2.95 before next RNS?

Investors decide that where there's muck, there's brass (Biffa, Shanks):

Goldman Sachs puts this one on its conviction buy list with a price target of 324p. Broker says: 'Possible consolidation involving Shanks (as an acquirer or a target) could crystallise potential operational synergies and support a valuation of 340p, assuming again all estimated synergies are paid out by a buyer.'

I estimate that the share price should reach 295p before the prelim. result on 31 May. I'd like to hear other people's opinion on this.

[rabbrooks] 17/4/2007 11:57

The interesting feature as far as I am concerned is the huge amount of deals recently.Quite unprecedented I believe.

[maiseymouse] 17/4/2007 07:03

no waste here golden saks has upgraded where there's muck there's brass

[sruk77] 15/4/2007 13:41

I see that ML have graded it as neutral... Whatever the recommendations, I think SKS should reach the 300p mark before its next prelim. results on 31 May.

[mcmichael] 13/4/2007 12:39

Merrill Lynch has down graded this stock from buy to hold yesterday. There must be a reason

[sruk77] 12/4/2007 15:28

Does anyone have thoughts on this stock?

[sruk77] 11/4/2007 08:20

Waste not, want not: Shanks set for regulatory boost.

Published: 07:00 Wednesday 11 April 2007:



Waste management company Shanks Group is in a position to benefit from the European Landfill Directive and UK regulations that minimise waste and promote recycling.

[cottlet] 04/4/2007 15:52

Is anybody able to post a graph?

[sruk77] 03/4/2007 16:48

I think the share price has found support at 270. With the next RNS, it will break the 300p barrier.

[sruk77] 01/4/2007 14:23

Shanks, which alongside peer Biffa PLC is seen as one of few remaining takeover targets in a UK waste management sector with continued bid speculation, said its two acquisitions in the year were progressing to plan.

The sector sentiment as a whole driving the Shanks price up at present. The graphs of Biffa & Shanks are almost identical. People think that this share can go to a high of 500p on back of fundamentals.

[4kevin] 27/3/2007 14:26

these shares will be going a lot higher over the next 6 months

[robson1974] 21/3/2007 22:59

Landfill Tax escalator up from £3 per tonne to £8. A good budget for Shanks.
