i think that sell 52000 @ 3.75 is a buy

So XD will be Wednesday, 1st February 2006.

They got the year wrong:-)

[swwikmi] 29/12/2005 10:59

anyone aware the date this becomes or became ex-div ?

[omalaha] 23/12/2005 12:46

no, but it is going to finish the year higher than when it started, which is more than you can say about other stocks on some very busy ADVFN threads.

Merry Xmas to y'all.

[kanani] 21/12/2005 12:57

This stock doesn't stay up for very long does it?

[kanani] 19/12/2005 15:58

This stock has Net assets at the year end of £8,169,000 and a market cap of £11,560,000. So for 3.4 million pounds invested, you get a gross profit of 3 million pounds.

So why is this stock not worth at least triple it's current share price?

[omalaha] 14/12/2005 14:53

yes it would be nice have a new support at 4p. too many small but profitable AIM stocks find it difficult to break out of narrow trading ranges, now if it was oil they were dealing in, that would be a different matter. anyway, i predict 5p in 6 months time (GOSH!!).

[skyship] 13/12/2005 14:40

The results look perfectly respectable & am happy with the doubled dividend.

SGD is likely to move better over the next qtr as the results are reported, annual report despatched and AGM held.

Technically, the 4p level has to be overcome if we are to make progress. It seems to me that the Fundamentals dictate that the 4p resistance will fall rather than support @ 3.5p fail. The 50day MA is now rising through 3.6p and should effectively raise the support level, so a break up through 4p may take a little time or it could happen tomorrow - whatever, what's the rush! With the first upside target of 5.5p being some 40% higher - I'm prepared to wait.....zzzzzzzzzzzzz

[ponty] 13/12/2005 11:22

From todays Times
Sectorguard ticked up .25 to 3.75 as Seymour Piers used slighty better than expected full year figures to repeat "buy" advice on the manned guarding group, which it expectes to benefit from tighter regulation of security personnel from March.

[omalaha] 12/12/2005 22:16

m5 - profit was down due to the SIA licensing, this was signaled in the recent trading update and explained in the results; "This additional expenditure is reflected in the profits and has resulted in a temporary 1 per cent. reduction in gross margin. We are confident this reductionin margin will be recovered in the current year."
I think these are a good set of results; SGD are a solid company with a clear vision of what they are trying to achieve and I have every confidence in the management. Unfortunatley, like many small but profitable companies,they are overlooked. Only some deserved press coverage will push up the share price MMs shoved up the ask this am but there were'nt many takers. SGD will have their moment, but it's hard to say when.

[m5] 12/12/2005 13:29

Not bad results, however while T/O is up and gross profit is up, net profit is down from last year. I think the next 12 months will be important and I would like to see the business consolidate a little before pushing forward again.Hopefully consolidating under one roof will help reduce some costs. Lets see some revenue down to the bottom line and get those margins up. As my accountant says to me turnover vanity, profit sanity.
Not sure these results will have a marked affect in the SP, but one to tuck away IMHO. I hold.

[knowing] 12/12/2005 11:15

Nice set of results.

[ponty] 12/12/2005 11:11

And me, happy holding longer

[janus62] 12/12/2005 11:09

Final results.

Looks good to me

[omalaha] 09/12/2005 14:47

Could also be because the SGD website still has results as 10/01/06, so monday could be merely rumour; can anyone confirm?

[omalaha] 09/12/2005 14:44

It's almost laughable, results out monday, no reason to think they will disappoint, and only 4 trades today, 2 sells (why sell today?). I can think of plenty of AIM stocks that have never made a buck and on the merest promise of even smelling break-even the traders pile in and the share price flys north, but solid performers like SGD go ignored. Just another example of the irrationality of the market.
