A big sell at 10.03, then another after that. Perhaps we are allowed to move on now.

[el chupacabra] 04/1/2013 11:14

is something afoot?

[redips2] 31/12/2012 12:08

Thought I had bought enough of these----cheaper to day, so maybe not.

[scottishfield] 28/12/2012 17:37

good time to pick up a few more perhaps, good NY all.

[nicedude1976] 24/12/2012 12:43

trade analysis - utterly pointless.
the price trend suggests weakness, both absolute and relative to the market.
long term looking good.

Tide turning ? Bounce off previous support.

[sleveen] 13/12/2012 19:33

let's see if the previos support at 210p holds.

Plus if you look at the trade history there were 4 (apparently) separate relatively large buy trades (500,000 + 500,000 + 600,000 + 100,000) within seconds of each other at 11.20 approx. So, possibly all from the same source. But WERE they buys - or were they sells? In any event the drop in the price thereafter (just 2 to 3p) was relatively small, so think one could over-analyse the price movement, especially as the whole market was weaker today.

Probably a seller(Institution)off loading, and buyers taking up the slack. Volume today was 3x normal average over a 52 week period

If ADVFN trades are to be regarded as a reasonably accurate account of trading can anyone offer an opinion as to why the share price should fall when seemingly 1.8m shares were bought and only 253K sold.

nice share price reversal today & Dec tomorrow, so the board needed a Nov post.

[nicedude1976] 31/10/2012 12:28

not yet for me :)

[redips2] 30/10/2012 09:27

and again---enough now. :)

[redips2] 26/10/2012 18:51

And last but not least, I have added too.

[mechanical trader] 26/10/2012 15:53

[scottishfield] 26/10/2012 15:40

I've taken the opportunity to buy some.

[churchtower] 25/10/2012 14:47

223972 shares seemingly bought today and 46745 sold and yet the price goes down !!

[churchtower] 24/10/2012 11:55

Also two BUY recommendations issued today - Espirito Santo Execution Noble and UBS.

In the present climate these are good results and I am content to hold. CH.

[mechanical trader] 23/10/2012 07:59

Good solid set of results.

outlook is bullish.

[broadwood] 23/10/2012 07:43

Yep, should reassure the market.

[sleveen] 23/10/2012 07:27

The best IMS from an elctronic/industrial type stock I have seen in the past two months eg VLX XPP etc. A blue finish today IMHO.

Revenue in the third quarter was £133 million (2011: £121 million), up 10% on the prior year. Revenue expressed in US Dollars was $210 million (2011: $195 million). On an organic* basis, revenue was 2% higher year-on-year in the third quarter of 2012, with the month of September showing double digit growth year-on-year. Revenue in the third quarter of 2012 increased 4% on the second quarter of 2012.

Year-to-date revenue at the end of the third quarter was up 3% compared to the prior year, but 2% lower on an organic* basis. For the same period operating margins have improved over the prior year as a result of vertical integration efficiencies and the rationalisation of certain product lines to exit lower margin business.

Our financial position remains healthy with net debt in-line with previous expectations for the full year.
