Sdl Share Discussion Threads

Yes, looking better although it did rise initially yesterday.

Like you, I'm sitting tight because I'm convinced of the solid business model and eternally developing market.

[das9] 14/11/2008 10:02

sp: I may be distressed, but I'm not selling. Better to-day.

[spaceparallax] 12/11/2008 12:22

Presumably, the share price is suffering as a result of distressed selling - or are we under attack from shorters?

[spaceparallax] 11/11/2008 12:54

Just had a look back in time and should we slip through the 200p level, there's some support around the 175p level. Let's hope that it doesn't happen!

[spaceparallax] 11/11/2008 12:44

D9,

Looks like you'll be getting your top op again.

[das9] 11/11/2008 11:27

any chartists on here?

My uneducated view is that, irrespective of the intra day sp, if we end today at 220 we have a short and long term double bottom, so fill your boots.

But if we end at 210 we're through the long and short term resistance levels so SELL SELL SELL.

[das9] 11/11/2008 11:09

Agreed. Some of my really dodgy holdings are doing better than this.

And again, SDL are presumably a major dollar earner?

[spaceparallax] 11/11/2008 11:03

Much of the Mkt has been senseless recently, but SDL are a really sound business with no financial pressures, so the share price performance here has been particularly crazy.

[das9] 11/11/2008 10:31

Thank you, whoever that was. Back to 220!

[das9] 11/11/2008 10:21

Time to reach under the mattress and get in at 212. Unrepeatable offer.
When was SDL last here? 2006?

[spaceparallax] 07/11/2008 10:57

The share price really is getting silly again; particularly frustrating that we failed to break through the most recent ceiling.

[spaceparallax] 31/10/2008 10:16

L2S,

Ordinarily that would be true, but currently, anything can happen - rationality appears to be out of the window.

[like2share] 31/10/2008 09:11

wakey wakey :-)

[like2share] 31/10/2008 08:19

when the market realises that these are a strong and quality stock, it will move up northwards very quickly, especially when you can only buy in very small amounts, personally have used this retrace to mop up a few over the past week

[spaceparallax] 30/10/2008 16:15

Bizarre share price behaviour recently - in many ways reflecting the general Mkt concerns, rather than SDL's good recent performance figures.

[like2share] 30/10/2008 13:16

Panmure's target of 364 pence is 60% above the current share price ..this share is yet to recover, hopefully will soon IMHO.

[flyfisher] 29/10/2008 13:42

just checked the company website , they are still recruiting strongly , so presumably business will still be busy.

[flyfisher] 28/10/2008 11:17

recent contract wins with hewlett packard, fair isaac, motorola, genzyme, and valve games, looks good, and with the majority of earnings in $ or euro the year end translation looks set to be positive for £ earnings.
quite how much the current economic situation will impact on next year is the bigger question ?

[das9] 15/10/2008 19:37

Flyfisher: thanks (a bit late) for EPS data. September seems a long time ago. We're heading for a 2009 PE of 10. Grim times.

[flyfisher] 14/10/2008 18:51

today's new product launch seems to have been well received

[flyfisher] 08/9/2008 07:29

das, current year eps forecasts are from 21.6p to 23.38p, with a range of 23.7 to 26.4 for next year.
with 90% of sdl's earnings in $ and euro , the recent weakness in sterling should impact positively on the second half figures.

[das9] 06/9/2008 11:06

Flyfisher: could you use your broker forecasts to calculate 08/09 EPS figures please?? Thanks das

[flyfisher] 02/9/2008 10:05

after the recent interims all the covering brokers have in recent weeks upgraded their forecasts. landisbanki upgraded last week and have upped their current year forecast by 1.7m pre tax and their 09 forecast by 2.1m pre tax . it would seem that they like what the company has been telling them.
