SIG (shi) from Ample site.

Midweek also sees results from SIG (SHI).

At its full-year update, the company indicated that underlying pre-tax profits would be marginally above analysts' expectations, with Bloomberg's upper end of range at £80.4 million.

Relatively benign weather boosted revenue up 8% to about £2.74 billion while gross margin was maintained. By region, mainland Europe revenue was up 11%. France remains the company's strongest market. UK increased 4%, while Ireland slipped 1%.

Following recent disposals the group now has three core markets - insulation and energy management, interior fit out and roofing.

Shares in the company are trading on a 2012 PE ratio of between 10 and 11 times.

Panmure Gordon has a 'buy' rating on the stock. Analyst Andy Brown states: "The recent stabilisation of trading should help sentiment towards the shares improve. It retains structural growth drivers, principally through insulation, and with the strengthened balance sheet we retain our positive stance."

SIG (shi)

Tecnicaly the stock is very solid
in a uptrend channel with lower indicators
pointing to more upside.

[mechanical trader] 02/3/2012 14:54

Company will also benefit from government
pushed/led initiative of insulation for
private and landlord owned homes.

British Gas very active at the moment on this.

SHI SIG GROUP

Gone long here, this morning.
Chart looking very sound fundys
are solid and results 14th of march.
Could have a good run up to them.

138p first share price target.

[neg] 20/2/2012 13:41

No one interested in this breakout on the chart. Very quiet BB, which is encouraging for future price appreciation.

[pugugly] 25/11/2011 11:03

Looks as this may close below the placing price -

In the current market this will (imo) remove a major support level which combined with the tightening economy and downturn in housing and commercial construction could leave the SP> in free fall (or am I wrong - If so why ?)
