Ugly numbers at MTO. Cannot believe MER won't be affected in some way by the industry trend. I have a small short in place just in case at MER but it's illiquid so stop loss in place.

Is there a read across here from the MTO profit warning this week? MTO had a fairly upbeat message in their previous update yet now declare a bad set of economic issues blamed on Brexit but really down to the living wage regs coming in and govt cuts generally. Is MER exempt from all of that? I wonder if MER's last update was a little rosy in outlook and could prove too optimistic?

A very quiet board me thinks.

I've had a few of these this morning. Strong balance sheet and cash flow, decent profit margin for this kind of business and good dividend yield. It's historic per is much higher than the current level too.

Added to this it's at support so i figure good time to buy.Be nice to see it break the down trend resistance though.

Why the breakout yesterday and strong rally today? No RNS or rerating.

It's peoples' perception and uncertainty.

I think some other outcome has caused the real blip......

Also it's outsourcing - they are going to have to outsource community care as they can't run it all out of the NHS budget - this MER work won't be regarded as NHS spend imo.

Chart trending up again here imo - trading update mid May.

Labour aren't going to be running anything hawley - imo.

Telegraph seems to agree with the sentiment:

[hawaly] 15/4/2015 13:48

Labour plans to cap outsourcers at a 5% margin is hurting this.

[cockneyrebel] 08/4/2015 14:27

Next leg up here?

Quite exciting rallies here when they start imo.

Snippet from "Shares" today;

Snoozebox units readied

Snoozebox’s (ZZZ:AIM) deal to provide accommodation for Ealing Council social housing tenants could be up-and-running by October this year, according to contract partner Mears (MER).
Along with the social housing and care outsourcer, Snoozebox signed a deal with the council in March to help alleviate a social housing shortage in west London.
Commenting on the deal after his company’s full-year results update today, Mears chief executive David Miles says the deal structure means Snoozebox will earn profits up-front, while Mears is to receive service revenues over the course of the let.
