More share buybacks, they don't appear in the trades screenso I can only think they have a willing seller and not buying in the open markets.
Anyone know any different?

I've been quite surprised by the stability in the price over recent weeks, particularly when other similar companies have fallen significantly. Given the (now) relatively high valuation and less attractive yield, I've sold my holding today, as I think there are going to be some very attractive crisis plays coming up soon.

Cheers,
Steve.

Parkwood cancelled 375,000 shares yesterday which will help the eps in future.

By any standards, this is a really quiet thread!

Are there no serious holders?

I hold a modest number of shares, as I am convinced about the longer term prospects for the company.

However, in this current melt-down climate, I find it really puzzling that PKW share price frequently seems to be trying very hard to push upwards against a background of falling price trends elsewhere.

It seems determined to break through the 123p-ish ceiling.

Yet, I can see nothing special in the released news.

Does anyone else have any info to share.

I wondered about that point myself POYNTONA. If they could, why have they not done so already?

Hopefully higher turnover will lead to a lot bigger profits.

Does anyone know if Parkwood can just wind up the patient transport business once the existing contracts finish?

If they could get rid of this then the share price would go up 50%.

I definitely get the feeling that taking the Co off the market is on the agenda. Hence perhaps the almost deliberately vague comments throughout the results.

I think you've summed it up well aj - this is one of the most frustrating shares I've invested in, so much potential yet so little realised.

Sold most of mine today - better prospects elsewhere.

Not sure what to make of these results at all. And prospects look uninspiring. A case of sit tight or what. Time needed to ponder that one. Then again, maybe not.

Are they considering going private? Future strategy? Details other than what looks like a full order book for 2008 are thin on the ground. Why, I wonder?

penpoint, I am not sure what they mean. Is margin getting worse? Or are they looking to change strategy, e.g. to make the business atrractive for a sale. Perhaps they are really worried about the economic outlook and want to wait until it improves before taking on any more debt.

Also, I note that the comments in the January trading statement that 2008 will not be so bad for Healthcare were not repeated in today's results.

Can anyone work out what exactly Parkwood are trying to say in the outlook statement?

Couldn't agree more with both comments. Would like to see them enter the golf market in my homeland, Scotland now we moved up here now. Falkirk may not however, be the best place to start that, more like Ayrshire down near Troon or further up north, possibly even as north as Aberdeen. Join up with Mr Trump up there.

Once the lossmaking healthcare contract is gone, this will look better! 2009 and 2010 will benefit. Agree it looks a good long term investment.

Some exposure to retail customer in the health and fitness segment, though mostly I believe they just operate facilities, so effects should be limited and over the shorter term.

Otherwise, lots of positives, with growth in t/o and Glendale nicely positioned.

Wakey wakey. Trading ahead, turnover up 14%, order book up 32%. Good earnings visibility surely make this a good long term investment.

I suggest it was shares previously purchased in the market and held in treasury have now been cancelled. Suggests to me they may have been considering for use in a purchase or even an incentive. Who knows

I gather todays announcement regarding cancelling treasury shares is the same as a share buy back. Is that correct?

looks like it may break 120 on this move - lets see what happens

New deal looks o.k. if profits are as they have said and it is a growing business.

Is landscaping they way to go though?

When I first bought this share they had a landscape division that was loss making and was being sold. This gave a big boost to profits. I just hope this isn't the same.

The autumn Park wood News has just arrived. There doesn't look to be a lot happening at the moment. i.e new contracts.

results are disappointing if the share price was 150p!

in line for the year is a fair enough result, and now we know pts is to be sold it is worth holding on - probably a good time to buy given its well below the 150p highs - bit more director buying might help as well

The results are generally disappointing even considering the patient transport losses.

The only good news is that if they can get rid of that dept. it will give a big boost to profits.

RE THE BELOW - THIS WILL HELP A LOT ONCE PTS IS SOLD

With losses continuing in the Patient Transport Services (PTS) business of
Parkwood Healthcare as a result of ongoing difficulties with a contract with
North Staffordshire University Hospital Trust, a review of the business took
place after the managing director left at the end of February and negotiations
are underway to sell this part of the Parkwood Healthcare business.

The Nursing Agency section of Parkwood Healthcare is performing well in London
and the Bishop's Stortford office has moved to new premises. Market research
has indicated that new opportunities exist in the healthcare market and the
opening up of general medical service provision to social enterprises, charities
and the private sector may present opportunities for Parkwood Healthcare for the
future. Overall the business made a loss of #0.39 million (2006: loss #0.12
million) on revenue of #3.09 million (2006: #2.79 million) in the period.
