Quiet here, innit?!

Well today's news seems to have been well received by the market. I like the use of the word "significant" in the sentence "The Acquisition is expected to be significantly earnings enhancing for the Group in the next financial year ending 31 March 2015."

It's been a great long term buy-and-hold for me and I expect that to continue.

Gone long on RPC. Very cheap and plenty of packing need in this hot weather. Last results were good. Update 1st of August.

Gap on chart needs filling.

Questor says buy.

jeffian - interesting thoughts - even so, a bit of selling at the first sign of hesitation has caused a bigger drop than I'd have thought.

So, if all else is sound, a great buying-in level I'm thinking - I'll give it thought and look at the fundamentals over the weekend.

"I'm surprised at the extent of the fall - more usually assoicated with a significant dividend cut."

I've held for some time and increased my holding a number of times over the past few years. I'm NOT surprised by today's fall. Look at the graph in the header above. Even better, look at the 5-year chart. This share has been a 4-bagger since late 2009 and was riding at all-time highs. I think it was inevitable that some of those profits would be banked at the first sign of a slowdown (particularly with 5 April looming). I'd have been worried if it was on a very high PER, but at this price it is still fairly lowly-rated with a reasonable divi yield, so I'll just be riding it out as I think the long-term prospects remain good, but I can see why others may sell.

Woodcutter - master of the understatement!

I don't know this company, although have been tracking its share price over the last couple of months as a seemingly successful and progressive FTSE250 company.

I'm surprised at the extent of the fall - more usually assoicated with a significant dividend cut. I can't see that happening, given the maintained profit level, reference to good cashflow and good cover of 2.5X.

Is it the loss of Ron Marsh? But that must have been on the cards for a while. Besides after 24 years new blood is probably a little bit overdue. Is the CFO stepping up to CEO the right choice? The new CFO looks good on paper.

As you say, it might be a gift waiting for the taking if you have spare funds around.

Not a great trading statement so i would expect a fall at open this morning. Depending on where it settles i could be interested in picking up some for the long term.

well someones positive with 2x 200k buys this am

[jeffian] 31/1/2013 12:37

Hmmm. IMS today suggests we have stalled a bit on the trading front. Hopefully price rises kicking in later in the year will restore profitability to growth.

Euro strength v. sterling ?

[baxter99] 28/1/2013 09:43

I do like this company but does anyone know why the rise today?

[stluke] 30/11/2012 10:31

Good article, sums up my thoughts looks overdone, turnover down due to euro weakness is pretty much out of their control, ROCE and cash generation improved.

[pugugly] 29/11/2012 12:55

Crashed through £4.00 - Looks as thought attempting a base at 380-390. Thoughts ?

[qs9] 29/11/2012 08:48

And so it proved...may test £4 IMO

[janeann] 28/9/2012 16:20

looked quite a respectable statement to me given the economic pressures. Surprised the pullback but seems to be the norm for this stock

[jon827] 28/9/2012 07:40

Aye, frothy coffee cups still the place to be :)

*advfn being a right pain this morning

[stluke] 28/9/2012 07:31

Thought so, the update I just read said profits ahead of last year, positive update with signals further growth in high margin products.
