Interesting growth company but one for the longer term - the share price move on the index often works differently on the day (see HMV exiting the FT350 -in freefall for weeks but up today exactly the opposite of this where there has been a small run up)

Had a few today - FTSE250 entry on Friday, not currently in an index - should be at new highs soon as it goes in the FTSE250 imo.

Hi,

Looks like you bought into a spike early doors.

Shouldnt make that much difference going forward hopefully.

So far so good....



The current trading performance and outlook for the Group continue to be strong, reflecting the continued increasing interest across the world in interactive learning technology.

The strong first quarter performance and current positive trading outlook place
Promethean solidly on track to meet management's expectations for the full year.

Its the overseas sales that will have to drive this, the uk schools market is
about 90% saturated (or so Ive heard), and after the election theres not much money going to be going into schools.
They are strong on educational software which could drive sales, but the build quality has issues.
I,m looking, but waiting to see at the moment as I am a bit supprised they managed to get the ipo away before the election!
Keep your eye on how they report overseas sales going and whether they can make
headway on the software side.
Good luck
