Tempted to do a top-up here given today's announcement. It was already in the price, but we are down again. Lets Connect isn't the core business and could easily be ditched. Profit growth next year, but lower. Hardly a catastrophe.

THIs salary sacrifice company will be severely impacted by the autumn statement. A good deal of its revenue is derived from non-core salary sacrifices which are going by April

Yes, a really significant contract win this one!

I believe this share has just hit an all-time high...........recent share price progress has been steadily rising. It is a very well run company achieving record profits at each reporting date with an unbroken record of dividend increases. It also gives a good dividend yield - and pays out quarterly............perhaps others have also noticed this, hence the recent improvement in the share price. Who knows, maybe someone is accumulating?

Falling, but no news.

Good recent share price performance and decent yield this year.

This must be about the quietest board on ADVFN!

Tend to agree Topvest. One of the few companies in this sector who can do a bad job and still make money.

[topvest] 22/3/2010 21:28

Still a solid business this one though. Good results.

Sector has become very competitive so new client group acquisition is getting tougher. Also, HR/Reward as a function is getting smarter so opportunities for their type of worksite activity are getting fewer. Need to align their strategy closer to what is going on in the market IMHO.

I suppose the write down of value of the IFA side signals lower profits for the forseeable future since the goodwill impairment test would have been done by looking at the discounted value of future cash flows. On the traditional employee benefit side, on the one hand they are having to work hard just to stand still year on year in terms of new accounts and the outlook for numbers employed by those accounts is negative in the next twelve months, while on the other they have a very conservative balance sheet which should see cash released over time and a visable income stream. Overall not very exciting. Nice yield. Sold mine in Jan 08 for £3. Should have bought back at £2 or £2.50 but lacked faith in the market generally rather than PGH specifically. Don't see much reason to buy now.

Results out today. They look reasonable, though the market seems disappointed. Views?

[mctmct] 17/12/2009 13:13

Another good rise today, in a falling market.

We could use a new thread title, though. Those days are long past!

Hold recommendation from Growth Company Investor

[topvest] 28/9/2009 19:04

A bit of a negative reaction to the results today. Maybe spooked by the higher level of claims paid out?

[flc] 28/9/2009 11:34

Cash generative business with strong BS. I'm in this sector so know them well. What I would say is that the market is getting more challenging and their competitors are getting smarter. That said they should still continue to perform and have a strong management team.

[brownie69] 28/9/2009 08:45

Decent results and dividends payments, quarterly as well!
who are the ouse brokers? Any research around on this company?

[makingheaps] 18/6/2009 16:55

Looks like a big buy this afternoon propelling this up. More to come?

[makingheaps] 30/3/2009 16:27

Seems to have held together better than the directors had anticipated hence the statement about the dividend being held and the share buying this afternoon. I am surprised the market didn't mark them up more
