This chart is looking miserable - another one of my lemons to sit and wait a long time over.

[craigends] 22/5/2012 13:43

whoa - falling in rising markets bad news - what's going on behind scenes - results NOT that bad surely!?

[wipo1] 17/5/2012 22:17

Gswredland - Yeah i think Biffa's problems sending shockwaves through the sector and general market sentiment is not good.

After reading the statment, the use of that word 'Challenging' puts me off for now,could be worth a punt for a small amount like 2000 shares or so incase a bid re-surfaces?

[art cm2] 17/5/2012 16:01

The P.E firm that offered 1.35 and got rejected some time back .... wonder if that offer would get rejected now?

with ref to post number 400

[gswredland] 17/5/2012 15:22

me neither wip. with the way things are these call fall much further imo

[wipo1] 17/5/2012 13:33

Results not bad, p.e 11.5...I am not rushing to buy in though

[jrr774] 15/5/2012 22:03

Surely this has further to fall - 75% of their business is in the Benelux nations.

[gswredland] 15/5/2012 18:03

chart looks nasty!

[craigends] 11/5/2012 14:22

SP seems to suggest bottomed out- holding in falling market.

[philanderer] 02/5/2012 16:04

New one to me .... Kempen & Co say 'buy' with a 150p target.

[wad collector] 18/4/2012 20:25

How can a share price target (that is 15 % higher than its current share price ) be anything but a Buy recommendation?
Or are they recommending sell a share for 95p that they think will soon be worth 109p?
Typical broker.

[philanderer] 17/4/2012 11:53

Downgrade by Barclays Capital today

17th april Barcap overweight/neutral... tp = 109p

Agreed, shares reasonably priced company has some qualities of a utility and there is always the possibility of a bid.

Thanks, A0148009. :-)

A good and fair summary, I'd say.

No surprises in the trading statement , challenging economy and Wakefield progressing.

one broker so far unchanged

4th april Peel Hunt 'buy' tp 126p

[philanderer] 03/4/2012 15:24

Sorry betman, that`s all the info I had.

[betman] 03/4/2012 13:47

phil - is there any more commentary from Jefferies on their TP, I find when a broker just plucks a number out of the air I cannot give it much credability

I find the SSE deal very comforting as it suggests that SSE see SKS as a good long term player ( 25 year contract ). The disappointing aspect is the lack of share price response, either these are seriously unloved shares or the MMs are doing a magnificent job at keeping the price down for a buyer(s)

That FT article on BIFFA mentioned by Cerrito is worth a read.

If you hit the FT paywall you can get round it by typing the headline into google and accessing that way.

"Biffa for sale as high debt takes toll"

[philanderer] 02/4/2012 12:39

2nd april Jefferies 'buy' tp = 133p

reiterates.

[alynch] 02/4/2012 08:46

Looks like a good deal made today.

[cerrito] 01/4/2012 11:30

This is the FT take on the Biffa story which suggests that debt and BIFFA specific issues

[praipus] 28/3/2012 16:07

Many thanks.

[philanderer] 28/3/2012 15:19

No problem Praipus.
