Posted at 18/3/2025 05:24 by tenapen Morning,I think it's wrong to compare share price performance. RCDO are presently working on a five year refocusing plan and so I would expect a depressed share price They sold the defense business and bought wisely!. See what happens. |
Posted at 17/3/2025 19:35 by c3479z1 response doesn't comment or explain whether it's appropriate eg for the non-exec chairman of the audit committee to be employed and ?resident in Madrid or address the differing performance of RCDO v SAG over the years. |
Posted at 16/3/2025 01:48 by w t tutte Anyone who is any doubt about the difference between the two groups just compare the last annual reports for the two groups. One is short, factual and financial focused, the other is long, full of buzzwords and mentions stakeholder far more than it mentions shareholders. It is clear that there is a huge amount of fat to be cut at RCDO. Either the current board must do it or SAG will.For last financial year. Ricardo RCDO NonExec Chairman - 175k (cash) RCDO CEO - 930k (cash)* below target set by company (poor lamb) RCDO CFO - 633K (cash)* below target set by company RCDO Average NED - 68k (cash) Science Group SAG Exec Chairman - 495k (cash) SAG CEO - 412k (cash) SAG CFO - 200k (cash) SAG Average NED - 45k (cash) |
Posted at 16/3/2025 00:33 by w t tutte What a shower the current board at RCDO are, of course SAG shaking things up a bit is "unwelcome" because none of them will survive. It is all rather self serving and pathetic. It is customary in the City that if you get to a 15% shareholding then a board seat is considered appropriate. At 15% they essentially have a blocking position for all special resolutions this includes any CR without preemption or any takeover.If they are relying on Gresham House for support I think they are on a loosing wicket. it is clear they are going to come under enormous pressure to bring about substantial change at RCDO, not least because it represents such a significant part of many of their portfolios and because they are sitting on whacking great losses. Worse still it is in many of their publicly traded investment trusts. I would not be surprised to see SAG or others take small positions in some of these vehicles and then start to put pressure on the trust boards to justify their large holding in RCDO and how they may or may not engage with any proposals put forward by SAG. My guess is SAG takes out RCDO in an all share offer. If they propose it I will vote in favour of that, it is clear to me that SAG are much better custodians of capital. In the UK capital markets, we tolerate mediocrity and incompetence and RCDO is a prime example of this. |
Posted at 15/3/2025 23:33 by fft Do SAG have the backing to either takeover RCDO , get other large investors interested or change the direction of RCDO ? Doesnt look like it to me. It could be that they are just trying to stir up interest and get out with a better profit ! Pump and dump ? |
Posted at 15/3/2025 22:27 by battlebus2 I think the rise came after the response by RCDO that they won’t let the company fall into SAG’s hand without a fight. The market must believe SAG will have to pay more if they want to buy more and if they want a board position. |
Posted at 14/3/2025 08:24 by tenapen As rcdo are already at circa an all time low and some would say way undervalued ! .......Time tells all |
Posted at 14/3/2025 08:09 by saints98 Ivyhedge- were you involved in TP Group? My recollection a bit different. Think they bought their first load of shares at 6p and ended up buying the rest a while later for 2.8p as business continued to go backwards and company got involved in financing issues. Given track record at RCDO of late you have to say there's a chance history repeats |
Posted at 28/2/2025 20:14 by tenapen As with all of my clean air stocks, I bought for the long term 2030+ and so I would rather rcdo keep building out.Everyone has Thier own agenda. Regards |
Posted at 21/10/2024 07:53 by 1968jon My initial thoughts....Strangely garbled might sell, might not language of the RNS - did it need an RNS. I have an irrational fondness for Ricardo and think it is hilariously undervalued, so consider this as extremely biased thinking. RCDO trades on less than 6x forward EV/EBITDA for 2025. It has a ragtag bag of divisions that may/would be valued higher outside RCDO - never mind the multiples that other consultancies get. The ragtag nature in my opinion is a cause of its low rating Military and defence companies, varying by geography are trading publicly or transacting privately at just North of 10x and probably trending higher. So potentially a decent trade for RCDO. Problem is, if you sell part of the P&L at 10+x to reinvest in something that will be marked back down to 5.5x you have a problem. I have absolutely no doubt that if someone took RCDO out they could sell all the pieces at a nice turn. I know that RCDO know this as well. |
