Trading update


Following its recent year end of 30 September, Servoca Plc, which is
predominantly focused on providing resourcing services to the public sector
education and healthcare sectors, is pleased to confirm that trading remains
robust.


All divisions are delivering profits and Servoca has continued to make progress
in the second half of the year. Results for the year ended 30 September 2009
will be comfortably ahead of expectations and the Board
looks forward to further growth in 2010.


The Board continues to invest in new business areas and initiatives which are
essential to drive medium term growth and shareholder value. The Company
expects to announce its preliminary results to 30 September 2009 in January
2010.

Results were issued in March last year.

[wskill] 19/1/2010 13:24

Have you seen any report of when we will get them Matt?

[matt] 18/1/2010 19:17

Expecting results next week : )

[matt] 05/1/2010 09:16

Quoted spread is meaningless on this. Current offer is 17.4p for 25k.

Good morning Saucepan

The the usual statement has been saying ahead of expectations the last one said comfortably ahead so trading is improving reading between the lines, well thats my take on the situation also with the likes of SKIL and others in the same field doing very well we seem to well undervalued in comparison results will be sometime in January not sure of the date as yet.

Hello folks

I joined you long this morning, ahead of results tomorrow. SCVA looks a good recovery play, with forecast growth in turnover and profits. The market seems to have largely overlooked the positive October trading statement.

It is reassuring, too, to have discovered such a quiet board. A hidden gem?

The most obvious risk factor, it seems to me, is that SCVA's contracts are all public service related and we may possibly see cuts in public sector spending to address national debt. However, it also looks as if much of what SCVA provides are "essential" services that could be required come what may.

I'd welcome other views to bring me further up to speed with this stock.

All good wishes

Saucepan

As a rule of thumb Matt it is always a good sign when the bashers arrive I know then its the time to pick up a few more

[optimistok] 30/12/2009 19:50

Matt. Thank you - I stand corrected. It should have read 'ALMANACK' The English Version. Regards Opti

Look at another company in the same market Matt HLO with a market cap of 295m in comparison to SVCAs 19.5m ok HLO has a turnover of 2.7 times of SVCA and pays a small divi and you can see how mispriced this share is with year end results known to be above managements expectations it may be possible for a divi here with the results in January.

[optimistok] 30/12/2009 10:55

Matt - Try Old Moores Almanac LOL

[matt] 30/12/2009 09:42

Because I wondered what it said?

[targatarga] 30/12/2009 07:09

Matt - why would you want to....

[matt] 29/12/2009 23:41

Anyone know where I can get an up to date forecast for these?

[wskill] 23/10/2009 15:52

Another tick up after a few buys on Plus for 20k SVCA it does not take much to move the shareprice looks like there is a shortage of stock now

[wskill] 22/10/2009 08:49

Many thanks littlemadam it will take some time for this share to be rerated with the new management in place I would hope by the companys year end figures which we already know will beat expectations .

[targatarga] 21/10/2009 21:47

littlemadam - this co has such a bad history...i'm still a holder but much diluted. good luck all....

[littlemadam] 21/10/2009 21:07

wskill and other holders.

This has ben tipped by Midas of the Mail online today (after the close) so just had a look in here.

I am surprised at the low level of interest and low rating. I can see this deserves a much better rating.

I do not hold but admit you holders deserve a much better reward. I am tempted to buy in, as very often the Midas tip adds at least 10%. But the share price graph does not excite me. (this from someone who bought into MSS a while ago, so no comment!)

Good luck, I hope today's Midas tip helps you.

So much for the buyers returning on Monday we do not seem to have much selling to cause this drop the main shareholders hold 64% at least the directors interests are aligned with ours being such large shareholders something I like to see in my investments I am sure a dividend will be on the cards at the year end.

The directors hold a goodly amount of shares so their interests are aligned with the shareholders always a good sign the more I read about SVCA the better it looks
