That is right PJ 1,then we have the exceptional gain on the property which bumps it up. It is next year and beyond that interests me after the restructuring is complete and further LED momentum drives the profit forward.

That does include the exceptional though doesn't it Tiger.

[castleford tiger] 07/10/2013 21:38

No but over 10 p in current year just ended

[simon gordon] 07/10/2013 14:50

Are there any EPS forecasts for 2014?

TIA

[castleford tiger] 07/10/2013 10:07

Thank you.
The drop is not really a drop but m/m playing games.
I know you need to sell on a strong day here.
My 97p sell was the highest in recent times and it closed lower.

Wanting to buy 3x 20k so 60,000 shares about 44k.
Not a great deal.
OFFERED 3750 OR 7500. 10,000 ARE 63P.

so the price is wrong and i am doing a bit of arbitrage.

After reviewing my portfolio I sold my small position here a few weeks ago taking a loss.

Personally, I can't help but feel there's something I don't know about here and they're riskier than they look. It's more gut instinct than anything else though. It's partially based on the chart.

CT, make sure you don't fall in love with the share as you never know what could be around the corner. I know you've been regularly topping up so try not to get in too deep!
Either they're good value here or the drop is an indication that something bad is about to happen. Hopefully it's the former and they'll go back up again given some time.

Good luck!

I am with the man from Bengal!

[pj 1] 04/10/2013 19:30

CT
Good Luck

But most of my other stocks have been rising considerably . In fact from August 2012 you could say the chart is looking bearish (although I do not really support that and expect good things of this Co medium term). Hope you hear News before January update

PJ1

this is crazy.

[pj 1] 04/10/2013 16:18

Just for the record I'm out. Still on watch list for re-entry when rise begins.

[hastings] 04/10/2013 13:11

Yes, but you can't count an exceptional profit can you.

[olliemag2] 03/10/2013 14:22

Broker/analyst on website Digital Look has increased Y Sep13 f/c obviously now including property sale and costs. His Pre tax profit f/c was 0.8m now 1.7m.
eps f/c was 5.6p now 10.1p.

By all accounts stewy, the Led side should underpin a large part of the business by 2015. A mkt cap considerably higher than this level should be on the cards if things pan out as envisaged.

[stewy_18] 26/9/2013 10:46

Yes, looks like 2014 will be a good year. I think they are more focussed on moving this year. If they can just improve their margins for the non-LED part of their business, this should do very well. I am still hoping the LED business will be the predominant one in 3 years time, because they seem to have a niche market there with a bit of pricing power to boot. Hopefully the year-end results are not too bad, but you never know.

Bring on 2014.

[nickjoseph] 26/9/2013 08:57

Probably right. Tried some dummy trades and they are buys. Once the news gets out further rises should happen. Good luck..

[dvb99] 26/9/2013 08:45

/wouldn't be uo 2.5p at opening if they were selllers

[hastings] 26/9/2013 08:26

Would have thought they were buys. Be surprised if they don't move higher through the day.

[pj 1] 26/9/2013 08:25

No. At least 2 of those are Buys!

Traded within the shown spread.

[nickjoseph] 26/9/2013 08:20

Shares not up much with this news. Are today's share trades all sellers. Looks like it on Advfn

[pj 1] 26/9/2013 08:20

Surprised by the slow reaction

[hastings] 26/9/2013 08:16

That is very good for LPA today. Mkt cap remains tiny given strengthened balance sheet and future prospects.

[bigbigdave] 26/9/2013 07:13

That should give a boost

Yes Meijiman, I would expect quite a bit more considering the trading update.

Tomorrow maybe an interesting day!
