Surprised at the continued weakness here. Would have thought they were in the sweet spot with record secondhand car sales for their car finance business.

[jeffian] 30/11/2016 22:56

Couldn't resist.

Well I dipped in for a few when it went under 2200 - and it promptly plunged! Maybe I should get to grips with some of this 'Level 2' stuff. Happy for the long term though and will be in for more.

We saw significant drop off in the share price at the back end of last yr as well, its probably not helped that most of the motor retailers have been under the cosh. I've taken opportunity to increase my holding by a decent amount in the last week or so, still believe that we'll see close to 180p EPS in the February results putting them on 11.9x PE, 4.2% divi & a fcast PEG well under 1.
Trading update next week based on last yr's timings.
Jeffian - spread can be ugly at times, have built my holding over many yrs & haven't sold as yet so can't offer ant guidance, apologies.

sale time, 2146 on the offer

I've held these shares for yonks but not traded any since my original purchase. Anyone any idea/experience of liquidity and how easy it is to trade in size?

[tudes100] 17/11/2016 12:14

Have a limit order in for just above 2200p, hoping might be able to get some more today at some point. As Plas says update due early December, based on current improvements in customer numbers I'm looking for 180p+ EPS this year.

ThanksI also think a buy

[jeffian] 17/11/2016 10:11

No, I don't. It's only just over a month since the interims which included a positive outlook statement. I'm tempted to buy more.

[plasybryn] 17/11/2016 10:05

I can't see any fundamental reason.
It is just in one of its quiet periods when those with spare cash are probably wise to take advantage.
I think we just have to wait for the Trading Update on 8th December, which will no doubt be positive as it always is.
Anthony will then do a BRR interview and we will see a bit of interest leading into the Santa Rally.
Goes ex dividend on 25th February I believe.

[nfs] 17/11/2016 10:00

The share price is going in the wrong direction!Anyone got a view as to why?

[plasybryn] 20/10/2016 11:52

Goes ex dividend tomorrow 21st October.
Trading Update on 8th December

They know what they are doing and won't be distracted.
Very clear, comfortable strategy which just continues to drive in cash.
Low risk, high long term reward.
Well done Anthony & team

Well balanced and interesting interview.

Proactive Investors is here:

[firtashia] 29/9/2016 09:59

FY17 EPS forecasts (170p) left unchanged following the results. FY18 forecasts (also left unchanged) still look belting though: PBT £30.4m (EPS 202p). Of course this is a fair way yet but SUS management have a habit of delivering.

[firtashia] 27/9/2016 09:08

Took the opportunity to add to my holdings here. I hate averaging up and have no success with it- but this stock is the exception.

[tudes100] 27/9/2016 08:40

Great read, well done S&U and all holders

[rogerbridge] 27/9/2016 07:39

Excellent results and increase in dividend. We may even have a nice special dividend if this progress continues. I wish all my investments were as reliable as SUS. Well done Coombes.

[plasybryn] 27/9/2016 07:36

Great results. Dividend up 20%.Very impressive.Great dig at Brexit doomsayers!

[cwa1] 27/9/2016 07:33

Yawwwwwwwnnnnn :-)

[plasybryn] 03/9/2016 16:25

Half year results later this month on 27th September
Should be good imo.
I expect a new high to be reached by Xmas.
Chart looks in fine order as well.

[gorse] 05/8/2016 10:31

My largest shareholding by value just got more valuable.

[rogerbridge] 05/8/2016 08:00

What a company!

[tudes100] 05/8/2016 07:43

You've got to love being an S&U shareholder
