Upbeat article in IC this week pointing out the long term strength of the company and its recent export successes combined with the impending boardroom switches of experienced operators. No debt and a £74m cash pile.
Mind you , IC has been consistently tipping JHD before and during the share price slide of the last 3 yrs.

May be wrong but a fair bit of the IHT value must be discounted by now, it is no secret and the AIM sector has dropped since Labour got in.
The AIM 50 is 5% down since Election but FTSE100 and all share are flat. The AIM sector has underperformed the FTSE in the last 3 yrs for other reasons , the AIM 50 has dropped 32% over that period whilst the FTSE 100 has risen 14%. The AIM All Share has dropped 40% whilst the FTSE All Share has risen 10%.
The clever money has already got out of AIM I suspect (sadly not me) though inertia and scepticism about the rule change has probably stopped a lot of tactical trading. Maybe the Gov will see a destabilising of the AIM and discouragement to future investment as too high a price to pay for the IHT relief but that is probably optimistic given the opportunity to tax the rich even more. The specific AIM portfolio funds will no longer be much of an attraction I presume.

Results due Tuesday I believe (1 Oct).

I think there is a general market malaise re AIM stocks; I'm guessing investors are expecting Rachael Reeves to remove the IHT benefits and so are switching out of many AIM companies. Disappointing but I suspect a short term blip in the grand scheme of things for well run companies like JHD.

Profit before tax at record levels ; that will do. JHD like quiet understatement.

Maybe you have some insight as to the share price. I think it’s small holders that don’t buy on weakness and like moaning .

But maybe the overdue trading update will tell us of the woes.

The share price looks like it is heading for a care home at the moment!
25 yrs of steady rise made JHD one of the darlings of the AIM market but this has been one of the longest dips . I suspect most of us are just holding on and awaiting a gradual change in fortune . If the new gov changes the AIM IHT rules then it won't help.

EPS roughly back to the 2021 figures. Bearing in mind the tendency JHD have for understatement, the cautious optimism reads well. But maybe the market needs to see some stronger numbers before the share price will recover substantially?

I made good money on JHD in the days of special dividends and a rising sp, sometimes dealing , but mostly sitting on them. Then I started doing a bit more trading , based more on price changes than investment logic , which did well for a bit but ultimately , I realised, is a flawed strategy. Buying low and selling high the same share will eventually result in either watching it sail away over the horizon sitting on the cash, or paying too much for a falling and failing share. I ended up with a portfolio full of lemons ,many of which eventually went bust . JHD was one of the safe investments which kept my portfolio above water during this period but I did sell most of them and bought back in a few yrs ago. Once referred to as the "darling of AIM" it has been disappointing to see such a solid company slide down the share price rankings. Ironically it was a main market listing that converted to AIM around the time of the share split.
I take a more cautious investment approach now, partly as I get nearer to retirement my strategy is changing. Never bought a Investment Trust or a Fund until a couple of years ago. I also acknowledge that the whole share trading/watching thing is rather addictive and part of the fun. I doubt many people here are completely detached from that. Or else they would never post I guess. It's a strange thing that after 23 yrs on advfn I have no idea the identities of posters ; the anonymity of chatrooms...
