Shearwater Share Discussion Threads

Why the big drop just before the close? The results seem perfectly good IMHO.

[sheik yerbouti] 12/12/2007 07:55

Good results and medium term growth targets upgraded.

[rik shaw] 27/11/2007 12:53

Its construction related and construction is getting hammered, but in this case completely unfairly. 5% on loan at present so looks like effect of shorting.

[law61] 27/11/2007 11:16

Why is this share dropping now ? Is it out of frustration ? Used to hold but sold out in August.

[rik shaw] 12/11/2007 18:15

Via 300p ?

[kenmill] 12/11/2007 12:42

SCSW for November gave a small update and predicted it should retest las May's 350p high

[rik shaw] 25/10/2007 20:35

If interims are good we might reach previous intraday high of 360p by Xmas. From what I hear in the construction industry all big consultants are still flat out and find it difficult to recruit enough staff. This means utilisation of staff is generally high, keeping profits buoyant.

[hitchinhoncho] 25/10/2007 18:49

Let's hope it generates fresh interest.

[rik shaw] 25/10/2007 07:19

As expected:

SCOTT WILSON GROUP PLC

PRE-CLOSE STATEMENT


Scott Wilson Group plc ("Scott Wilson" or "the Group"), the international
consultancy offering integrated professional services in the transportation,
property, environment and natural resources sectors, today issues a pre-close
statement prior to the announcement of its interim results for the 26 weeks
ending 28 October 2007, due to be announced on 12 December 2007.

During the period, the Group has continued to make strong progress. This has
been driven by ongoing high levels of demand in all our main market sectors
together with the benefits of recent acquisitions. We have also achieved further
improvements to operating margins, in particular in the International Division.

The major new project wins secured in the first half of the year have maintained
our order book at record levels and will help to sustain strong organic growth
in line with our strategic plan.

The two acquisitions made in the first half, DCL Consulting Engineers Ltd and
McLay Collier continue to perform in line with internal forecasts.

The Board is, therefore, confident of reporting interim results consistent with
current market expectations for the full year

[rik shaw] 23/10/2007 20:17

End of 1st half trading I believe is 28 Oct so might expect a trading statement in next week or so. Interim management statement was positive and I would hope to see some upward pressure on share price shortly.

SCOTT WILSON APPOINTED TO WAVERLEY RAILWAY PROJECT



Scott Wilson Group plc, the international consultancy offering integrated
professional services in the transportation, property, environment and natural
resources sectors, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed by the
Scottish Borders Council as Engineering Advisor for the Waverley Railway
Project.



The value of the contract to Scott Wilson, with the inclusion of call-off
services, is expected to be up to £9 million over the duration of the project.
Waverley Railway is expected to be opened for service in the Winter of 2011.



The role of Engineering Advisor includes the provision of multi-disciplinary
design, requirements definition, reference design and construction supervision
and work starts immediately.

The Waverley Railway Project is a 47km rail link from the existing Edinburgh
Crossrail scheme at Newcraighall to Tweedbank in the Central Borders and
includes seven new stations. The line will serve a combined population
approaching 200,000 in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian, two of only three
mainland areas in Scotland not currently served by a passenger railway. It will
provide an effective public transport link to enable residents of these areas
access to important employment, education, health and leisure opportunities.

The Waverley Railway Project is managed by a partnership comprising Scottish
Borders Council, Midlothian Council, City of Edinburgh Council and Transport
Scotland. As Engineering Advisor, Scott Wilson is one of a number of Specialist
Advisors involved in the scheme.

Geoff French, Scott Wilson Chairman, comments, 'We are pleased to be awarded
this contract win which reaffirms our reputation for delivering major
multi-disciplinary rail projects. We look forward to contributing to this
project and working closely with the partnership.'

[hitchinhoncho] 15/8/2007 18:30

A share rising substantially on no apparent news in the present turbulence, anyone any idea why.
