Quiet here on todays news:

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Johnson Service Group PLC (JSG.LN), provider of services to consumers and businesses, Monday said its subsidiary SGP Property & Facilities Management Ltd., has been awarded a national facilities management contract with Johnston Press PLC (JPR.LN) for an initial 3-year term and added that total revenue is expected to be GBP10 million over the life of the contract.


JSG had a trading update on June 30th last year.

"Could shoe repair and key cutting-specialist Timpsons be readying a move for Johnson Service Group? Blog rumours to that effect suggested privately-owned Timpson might be interested in a tie-up, citing city rumours that the two are working more and more closely together, and suggested a price as high as 60p-70p-a-share. That would be a hefty premium to yesterday's closing price of 34p.

Traders and brokers didn't rule out the suggestion on Thursday. On the one hand it could be structured to give Timpsons a public listing, they suggested, and likewise there seemed an intrinsic rationale to tieing up two companies who specialise in "grudge purchases". Johnson Service Group is best known for its dry cleaning, and with outlets in similar places, there might also be property synergies between the two, market sources said. Johnson rose 0.5p yesterday, up by 1.5%."

Interesting number 60p. Divisible by 2,3,5,6,10,12,15,20, and 30. Also my target for taking profits or at least reviewing the target price based on updated information. To get there in one giant leap would be a pleasant surprise. As 60p is also the price at which the Director's full bonus package kicks in then I'm sure they would be keen to recommend any offer at this level. Purely in the interests of shareholders you understand.

[liberatingsteptoe] 10/6/2011 11:40

Ah, yes!
Suggestions of a tie-up with Timpsons at a mooted price of 60-70p a share. Now that would be good.......

I suppose a refund is out of the question!!

[mesquida] 22/2/2011 13:42

And still ADVFN is not showing the correct quote for this stock! Come on guys, this is now the seventh day that you are failing your subscribers!

[mesquida] 21/2/2011 08:40

Six days into a new trading platform and we are still getting the wrong quote for this stock. As I understand it the touch price is 35/36 and it has been that since the start of trade today. I cannot believe that the LSE still does not have this problem under control.

[jp5000] 20/2/2011 14:40

I think they have done exceptionally well considering the current and past state of the economy plus they have a shareholder voucher scheme

[cockneyrebel] 20/2/2011 13:08

yep, saw the 35p bid on Proquote - didn't realise it hadn't registered on ADVFN.

This stock is now beginning to develop a head of steam prior to results on 8th March. It is almost as if somebody knew that things are going significantly better than what was intimated in the recent trading statement. And with the PER still in single figures this run could go quite a long way.
Friday's closing price was somewhat firmer than ADVFN would have you believe! The bid was 35p from about 3pm onwards so we definitely now have a chart breakout!
