Rumors of another big 10 year contract win.....

[spacecake] 07/10/2011 12:48

From the Daily mail this morning...

Mears eased 2.5p more to 248.25p.

Within the UK social care industry, the broker (Collins Stewart)expects a structural shift from expensive residential locations to cheaper domiciliary care and supported living – a trend that will drive faster growth and benefit Mears, which should see an acceleration in organic sales growth in its care division in the second half of this year and 2012.

very strange, especially as everything else i have is looking alright

[spacecake] 05/10/2011 09:47

SP dives... no news... mystery ??? ... what strange time we live in.

[spacecake] 12/9/2011 11:32

Thanks Steve.

Have a look at the past RNS releases. You will see that Mears is involved in a joint venture fitting solar panels with at least one housing association.

Cheers,
Steve.

Hi, I'm new to this company as an investor and was wondering if Mears would benefit from the green deal proposals currently under discussion.





Big chunk of money available for accredited advice and installers which Mears could hop on to.

This is holding up well considering councils are begining to revue service providers, the severe council cutbacks now mean some are starting to look at smaller cheaper contractors who can provide a similar level of service at a 20% premium. I don't hold this stock but I am looking to short if the momoent is right.

Bob Holt is 56. You could not blame him if he wanted to spend some of it.

[phillis] 17/8/2011 17:35

so perhaps we should take a leaf out of Bob Holt's book and top slice

[phillis] 17/8/2011 14:30

not sure that a £650k increase in operating profit on turnover growth of £40 million can be construed as "great"

[sjewson] 16/8/2011 07:24

Great results, I believe the order book and constant stream of positive news has been overlooked so far by the markets and Mears has been sliced down with the rest of the sector.

Still moving up nicely, take out 280 and 300 could be here quickly imo

[chrisb1103] 12/6/2011 12:51

Yeah all very positive here, i reckon MER's quality and defensive characteristics are looking appealing in today's choppy markets. Going XD last week hasn't dented the continuation of the rise here either. Slow and steady as it goes i reckon so am looking for 300 this autumn and 340 early 2012/next spring if the current established chart pattern plays out. Maybe get an extra push on if we get some further good contract news too - and there's a big market out there to play for for MER.

[sjewson] 08/6/2011 10:44

another bullish AGM statement today, very positive news, lots to go I believe

Mears are not in the residential care business, but it's been a week of very bad p.r. in that sector and the knock-on effect could be enough to have reversed the spike in Mears' share price.

[edale] 03/6/2011 20:22

Well whatever triggered the rise didn't happen. Back down again. Where to next ?

[ben gunn] 31/5/2011 19:10

I agree its odd.
If I knew what triggered it I would not have closed 2 long positions last week!

[edale] 31/5/2011 19:02

Anybody understand why the big jump ? I have held for some time and don't understand why we get such violent fluctuations on what seems to be a stable well managed company. It has always looked a good long term investment.

[chrisb1103] 31/5/2011 14:31

Motoring the next leg up a bit today :) "well worth buying"... well looks like they are i reckon.

[marknicho] 20/5/2011 09:38

Today's IC has a tip update - "well worth buying"

[mdrans1] 19/5/2011 13:06

In today's Shares mag as a buy, "should slowly bounce back"

[chrisb1103] 17/5/2011 19:30

Good bit of press today:



"...now trades on a forward earnings multiple of 7.2 on the estimates for 2012, a discount to both its support services and its contracting peers. Based on this lowly valuation and in light of the recent strong momentum, we think that Mears is worth a punt, particularly as it is likely to benefit from further distress among weaker rivals."
