Hmm, I was unaware of that strike and there is a concerning note to the statement about energy costs
I was thinking about adding on weakness but think I will go elsewhere now.

AGM statement

Xd 5.5p this week. Has the share price finally bottomed out?

[bda3490] 11/10/2022 17:22

Still giggling at the “didn’t understand the share spilt” comment from the seasonal investor!!

Twice as many at half the price !

IC says HOLD after this week's results, FWIW.

[wad collector] 03/10/2022 20:58

Not bad considering...
But with a flat dividend, in danger of losing that unbroken 45 yr annual dividend rise. Though actually , on a calendar year basis they have not, as the rebased interim one was up about 0.12p or so....

I haven't sold out, but it's a bit bottom drawer since they did the share split. I didn't like that much.

[bda3490] 29/9/2022 17:16

Obviously everyone has sold out
Used to be an active site this !

I’m flapping a bit because a few of my shares had ok trading updates then results are rubbish due to unexpected/ unprecedented/ Fx rates/ bomd market etc excuses

[bda3490] 15/9/2022 21:45

Quite a jump to 221p ?

Just after the confirmation of results on 3 October!

Anything I’m missing on news ?

[wad collector] 11/9/2022 08:36

Mentioned in IC this week as an opportunity to buy with a strong market position particularly as vinyl is relatively cheap and they are now well positioned. Failed to pick some more up under £2 myself, was too greedy.

[bda3490] 16/8/2022 16:47

I’ll say this . Options exercise today. At least JHD issue options at the market price nor Nil like others

[bda3490] 04/8/2022 19:08

Is somebody shorting these shares

[zangdook] 01/8/2022 06:55

Fortunately...unfortunately...fortunately...unfortunately...

[lundhousegreen] 01/8/2022 06:25

Trading update...

[wad collector] 18/7/2022 17:25

Well spotted, I told you it was cheap!

I mistakenly relied on the ADVFN financials tool which is often out of date.

[essentialinvestor] 13/7/2022 15:56

11 ?, that can't be correct - are you omitting the stock split in that calculation.

[wad collector] 13/7/2022 15:37

Well that was a healthy bounce off the bottom today ; hoping we have the worst behind us but never know what is round the corner. P/E now 11 which does seem a bit overdone considering the strong market position. The demand for quality flooring may come and go but it won't go away.

[coolen] 20/6/2022 22:07

You're probably okay with this one. There is a persistent institutional seller (each time I buy there's instantly another chunk offered) so I'm guessing it may be a fund suffering redemptions.

[wad collector] 20/6/2022 09:48

Wrong on that one , but added some more at 213p today. Reread the interims and I see this as a buying opportunity.

[wad collector] 09/6/2022 21:03

Strong finish today ; dare I suggest that we have seen bottom?

[wad collector] 11/4/2022 22:32

I misquoted
"the company has been busy enough to abstain from bidding for some high-volume work to focus on more profitable lines"

[kar120c] 11/4/2022 16:06

"Avoiding bidding for low margin contracts"? They are a manufacturer not a contractor.

[wad collector] 10/4/2022 22:22

IC have an article on the results this week , looking at raw material cost rises and the JHD strategy of increasing stock and avoiding bidding for low margin contracts. The Panmure Gordon earnings forecast reduction to 9.7p this year brings the HOLD conclusion (At 232p). I see their last view was hold in October , at about 270p equivalent.
