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!

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.

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?

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

Companies go Ex-divi on Wednesdays.

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 10:59

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 13:35

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

[dennis russell] 05/10/2007 16:30

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

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

[dennis russell] 30/7/2007 17:25

Didn't one of the directors buy a million pounds' worth a few months ago?

[phbatbjco] 25/7/2007 18:48

Look at the holdings of the founders - I think that they own over 50% and they are nearing retirement. If I were them I'd be looking for a way out and that might maake it attractive for a sell off

[superstardj] 25/7/2007 17:09

I agree that the statement was much better than might have been hoped for as were the margins. Someone told me that about 15% of the shares had been shorted ahead of the results and what we saw today was a massive bear squeeze. That being the case, we might see them drift back in the coming days. I still think this is a good one for the long-term but I always hate paying up! Good luck to one and all.

If I had had a distibutor who endangered my business by improper activity I would have expected to fire him and get a different one. Or start talking to his customers myself.

Great call phbath

[phbatbjco] 25/7/2007 10:23

Obviously everyone else is now of that opiniln!Blimey up over £1 now

[phbatbjco] 25/7/2007 07:08

quite an optimistic statement by the chairman I thought shares up 5p at opening

[phbatbjco] 18/7/2007 08:49

Just bought the stock at 605 so am happy with holding the shares rather than a bet or option. I think they've been oversold and are unloved. It's a very precision based company. The management who own quite a bit of the stock are old and may soon want out and it could be a nice little add on for a foreign acquirer or dare I say "private equity"!
