KGP news today is positive and should apply here as well"The Group's trading outlook for the second quarter is positive with ongoing strong momentum across most key markets. Furthermore, raw material inflation, and indeed availability of same, is increasingly a challenge and we are doing our utmost to limit any impact on our own end markets. We have a strong backlog on hand which augurs well for the period ahead although in the current environment we are cautious about looking too far forward."Should help our share price momentum

SHI perhaps benefiting from TPK's (Travis Perkins) Q1 TU today: "The Group has enjoyed an encouraging start to the year with robust like-for-like sales growth across our businesses, underpinned by strong demand in the RMI market." Positive start to 2021 driven by strong RMI demand with Group (excluding Wickes) like-for-like sales growth of 17.4% and 11.8% on a 2 year like-for-like basis Good like-for-like growth in Merchanting and P&H, up 15.5% and 11.4% respectively, underpinned by sales retention from the 2020 restructuring programme

Builders full of joys of spring but prices rise Building activity rose last month at the fastest pace in six and a half years as workloads increased and stalled projects were restarted. The March purchasing managers’ index for construction easily beat expectations, jumping to 61.7 from 53.3 in February, its highest reading since September 2014 and above forecasts for 54.6. Readings above 50 indicate growth.......... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/builders-full-of-joys-of-spring-but-prices-rise-25qbf90dh?shareToken=107c22a6ca6573df8ac538b364af1ea4

Wait for Q1 news...

thanks Ham3 and the Count looking bullish going forward subject to covid

--->HAMHAMHAM1 Jeffries give some of the most miserly targets in the years I have followed broker upgrades closely. Will be interesting to see what other brokers come up with, especially after the analyst presentations earlier today. They are joint house broker with Peel Hunt. Let's see what Peels have to say about it. Regards, THE COUNT!

-------- JEFFERIES RAISES SIG PRICE TARGET TO 41.70 (37.60) PENCE - 'HOLD' --------

--->ALL I knew there would be a bit of a sell off after looking at the announcement. I don't usually trade short term, but I actually got it right for once. Sold out at just a touch short of 40p and bought all back, and some more as low as 36.77p. I listened in on the results presentation this morning along with the Q&A. They sounded very positive that all was on track. In fact, it sounded very promising for the next 12 to 18 months IMHO. The results along with the accompanying presentation that we were given can be found on the company website now. hxxps://www.sigplc.com/investors/reports-and-presentations They also added that order books in the UK were now 'bulging' and 'well ahead of sales'. Also mentioned that trading (here in the UK?) had picked up quite markedly since mid February. Definitely a strong recovery stock now unless we have another wave of Covid lock downs. Regards, THE COUNT!

[hamhamham1] 25/3/2021 13:23

Yeah, I look at my investment in months and years, not hours and days. Look at the 5 and 10 yr charts, plenty of scope for substantial rises.

[napoleon 14th] 25/3/2021 08:29

I bought these mainly in June '20 on the basis of a 3 year LTBH. These results are merely step one, and their plan is on well course. It won't set the share price alight, so traders move on.

--->ALL This has been about steadying the ship, and then returning the company to growth. "I am delighted that due to our Return to Growth strategy we delivered a solid second half and have begun to return the business to growth after a long period of decline." The business has been in decline from before Covid. Looks as if things are turning around. They have also stated...'Return to profitability and cash generation expected in H2'. No surprises and looks as if things are stabilising now. Regards, THE COUNT!

[hamhamham1] 25/3/2021 07:42

Yeah, am happy with them, no surprises. Hopefully well received, upwards and onwards over next couple of years.

[heatseek77] 25/3/2021 07:37

Better than expected SF got us back on track

[zho] 25/3/2021 07:10

Results look okay on basis of quick look. Revenues of £1,873 million as per January TU, but operating losses of £53.3m better than January's prediction of £57-£61 million. Steve Francis: "I am delighted that due to our Return to Growth strategy we delivered a solid second half and have begun to return the business to growth after a long period of decline".

Cheers juggler must have got mixed up - looks like some American tramps are shorting or selling, every day around 2 we have dropped / got knocked back- getting tedious now, was hoping to push back to 41 before Tomorrow

[the juggler] 24/3/2021 10:05

Eringael - the results are tomorrow (Thursday)! Fingers crossed for an uplift.

[eringael] 23/3/2021 15:53

Tough week in markets to be announcing results, hopefully we pop back above 40 and get some positive movement heading to Friday
