True, but its current yield of 2.9% makes it more of a poor duchess than a nouveau riche.

nearly a quid better than early December ,, praise the lord !

That statement does not contain the B word. But it does contain the usual quiet understatement that is taking the share price towards a 2 yr high.

Great chart this year. Holding and prospering.

Yes, Makes Youngs and Brooks macdonald look pretty pedestrian! They had been good while this languished, Spread it around is a good motto.

The recent share price recovery looks particularly good compared to just about anything else in my portfolio. Quality is coming through here I think.

[wad collector] 07/12/2018 14:31

As you say , though disappointing where the share price is now compared to last yr. Hold and prosper?

Chairman's Statement to the Annual General Meeting James Halstead plc, the commercial flooring company, is holding its 103(rd) AGM today at 12.00 noon at which the Chairman, Mr Anthony Wild, will make the following statement: "As is customary, I would like to give you an update on trading now that we are five months into the current financial year. In this, my first year as Chairman, I am pleased to announce we have continued our long record of increased dividend payments with the proposed final dividend of 9.65p, being paid today, and we continue to grow our cash balances. There is much speculation on the future trading relationship of the UK with Europe but our trading is global and we, as a Board, are confident of growth but mindful of potential short term issues. Our robust balance sheet and strong cash flows are undoubtedly key strengths. It was noted in our Annual Results, announced on 25 September 2018, that we had several new ranges launched into the market place in recent months. Following a GBP2m investment in Palettone, our design led homogenous vinyl sheet collection, I am pleased to report that customer interest has already exceeded our expectations and examples of installations are the Charité Universitätsmedizin, Berlin and the Théâtre du Petit Saint Martin on Rue René Boulanger, Paris. In addition Polysafe Verona Pure Colour (our dementia friendly flooring) has been installed in Marymount Nursing home in Dublin. In conclusion, trading to date has been encouraging and we have traded ahead of last year in terms of turnover and profits for the first five months. I am confident in the prospects of the Company and more importantly I remain confident of maintaining our impressive record of dividend growth."

That looks a better chart now closing the week at about 408. Maybe that was a Midas effect. Gone a bit gilded?

The multiple went from a bear market low of around 5X to 28X in 2017. It would surprise me if the multiple dipped near single figures during the next downturn. JHD has provided exceptional longer term returns.

[gripfit] 22/11/2018 22:26

People investing in this and other aim stocks for the wrong reason . Trying to save on iht, but the potential saving now being lost in capital devaluation . The whole mkt is bloated ,,, in fact , every mkt is bloated . Massive correction on its way in a lot of markets in my opinion .

[essentialinvestor] 22/11/2018 20:54

Great longer investment, however the multiple had reached near la la land levels. Late cycle, some mean reversion kicking in. Just my guesstimate.

[gripfit] 22/11/2018 16:09

Looks like a classic case of “ the mkt knew first” !!

[gripfit] 22/11/2018 11:22

heres your chance wad collector.... trading update due in a couple of weeks.

[wad collector] 05/11/2018 17:20

Looks like I missed the chance for a cheap top-up last week ; got too greedy on my buy limit. JHD share price will rise significantly again one day I feel sure....

[essentialinvestor] 02/11/2018 11:48

The multiple is still well over 20 X.

[losses] 25/10/2018 13:23

Wasn't there a 10 for 1 something a few years back... in old value these are still around 8-10 pounds

[gripfit] 25/10/2018 12:42

This has already corrected £5:25 before lol

[losses] 25/10/2018 09:54

Double or triple bottoms mean nothing when the markets are correcting...350 coming soon.
