Well, we already know that nursery trading is not great seangwhite.

This share is all about China and other foreign schools.

The share trades today are extremely interesting and unusual and I believe are probably insider trading. I think we can expect a bid within days.

This is JUST MY OPINION. I have no insider info myself!

PEERS is hearing that trading in the Nurseries is not doing well, watch this space.

[mryesyes] 13/10/2006 14:26

Keep buying. No offer. The board stated when the price was at this level that it was so high it was confident no bit would succeed yet it is lower that when under a year ago its female finance director bought at 238
Expect an overwhelming bid to clear out this very poor board

Strange announcement. Are they trying to drive the price down? How much of the company do they own?

[nurdin] 05/10/2006 12:10

Yes a pity.Suspect the bid is more likely to be in the 155p range..but we shall see

[typo56] 05/10/2006 12:09

Principle Capital Partners Ltd has said it is considering a bid for Nord Anglia Education PLC, but warned it is unlikely to make an offer at the current share price.

[nurdin] 05/10/2006 10:35

19.5k buy..probably what excited the share price :o)

edit: Deleted now :o(

I like the quiet boards, the shares do not appear to be so volatile!

[nurdin] 05/10/2006 09:09

Now trading on 8-9x current years earnings.The Chinese venture appears to be paying off and will more than compansate for the weakness in Nursery School market in the UK imo.Nothing to stop them replicating the UK model in the Far East....notwithstanding some cultural differences there

[nurdin] 04/10/2006 13:20

Looks like NAE are breaking out..this board is amazingly quiet ;o)

I'm glad that Simon Cashmore has gone. He was an idiot who had no knowledge of the Nursery business. The Nursery business has just marked time for a year which is a shame. Also a shame that no Building Schools for the Future contracts have been won.

I have taken my profits in this share.

Good call by bmw30csl in 2004 his 100-120p povd spot on. Waiting for PEERS to update us on the new management team though.

[u813061] 16/8/2006 15:03

Trading update early September. Starting to rise again.

[seangwhite] 14/8/2006 14:57

We are all awaiting for Peers to update us on his view as to how the new management are performing.

[u813061] 01/8/2006 13:20

Margins on overseas schools are much higher than UK schools as there is far less competition abroad. Demand in the UK is flat whereas in places like China it is booming. The shift to China etc improves the return on capital employed.

One buyer is better than no buyers !!!

[queeny2] 31/7/2006 13:37

I can't quite understand why I should buy shares in a company that has:

a) abandoned / de-emphasised its two core businesses to become a China story

b) a share price supported by one buyer alone.

??

Why don't NAE go for this peach before it goes off,or has it been on the books for too long and is now overipe!

This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the UK's best and most delightful Sixth Form Colleges.

Set in the centre of one of England's most attractive and best-preserved market towns the college is ideally situated for educational and social forays North, South, East and West. London is reached within a little over an hour by regular fast train services.

Students come from the UK and a broad spread of foreign countries including Europe, the Far East and the former Eastern bloc. Unlike most such colleges, this one is vibrant and flourishing with holiday courses throughout July and August.

The current owners, who wish to retire when the right buyer and the right price have been found, would be happy to work with the incoming directors for a period if required.

It is expected that the great majority of the staff - administrative, marketing and teaching - would be delighted to remain working together. The current proprietors will be happy to work with the new owner to appoint a new Head of Studies.

Hope they start to buy private schools in the UK again as I feel they made a bad decision in selling off the prime UK school assets,as I recall this unfortunately timed move was when Kevin was in charge.

[bookbroker] 06/7/2006 08:23

As always, folks get carried away, this stock needs to pause for breath.

[u813061] 05/7/2006 14:48

New 12 month high. Institutions still buying.

[cockneyrebel] 05/7/2006 10:10

Good director buying in the last few days and about to make a major breakout on the chart.

The directors here certainly timed their sells well - worth following in view of the chart I suspect
