Im happy to keep holding this in the ISA & see where we are in a few years time..

Good results.

carpingtris - I agree. The company has done exceptionally well to produce the performance they have. However whether the share is an investment candidate at this price is another matter. Although people are quoting the forward statement, eps next year will be well down on this year, because of the adjustments.

Reading between the lines, Senior management are being cautious re:
"The current year has started ahead of the Board's expectations and, consequently, prospects for 2010, which were previously forecast to be more difficult than in 2009, have improved and the Group's performance for 2010 is now anticipated to be broadly in line with the
2009 outcome."

I would expect Trading and Profit ahead of expectations in their next update.

This bit should help.

RCTurner2 -

Given the climate i don't think many can hold that against them.... still very profitable and goes to show what things could be like when global markets improve

There is something in the results for everyone, depending upon your point of view. Good debt figures, good cash generation and good forward statement. On the bad side the true operating profit is much lower than last year.

The market new about the reduction in debt as it was mentioned in a previous RNS

[carpingtris] 01/3/2010 08:14

I do not see an unchanged DIVI as a problem.... in some respects it's lucky given the current climate that a DIVI can be paid at all :-) when lots of companies out there have cut or decided to not pay one at all....

[broadwood] 01/3/2010 08:13

Yep, the reduction in debt the market will be very happy about.

[leedskier] 01/3/2010 08:09

Well managed company.

[foodcritic] 01/3/2010 07:25

Looks good enough to me, eps flattered slightly by the pension gain and exchange movements but that's swings and roundabouts.

I like the reduction in debt and the more upbeat outlook for 2010 than previous.

[leedskier] 01/3/2010 07:12

I will leave others more knowledgeable to comment on the RNS. I do note the divi is unchanged.

[sarahbudd] 28/2/2010 19:03

Well I added more on Friday ................hoping ;-)

[carpingtris] 28/2/2010 17:31

Interesting day tomorrow :-) hope peeps are gonna be up nice and early......

The falling GBP will not harm.

[gurunostradamus] 26/2/2010 16:07

...indeed loads of buying...let us hope and pray that this donkey will rise above from the ashes and transform itself into a pony...by reaching the important milestone of 3 figures over the next mooncycle...take care...as always be ever so cautious when dealing with these donkey markets...

[gurunostradamus] 26/2/2010 16:07

...answer to a fool always remains silence...

[leedskier] 26/2/2010 15:48

I noticed a lot of buying after NY opened. Perhaps the Americans buy too.

[gurunostradamus] 26/2/2010 14:26

...just added 75% more on this donkey...

[leedskier] 26/2/2010 14:08

Just doubled up ahead of Monday.

[mazarin] 25/2/2010 15:37

A 3rd 787 joined Boeing's test program yesterday - ZA004 with its first 3hr flight reportedly went very well.

[leedskier] 25/2/2010 12:14

I expect it will rise on Monday.

[leedskier] 25/2/2010 10:52

My son's birthday and he has always had a charmed life ;)

[carpingtris] 22/2/2010 07:44

[dancing piranha] 20/2/2010 13:14
