Forming a nice consolidation since January with a breakout target at 209p, results to be announced 7th June which might be the catalyst needed to breakout here.

Decent move up to end the week :-)

One month chart looks good. Steady away. Let's hope it continues

Think with the market just being quite a inhospitable place at the mo, the 'slightly ahead' part was probably not given the reception it deserved. Just hoping it is when the final results come out and we can see just how 'ahead' it was.

About time this bounced back over 200p. Loads of buys and hardly moves up; but loads of small sells and it tanks back down again. Need some good news to get it to breakthrough 200p and hold it this time. Good potential imo. Rich

I'd say Gold is more likely to go up than down given the current environment. High volatility, global political tensions and nearing the top of a credit cycle. I certainly can't see it tanking

if gold comes off this will tank

H1 16/17 Revenue £18.4m, PBT £3.2m, EPS £0.081 (after adjusting for number of shares at year end
H2 16/17 Revenue £12.7m, PBT £0.8m, EPS £0.020
H1 17/18 Revenue £21.8m, PBT £0.8m, EPS £0.134

Then based on the forecast consensus shown on Stockopedia, the minimum numbers for H2 17/18 are
H2 17/18 Revenue £16.7m, PBT £?.?m, EPS £0.028

Given the 31%+ increase in revenue, if there is any operating leverage in the business, I would expect more than a 40% increase in H2 EPS.

Thoughts welcome especially as I do not have access to detailed broker forecasts.

Agree with you all it's a LTH for me too. My outburst is a frustration at the market recently. A few of my growth shares are behaving irrationally at the moment and it's getting to me haha. Back to the patient game! GLA

Always nice to be "ahead" & good to see they've maintained trading momentum as we head towards the important summer holiday period.

With a large/growing cash pile & chunky dividend, this remains a key LTBH for me.

[muzmanoz] 10/4/2018 09:16

Anyone know what the expected eps was? Last I had it was 16.2p

[gswredland] 10/4/2018 09:12

Patience guys
Should be higher after June results but as mentioned market is irrational now

[bookbroker] 10/4/2018 09:01

Villa - the past in now the present, we’ll see what the outlook statement states at results!

[lammylover] 10/4/2018 08:48

Market makers trying to drive price down. Cant get a price to buy even a couple of thousand shares. Someone has buy orders in around 182p+ today in my view. A share to buy and hold for 15% upside at FY results on 7th June. Rich

Very true! Last year we'd be seeing a double figure rise on even the slightest upgrades.

[bookbroker] 10/4/2018 07:49

It remarks slightly, that is almost in-line the way this market sees things these days, but not a warning, a small rise maybe, but we are dealing with a market that interprets news on an ad-hoc basis, so 185p close!

[villarich] 10/4/2018 07:06

Looks like you got your wish. And a good update too

[saj3] 10/4/2018 07:06

Nice update look forward to results

[muzmanoz] 05/4/2018 10:52

Hopefully we will get a trading update soon for the year ending 31 March. I see that last year it was on 11 April.

would have thought GP moving up sharply would benefit likes of RFX?
