Nestor Healthcare Share Discussion Threads

[hectorp] 03/6/2003 21:48

I'm a bit bewildered by todays trades and price, many more sells but the price is rising steadily. I can only assume it will rise more tomorrow unless more sells! ( I dont use level 2 I'm mean, so can't see everything thats going on)

Yup - bit of initial panic perhaps earlier, with a not very clear report in the FT market summary. Good to see beeson & Investec sticking to their "buys", although lowering forecasts because of the call centre roll-out delay hitting profits. Clearly, as you say, the lung diease contract news was nothing new.

[a7009090] 03/6/2003 10:48

Thats more like it - now up to 222/230 after the initial drop.

Those large blocks traded at 210p. Who knows...?

[a7009090] 03/6/2003 10:39

This on the FT.com market write up:

"Nestor Healthcare dropped 8.3 per cent as it told its annual general meeting 2003 profits would be reduced by £2m-£3m as it settled its outstanding issues with the Department of Trade and Industry, including the loss of a government contract to assess lung disease in coal miners. It also saw higher costs from delays to the roll-in of call-handling to its Primary Care branches."

Not clear in the FT report whether the £2-3m profit drop is new, in addition to what is already built in to analysts forecasts from the loss of the DTI lung disease contract.

I don't think it is - the only piece of news in the AGM s'ment that seemed new to me was the delays in call-handling changes which will lead to additional operating costs.

down today by nearly 10 % any ideas who the large sells are from?

[hectorp] 02/6/2003 18:19

back in style today with a 12.5 p rise. Nestor often rallies very fast on small volume and is well worth buying.

One the move today already several buys, 230-40.
Cant see the 'risky side myself. I hold, and i'm long term in this. Sure to benefit from government health policy. The seller that was holding the stock back for 6 months , has also gone ( April). Could see 300p on any contract annoucement this year.

Tipped in Sunday Mail as a specualative buy - described it as a 'risky' share if I remember rightly.

[hectorp] 30/5/2003 16:01

Some Huge trades today at Mid price 320.

[slipperystc] 29/5/2003 13:12

Anyone know when the next update is due from Company

[hectorp] 25/5/2003 00:52

Consolidated around 220-230 levels..

[hectorp] 15/5/2003 11:45

and down again! lost 14p today. Good chance for latecomers to get in cheaply!

[hectorp] 15/5/2003 00:38

Yet again, Nestor is up another 10p today. I expect to see 260p in a week or so.

[hectorp] 14/5/2003 13:58

Nestor now 237-245p..
from investech a very positive chart comment:
.... Has broken through the ceiling of a falling trend channel. This indicates a slower falling rate initially, or the start of a more horizontal development. Has given positive signal from a double bottom formation by a break up through the resistance at 234. Further rise to 295 or more is signaled. RSI is, however, overbought. The stock can still rise further, and we should see a decreasing RSI before this is used as a negative signal. The volume balance is positive and strengthens the stock in the short term. The stock has marginally broken up through the resistance at p 230. An established break predicts a further rise.

Great news, plus yet again today this is on the road to being one of the biggest risers. Another 10% upside in the next few days IMO.

Anticipating the good news that could come in July, the stock has just put on 23p in 2 trading days!
Good chance of 240-260 nedxt week. When this moves, its like castor oil!!

[slipperystc] 23/4/2003 20:43

Wait for update in July if good news £3.00 here we come

[hectorp] 16/4/2003 18:41

Like most people its assumed I mean SE England property. I mean Scottish property and some overseas property Funds and businesses. Gold - for the long term ( ie 10 yrs in my case). Anyhow, I see we are down 7 p over two days.. I hope thats the end of it!

No big deal - just curious - but why property & gold stocks? I'm bearish about property in general (house prices & commercial property) so I'm just curious what attracts you to property.

That said, if its a sector you know well I'm sure there must be some interesting stocks out there..

[hv] 14/4/2003 20:36

Worth buying. Very cheap at these levels.
