Sectorguard Share Discussion Threads

why does this share price move on such small buys? I am not complaining as i am a small holder.

[strudwick] 27/6/2006 11:48

I've just looked at this company. My back of envelope calcs tell me that based on a price of 4.5p and a normal tax charge of 30% the pe for 06 is 14, which imo is too dear for a company with acquisition led growth and little eps growth.

Good results and all is obviously going well on sales.

A little concearn over their website though. If you try and contact them to register for updates via email, you get the following reply:

"I am sorry but I have now left SectorGuard. Please contact David Marks if it is a work related issue.

Regards,

Nigel Brown "

You'd think they would update their details when people leave.

mcjj

At the top of the results summary you will see either 6 months 'til March or YEAR 'til September. The £16 mill is the full years turnover, not just the 6 months from March until September.

DE-RAMP? As if anybody would take notice of anything you say from now on. Hardly the worlds greatest expert are you?

LOL

GOOD LUCK TO ALL.....I AM NOT TRYING TO DERAMP

Thanks Los Ricos.

Results confirm SGD very much on track and share price yet to reflect the true value of this business. Tried topping up @ 4.00p, but broker unable to deal, though others were successful I see!

[mcjj] 26/6/2006 07:43

SKYSHIP all i can see is turnover march 05 £7.8 million...september 05 £16 million......march 06 £9 million.please explain where i have read the results wrongly.

[los ricos] 26/6/2006 07:43

Comparable turnover period 'til 31 march 7 v 9. full year for 2005 last 6 months turnover doubled. can't say it fell from 16 to 9 as that is full to half year.


Six months ended Six months ended Year ended
31 March 2006 31 March 2005 30 September 2005

Turnover 9,104,547 7,857,225 16,375,097



Admin expenses are the ONE OFF registration costs and integration of electronics business.


It's all there in the RNS.

[robtre] 26/6/2006 07:29

my concern is the disproportionate increase in admin expenses and fall in eps. i will call david marks and ask for his views.

[skyship] 26/6/2006 07:24

mcjj - go back & check - 6m v. 12m !!

[mcjj] 26/6/2006 07:03

[robtre] 26/6/2006 06:59

please explain

[mcjj] 26/6/2006 06:43

massive fall in turnover from last six months?

[swwikmi] 19/6/2006 21:28

250k seller ahead of results - inside in the know or clumsy seller ?

[chapman123] 15/6/2006 12:26

results due next week should it rise before expected good results ???

[los ricos] 13/6/2006 06:51

Taken from GFS trading statement; seems news is good for SIA registered officers:

* G4S Security Services (UK) won a number of contracts as a result of the
implementation of security officer licensing in the UK. Some medium-sized
competitors are still to gain Approved Contractor Status. During the second
half of the year, we expect the licensing authority (SIA) to begin to take
action against companies employing unlicensed security officers.

[gazwenn] 12/6/2006 12:03

what will it take to make this share price move north? It all looks very good to me.

Very Secure Shares

By David Kuo (TMFDragon)
June 1, 2006
I used to think that our police had sole responsibility for maintaining law and order in Britain. But a growing platoon of private security guards are now almost as important at protecting private property as the boys and girls in blue. These security guards come in various flavours that include minders, bouncers, door supervisors, keyholders and vehicle immobilisers.

In total there are over 500,000 people employed in the private security industry that is estimated to be worth around £4bn a year. Insurance company Zurich reckons that some of the UK's wealthiest people are spending up to £30,000 a year on private security measures that include intruder alarms linked to receiving centres.

Sectorguard (LSE: SGD), which is valued at 10 times earnings is also relatively inexpensive. Earnings at the security company have more than trebled in four years, with profits expected to increase 70% in the next two years.

cannot see the interims being bad the thing that has held it back is the constant issue of shares and therefore no real progress at EPS level but divi
and profits up YOY hope for rise in interim divi this time and 5p+ before too long get in now not hope for it to fall else you never will

[trader2] 07/6/2006 13:46

Interims are 19Jun06 acc to their web site.

[skyship] 06/6/2006 17:42

Was hoping for some cheap stock - esp. after that poor investor who took just 3.75p for 200k the other day. Most likely sold through a broker who accepted a 0.25p write-down for trading in "size". Some brokers still seem to value their relationship with the MMs more than that with their clients!

Anyway, as yet no cheap offer @ 4.0p - but will wait a bit further before adding - perhaps the Interims will disappoint initially due to goodwill write-downs; but I expect the underlying to be highly positive.

[vernkel] 05/6/2006 21:44

No idea. But the price seems to move about a bit on this one... has the usual AIM end of day markdown by the look of it.

[chapman123] 05/6/2006 10:08

anyone know the results date ??
last year it was 20th June

[vernkel] 18/5/2006 12:15

Well Hi all. I'm on onboard now!

[chapman123] 10/5/2006 15:41

needs some more exposure to get to that 7.5p next lot of results might just do it
results due in around 5 weeks time also expect divi hike
