Robert Walters Share Discussion Threads

A very positive half-year statement, I cannot believe how far the price has decreased, we are in a better position than last year.

From the statement
"The Group performed well during the first half of the year with growth largely driven by our international businesses which now represent 74% of the Group's net fee income.

"We are committed to expanding in those markets offering the best prospects for growth and our future investment plans reflect this."

Definitely topping up, I am surprised the directors haven't.

Independent:-

Robert Walters faced a stinging shareholder revolt at its annual meeting yesterday, with investors rejecting pay policies at the recruitment group. Of the votes cast, nearly 44 per cent were against the remuneration report. Another 16 per cent were withheld. The revolt came after the remuneration committee decided to award bonuses of more than the set limit of 100 per cent of salary for executive directors, the Independent reports.

Sign good times are coming when the directors start awarding themselves obscene rises. They quickly forget the bad times, good job shareholders don't:)

Michael Page are recommended as a buy with Altrium, their share price has gone up today. They like us have offices in Japan.

My reasons for not selling RWA - currently there are many recruitment companies advertising for staff 'job brokers'.

[nellie1973] 07/3/2011 15:46

upgraded to buy.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 28/1/2011 14:39

Wot happened around 4-5 days ago with that plunge to 300?

(Quite a set of charts in the header of this thread, and some presecient analysis too, not to mention a pertinent observation at the end of the preamble. Clearly an insightful author...)

Broker upgrade today

Beijing Seoul and Dusseldorf. I remember a Times interview from Oct with Robert Walters shortly after a visit to China he was very excited by the prospects, I think they are looking at Shanghai too, massive potential. I bought just before NY because I like recruitment prospects over the coming few years esp those with a presence in the growth economies.
Also like STHR because they too are looking at China, have a foothold in Brazil and Russia and even see some mileage in the UK by way of some strategic changes.

Can anyone help identify the likely pre tax profits to be unveiled next week?

[yewtrees] 11/11/2010 09:32

Michael Page still at their high. Although their shares are 50/50 buys/sells, Robert Walters have more sells.
I am holding RWA long term

[gswredland] 01/11/2010 18:38

Some massive trades going through. Seems like something might be up!

dow jones news today

Michael Page up today

[yewtrees] 31/10/2010 08:13

Recently, Michael Page directors have sold some shares in MP and that has brought their share price down slightly. Robert Walters seems still to be in demand though.
