A solid set of figures as we continue to expect. Profit flat but justified in the report.Hold and forget. (Looks like the market has forgotten about JHD too!)

Commendable full year results without an adjustment in sight - others should take note! Investor's Champion has issued a new Blog taking an in-depth look at this excellent business.

Bit of volume today with a tighter spread than usual ; perhaps we are going to see the share price heading North with prelims on the 27th?

not good this ,,, nearly a £ less than a few weeks ago . hope they have some good news with results

[gripfit] 07/8/2018 13:02

mkt knows that I think

Iht benefit could be altered at any time, not a reason to buy imv.

[gripfit] 07/8/2018 08:56

predominately buys this morning though..

[gripfit] 07/8/2018 08:54

Waddy,,, I think there may have been a lot of people buying this at above £5 , for thye wrong reason. Iht benefits probably to save tax, but the loss is probably now more than the tax that they are likely to pay .

Moving towards a 3 yr share price low ; not what would be expected post results. Hard to justify a 40% share price drop in the last year. Or perhaps had got ahead of itself?

[gripfit] 02/8/2018 10:44

looks like 3;50 this ........

Two of AIM’s more honest companies, James Halstead and Quartix Holdings, from opposite ends of the age spectrum, continue to focus on nice clean numbers. New comment on our website.

could do with share price tarting up ,,,

[henchard] 25/7/2018 13:27

Agreed elmfield - I do love JHD's no-nonsense approach to accounting and transparency. Too much obfuscation and cosmetic tarting up at too many companies.

[elmfield] 25/7/2018 13:14

Proper accounting, Could do with more of that! 😬

[gripfit] 25/7/2018 12:54

2 mill better then

"gripfit 25 Jul '18 - 08:44 - 1277 of 1277 0 0 0 In line with last year ??" Yes but qualified by the sentence directly above it in the release ... In line with best practice, we shall expense these costs rather than amortise or construct an adjustment to "underlying" earnings.

[gripfit] 25/7/2018 08:44

In line with last year ??

The Aiea bid news was 22nd May , wouldn't really explain a share price rise 4 week later. Mind you there is often no clear reason for a share price change , even if some analysts confidentally give their opinion that it is due to X. Sometimes just "Noise" .

[trigger blade] 26/6/2018 13:49

I just checked the same thing and on 20/21 there were buys over 450, a large number of buys/sells of small quantities, which often happens with JHD and I've always assumed they were employee profit share scheme trades. There was also a big buy of 82100 at 451.7692. Anyway, I had assumed the rise was a reaction to the announcement that they wouldn't bid for AIEA. I am at a loss to explain the subsequent drop and pleased to see it going up again :-)

[wad collector] 26/6/2018 12:46

Ah yes ,I went too far back, as you say. No news no broker upgrades that I can find.
