Inspired Share Discussion Threads

Well, its a closing high, but it has traded higher so maybe I bit the bullet a little early?

[pj 1] 13/2/2017 15:32

I've added today as it appears the break is holding. Just over 40k of shares, easy to picked up though at 14.9p average.

If my timing is quick I'll probably take more once this seller has cleared (assuming the Directors don't dump any more)

[1gw] 13/2/2017 15:26

Guilty as charged. Tried to get the 15.75p when it seemed to be on offer earlier in the day (but couldn't get a firm quote), then had a limit order in at 15.0 for quite a while (not filled), eventually decided to take the bird in the hand when it was offered.

[wanttowin] 13/2/2017 15:18

was that your 100k trade then 1gw ?

[1gw] 13/2/2017 15:17

Took a bit of profit there and sold some at just over 14.75p in case this boost fades over the coming days.

Zak Mir chartist has put on 2/3 month price target of 23p in his masterinvestor article of today

Good to see the MIDAS article. The big jump in volume should help to flush out weak holders and leave scope for a bit more of an improvement in the run up to the results in late March. Encouraging!

[funkmasterp12] 13/2/2017 11:18

The 2014 17p mark was a spike generated by coverage in SCSW which quickly subsided. The results would need to be outstanding to get near that as high expectations are already largely priced in.

[cheshire man] 13/2/2017 10:40

I'm looking at the share price achieving the 2014 17p mark on results,,,however time will tell,,,,,DYOR of course !

[yump] 13/2/2017 10:34

Will soon know as the volume will be tempting if there are still divesters waiting for a good exit price, although its been over a year at 13p ish, so if that represents a good return for them, surely they must have got rid of what they want by now ? I don't think the difference between 12p and 15p is very significant if you got your shares at a fraction of that and are depending on volume to sell.

[wanttowin] 13/2/2017 10:20

Decent volume on the back of that article

[diesel] 13/2/2017 10:13

We seem to be hitting the 14.5 Resistance level again, for now this maybe enough, a bit of consolidation around these levels ready for the results to move us to 15+.

[cheshire man] 13/2/2017 10:04

It's the full year results I'm looking forward to and not long to wait !

Inspired Energy Results To Be "Very Strong" In Line With Expectations


LONDON (Alliance News) - Inspired Energy PLC on Monday said it expects 2016 revenue to be up around 40% year-on-year, in line with market expectations.

The energy procurement consultant said it also expects a year-on-year rise in its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the year, of around 45%.

Inspired Energy said trading remained strong through the year, in a trend which was continuing into the start of 2017, though its net debt was expected to be around GBP10.8 million at the year-end following the acquisition of Informed Business Solutions Ltd in September.

Inspired Energy said its Corporate division, which the purchase has been integrated into, enjoyed "another excellent year", both in terms of organic growth and the acquisition.

At the year-end, Inspired Energy's Procurement Corporate order book stood at GBP28.0 million, up from GBP24.5 million a year earlier, representing 14% year-on-year growth. The order book is a "consistent guide to future performance of the group" and provides "strong visibility" of revenue for the next three years, Inspired Energy said.

Meanwhile, its SME unit performed "well" during the year, delivering strong growth in revenue, profit and cash generation in line with its expectations.

"Inspired had a very strong 2016 in which the business delivered on its stated growth strategy. I am delighted that we have been able to conclude and integrate all three acquisitions completed over 2015 and 2016 whilst simultaneously delivering on our organic growth targets," said Chief Executive Janet Thornton.

Inspired Energy said it will continue to look for further attractive acquisitions and voiced its confidence 2017 will be another year of positive growth.

Inspired Energy will post its full year results on March 27.

Shares in Inspired Energy were down 1.9% at 13.25 pence on Monday morning.

Let's see if this one lasts!

[pj 1] 13/2/2017 08:12

I therefore assume DYOR is not an abbreviation known to most Midas readers?

[opodio] 13/2/2017 08:09

this move should encourage dir dumping

[1gw] 13/2/2017 08:08

Good old Midas then. Let's hope it is sustained.

[yump] 12/2/2017 19:19

Its those pesky early investors, using the market to gradually reduce their stakes. What a liberty !

[igoe104] 12/2/2017 17:06

any ideas who the seller is gents ?

[martinthebrave] 12/2/2017 15:32

Has to be positive for the share price At the very least the article will attract new investors in and allow our "persistent seller" to unload.

[edale] 12/2/2017 12:06

The Midas recommendation should give the share price a kick start in the morning but whether that is then sustainable is the big question. All other recent rises have been met with sells which have quickly returned the price to the status quo. Lets hope the underlying seller / sellers take a break and allow this share to re-rate. It looks a good well run company which has grown both turnover and profits consistently over a number of years with forward forecasts also positive. As with several holders above I originally bought in 2014, added in 2015 and 2016 and average at 12.7p so also hope my patience is rewarded.

[1gw] 12/2/2017 11:41

From my own records I see I got in at 10.7p in May 2015 (but had watched it for at least a year before that I think hoping it would come down to what I then thought was a "sensible" level). And then I must have been so convinced that the market had it wrong that I bought on a further 9 occasions at prices up to 14.0p, for an average of 13.0p. It's one of my top 5 holdings (currently at no. 3) and by far the smallest market cap and most illiquid of those holdings.

So very definitely a believer and hoping that if I wait long enough the market will eventually come to me.

[the big fella] 12/2/2017 11:23

Just looked it up. I bought my original 250k at 11.11p back inJuly 2015. I have bought a further 250k late last year at 12.5 p. To be honest it feels like I have held these longer as the share price hasn't done a lot considering the excellent profit growth since. They really should be over 20p by now. However the stock market is a mechanism that transfers wealth from the impatient to the patient. Let's hope that old adage rings true with this share!

[1gw] 12/2/2017 10:24

That's a great write-up - only a shame perhaps that it's in the mail, rather than something with a bit more credibility!

Certainly a frustrating share to hold from a shareprice perspective. But maybe this will be what finally gets the bandwagon rolling...

[rubberbullets] 12/2/2017 10:22

It is a frustrating hold. About time the Thorntons turned the tap off

They be selling more into the mail ramp
