Judges Scientific Share Discussion Threads

Circurel retains 544,343 shares

So fair enough, £6M was but a small part of his pile! He will have to figure out how to get round the problem of £50M worth of Judges to avoid IHT. My own potential IHT trouble is on a rather smaller scale...

Cicurel's sale may well have been some judicious selling ahead of the mooted rise in CGT which did in fact come to pass.

He still has a massive holding in the business (can't be bothered to check right now but did at the time of the sale).

Revenue deals only shift to next Qtr so results drive to increased revenues and orders increase.

Get on the Train to make a Gain as Success Increases.

The CEO Sell was allowed because the closed period for TUs is only one month , he could not have sold then if it was an Annual Result today. I am sure he didn't know what was in the TU....

Cheap as chips nice topping up as revenue returns in 2025.

Great opportunity as demand increases.

Happy Days

CEO, Mr Circurel, has sold 60,000 shares at £100



How timely!

This will recover by eotd. Seems to have a lotal following.

[bubloo] 18/11/2024 08:13

pe of around thirty ( 30 ) with no growth. I think outrageous

What would then be the correct price?

[grahamburn] 22/10/2024 14:16

Sharp turnround today. Volatility may be caused by rumours of IHT exemption being reduced/cut completely

[stevensupertrader] 21/10/2024 13:39

SP likely to fall below £80 soon.
SP Over price and extremely high P/E

[ifthecapfits] 01/10/2024 10:05

Bought a few on friday. Seems a reasonable entry point.

CEO, Mr Circurel, has sold 60,000 shares at £100 and Norwegian fund Odin Forvaltning has upped it's stake from 6.45% to 8.37%. A significant increase so I assume they must see good value at this price, which is off about 20% since earlier this year.

Happy days and Great Value at these levels.

Thanks a lot, Tudes100

Shore at 349p adj EPS for FY24, Zeus at 346p

[ymaheru] 19/9/2024 08:09

Aren’t they predicted earnings of 381p? Is that outdated info? That gives p/e of 26.

I’m considering buying in a pullback today.

[slogsweep] 19/9/2024 07:51

Good company had them since 2019. Sold most of them earlier this year and the rest today. They have become too expensive for me at PE over 30 projected. Have pencilled in a buy back at <£80

[ymaheru] 19/9/2024 07:14

Isn’t this all inline with their July trading update?
They said there’d likely be a 20% drop in EPS, and adjusted EPS is 19% down.

Didn’t they have a statutory loss this time in 2023 and only 44p in 2022? Today’s 63.3p reads well enough in that context.

FY guidance remains unchanged.

No nasty shocks here.

[cornishman33] 19/9/2024 06:31

Disappointing results this morning. Profit, eps and net cash all down, dividend up 10% which is the minimum they set themselves. Looking for a positive they expect a significant improvement in the second half. Let’s hope so.

Sorry, James, but don't understand your reference "the share price may well climb back to the heady levels that you mention".

The reference to "heady" was very tongue in cheek in the sense that I purchased my first three tranches of Judges at £14/£15 (actually should have referred to £14/£17) between 2015 and 2016. Those prices were then considered by many to be "heady". Then I top sliced at £50 in 2020 (another "heady" price) banking a 211% gain and finally added back in 2022 at £68.

All in all still showing a 294% gain at the current very "reasonable" price of £104! (NB quite a way from £14!!!)

I am relaxed and firmly believe that it will reach much a higher (not heady) price in years to come, even if David Cicurel retires as an excellent team has been built up around him

[james188] 15/8/2024 16:13

grahamburn, I think and hope that the share price may well climb back to the heady levels that you mention. JDG is a class act and manages to execute sensible deals on a regular basis. However, I note that it is now having to pay higher multiples of EBIT to secure deals. I wonder when it will next do a transaction on the scale of Geotek, or higher.

I also think that JDG is preparing sensibly for the inevitable retirement of David Cicurel, although I very much hope that he stays around for a few more years, as people of that exceptional calibre are extremely rare. He has done a fantastic job. Maybe JDG will add someone else from Halma? It has become something of a feeder organisation - and no bad thing at that.

[grahamburn] 14/8/2024 14:38

Not anxious, James, just interested that it has shown more volatility than usual, as I noted in 2180.

After all, I have held this share since the then heady days of £14/£15!!

[james188] 13/8/2024 17:22

This sort of thing invariably happens with small caps where traded daily volumes are relatively small. Over time, the share price performance has been excellent. I tend to buy on the dips. No point in getting too anxious about short term volatility on no news.
