Bought these a few years ago @12p and my broker said take profits @36p i wish i never listened to him.Anyway thats all in the past bas*ard been back in since 118p can see this hitting 180p

Well, a bit of a drop to start off with but this has legs! More profit taking, 2.2m vs 2.8m traded, and still running on gas.
Nice one.

i often do - could yet be a difficult summer

[grantclarke] 22/3/2007 16:10

Support at around 132p.

You may be waiting a long time..

Also, looking at Trades, buys vs sells are equal. Some profit takers but in equal numbers there are those who can see this as a buy, or continue holding.

[its the oxman] 22/3/2007 14:17

took a few profits here today c.142p will buy more if it drops near 125p though as prospects are good

"Goldman Sachs has restated its buy and reckons the shares are worth 195p each. Broker says: 'In our view, Regus will re-rate upwards, as the sustainability of growth in the cash generative workstation operation becomes increasingly apparent.
'While our 2007 EBIT estimate remains largely unchanged, reflecting 37% growth, we are raising our workstation growth estimates for 2008 and beyond (in 2008, from 8.6% to 15.2%)"

IMO tomorrow there will be some come down after todays rise, regaining next week. And as I mentioned before, the next resistance is around 145-160p, and if this is breached, 'mark ayers' question of 200p could be answered positively.
Positively from a long position that is!

[maiseymouse] 22/3/2007 07:17

Gone is the scepticism. Goldman Sachs is the latest to get bullish on this one ....there seems to be some momentum here

[mark ayers] 21/3/2007 17:07

can anyone see 200p at this rate ?

[grantclarke] 20/3/2007 12:54

Its the OXMAN
Hope you're right. It's appears the next resistance level (and eventual support..!) is around the 145-160p mark according to the charts.
These results should help it to at least this.

Beware the spivs are still operating - from FT Alpahville last Friday -

PM: The stock he was going to mention is Regus

PM: that's the serviced office group run by former hotdog seller mark Dixon

PM: Almost went under a little while back - but then made a dramatic recovery

NH: it has figures on Monday

NH: and the word is that they will be accompanied by "something"

PM: Hmmm - sounds interesting

NH: shares up 3.6% at 127.5p

PM: What do you think it could be?

NH: dunno. one theory is a bid

NH: which is not as crazy as it sounds

NH: Regus is pretty cash generative - 7% free cash flow yield - and it is valued around 11/12 times earnings

PM: What something from the US? - private equity perhaps?

PM: Could even call it infrastructure

NH: that's possible

PM: And there's plenty of cash sitting in infrastructure funds looking to be invested

NH: there is but............

NH: a couple of market pro's down here have warned me that this story is being put around by a famous former Regus shareholder

PM: Ah - think i get your drift

[its the oxman] 19/3/2007 12:52

set to go further - reckon 150p in time now

[nurdin] 19/3/2007 12:07

Breaking out!

[nurdin] 19/3/2007 07:25

Beat market expectations by about 7% and a very positive outlook.Could be rerated on these results...happy to be holding and may even add on any retracement

[its the oxman] 17/3/2007 10:25

yep looking forward to a further rise i hope

[nurdin] 16/3/2007 10:23

Results this Monday should excite imo..;o)

[grantclarke] 15/3/2007 12:55

Very funny!

Now, anyone got anything useful to say....?

[grantclarke] 09/3/2007 11:18

Why does User consensus bias towards 'Sell', when Brokers,FT,IC etc.., say it's a 'Buy'??
Is there something the professional world is missing that only the amateurs can see!!! (wouldn't be the first time!)

Personally I think it's a BUY. The charts say it all, and excellent results coming up too allegedly. At least 133.5p available, and hopefully with the good results this will break through, the next resistance being 145-160p.

Would be nice.

[le mass du pap] 12/1/2007 20:41

I would say they are delayed buys. Anything over the nms can be delayed up to an hour before being reported. Check back and the offer has risen from 15:45 onwards. That wouldn't be the case if someone had dumped 1.6m.

[kneath] 12/1/2007 16:44

Wow. some big sells at end of day. Hello.....ooow. Jeez, did I just hear tumbleweed pass by?

[welsheagle] 20/12/2006 19:57

Daily Mail article today:-
'Office rental firm Regus' turnaround plan is finally paying off. The firm announced a maiden dividend of 0.6p, and Mark Dixon is confident about future prospects.
Regus (up 4p at 118.75p) said in a trading update that full year results would be in line with City forecasts, putting it on track to almost double pre-tax profits to £75m after adding more than a third to its office capacity. Sales in the last 11 months were up 47% to £617m.
Dixon reckons demand for flexible working will continue in all of its markets, including the US, Asia and Europe.'

[welsheagle] 20/12/2006 19:31

c/ Cash per share of 4.55p.
d/ Positive cash flow of 7.23p per share.
e/ Three directors buying recently.

[kneath] 20/12/2006 10:41

Hi guys - Just bought in at 119.75p. Looks a promising stock for medium term. can anyone tell me what an AT-trade is?

[paulcaine2003a] 19/12/2006 15:12

just bought in today based on the positive results and a recommendation from broker

[jeffian] 19/12/2006 13:58

CT, you still out there?


Profits and now dividends..........I never doubted it for a moment!

(Yet to prove how 'robust' the model is in an economic downturn, but doesn't look as if that's a problem to worry about for a while)
