Good tip in IC

[phillis] 29/8/2019 15:15

further benefits from weak sterling

[mikkydhu] 21/8/2019 09:36

I gather it has been recommended by Tempus in The Times.

weak pound surely good for RWS...

IC go one better with a buy recommendation. Although p/e is higher than normal they feel that buy rec is justified by likely expansion/ growth into Far Eastern markets particularly China.

respectable results.

- Language and intellectual property support services provider RWS Holdings booked a 51% rise in first-half profit, driven by higher demand, favorable exchange rates and cost control.

Pre-tax profit for the six months through March rose to £27.6m, up from £18.3m on-year.

Revenue rose 23% to £172.3m and adjusted profit rose 24% to £35.6m.

RWS declared an interim dividend of 1.75p per share, up 17% on-year.

The company said its trading performance since the period end had been in line with market expectations, which were upgraded during a trading update in April.

'RWS has delivered a strong first half with record revenues and profits, driven by our three largest divisions,' chairman Andrew Brode said.

'We are particularly pleased with the improved performance at RWS Moravia, which has achieved both healthy top- line growth and strong margins through focused operational management.'

'Following a strong first half and encouraging performances at the start of the second half, we are confident of achieving another record year.'

let's see what tomorrow brings...

[mfhmfh] 18/4/2019 13:07

Berenberg today reiterates buy rating and raises target price to 615p (from previous 530p).

[microscope] 18/4/2019 12:21

Fabulous update. Rock solid company continuing to produce the goods year in year out. Far worse investments in the FTSE 100. All imho

[campbed] 18/4/2019 07:30

What a star this share has been over the last 13 years since my first purchase. Always exceeds expectations: under promise, over achieve.

[mfhmfh] 18/4/2019 07:28

can't see any negatives at all in that statement.

no triumphalism either. happy to downplay things and let the results speak for themselves.

looking at further acquisitions as well.

IMHO.

[redartbmud] 18/4/2019 07:20

Ditto.
Mr Brode certainly knows how to develop and grow a business.

[tudes100] 18/4/2019 07:16

Excellent update, reduction in debt encouraging & Moravia acquisition really firing. Happy holder

[phillis] 18/4/2019 06:52
