milacs,
If all the tradings over the last 4 years are considerd as consolidation, such a launch pad can comfortably support a rise to a level far beyond 220P.

I think you may be correct, looking at £2.2 per share. Philis are you still rueing your sale? I really like the lack of BB interest in this company.

180p after interims on 15th?

[adam7] 07/9/2005 18:45

Further steady tick-up today

[adam7] 05/9/2005 15:29

Will 15th be red letter day?

[adam7] 01/9/2005 18:40

Phillis. I'm looking forward to interims. I reckon the share price will head steadily north over the next 6 months

[phillis] 31/8/2005 15:28

Co says interims scheduled for middle of Sept - no precise date as yet.

[adam7] 25/8/2005 17:22

I for one am happy if the share price holds and builds on 170p

[rafieh] 25/8/2005 08:37

Sunday Times mentioned some top rated fund managers had been buying shares in RPS.

[rafieh] 15/8/2005 17:17

am,
Can you elaborate more please?

Steady rise in the share price Reckon the Directors need to devote more time to providing PR/trading updates to give investors a better insight into the Company's expected growth/profitability in the near/medium term.

[rafieh] 12/8/2005 08:19

Pretty quiet on this board, but it won't remain like this for long. A major chart breakout looks imminent.

[adam7] 08/7/2005 09:51

Aggressive buying. Good to see the acquisition of BusinessHealthcare which should prove to be a winner. What other acquisitions are in the offing? Anyone with any knowledge/street gossip? Can the rise in S/P be maintained and is RPS in the running for chunky contracts re:- the successful London Olympic bid.

This statement in the Corporate Governance section of the last results caught my eye at the time. I'm wondering if it could be significant:

"We are well advanced in preparing for the introduction of IFRS. The most significant change in our reported results will relate to the treatment of goodwill. Amortisation will no longer be required unless impairment is demonstrated."

With amortisation having a big effect on EPS....

[Basic earnings per share:
After goodwill amortisation 6.15
Before goodwill amortisation 9.41 ]

....would such a reporting change have a significant effect on the share price ?? Seems to me that the lower EPS is the one widely reported and used to calculate PE ratios and so allow pundits to declare the share 'expensive' .... any thoughts?

[adam7] 27/6/2005 15:46

Anyone with a view on the recent steady rise?

[phillis] 31/5/2005 15:16

Unfortunately I never sell at the top!(148p and 143p)
I still have a few in a PeP however

[milacs] 25/5/2005 18:45

Phillis

Sorry you lightened at the bottom.

Genuinely sorry for upsetting you Phillis, you were right all along.

[phillis] 10/5/2005 15:19

How about 46 of 59?

[rabain] 10/5/2005 09:30

Thanks Phillis for your excellent contributions, not quite sure (having scrolled back and read the thread and found no mention of speaking to finance director therein) why you're having a strop. :-)

[phillis] 09/5/2005 15:18

...the profitability in the base business was down significantly thru price competition and that the new heads were to do with all the acquired businesses.
Try scrolling back and reading the thread - it's not too difficult!
