Great time to buy now the spread has narrowed imv.

[battlebus2] 14/12/2012 16:57

Yes the dividend is very much appreciated. I see a very sizeable trade of 16500 shares today :))

Chunky dividend in a weeks time, time to reinvest imv. Harvey Nash gave an ahead statement this morning which bodes well for the sector.

This is one of the reasons why Matchtech is such a hidden gem - hopefully not hidden for too much longer.

A fortnight ago on the 14th. November, Matchtech Group won a highly prestigious accolade at the internationally renowned Recruitment International Awards for 2012 held at the Connaught Rooms , London.

Voted by industry peers, Matchtech won the award as "MOST ADMIRED RECRUITMENT COMPANY".



To be voted into that position by your industry peer group is a great recognition and perhaps points to and supports the investment attractions of Matchtech as a high quality growth company, paying a mouth-watering dividend and as the key player in its chosen industry segment.

CEO, Adrian Gunn commented at the ceremony "This sort of success and recognition within our industry does not come without a huge amount of commitment and hard work".

Very impressive.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

11000 late trade at 240 reported this morning :))

[battlebus2] 16/11/2012 12:44

Yeah should go a lot higher ,brokers overly cautious imv.

[quepassa] 16/11/2012 12:42

Excellent trading update by Matchtech.

Very buoyant outlook. Positive earnings trend. Strong demand for their services.

Good growth prospects for business.

ALSO:- Seymour Pierce UPGRADE Matchtech from add to BUY with PRICE TARGET of 260p.





Personally I see it significantly higher than that.


ALL IMO.

DYOR.

Loverly AGM statement-Skill shortages are driving unprecedented demand for contract staff in our markets and our diversification strategy is broadening our client base and allowing us to take market share.

With our high quality staff and robust business model, we are positioned well for continued growth by supplying global clients working on large, multi-year infrastructure projects in the UK and overseas.

We look forward with confidence to the year ahead."

YEP and X divi here tomorrow.

[quepassa] 06/11/2012 08:28

Strong than expected results today from market-leader Adecco point to a bouyant market for Matchtech who are a more recruitment specialist firm.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

That late reported 6k sale knocked these back today, as you say probably wanted to avoid the dividend.

[battlebus2] 02/11/2012 12:41

Yep you can buy 5k for 249.5 plus get your 10.6p dividend :))

[quepassa] 02/11/2012 12:36

Agreed.

Also some marginal selling by some investors who prefer a capital gain rather than an ex-divi stock plus dividend.

Good time to accumulate.

All IMO. DYOR.

[battlebus2] 02/11/2012 09:37

x divi for 10.6p or 6.22% for the year on the 7th next Wednesday. I think the mm's will slowly drop these to catch a few shares for themselves.

For those who haven't read it, the recent Edison research note following the preliminary results spells out the Matchtech proposition in good detail. The Edison note on Matchtech is titled:-

Right Place, right time.

Well through the 250 barrier easily. With 6% dividend these have fabulous growth and income prospects imv.

[quepassa] 25/10/2012 08:05

The trick is finding the stock. Blocks of around 750 seem to go through ok electronically at the market offer price. More than that can be perhaps slightly challenging in a single purchase given how tightly held this stock is.

Agreed . The dividend of 6.5% is mouth-watering, especially for a profitable and mature but fast expanding business originally founded in 1984 which now has a turnover of £370million

My guess is that George Materna the founding non-exec Chairman and largest shareholder, owning alomost 34% of The Company,would like to see nothing other than the Company continue to pay or increase the current dividend.

With improving employment figures and a VERY STRONG demand for specialist engineers, the field in which Matchtech excels, the Company is very well placed to see great demand for its services in my view.

This Company is one of those unsung AIM-listed Companies ( due to the general current market indifference towards smaller companies ) which is off the radar but potentially a real gem waiting to be discovered.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Certainly is and still paying a fabulous 6.5% dividend.

[quepassa] 18/10/2012 07:38

Significantly undervalued by the market in my view.

ALL IMO. DYOR.
