Greek default is priced into the market here imo - if you had bought these on the dip last Aug you made 50% in a few months - trouble is you can never get much volume when that bounce has started.

Looking very cheap with loads of cash, probably over 35p eps and a good order book. In this market though you just can't tell if it will get cheaper and what effect a Greek default will have on future prospects.

Weak this morning on no trades, I guess we should expect a late trade to show at some point?

[greenroom78] 18/5/2012 12:50

I'd say the director loads up regularly for a reason and I expect that is a rising divi as I don't see MSI being taken out. They do have a good history of a progressive dividend (except for the global crash)

[cockneyrebel] 18/5/2012 12:44

Any thoughts on the divi here?

If the full year is raised the same percentage as the interim then 10p for the year might be on the cards - a final divi of over 8p?

There are sheep who follow him religiously but in market conditions like this the good go down with the bad. Personally will be looking to add come June in the run up to results.

[greenroom78] 17/5/2012 13:16

Not sure if this is a reaction to the Naked trader selling?

Getting tempted to add.

[gswredland] 15/5/2012 12:40

a belated thanks for date Mikey!

[greenroom78] 15/5/2012 11:03

CR - Agreed. Volume has been tiny on this drop back.

[cockneyrebel] 15/5/2012 10:58

look at the past rallies tho Greenroom, imo. Very illiquid - quite common for these to rise 20% or more in a week. I doubt trying to buy after a trading update/results will allow people to buy more than 500 to 1000 without a tick up.

4 weeks to go or so to results.

[greenroom78] 15/5/2012 09:49

So it didn't break the way we hoped it would, but guess the wider world not helping sentiment. Results in 2-3 weeks will hopefully reverse things for us.

[rivaldo] 02/5/2012 14:51

Well, last year saw the divi hiked to 6.5p from 4.5p, so perhaps this year we can hope for anything from 8.5p upwards to potentially even 9.5p or 10p depending on working capital needs etc.

[greenroom78] 02/5/2012 13:00

I'm wondering if we will see another dividend hike this year. We got a boost to the interim divi 6 months ago and with the regular director buying (after each statement) you would expect that they would be keen to see a return on their regular investments.

[rivaldo] 02/5/2012 09:13

Excellent spot Mr T re post 1481. It does say "MSI's remotely operated 30mm guns", so I think you're right about this being another order.

Given the director buying at 294.5p less than 2 months ago - basically the same share price as today - I'm pretty confident that the forthcoming news flow will be pretty decent.

[cockneyrebel] 02/5/2012 07:32

:-)

Year end was on Friday so always the possibility of a trading update before then perhaps.

[mikepompeyfan] 02/5/2012 07:26

The first you will know about the results is when they appear at 9am some time around 8th June. Everything about msi is top secret and only available on a need-to-know basis. If they told you they would have to kill you afterwards ;-)

[gswredland] 02/5/2012 06:52

Do we know the date of results guys?

[mr. t] 01/5/2012 23:17

Has MSI sold another 12 guns? 2x30mm per ship on a six ship order to the Malaysian government?



There's a nice trend of positive news coming out of MSI recently.

[onlyonestorm] 01/5/2012 20:09

Still say £3.50!!

Stormy

[cockneyrebel] 01/5/2012 17:17

Agree :-)

A nice breakout as the results approach imo.

Now I'm no chartist but I'd say it looks primed and ready to pop.

[rivaldo] 01/5/2012 12:30

Today's Times reports that the Convoy Escort Programme. which is raising money to provide armed patrol boats to protect against Somali and other pirates, is now likely to go ahead after a $30m fundraising, with another $40m to come for a further 11 vessels.

I'd have thought these boats would be ideal for MSI's lightweight Seahawk gun systems.

[rivaldo] 17/4/2012 11:33

A £6k buy has woken the share price up. Let the bells ring out :o))

[rivaldo] 03/4/2012 10:51

I assume the 5k at 295p today was a Buy leading to the price rise.
