Lpa Share Discussion Threads

[castleford tiger] 23/6/2018 07:59

I see good value here with a company that will make around 2m and is valued at under 14m.
All the possible negatives have been discussed but of course NO-ONE is allowing for a boost to the order book.

I started at just over 30p ( and I still hold them) and I remain a long term holder.
The PR is not good and the wording sometimes laughable.

I can pick good parts out and with over 14p a share eps in the bag this year and a possible slight reduction next they cannot be expensive.
Clearly the market does not like uncertainty and hammered the price some 40%.
I think LPA could ( well is )be a target and now we are wide open.

More clarity in about 6+ months.

Regards
Tiger

Put a limit order in for 50p

LPA hit a peak of £2.05 intraday, it was overpriced.

It is a solid business but will not grow at a runaway rate unless it can expand into new markets. LED lights are the future but have been so for some time now.

Yes it is cheap at these levels-market chosing to take a very negative view of prospects -not helped by the vague confusing utterances.

Market cap 13m for a company making 2 m and a shed load of real assets.

Stepped in and placed an order for 30,000

............ Share Options ...........

I expect to read an RNS re the grant of share options any day now.

Someone correct me if I am wrong , but there seems to be no non exec on the BOD that oversees the award of these.

Plus they seem to get awarded with no performance target/s

I would like to see that the next Options at around current share price today

1. 25% of the awards vest when the LPA share price gets to 150p

2. 50% of the awards vest when the share price gets to 175p

3. 100% of the awards vest when the share price gets to 200p

Options granted for 5 years

Suggests a return to 90p for the head and shoulder to form?

[bamboo2] 21/6/2018 20:35

fwiw, A monster Head and shoulders in the making since Feb 2016 kept lpa firmly on my watchlist. This is now confirmed with a tp approx 93.
Feel bad for holders. No position.

[hastings] 21/6/2018 19:33

Of course, message me and I'll forward on.

[castleford tiger] 21/6/2018 19:20

Thanks I saw the 1.9 down from 2.2 which was forecast but I wanted to read the whole thing. Can u share please?
Assume it’s Irelands?

[hastings] 21/6/2018 17:43

I've already posted on this CT, the note was released in conjunction with the RNS.

[castleford tiger] 21/6/2018 16:49

I am waiting for them to
1)
Grant some new options

2)
Buy shares

The broker has clearly been kept in the dark as well.

Anyone seen the note or is there not one?

[meijiman] 21/6/2018 16:16

He certainly needs to take advice on how to write. Think he was the 'galloping' author -looks like the nag has slowed to a trot and maybe it will be a faller at the next fence if the going becomes firmer.

[freddie ferret] 21/6/2018 14:14

I got out of this quite a while back.
I am not surprised.

I think the message is that this is quite a solid company but the days of very high growth are over. It's the order book.

LED lighting is a good business, however it is a maturing business, it will be competitive in the future.

I think there is more to life than just trains.

For what it is worth I purchased a while back for 93p, but as I have said, have been out a while now.

In 2017, LPA exported £3.5m to the EU out of a total turnover of £22.5m or 15.6%.

It makes me wonder sometimes why certain individuals want to gamble on the Stock Market. When they back a winner, accolades with smiles from ear-to-ear. Should a company unfortunately loose them a few quid, the vitriol aimed at that company spouts thick and fast for ever and a day. Surely the safe haven of a Building Society would give them far less angst!

Joe sure some companies will be okay others will prosper, but so what is your point.Im in business again now and previous business was manufacturing in consumer electronics. Both now and previously my business successes was 100% reliant upon the prosperity of the general public. When they dont have so much free cash available to spend, I get a lot poorer and I have to take less money in wages and employ less people or pay them less too.Its really not rocket science is it !

I apologise for responding to the Brexit issue on these thread, I should have known better with Brexit being such an emotive issue for some, and some so entrenched in their viewpoint that they will see negatives at every opportunity.

Always best to keep an open and balanced mind if at all possible.

Back to LPA. I won't blame Brexit or Trump for my loss, it was just a badly timed trade where I made a mistake which I will try and learn from. Hopefully LPA will present a better opportunity where I can buy again with a better outcome.

Good luck to holders.

[joe say] 21/6/2018 12:30

MRF - you've missed the Brexit points entirely

There is a whole world out there with which we can now trade, free of Brussels bureaucracy

Whilst some industries/companies will lose out the overall effect should be positive but I suspect I'm talking to deaf ears

[scooper72] 21/6/2018 11:59

Couldn't get a decent price after I missed the 124p offer. Have ended selling my small original 2.7k holding for 116p. Had been wondering over last few months where this was going. Never easy to see the future.

[ansc] 21/6/2018 11:41

As at 11.15, 189k shares marked (not all of which were sells) out of 12,376k shares in issue or 1.53%, gets things into perspective a bit. Of course there could be HUGE sells being strategically 'delayed' by the Market Manipulators but we won't know that until late this afternoon.
