Yes, it's looking a bit perky!

[chrisdgb] 05/1/2023 09:38

Having a nice little run at the moment......

[chrisdgb] 22/12/2022 08:33

It has long been linked to be a takeover candidate, maybe 2023 will finally seal the deal........

[ianood] 09/12/2022 16:50

Cheap for starters!

[cfro] 09/12/2022 09:12

If i may so rudely interrupt here, im intrigued to know why a few of you here are convinced that Smith and Nephew will likely be taken over?

[chrisdgb] 09/12/2022 08:23

Still hoping for the knockout bid here.......

Questor column has consistently recommended this stock , first as a buy, then a hold and no doubt it will be a sell before long after years of underperformance.

Thanks Cerrito that’s interesting. Can the customer afford to pay - I think we’ll see a lot of that. But I suppose if I had a medical problem I would somehow find the money to sort it.

As a SN. holder I listened to most of the recording of yesterday's webcast.
Alot of good stuff especially in logistics and optimization of inventory and US improvement but what stopped me pushing the buy button was not so much the supply shortages(especially semi conductors and resins) but rather that in the Q&A the difficulty they were having on passing on cost increases came up 2/3 times.

Seem to be following the same stocks!From the healthcare sector I've got SN on my watchlist and good to see they are in line. Some of the constraining factors (materials and staff shortages, FX headwinds) could develop into major issues but who knows.

Trading update seems ok.
Never sure what the market will think these days.

Green again on a red day............

unless share price were to move up 10% or more then v v unlikely any rns. in any case i think its a passive stake build. any offer is likely going to have to be over 15/16 quid here and its not a level the board will accept at this point. next year i think that that price will be more acceptable. not necessarily because the share price will be much lower at that time (i dont think they go much below 10 maybe to 950 but if they do then 8 is quite prob in that case) but the longer the share price is lower than the more pressure the board will be under to accept a price around 15/16. personally think its still a lot of money to pay inc of all debt so its only the americans that could be interested.

[chrisdgb] 06/9/2022 07:12

Will be interesting if this firms up in the coming days, flush a comment out...?>

[roguetraderuk] 06/9/2022 06:37

bid talk. some mention of it in the times. i noticed last week it was massively outperforming last week against weak global mkts and the volume has been spectacular the last few days. i would caution that it might just be some stake building by a fund because when it was at 12/13 quid i know some people were looking at it but with an eye to building a passive stake at 10 quid or less. eventually it think it gets done poss by the jnj arm post split, which is still some time off. but i could be wrong and given the weakness of sterling, its brought some interested parties out of the shadows.

[chrisdgb] 05/9/2022 19:34

Interesting closing action….?

[1bearbull] 25/8/2022 10:56

It cannot help in terms of investor confidence when in his first major public appearance he announces a profits warning and if I remember correctly the share fell by 10%.

[1bearbull] 25/8/2022 10:51

It is difficult to get excited when a Company has a CEO without any shareholding. Moreover, he can take up to 5 years or so to buy some. What is his incentive to get the share price up?

[philanderer] 09/8/2022 23:15

Another day, another profits warning – but here's why you should stick by Smith & Nephew

Questor share tip: after another profits warning from the medical devices company, new boss Deepak Nath will need to get a grip

HOLD

What's this blue colour all about?

[suetballs] 04/8/2022 09:41

Perhaps £10 was the bottom - hope so.
Looking a bit better today.

A Chartist would agree that the sell off has indeed been over done, as per post below. I suspect bounce will be quicker than some other stocks as we all need medical supplies, more so than once upon a time when a career as a barber was a safe bet. Covid, long hair and beards have put oau to that certainty

[csalvage] 02/8/2022 11:57

Going to start to drip feed into these can't call bottom but feel that it will bounce back again.

[suetballs] 02/8/2022 10:08

Price drop may well be over done but looks like sub £10 could be soon.
Very unloved here and I can't see a catalyst for an upturn.
Investing isn't much fun atm.
