I'm not sure I'd be buying in just yet. This could fall further over the coming days, that was a pretty large profit warning and may take several days to sink in.

[tday] 18/6/2013 10:53

Bought in too.

[tweeeek] 18/6/2013 10:50

I'll take some at this price, maybe they will be gobbled up at this price.

Not even the usual dead cat bounce you normally get in the first few hours of trading!
When the best thing you can say is that managed to hire some new people you know you are in trouble!

[parvez] 18/6/2013 08:08

i would say around 140p so another 100-120p to go before this is worth even thinking about let alone buying!

[rivaldo] 18/6/2013 07:38

Wow - a massive profit warning. SDL forecast £15m-£20m PBT against already vastly reduced forecasts ranging from £26m-£30m....

How low will this go now - down to 200p perhaps? Not worth dipping in for a while yet methinks.

well on 21 May he certainly did not buy SDL at 268p. Nice recovery though

If they can grow earnings in double figures in '14 they are decidedly cheap,
unless you are brave it's too early to call imv.

Well, without a strong bounce in the next 6 weeks they will be relegated from the FTSE 250

[she-ra] 26/4/2013 17:18

Maybe not too soon to buy back in.The city scribblers might bring out those old takeover rumours that always appear after a significant drop.

[rivaldo] 26/4/2013 11:25

I note that Numis have reduced their current year forecasts to 25.1p EPS. Others at present vary from 27.3p to 30.1p EPS, though they may change too after yesterday's news.

Much too soon to buy back in imho.

[rivaldo] 25/4/2013 11:41

Another profit warning today, though reasonably mild. It'll be interesting to see whether forecasts drop again from the current 28p-29p EPS for this year.

The share price could drop to 300p at this rate with no expectation/proof of an upturn until H2 at the earliest per today's RNS.

[birdsedgeuk] 14/4/2013 17:51

Ims this week

[she-ra] 04/4/2013 21:34

Rose yesterday before being upgraded today.Quite alot of shares bought on contract near the end of last week.

I suppose we might see some selling now unless of course other brokers follow suit as usually happens.

[bbluesky] 29/3/2013 21:25

Thoughts-the tide is with them. Globalisation=translation. Best of breed? Probably, perhaps my ignorance, but competitors? Short term who knows - long term imv no prob.

[hedley2] 29/3/2013 18:04

Anyone got any thoughts on the weakness of the share price of late? I know the results did not impress, but they seem to be punished on a regular basis.

[markt] 27/3/2013 18:39

Hi Riv
The MD share buy for his daughter is not looking so good at this instant !...

quite a fall from 550p to just under 400p now....ugly looking graph...

I got out of SDL too early on the upward path...as something else took my fancy...at least I missed the fall...

...quite a bit of volatility in the market recently.....quite a few shares taking an share price tumble...such as Cupid & SDL
with CRE ...boring us all to tears !

KFX, another IT stalwart....sp been up and down...

[rivaldo] 26/3/2013 10:30

Hi flyfisher. Apologies, I've deleted the note already I'm afraid. However, it was only a one-pager, so the conclusion above is a good proportion of it anyway!

The reduction in forecasts to 29.3p is quite drastic. It's possible the share price may fall a fair bit further given that the forward P/E remains over 14, so I'll wait on the sidelines for a while yet methinks unless something changes.

[flyfisher] 25/3/2013 19:13

rivaldo , would you be kind enough to email me the investec note you have ,if so i will put my email address up.

[birdsedgeuk] 14/3/2013 20:41

Investec reduce forecasts heavily today to 29.3p EPS:

"DJ MARKET TALK: Investec Securities Lowers SDL Target Price

1007 GMT [Dow Jones] Investec Securities lowers its target price for SDL (SDL.LN) to 570p from 580p following the company's FY 2012 results. Investec notes the results are in line with forecasts and 2H 2012 cash flow saw a good improvement. It adds management has flagged a further GBP4 million to GBP5 million in marketing and R&D spending in FY 2013, on top of the GBP3 million to GBP4 million previously announced. It says with trends in SDL's market backdrop showing structural growth and the company's products ranking well in the industries it serves, this spending should drive longer-term value. But in the near term, there will be a P&L impact. Investec reduces its FY 2013 pretax profit forecast for SDL to GBP30.9 million from GBP40.7 million and its 2013 EPS estimate to 29.3p from 38.4p. Shares are down 12.3% to 438p."
