19/7/2018 19:16	MM, Wrong choice of word, thing is, to make any acquisitions would be expensive given the current share price So best we can expect is 2% organic growth for this year, down from 2.8% last year. 2020 might be tricky. Cash flow and core sales are now priority, not to mention the 70%+ gearing. According to 2018 year end accounts; Only £186m in securities & cash and only £10m Cash. £167.7m in debt must be paid back within 12 months and then a bumper £668.6m debt must be paid back within 2 years! So it will take a while for any benefits handed out to long suffering shareholders, RPC spent £100m on share buybacks and the share price went down! Sentiment is order of the day here and with 11 fund managers shorting RPC with 8.45% of the stock, the public's hatred of plastic waste and more Blue Planet programmes to come, I can't see sentiment changing anytime soon.	beckers2008	Read Full Thread Reply
19/7/2018 19:01	I should have liked to go to the AGM and asked some awkward questions but not possible for me. I should also have liked to read the Annual Report and study the directors remunerations and LTIPs but found the print of the photocopied version printed on their website impossible to read. I have asked for a printed copy but too late in the day. It annoys me that it now requires such an effort to get information and vote. I now have 2880 shares, which for me is a large holding, and with so much shorting and financial journalists saying "sell" and the recovery in the share price not being sustained, I am starting to worry that my confidence might possibly be misplaced. Why are they not making bigger profits and why is the market so down on them?	bouleversee	Read Full Thread Reply
19/7/2018 18:31	How are the board admitting defeat? Slight increase in organic sales, reduced cost base, a decent divi and a low multiple all look good to me. Just a bit out of fashion at the moment. The share price volatility is presumably affecting acquisitions as I believe they usually offer shares in lieu of cash which was probably attractive to sellers when the price was rising, with the recent fall I should imagine potential targets will be wanting hard cash rather than shares. I’m keeping hold for now.	mauricemonkey	Read Full Thread Reply
19/7/2018 12:01	With this stock being shorted to the tune of over 8%, time to move on, the BOD are admitting defeat, woeful performance.	beckers2008	Read Full Thread Reply

19/7/2018 08:19	Daily Telegraph's 'Questor' has put a sell on this today. Personally, I think the fundamentals are all good and I shall be holding.	jeffian	Read Full Thread Reply
18/7/2018 09:21	Cant see a pause from acquisitions doing any harm nor indeed the possibility of cash being returned to shareholders	phillis	Read Full Thread Reply
18/7/2018 09:14	Some investors happy with continued expansion via acquisition, with finance costs/leverage offset by higher returns from acquisitions, but others want to see period of consolidation to evidence core business is expanding with organic growth, not merely a poor core masked by the endless exceptional costs for acquissitions. Between frying pan and fire they have to find a middle ground, hence the short term strategy. IMO.	dr_smith	Read Full Thread Reply

17/7/2018 10:13	Good rally and now filled the gap since the results. As you can see from the chart this might trigger a change in the direction of the share price. free stock charts from uk.advfn.com	prokartace	Read Full Thread Reply

27/6/2018 15:55	It was't mentioned on here but there was quite a long piece on RPC in Ian Cowie's 'Personal Account' column in the Money section of last week's Sunday Times. hTTps://www.thetimes.co.uk/past-six-days/2018-06-24/money/ian-cowie-sorry-sir-david-i-think-plastics-fantastic-mlr27zmbk You may not be able to read the whole thing if you're not a subscriber. Nothing that we don't already know but Cowie concludes that the anti-plastic mood should not impact RPC in the short term, as it does not produce any of the proscribed products, and may be to its long-term advantage due to its research and development into sustainable/biodegradable plastics. He's bought it as it is cheap (PER and dividend) compared to its peer group. One thing of which I was not aware was that the 'accounting practices' which Northern Trust so disliked are being considered by the accounting standards regulator ("there are worries about the way this is presented, and confirmation that RPC is corresponding with the accounting standards regulator knocked a further 6% off the shares on Tuesday"). Cowie concludes that having Standard Life, AXA and Black Rock at the head of the shareholder register should reassure that there is nothing 'dodgy' going on.	jeffian	Read Full Thread Reply
27/6/2018 15:32	On the other hand, I understand RPC are now over 8% shorted, though I can't understand why. I also have quite a large holding, by my standards.	bouleversee	Read Full Thread Reply

15/6/2018 11:37	Multiple acquisitions doesn't seem to have impeded the phenomenal growth of VCP and they haven't paid any dividend at all since the new management did a special which was more than my purchase price which was only around £3k so my £65k+ is all profit in just a few years. I would love to know why they rocket and RPC falls. It's hard to believe that one PE shorter could influence the market to that extent when so many of us can only see a good story and he presumably understands the type of product they produce and their concern for the environment just as we do. We can't live without plastic and I doubt if their business will be much affected by the current anti-plastic mania.	bouleversee	Read Full Thread Reply
