See post 1229 above Have just bought 1/3rd of my original holding back. Price approx 100p below previous highs in May. Still quite a chunky p/e (24x prospective) but 3% yield. Results due soon - 2nd Oct.

Tipped in Shares mag today

Not holding breath over a special dividend - the last one was 4 yrs ago and still wouldn't take the yield up to the FTSE all share average. However does look like the share price weakness has passed for now. And the spread has narrowed to an unusually tight 0.3%.

Started to rise again ? Can't get over the pre-close announcing record results and the price dropping but did see press comment quoting the UK situation. Still think we are in special divi territory - again

Agree it is not cheap , but it seems a safe long term investment ; I just bought some back at 430. I worry more about the possibility of a disaster in Korea than the price of materials.

fbrj14 Apr '17 - 08:02 - 1210 of 1228 0 0 Edit "JHD has been a core holding of mine for well over 3 years. In January I took the decision to sell down a chunk (60%) at an average price of 492p and then watched it steadily rise from there! The reason for my (reluctant) decision was principally the p/e which I felt was too high given the actual growth rate and I think borne out by the recent interims. Even now (with the shares down some 45p from their recent highs) it is on a rating of 26x current year's earnings and 27x next year - with an eps growing at 4%. Having said that I would be looking to reinstate it as a core holding if the rating became, in my view, more realistic." For once my timing has been quite good! Following the above post I sold the remaining 40% of my holding at an average of 520p during the spike up in May. Back on the watch list following today's reaction and previous decline....a yield of 3% is not to be sniffed at either.....

and my earlier one of £4 looming

[gripfit] 01/8/2017 09:31

looks like my post on the 28th was correct..

It looks as though the market stopped reading before the final paragraph and missed the bit about the company being confident of record turnover and profit :-)

[lundhousegreen] 01/8/2017 08:23

The finals are announced Oct 2nd.

[lundhousegreen] 26/7/2017 08:29

Pre-close trading statement is due in the next few days.

[wad collector] 19/7/2017 16:06

Interesting looking rise closing at 487 ; wonder why?

[jimbowen30] 12/7/2017 11:09

I bought a few last week to tuck away for the long term. Not cheap, but solid long term growth prospects and a reasonable yield.

[gripfit] 12/7/2017 09:17

these are looking like touching £4 again, unless a very good trading statement is forthcoming.

[wad collector] 27/6/2017 11:22

Buy and forget! Not a bargain on fundamentals and the ftse at near ATH does not scream buy to me , but I bought some back earlier this month for an investment not a trade.

[wingrove4] 19/6/2017 07:39

Sold out some months ago and now thinking about buying back in any thoughts?

[saint or sinner?] 09/6/2017 15:10

I imagine there will be a post election flight to quality!

[wad collector] 07/6/2017 15:18

Bought some back at 481 ; pre-election jitters?

[elmfield] 09/5/2017 15:22

Lots of folk putting new isa money to bed? Most of my stuff is flying today.

[saint or sinner?] 09/5/2017 15:05

Oi Oi! New high.

[gripfit] 18/4/2017 17:39

could be a delayed seller from a while ago

[wad collector] 18/4/2017 12:39

Opportunities beckoning? Someone just snaffled 70k at 468p , but with 200million in issue , still not even a thousandth of total.
