problems facing Biffa - .In my view there problems that the whole industry faces and may go some way to explaining share price weakness.

Checked to see how the Brokers reacted to the IMS yesterday.
Barclays maintained its equal weight with a tprice of 84; Investec maintained its buy but trimmed t price from 104 to 100 and Jeffries maintained its hold with 95.
I was surprised the other week it got so far into the 90's; too bad I did not act and reduce my holding.
I am happy with what I have and this is something I am happy to hold and get the almost 4% yield.

Yes looks like it will test 75p for the 5th time?

[melody9999] 06/2/2013 08:17

go along with that ej. but will it fill the gap to 90p first?

In the end I shorted today at 87.28p which looks like a good call so far

[wipo1] 05/2/2013 20:16

Back short again, the constant use of that word very challenging,tough market conditions rings alarm bells to me, target 75p

[rimmy2000] 05/2/2013 11:55

i'd rather them err on the conservative side of estimations. long term hold future is bright :)

Todays management statement has flattened all recent growth in the share price It is presumably the bit about next year being tough.

Good volume and support at 85 today,next resistence 98


Well predicted - I was sceptical about it getting so high but your prediction has proven true.

Oh I'm sure there will be plenty of turbulence before hitting 130!

Just like to see some overt support from government for anaerobic digestion facilities on a par with the support given to wind farms at present.

At present the news is about food waste, energy policy and employment. Although it's a shame that so much food waste goes to waste but I'm afraid wastage will always arise and less than half of councils even collect food waste at present. If food waste is made then at least government support could be provided to councils to turn this waste to energy and this with a national network of digestors will provide a nice slice of our energy makeup.

Jobs will be provided in every area of the country not just the south and of course the compost/liquid digestate will contribute to our peat free future.

Surely this is worthy of government support?

Why does this matter to Shanks? No council, particularly the half that don't treat food waste separetley, will be able to grant 25 year contracts without food waste being treated this way and should proove to be a lucrative area.

Mw will be an increasingly important part of Shanks annual report.

Need to be patient with this share. Look forward to next stop 115 in 3/4 months and then 130+ at the year end.

Questor of the telegraph says buy

[craigends] 14/1/2013 14:12

Well now we know -one good order - is there more. Pays to heed director buys!Let's hope so.

[akaaur] 14/1/2013 13:18

guys great tip see news on AGL, go ahead for drug in market worth 6billion mkt cap £23million

[lefrene] 14/1/2013 12:00

Explains that director buying not so long ago?

[betman] 14/1/2013 11:00

Agreed thats great news and even better not absorbing loads of shareholder capital
It this sets the trend / model for the future SKS will be in a strong position to do more of these

[0rient] 14/1/2013 07:13

Excellent news this morning...should provide a boost to the SP!

[betman] 07/1/2013 11:51

I cannot see any specific news event so believe this is about a European recovery stock which after 3 years of decline bottomed at 80p ish. It got too cheap and future prospects will be good if Europe can recover and waste prices start going up again. As ever there is always a possibility of consolidation in this industry and SKS would be a tasty morsel. Since Dec 10th looks like volumes have been more healthy so maybe the rsing price is becoming self fulfilling as this gets picked up on the radar
If anyone else any more specifics it would be great to hear

[germalene] 04/1/2013 11:45

There's nothing obvious that I can see, anyone know why there's been upward movement recently in SKS?

[wonder4] 02/1/2013 22:00

Tipped for 2013 in D Tel today

[craigends] 02/1/2013 19:29

re post 671 'commentators curse fro me' - SKS has had a stellar Decmeber rise - but attributed to what? oversold reaction to results/spooking bid talk??
Only wish I knew ?

[wad collector] 18/12/2012 21:59

98p?
Looks a bit optimistic to me on fundamentals.

[ivyhuang] 18/12/2012 16:11
