12/9/2012 15:50 | Thanks Edwardt - I missed the blip but like you will consider buying on weakness. | cutlosses | |
11/9/2012 15:54 | Well that little blip didn,t last long, could be blue by the days end ! | wanttowin | |
11/9/2012 13:59 | don't think you are. they are half way through their plan to increase margins and have done very well thus far in meeting the plan pitched to the city. i think with all these things, you can not keep delivering forever. i personally want some exposure to nanotechnology and this is a good company. i suspect, if there is some scope for them to come in above consensus prior to year end in november? and we could be off to the races again. as such, if the shares go a bit lower, i will top up. | edwardt | |
11/9/2012 12:08 | I have been monitoring this share and wonder if this is a buying opportunity? The RNS seems mainly postitve, what was the market expecting? I note the previous comment and understand the market will punish anything less than 100% good news but the drop seems overdone unless I am missing something. | cutlosses | |
11/9/2012 11:33 | market is reading a lot into this "Order intake from our research markets remains good although as expected there has been some softness in our industrial markets" I sold on the basis that valuation assumes high EPS growth. This is effectively a potential warning on earnings from industrial sector. | dasv | |
11/9/2012 10:16 | Sell on the news I think... As for me.. I'm holding on the news | ib1905 | |
11/9/2012 08:32 | basically no upgrades - so suspect the fall reflects that... | edwardt | |
11/9/2012 07:23 | 11 September 2012 Release time & date: 7:00am 11/09/2012 Oxford Instruments plc Chairman's AGM Statement 2012 Oxford Instruments plc, a leading provider of high technology tools and systems for industry and research, is holding its annual general meeting today in which the Chairman, Nigel Keen will make the following statement: "In June 2011 we outlined our 14 cubed objective to achieve a compound annual revenue growth rate of 14% and a return on sales of 14% by the financial year ending March 2014. It is anticipated that this objective will be achieved predominantly through organic growth and continuing internal efficiency improvements, augmented by targeted bolt on acquisitions. The year to March 2012 was the first year of the 14 Cubed plan and we reported sales growth of 29% split equally between organic growth and the three bolt-on acquisitions we made to strengthen our competitive position. Return on sales also improved in line with our targets, increasing from 10.7% to 12.5% In the current year our Nanotechnology Tools business has made good progress as Oxford Instruments' customers use our equipment to work at the frontiers of science and improve the efficiency of high technology production facilities. The launch of our new XMax large area detector in August has further consolidated our position as a leading provider of advanced material analysis equipment. Over the same period our Industrial division has also continued to trade in line with expectations. Our customers use Oxford Instruments' equipment to implement high-tech manufacturing strategies for advanced materials and products. Sales have been helped by the launch of the new X-MET 7500 hand held material analyser which is helping to grow our market share. The Service division has performed well providing aftermarket service to the installed base of Oxford Instruments equipment. The Platinum Medical Imaging business acquired in November last year has integrated well and further strengthened our offering in this area. Order intake from our research markets remains good although as expected there has been some softness in our industrial markets. Despite the ongoing uncertainties in global economies, we believe the diversity of our activities combined with our strong pipe-line of new products will continue to provide good growth opportunities for the Group. The Board anticipates that Oxford Instruments will continue to make progress in line with our expectations for the financial year." - Ends - | bluebelle | |
