Why so weak at 570p?? RSI is 31. Below 50 and 200 day moving averages. Grateful for any ideas anyone!

[phillis] 22/1/2020 10:00

xd 7p tomorrow

[undervaluedassets] 24/12/2019 09:01

hmm another better looking day. .

[undervaluedassets] 20/12/2019 13:43

Better looking day today.

I was wondering when this was going head north again.

Soundly beat expectations at last results a couple weeks back and yet has largely fallen since.

[quepassa] 11/12/2019 14:04

Nice rise this morning

I see Phillis is the resident idiot here
Best to filter and ignore him as most people did on the Thomas Cook thread

Also RWS record results have been announced on a bad day for the wider market..

high volatility stocks will bear the brunt of falls on days when the market dives..

A bad day for the market has crowded out the good results (great results even.. ) released today.

buy rating reiterated in today's IC.

[standish11] 10/12/2019 11:08

Perhaps the comment in the outlook para of the exults statement has triggered some profit taking:-

Underlying performance in the first two months has been in line with the Board's expectations, but the sharp increase in the GBP/USD exchange rate is clearly unhelpful.

[undervaluedassets] 10/12/2019 10:59

Right well having read the whole results statement these numbers would indeed appear to be a beat..

Must be the "it is better to travel than arrive" brigade selling today.

It always seems to me that if a share has market beating results and the share price falls on those results (a not infrequent occurrence) that you get double jam. Namely great results + the opportunity to buy cheaply.

Have nibbled a few more.

next big acquisition is where I wonder?

[mfhmfh] 10/12/2019 10:37

net debt reduced by 43%.

Berenberg today reiterates buy rating and increases target price to 740p from 670p.

[mfhmfh] 10/12/2019 10:25

RNS headline states:

'Strong growth and increased margins drove results ahead of consensus market forecasts'

Also:

'Growth in sales and profits across all three main divisions'

Andrew Brode, Chairman of RWS, commented:

'
Despite widespread economic and political uncertainty, I take much pleasure in chairing a fast expanding Group which is an acknowledged leader in a growing business sector.'

[robinnicolson] 10/12/2019 09:57

Just profit taking combined with the note of caution in the outlook regarding exchange rates.

[redartbmud] 10/12/2019 09:55

Must be phenomenal, if the share price is -5%

[phillis] 10/12/2019 09:50

great results - as promised
Tx again AB

"...but eps way short of high expectations"

Broker forecast was for adjusted EPS of 21.0p.
RWS reported adjusted EPS of 21.3p

[slogsweep] 10/12/2019 09:15

turnover in line but eps way short of high expectations so given sky high rating any faltering will be punished . Still like the company long term - probably too late to sell for trade now so will hold not inclined to add though.

[robinnicolson] 10/12/2019 09:12

Berenberg raised their price target to 740p from 670p.

"Strong growth and increased margins drove results ahead of consensus market forecasts."

[undervaluedassets] 10/12/2019 07:53

was that a market expectation beat?

or just what was expected (or less) ?

Not sure..

PE is eye-watering so needs to be special..

[mfhmfh] 06/12/2019 17:00

full year results on 10th December.

[phillis] 06/12/2019 16:25

Thank you AB
