Haven't looked at this for a while & hope someone can help me with a couple of queries.
Firstly, why EPS is forecast to decline 7% in 2020?
31-Dec-19 89.00 6.67 36.17p 10.1
31-Dec-20 95.27 6.65 33.67p 10.9
Concensus above shows Rev's increasing to 95.27 PBT slight dip but EPS 7% down & PE increasing to 10.9x
My other concern is the Rev's coming from China which fell 25% (£1.7m)last year but are still material.
Any thoughts would be welcome.

I thought like that too Fuji, but then as it seemed that the market is looking past covid19, I bought back in. Cheaper than I sold at in the main. We shall see

I am not comparing but flagging up a worldwide China effect (Apple is another one today too).
IMO the coronavirus will have a negative effect on many companies. Oilers, miners and industrials will be the first to suffer. Then China being the trigger, the longest bull market will come to an end and start correcting. So I cannot see any company as excellent as it can be, escaping the correction. For the long term, it will be OK, but for the short/medium term, I prefer to stay in cash and just keep the minimum exposed to the market.

Comparing TGP to MPAC is almost as pointless as comparing SOM to MPAC

[fuji99] 18/2/2020 09:02

Cheers 3fiona - Region/China market share doesn't look important as it is the lowest - just about 11%: "Sales by region were, Americas GBP26.9m (2017: GBP23.2m), EMEA GBP24.7m (2017: GBP20.4m) and Asia GBP6.7m (2017: GBP9.8m)".

Check last year's final result and you will find the answer there.

[fuji99] 18/2/2020 08:30

Following Tekmar (TGP)results flagging up China's negative effects, I will not top up until the results. Does anybody believe MPAC would be affected by China standstill economy ? What's MPAC market share in China and neighboring countries ? I think this is very important when one takes a look at TGP results.

RCH at 170p

[onjohn] 17/2/2020 08:18

yes its a P_A_R_R_T_A_Y for those in the know

[john09] 15/2/2020 05:25

Is this on a Current PE of 8 when you stop out the cash? For a company upgrading profits 5 times in a year it should be on a PE of 25

I love the red ticker who follows me on every board, can anyone tell me who it is I’ll enjoy stalking them and getting my own back I’m quite adept at it they’ll regret it 😋👌

[john09] 14/2/2020 16:00

RCH breaking up again! MPAC will follow no doubt

[john09] 14/2/2020 11:29

Be nice if there’s a fresh closing high today, would set up a stocking fresh week from Monday

When I buy a share I have to identify a 'Latch' such that my wife can latch on to what a company does since MPAC means nothing. Well the latch here is this is the company that designed the equipment that makes the PG Tips triangle teabags.

Love good machines

[arregius] 14/2/2020 10:47

My scuttlebut around it shows quite decent possitive feelings around all the expos they are now showing their machines

[onjohn] 14/2/2020 10:34

The futures so bright I gotta wear shades

[castleford tiger] 13/2/2020 18:14

ha ha ...........no it means it might be a load of tosh and NOT to buy or sell shares on it.

As you know once an insider you cannot pass the information or trade with it.

There is a big difference to hearsay in the pub!

Great scuttlebut. Unofficialy still means insider?
