Shhhh.... :-)

How on earth can this be down today?

[villarich] 01/3/2018 08:00

EPS up 55% giving us current PE of 15.8. Fast growing share on a PE that low means we'll hopefully get a pop in the share price this morning.Nice divi too!!

I get that all shares are down due to the wider sell off, but I don't get why this is down nearly 8%.

Good, solid trading statement. "Comfortably inline" suggests scope for upgrades later in the year. I wouldn't be surprised if this trades down today after yesterday's rise.

Perhaps someone knows something we don't.

Robert Walters Shares back In demand.

By Graeme Evans | Tue, 12th December 2017 - 14:29

In keeping with its preference for trading statements that are both short and sweet, Robert Walters (RWA) needed just 50 words this morning to trigger another surge for shares in one of the City's top performers of 2017.

It's the third time since the summer that the professional recruitment consultancy has surprised on the upside, having forecast today that annual profits will be materially ahead of current market expectations.

The company's shares have rallied by more than 140% since the shock of the Brexit vote in 2016 and are up 75% in the past year. Today's brief update was sufficient to lift the stock by another 10% to 610p.

This is a cyclical stock that is exposed to the unpredictable nature of political events and economic fortunes, but for the moment the City is prepared to bet that there are more gains in the pipeline.

Investec Securities described the Robert Walters valuation as attractive, noting that it trades on 1.1 times enterprise vale/net fee income versus a peer average of 2.4.

This has prompted Investec to upgrade its price target by 70p to 670p and reiterate its 'buy' rating. It is the sixth time in a year that Investec has raised its earnings per share (EPS) target, on this occasion by 8% and 5% respectively for 2018 and 2019.

Excessive profit taking I guess.

Read Panmure's note on Robert Walters (RWA), out this morning, by visiting www.research-tree.com …
“Robert Walters has provided an “in-line”; 1Q16 trading update. No change to PBT forecasts. Within the mix AsiaPac and Europe are strong. UK trends are continuing to soften, reflecting general slowdown in the economy. During 1Q16 headcount increased a fraction: 2,945 Mar-16 vs 2,916 Dec-15. Near term headcount growth is likely to be driven by RPO activity, though with Europe continuing to move ahead expansion on the Continent is probable…̶1;
