surely someone follows this stock

[harry punter] 18/6/2005 14:54

these shares look bombed out --anyone here have a view ?

[hybrasil] 02/6/2005 12:45

Ithink the heading of this thread could be slightly suspect.
I read the results this am at 7. I sold as the market opened. Its a disaster and the market hasnt digested it yet. MD gone - bank problems? No dividend.
could it be worse.

[call-logger] 24/3/2005 12:15

Certainly was.

I bought at 59p in Nov 2001.

Taking dividends off the price brings that down to about 56p to break even.

[garybaldi] 24/3/2005 10:52

When was it last at 53p. Looks to be a log time ago, . I was in at 28p last July .and that seams a long time ago,

[call-logger] 22/3/2005 11:47

Would have to get back to 53p before I get interested.

[garybaldi] 22/3/2005 10:05

Up again today now 31.50 , but this board is still quite, be some intrest soon,I guess when this hits 35p.

LONDON (AFX) - Scapa Group PLC warned that profits for the year to March 2005 will miss market forecasts following significant rises in raw material prices, particularly in North America.

As a result, pretax profits before goodwill and exceptionals will be around 2 mln stg below current market expectations, Scapa said.

Sales will be broadly similar to last year despite the weak dollar, it added.

The group is increasing its selling prices but the benefits of this move will not occur until the next financial year.

Scapa said there had been a small explosion at its Italian tapes manufacturing plant. No one was seriously injured and although there will be some disruption to production in the next few weeks, insurance should cover the costs of the incident, it added.

The company also announced that its Scapa Dryer Fabrics unit was voluntarily dismissed from an asbestos damages case in Seattle in the US shortly after the trial started.

"This dismissal continues to illustrate the robust approach taken in vigorously defending such claims," Scapa said.

Not good news posted on the 14th but up 2 points today, and a 1000000 deal gone through today, anybody know if this was a sell or buy, I dont have that info like some of you bigger boys might have.

[oppo] 15/3/2005 08:33

Yes missed a good short with the look of things. My re-entry point is sub 20.

[garybaldi] 09/2/2005 10:15

I cant believe no one here. From a low as 26p early December to a 32.25p today.And this without any news. I think someone is missing out here ????

[garybaldi] 03/2/2005 19:09

The preliminary results for year ending 31st March are due to be announced on 26th May.

[mgpp] 24/2/2004 13:24

This announcement appeared a couple of days ago:

"Following Scapa's Annual General Meeting on 24th July 2003, the Companies Court
have today approved the special resolution authorising a reduction of share
capital and cancellation of the share premium account."

The significance of this is that the company is now in a position to pay a dividend if it wishes to do so!

Let's hope that we see a resumption of dividend payments as a result.

Good luck to you Jitt, wish you well in the future.

Oppo,

sold my final block of 15k a couple of days ago at 34.25p.........I may well be back and in greater quantities again as I like SCPA and feel it has further to run in the longer term, but with techs going ballistic I felt the money was better put to good use elsewhere.

Paid 20p so pleased with the gain and with a bit of luck I might even nab em on the cheap if we get a pullback :-)

See ya soon

Phil

[the jitters] 18/1/2004 02:51

Well spotted oppo, I must have been napping on friday ;-)

Nice stock overhang clearance there then has helped the stock move up.

Scapa Group plc was notified on 16th January 2004 under the Companies Act 1985
that Artemis Investment Management Limited and certain of its subsidiary
companies have an interest in 4,900,000 shares of the Company. This represents
3.38% of the shares currently in issue.

so now we know who the buyer is.
