02/7/2013 08:11 | Agreed, I don't think there is any hiding from the fact that the mining sector is weak and that will have an effect here. I would imagine that is why this is rated so low (with the cash stripped out) and also most likely why the recent deal failed. All that said I see it as worth a punt at these levels. GLA (and me!) | greenroom78 | |
02/7/2013 07:49 | Yep, current state of resource sector, esp, juniors plus PoG etc, plenty of variables in the mix........visibilit | soundbuy | |
02/7/2013 07:44 | Bit of a tricky one isn't it? Fantastic results Lovely balance sheet 18.9c final divi goes ex in a few days 10 July (12.5p) Order book steady "MDM continues into FY2014 with a strong execution order book and its future project pipeline for FY2015 and beyond remains robust." £8m pretax still forecast for current year (say £5.75 post tax) so you pay just £30m for £5.75m post tax profit (PE 5) if you adjust out excess cash On the other hand Lower profits forecast (more lower margin reimbursable contracts?) on similar revenue One wonders how much of the order book is cancellable I expect it's either much too cheap or much too expensive here! | britishb | |
02/7/2013 07:27 | Agreed, good set of results, which surprises me to be honest......will keep an eye here for a day or two before commiting...... | soundbuy | |
02/7/2013 07:10 | I'm back in today. I made my last buy a day trade when the recovery after the recent announcement stalled. Got lucky then as I bought the low of the day. Back in this morning for the same price I sold at, good set of results IMO. | greenroom78 | |
02/7/2013 06:45 | A stonking set of results...these should fly and I expect they will exceed the proposed takeover price in the coming weeks! | mickharkins1 | |

31/5/2013 07:39 | Maybe that was why the Sedgman deal fell through because they were misled by MDM's percentages! Seriously I doubt that anyone was misled yesterday. You can easily see from the numbers quoted that profit ($20.8m) is 2.6 times (260%) the previous year ($7.8m). I would sympathise with your point more if the statement had contained the amount of the increase ($12.5m) which is 160% of the prior year profit; but it didn't if focused solely on the current and prior year numbers and the percentage was the comparison between the two. If you want the increase percentage you can easily deduct 100% from this. It's all very simple. | valhamos | |
31/5/2013 06:37 | valhamos that's ridiculous. Had the revenues and profits been exactly the same as last year you would with your logic have claimed that results were up 100%. The figures given of/by improvements of 155% and 260% will have misled everyone who is as short on numeracy as you apparently are/ I repeat ridiculous....and demeaning | scrutable | |
30/5/2013 19:09 | "I had however to phone the Nomads to get them to correct the glaring error. Revenues were not up by 155%, but by 55%, and profits were not up 260%, good that they were, but 'only' 160%!" Profits are 260% of what they were the previous year. They could have tweaked the wording to keep any pedants happy but as they quoted the current and prior year amounts as well as the percentage I don't see a problem. I can't see that a correction has been issued; and none is necessary. | valhamos | |
30/5/2013 16:35 | Not wild with joy that the bid has failed as am long at 165!! It looks a reasonable company with cash on the balance sheet, I hope the mining sector recovers enough for me to get out even in the next year or so. | exbroker | |
30/5/2013 14:20 | I was disappointed when Sedgman made their offer and MDM agreed to it. I thought that Sedgman had won an incredible bargain. I would love to know the real reason why Sedgman pulled out. Were their finances too stretched by the collapse of the mining economy? In any case after this morning's panic fall the shares have been a great bargain. I bought more. I had however to phone the Nomads to get them to correct the glaring error. Revenues were not up by 155%, but by 55%, and profits were not up 260%, good that they were, but 'only' 160%! Stupid really, careless and since many investors are not numerate - misleading and indeed reprehensible. However we investors should all be glad that the bid was withdrawn | scrutable | |
30/5/2013 09:51 | They are extremely cyclical (although with a 2 year time lag vs commodity prices). With miners continuing to cut back on new projects and if the gold price remains in the doldrums, then they could well be loss making in a couple of years time as per 2011. On balance, I think I'll reinvest my merger profits elsewhere, at least for the time being. | wjccghcc | |
30/5/2013 09:45 | gleach - makes a change to get one right, it was as much through impatience than anything else. If they can continue growing this drop will be easily forgotten and so will the merger. The dip in the mining sector is worth keeping an eye on though IMO. | greenroom78 | |
30/5/2013 09:36 | nicely played greenroom...it must give you a good feeling having sold out on the merger announcement :) my feelings remain a little different having held on (!) but onwards and upwards hopefully....at least the merger uncertainty is now lifted | gleach23 | |
30/5/2013 09:15 | Long here at 135p. I agree it looks like a buying opportunity. | saucepan | |
30/5/2013 08:47 | I would say (Long term) it's good news that it hasn't gone ahead (for PIs anyway). Those getting shares might be disappointed but 181p was a poor cash offer IMO. I'm back in this morning as I now see we have a very cash rich company trading on a low forward P/E that also likes to dish out healthy dividends. Easing myself back in and haven't bought too many in case it drops lower, my buy isn't showing yet for some reason though. | greenroom78 | |
30/5/2013 08:40 | Quite an understatement from George Bennett that it's disappointing that the merger is off. Gut wrenching more like! But apart from that the statement seems ok to me. No profit warning and talking about growth and enhanced returns. Agree with Valhamos. By my calculations 61p of cash on the balance sheet at the year end. Assuming 26% tax rate (as per H1) gives EPS of 39.4c so P/E of 4.9x for full year 2013. Strip out the cash and that falls to 2.6x. A dividend of 50% of net profit (in line with previous policy) would be about 12.9p per share, so yield of 10% and with the prospect of higher ordinary or special dividend on top. Unless things get a lot worse quickly (not what they seem to be saying at the moment) that doesn't look expensive. Mining services companies in Australia are doing badly so I wonder pulling the merger is more to do with Sedgman than MDM. I suppose danger for MDM shares is that with no deal there's a rush to the exit. See what they say in July. DYOR etc. | hop53ton | |
30/5/2013 08:01 | I'm buying back in here. I thought the Sedgeman offer was too cheap and sold out when it went ex-div. Can't see why it would fall much more. The update today suggests last year's eps will be 27p with a good pipeline of orders and lots of cash on the balance which could lead to increased or special dividends. | valhamos | |
15/5/2013 07:40 | I can't believe I held on so long either, it's interesting reasons you give for holding on gleach23, because I had similar thoughts. I believe lessons aren't truly learnt until our actions have lost us some money. So from now on I will sell my holdings very early on any takeover/merger news and move on. Lesson learnt.... I did sell out this morning, and will now look for a better opportunity. ic2... | interceptor2 | |
15/5/2013 07:36 | I'm amazed they are trying to change the terms, the deal was far too cheap in the first place. I sold mine on the day it was announced. | greenroom78 | |
15/5/2013 07:03 | Must say that i can believe some of you chaps held on so long. I sold after the ex-div. One lesson i learned long ago with take-overs is that if something takes a very long time to be announced usually there are problems. Steg, long time no see. Never see you around on the boards much these days particularly 'Zulu'. I do enjoy your posts. | cfro |
