Thanks for the heads up CR, went for your horse instead of mine.

[connor23] 03/10/2014 11:31

Had to happen :)

[cockneyrebel] 03/10/2014 11:03

Breaking out at last :-)

[cockneyrebel] 02/10/2014 10:46

Moving up after those large trades have gone through - seller cleared?

First time close over 200p :)

[cockneyrebel] 24/9/2014 15:01

Resistance has to crumble soon like an old stone wall that needs rebuilding imo:-)

I'd take a better look at MSLH tiger - they are aiming to restore earnings to pre-recession highs which was nearly 23p - that's quite a rise from the 7p eps last year and would be excellent momentum if they can achieve something approaching that next year imo.

Have a look at the website too - loads more products and better ones imo.

All imo/dyor etc.

Marshalls a lot of their products are sold via Builders Merchants

Travis Perkins & Jewsons etc together with over 1200 branches so a lot of downward pressure on price with Marshalls via the merchants

Marshalls also sell direct to Local authorities again they are tight for money.

I hope you are right with this share with your assumptions,but just bear above in mind I dont think you will make a fortune on it.

I am sure you will now prove me wrong - best of luck !

I spoke to a guy in a NE depot, said they never stop, so busy.

[cockneyrebel] 19/9/2014 17:08

Someone is picking up a load of these @ 197p looking at all the sells being soaked up imo.

Added another 5k earlier, just reading up on past news, this stood out

Chief executive Martyn Coffey said: "Marshalls has experienced strong growth in the first half of the year and forward indicators continue to be positive in all major end markets."

The Huddersfield-based group added that it planned to ramp up production to meet current demand and to eventually return to sales and profit levels it enjoyed before the recession.

Earlier this month official figures confirmed the UK was now growing at an annualised growth rate of 3.2%, passing the country's 2008 pre-recession peak.

Marshalls said its order book stood at an historic high of 11.5 weeks at the end of June, compared to 10.2 weeks a year ago.

It added that its public sector and commercial unit, which represents around 62% of sales, lifted 19% on increasing orders from the rail and housebuilding industry.

Marshalls is a contractor on London's east-to-west Crossrail link, which is the largest construction project in Europe.

A number of City analysts raised their full-year forecasts on the strength of Marshalls' six months results. Panmure Gordon lifted its full-year pre-tax profit estimate by 6.7% to £21 million.

Brokers at Numis added: "In our view Marshalls remains a great way of playing economic recovery with volumes still way below pre-recession levels."

[cockneyrebel] 18/9/2014 20:07

From the interims:

"Marshalls remains focused on product innovation and service delivery initiatives to deliver continued sales growth and further improve trading margins. The medium term objective is for the Group to return to the much higher revenue and profit levels that were achieved by Marshalls before the recession."

Marshalls was doing 22.5p+ eps pre-recession.

Resistance at the 200p level is weakening.

Once through the important 200p psychological level, the share looks likely to motor in my view.

ALL IMO> DYOR.

Nice move today. Interesting buy at the end as u say CR.

[cockneyrebel] 10/9/2014 17:36

Another 46L @ 200p at the close - someone very keen today.

Hopefully Marshalls can indeed further sharpen up their advertising not only of their corporate image but also of their product range.

I think they have good product but really don't max out advertising or display possibilities or corporate image.

Improving but still more work still needed here by Marshalls management to raise awareness. They need to spend more on brand awareness/ selective advertising/corporate image/display stands etc.

Seems that the new Board may be on the case.

Positive about prospects for the share and Company.

[cockneyrebel] 10/9/2014 16:11

Nice break out off that 53k buy this afternoon.

We had an extension and large patio done two years ago. Looked at the stuff Marshalls were offering then and found the website and products boring at best.

We ended up buying Bradstone even tho their products were far more expensive.

Was pretty impressed by the changes in the website and the much wider range of products on their now.

Bought MSHL after the interim results as the forecasts look an easy meet after that and a new board that sounds confident.

All imo/dyor etc.

After a slow start since this share caught my eye last Autumn, it now looks set to climb steeply in my opinion.

The share was off the radar. It is now being picked up by more and more radar stations. Bodes well .

Great results.

ALL IMO. DYOR.
