Not good results. Despite the pump

Shuffle Man, I think you have asked the right question. I thought that we may see something like this. A bit disappointed, but the mngt have identified what was wrong and done something about it. Lots of buying this a.m. and at 46p I am topping up.

The question is does this now mark the bottom and they recover from here ?

Shameful set of results from a company which has always been controlled by scuzzies

Yes spot1034, definitely overdone in the Brexit panic and lets see what September trading statement says.

[spot1034] 23/8/2016 16:48

The reaction to the trading statement at the end of June was dramatic, and remember they weren't valued as highly as some other recruiters before that. Probably just re-rating to a more reasonable level, even if you factor in a significant drop in earnings.

Interims are usually published in early September, so not long to wait now to get some further news.

I'm as surprised as anyone at this sudden rise today and can't believe it's house builders related or indeed, any particular sector in view of the sector (niche recruitment) their in and the previous trading warning. If it continues they'll need to issue a statement.

[dangersimpson2] 23/8/2016 13:36

Probably just following house builders and similar sectors in realising immediate Brexit fallout is not as bad as predicted. Although the weak sterling and relatively high rating of US equities seems to created an open season for British companies to receive takeover offers so can never be ruled out.

Steep rise here today - can't see anything on the wires.

[2vdm] 03/8/2016 08:18

I think the BREXIT fears were overdone and we will see the share price re-trace, maybe not to previous levels until we see results, but this is still a well managed company with a good track record and so will adapt to circumstances.

35000 BUY!!!!!

[dadedidodu] 13/7/2016 08:19

What I look for when buying a stock

4 years of continual growth which can be a combination of historic and forecast growth – Yes

Low Forecast PER (<5) & PEG (<0.7) and good EPS Growth (>15%) – Yes.

2016 EPS Forecast 11.8p EPS Growth 31.4%
2017 EPS Forecast 13.5p EPS Growth 14.4%

The Below are based on 2015 Results

Positive 1 Year Relative Strength - Yes just
Positive 1 Month Relative Strength – Yes
ROCE of 20% - Yes 45%
Profit Margin of over 7.5% - No 3%
Cashflow Per Share greater than EPS around 1.3 - Yes 1.67
Low Gearing Resonable at 26%
Quick Ratio over 1 - Yes 1.1
Director Share holding >10% - Yes 35%
Dividend Yield (a nice to have) forecast – Yes over 3.5%

Another Buy Signal for me is the Financial Director buying in March

David Bygrave, Financial Director, bought 24,750 shares in the company on the 10th March 2016 at a price of 80.00p. The Director now holds 37,250 shares.

going for iyt

[rubberbullets] 12/7/2016 15:51

Back to 90p

[smarm] 06/7/2016 12:47

They have given reason for fall.......hiring decisions being delayed.

[2vdm] 06/7/2016 12:42

I've been royally hit here having bought on share prophets recommendation at 87p. Any views as to whether this fall has been overdone and may come back or is it just a guessing game? Views appreciated. TIA

[breaktwister] 01/7/2016 17:06

I very nearly bought in after the huge drop recently. The main concern here is the status of financial jobs in london and recent reports of big banks directing investment and jobs elsewhere. Financial services creates a hell of a lot of IT positions that are also at risk if financial jobs move elsewhere.

[2vdm] 30/6/2016 12:03

Very annoying, but it is a niche recruiter and so will not be as hard hit as the general market whilst uncertainty exists. Let's not forget that it continues to trade and as penpont points out above with a PE of 5.9 and falling + a dividend, this is still worth hanging onto in my view.

[tightfist] 28/6/2016 11:26

tsmith,I often see your posts and smile - unfortunately I think the Avoid list is a lot longer than Housebuilders and Recruitment/Staffing.I would have thought Jam-Tomorrow cash-consuming concept stocks (where I am prone to love affairs) would have been hammered, but SO FAR my three are holding up reasonably well. Is there a thread running on sectors/industries in favour (apart from precious metals).Cheers, tightfist
