I suspect the GSS could benefit from increased defence spending from Europe. Although GSS appears to be more of a US/Global defensive worldview but significant increased spending in ukraine could benefit GSS. The size and scope is difficult to know unless there are more experts here. |
40k buy @ 98p from yesterday reported late today to explain the tick up on the Offer yesterday. That's a good chunk. I had a modest buy order in today for 3,500 @ 103p but it didn't even get partially filled. Bodes well. |
the mcap is less than £15m… You could write one yourself and publish it? I remember Allenby capital used to do write ups on this stock but it just is too small now. Which really gives smaller traders a huge advantage |
There seem to be a lot of 10K purchases this week so maybe buyers ahead of the results in a few weeks. The next results should show further significant improvement and of course there are nearly 10% less shares in issue now after the big buybacks so the earnings per share will be even better than expected IMHO
I cannot see less than 15p eps for the year following the updates but it would be so much more helpful if there were research and forecasts available to the market. That is something the new NEDs should address as I think it holds back some investors from investing when in reality this is one of the top performing companies on AIM. |
Ai automated Market makers who bought at 60p happy to sell to you at 100p all day long. |
MMs must've taken a bit of stock on board as I've managed to take a few this afternoon without any impact on the price. Fingers crossed it isn't somebody who knows more than me and is exiting swiftly in the opposite direction! None of the trades have appeared in the trade logs yet... |
I think RTC next month should be far better than the other companies in the sector. Hercules Site services HERC seems to be flying at the moment and raised money to acquire other companies |
Gattaca reassures today |
Is “corporate transactions” and “takeoversR21; not mergers? |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) 1102315410 Feb '25 - 11:50 - 1874 of 1877 Why hire a specialist in mergers then?
Who is actually a specialist in mergers? I think his CV looks like he has been involved in lots of things so not sure you can read too much into that
Wayne is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales and has extensive experience managing United Kingdom and international businesses, both publicly listed and privately owned, through periods of rapid growth and change. He has significant experience of corporate transactions including preparing companies for flotation, delisting, reverse-takeover, Class 1 transactions and mergers and acquisitions, and has handled both debt and equity fundraisings and refinancings. Wayne qualified with Arthur Andersen in London and has spent over 25 years working with boards and shareholders to drive shareholder value, typically in a main board CFO/COO capacity
To be honest RTC is so lowly rated and in the strongest position in the whole sector that I am surprised there has not been an approach before now. It is interesting that the largest shareholders after the Douie family actually have significant holdings in two other companies in the same sector so at some point may encourage consolidation but RTC are the best without a doubt |
Yes. How does a CEO have any available time to be a non-exec of a much bigger business in RTC. I guess some sort of business synergy. |
Nice 10k buy towards the close today which hopefully marks the start of some buying interest with 6 weeks to go until Finals.
Edit - followed by what looks like 2 further buys of 10k each reported late. Interesting. |
was this the October appointment |
Why hire a specialist in mergers then? |
No, the company is way undervalued. |
The market cap for STAF is minuscule!RTC need to improve their wafer thin margins. Hopefully they can build on recent success. But the sector is unfashionable. Was hoping for a rerate, but results will need to be spectacular. |
Although I would never buy STAF since the Goodwill/Intangibles are almost twice Net Assets, so it actually has a very weak BS in contrast to RTC that has little or no GW on the balance sheet |
Staffline results/Trading Update today was good. Makes me optimistic for RTC results. |
![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) This was announced on a Friday so no doubt lots of investors missed it.
The share price has drifted downwards for no good reason so I feel we will be getting attention from competitors in the sector as we are doing far better than the others...
RTC Group Plc (AIM: RTC.L) is pleased to announce that since June we have been trading in line with the positive expectations about our short, medium, and long-term prospects set out in our interim statement. The Board is therefore confident of the trading prospects for the Group in the current financial year and expects to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2024 on or around 24 March 2025.
Andy Pendlebury, Chairman and CEO, said:
"I am delighted the Group can provide this trading update.
Economic conditions across the UK remain challenging, driving both fierce competition and revenue concerns, as evidenced by a number of earning downgrades across the sector. Despite this, we continue to drive growth through our focus on strong sector positioning, our people development, our systems enhancement, and our attention to excellent service and quality which continues to provide valuable differentiation for us with our clients.
Whilst the recent budget will no doubt intensify both cost pressures and competition across all sectors of the economy during 2025, we remain confident in our ability to capture further value for our shareholders as the government's commitment to investment in large scale infrastructure projects begins to unfold." |
So Eps high 14 or low 15. The 6% in my isa is a great return.
More than happy ATM Tiger |
4.5p was a big dividend. Can we suspect to see this again going forward? |
Where is the growth coming from going forward? |
I remain a buyer. Yield alone is great |
You would think with the appointment of the new non exec Directors, the news flow here would have improved. Just more money spent on pointless recruitment at a time when their wafer thin margins needed improving. |
