Renishaw Share Discussion Threads

[mr. t] 28/10/2008 16:27

Hello,

Have you any idea how Renishaw's business may cope with the current downturn?

Renishaw looks a fantastic company to me at a great price. It is a little different to many other of todays beaten up companies because of a combination of:

a) it is market leading, with excellent profit margins
b) it is trading well, and the recent exchange rate trend helps more
c) it has plenty of net cash
d) it has an excellent track record

It seems like the company struggled a lot in the early 2000s, do any of you know why and if things will be different this time?

Thanks in advance for your help.

crazy the way this one has trade down 15% in the last couple of days - the upbeat trading statement was only 2 weeks ago and since then the tumbling £ is surely manna from heaven for RSW!

Cheers Pug...wish I'd done the same on a few others:-(

I still think that RSW is a great company and definitelty worth reinvestment once the financial dust settles down.

as ever DYOR and I hope DR sold as well?

sleveen:> Well done on taking the profit. Now down by 250p. sorry for all holders - Looking at the graph could still ahve some way to fall. (imo & dyor)

It's got a lot of cash.
Good order book.
The increase in the dollar will help greatly!

Wow fantastic results and a strong orderbook. This company seems recession proof. There is no justification for the drop in the share price, it's just the influence of the wider economy.

Stake building perhaps or recognition of decent results.

I only sold at 800p for a small profit, but looking on the bright side its better than the loss I was sitting on when the share price was 600p July 2007....a profit's a profit after all.

DR I'd think about taking a tidy profit.. BWTFDIK

Edit:No advice intended DYOR

RSW has quietly bucked the trend to grow in value by 20% over the last few weeks. OK, it's a cracking company - but a lot of cracking companies, (look at CEL) are not seeing any increase. What's going on?

hi

Last year's basic results were distorted by £19.4m pension credit. Look at the adjusted figures.

[sharriss] 23/7/2008 08:59

Hello, these results looked great to me but I don't understand the News item entitled "BRIEF-Renishaw says year pretax profit down 17 pct".

I thought profits were up!.

Last couple of days haven't been great here. share price is sitting on a supporting line right now - hoping for a bounce back, will probably sell if it drops through this level.

hmmmm very nice announcement today!

[liarspoker] 30/4/2008 18:10

Greyseal - the Record date falls on Fridays but because it takes time to process trades companies make Wednesday their ex-divi date so that all shareholders who hold on Wednesday AM will be registered for the divi come Friday.

[dennis russell] 30/4/2008 18:06

after gently rising since the start of the year, today's 40p jump seems quite unusual, especially as the volumes were nothing special - 40k each way. Anyone know what is going on?

[greyseal] 05/3/2008 10:20

Why would the AR say ast at 7th March then?

[liarspoker] 05/3/2008 08:34

Companies go Ex-divi on Wednesdays.

[greyseal] 05/3/2008 08:32

Is RSW Ex div today? I thought that it was on Monday (as per Annual Report).

[dennis russell] 18/1/2008 17:25

Interims due next week, I think. Should be quite good!

[phbatbjco] 18/1/2008 16:34

A pleasant rise today - what's afoot

[phbatbjco] 18/10/2007 11:59

i think this is a really good share with quite a bit of upside and also has the potential to be a bid target

[dennis russell] 12/10/2007 14:35

encouraging 1st. quarter report - now over that £7.00 line! dividend cash due next week

[dennis russell] 05/10/2007 17:30

I've got RSW marked as 'good value below £7.00'. Nearly there again!

[phbatbjco] 31/7/2007 08:17

dr - DJ Deer bought 140k shares in Jan 07 @£5.07 but i dont think he's one of the founders -wrong he is one of them!!! So that's interesting!

Purchased after announcement of poor results so may have been a confidence booster
