Management Consulting Share Discussion Threads

With 5p plus eps likely this calendar year...and around 6p for 2007...and greater visibility of earnings according to MMC itself...these shares deserve to be 75p plus...and Schroders' heavy, consistent buying supports this view imho...

Good luck all!

ps another just about to breakout imho is IQE...

Welsheagle

Mail on Sunday share tip.Basicaly stated the that the company was worth a
punt because it gives advice to companies on how to improve profitability,
but is based on the talents of the people it employs, also that MMC is looking to purchase another company to add to the Parson Consulting [a successful acquisition]in the future but no names were mentioned.

[scotswhaehae] 13/2/2006 08:10

Hardly surprising....worth 80p per share on a proper PER!!

Good luck all!

[welsheagle] 12/2/2006 21:10

The Mail on Sunday has apparently tipped MMC today.
Can anyone post the jist of the article?

[scotswhaehae] 03/2/2006 12:34

Schroder adding 1500000 shares...

Good luck all!

[scotswhaehae] 02/2/2006 13:14

Getting underway again...

80p plus target intact!

Good luck all!

[scotswhaehae] 13/1/2006 10:29

Some slight profit taking yesterday but it had been a steep run-up...

I expect further buying...EPS estimates are better both for this year and for the next financial year...and greater 'visibility' will earn a rerating...so 'double whammy' of positives...

80p plus here we come!

Good luck all!

Scotswhaehae,

I agree the trading statement is impressive & the share price should indeed move
uppwards.It's a pity there wasn't any progress today.

I will look forward to the run up to the final results in March which should see an increase in the share price of note "perhaps above 80p level?"

[scotswhaehae] 12/1/2006 10:11

Institutional buying will dictate the market's response to this excellent trading statement...

With forward visibility now very good we can expect share price progress to 80p plus in due course imho...

Great stuff!

LONDON (AFX) - Management Consulting Group PLC said it expects its full year
2005 operating profit before exceptionals to beat market forecasts, and said it
sees "significant progress" in the first half of the current year.
In a pre-close trading statement, the group, which owns Proudfoot Consulting
and Parson Consulting, said its full year 2005 operating profit, before an
exceptional profit of 0.9 mln stg highlighted in the first half results, will be
"not less than the highest published forecast".
Current brokers' forecasts range from 11.0 mln stg to 12.2 mln.
The group added that its full year revenues are expected to be ahead of
market expectations, and to have grown by 8 pct to 129 mln stg from 119 mln in
2004. Brokers currently estimate revenues at 124.4-127.4 mln stg.
Proudfoot's revenues are estimated to have grown by 6 pct to 86 mln stg;
while Parson's revenues are seen up 14 pct to 43 mln.
"Taking account of the group's current order book and prospects, the
directors consider that the Group is well positioned for significant progress in
the first half of 2006 over the comparable period of 2005," it said.
Chief executive Kevin Parry said: "In common with other consultancies we
have seen improving market conditions and there is much greater trading
visibility going into a new year than we have had for the past five years."
