(need to insert proactiveinvestors in the link above where the dashes are positioned!

“Commercial sales are broadly in line with the prior year. Based on public indicators we believe we continue to outperform our peers and gain market share,” Marshalls said.

With 11 months of the year gone, the board of Marshalls has gone out on a limb and ventured that it is confident of meeting its full-year expectations.

The underlying indicators have remained positive in Marshalls' main end markets while order intake and revenue growth remains robust and the positive cash generation reported at the half-year has continued, Marshalls said.

I have held MSLH shares for some time now and have done quite well out of them while collecting dividends along the way. I still think they are a long term hold so while the 6% drop on Friday was not nice they should still continue their upward trend over time IMHO.

Sell on the news by the looks of it. Nothing wrong with the update. A good long term hold this one and I think it should do quite well. Like the fact that potential acquisitions will be highly scrutinized. They will hopefully be earnings enhancing when they arrive!

(ShareCast News) - Landscape products group Marshalls said on Friday that it is confident of meeting its expectations for 2016 as it reported a rise in revenue for the 11 months to 30 November.
Revenue grew 3% to £375m, with sales in the domestic end market, which represent around 31% of group sales, up 10% compared with the prior year period.

Marshalls said UK revenue since the half year is up 4% compared with 2015 and was particularly strong in the domestic end market, where sales in the five months to the end of November were 15% higher.

The company said sales to the public sector and commercial end market now represent approximately 64% of its revenue. Commercial sales are broadly in line with the prior year and Marshalls said that based on public indicators, it believes it can continue to outperform its peers and gain market share.

"The board is confident of meeting its 2016 expectations. Alongside this, the underlying indicators have remained positive in Marshalls' main end markets while order intake and revenue growth remains robust and the positive cash generation reported at the half year has continued.

"Management continue to selectively identify and monitor bolt-on acquisitions in line with our 2020 Strategy. These will only be made if they meet our robust appraisal criteria."

gonna fall 40p on these drab results indicating slowdown

[lauders] 25/11/2016 11:09

Good to see we breached 300p again. Will we stay here or go higher now? Dividend due beginning of December too so hopefully some strength from now onwards :-)

[lauders] 18/11/2016 17:17

So close to the 300p level. Next week will hopefully be the time to breach it! Meanwhile the wheels keep turning in the background. Latest media piece dated 18th Nov:

Looking quite good here recently. Will we make it through 300p again soon? Perhaps some positive news is on its way! I hope so of course being a holder of MSLH shares.

SIG looks mainly internal production stuff and more its own market issues to me . Personally I would have thought the weather to date would be good for outside work and so no issues stopping projects using their gear myself.

[larva] 11/11/2016 08:44

SIG profit warning. MSLH next?

'Ello, Lauders.
If it were bad "they"'d be on it like a rash IMO!
Class company; glad I didn't sell (at a loss).

As it is, meet you on the "Bright Side"....

Results and nobody posts. Don't look too bad. No BREXIT effect.
