loads of buys coming in.

[scottishfield] 16/5/2013 09:17

nothing wrong with that statement imo, good stuff, may pick up a few more.

[cockneyrebel] 16/5/2013 07:41

In line with what they said at year end results imo.

They said then things will remain tough but they are going to make this up and more with better margins and working smarter under the new CEO as they said at the results too.

The pick up since April zilch to do with the weather imo (it has been wet and freezing) it's the pick up in house building imo - as shown by builder shares.

All imo.dyor etc.

Cold weather restrained sales in 1st quarter-continue to take over smaller companies but general market conditions improving to more normal times in April/May.

[scottishfield] 14/5/2013 23:07

Buyers getting in late doors - broker comments get forgotten in a day or two imo.

Just looking fwd to the results next week myself.

As debt is gradually eliminated this company with its quality income stream is a dead cert for a leveraged buyout,hence the very strong support for its shareswhich in any case are firm on strong recovery prospects.

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2013 08:15

Big buying of the pull back.

CR

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2013 08:12

I just got more on that dip - always very illiquid at the open - I'll follow the CEO myself.

Result soon, let's see.

[montyville2] 10/5/2013 08:04

Why the sudden drop? Ideas anyone?

[cockneyrebel] 10/5/2013 08:04

JP Morgan note - underweight from neutral - well they were never positive to start with, nice attempt by them to halt a break out.

CEO seems to disagree - he bought 110k just before the closed period.

Wonder who knows the co best?

[cockneyrebel] 09/5/2013 16:12

Starting to motor - these haven't half risen fast in the past - part of the joy of holding imo.

CR

[badtime] 09/5/2013 15:59

I had changed mind and topped up on tuesday

[cockneyrebel] 09/5/2013 11:47

New recent high on an intraday basis - a 4 year high :-)

Trading update a week today - they said this at the results:



Commenting on the results and outlook, Stuart Mitchell, Chief Executive, said:
"SIG delivered a resilient performance in 2012, despite significant headwinds. We maintained profitability and met our key objective of increasing ROCE above the Group's weighted average cost of capital.
"My initial impressions of the business are very positive - SIG has a strong management team, leading positions in its markets and a clear strategy to take the business forward. While this provides a firm foundation on which to build, I believe there is further potential in the Group, with opportunities to improve performance in areas such as procurement, ecommerce, supply chain logistics and rebranding. I am confident that we can drive significant improvements in ROCE, even in flat markets, with additional upside to come from eventual market recovery.
"Although sales per day in constant currency for the first two months were slightly down compared to prior year, poor weather and a strong January comparator make it difficult to discern underlying trading patterns.
"Our outlook for 2013 remains unchanged from our trading statement in January. We expect construction markets to remain challenging and likely to decline at a similar rate to 2012. Against this background, and building on recent performance, SIG expects to make further progress by continuing to focus on sales outperformance, gross margin enhancement and improved operational efficiency."
