/8/2017 07:43

Excellent - Peel Hunt have today initiated coverage with a Buy and a 25p target:

[1gw] 29/8/2017 17:44

Well perhaps that's why it was such hard work getting 0.25p on the bid after all that apparent buying interest and why it didn't then stick.

In fact there were several million of sells being put through mid-morning below 20p according to those late reported trades.

Edit: The London South East site is actually reporting those trades as going through on the morning of 24th August (Thursday) not the morning of 29th, so doesn't relate to this morning's price movements.

[pj 1] 29/8/2017 10:16

Bid strengthened considerably though !

[1gw] 29/8/2017 09:48

There's another 0.25p added to the bid - feels like it came a bit grudgingly this morning somehow.

[1gw] 24/8/2017 17:09

That's a lot of action for a sleepy Thursday afternoon ahead of the late August bank holiday!

[brucie5] 24/8/2017 17:08

Yay, breakout! Though it was going down on the day. Hopefully now onwards and upwards. Great share.

[petewy] 24/8/2017 15:49

pushed up to 21p sell. More sells at UTW.

[rivaldo] 24/8/2017 14:58

Wow - 2.99m shares just reported in two trades at 20.9p and 21p. I'd have said they were a rollover, but the price action suggests perhaps the clearing of an overhang.

[pj 1] 24/8/2017 09:10

UTW-Looks better than I thought. However, very unusual for a 'growth' Company to make Sales staff redundant with growing order books etc etc. Looks to me like Management there have ignored Problems for too long.

[rivaldo] 24/8/2017 07:39

Cheers petewy - should bring in some more interest. Here's a direct link:

And Bulls have a buy signal

[igoe104] 23/8/2017 16:44

Must be some overhang behind the scenes.

[petewy] 23/8/2017 16:23

2.5m shares bought and it moves up 0.3p.
Speechless.
