16/3/2006 09:10 | only a matter of time IMO as economics/political forces take their course. presumably there is a lot of value that could be created by folding some of the divisions into other specialist entities . if this stock would be say £12+ if broken up, someone will do it, one way or another. | bidman | |
15/3/2006 13:40 | The city doesnt like conglomerates - they want a break up - SMIN seem to be doing quite well as they are - 'if it aint broke then dont fix it' comes to mind ... | roodboy | |
15/3/2006 08:36 | very positive tone, but the share price falls. think people were hoping for a demerger/disposal | bidman | |

14/3/2006 12:20 | interim results on thursday. could there be a pleasant surprise like a big restructuring/ break up? eg sell john crane, spin off medical and a massive capital repayment to shareholders? surely these guys have got to come up with something | bidman | |
08/3/2006 22:55 | shame it didn't hold | cambium | |
08/3/2006 09:25 | A nice rise this morning in a falling market....Rick | spacemoggy | |

16/2/2006 14:46 | Long 965....Rick | spacemoggy | |
16/2/2006 12:17 | Smiths Group 956 up 11-1/2 Break-up speculation | cambium | |
15/2/2006 16:43 | Nice rise today. Hope we have a steady build up to the results. | penycae | |
14/2/2006 15:52 | Fall not justified. Glad to see you did O.K. with Rolls shuisky. | penycae | |
11/2/2006 09:41 | Conspiracy theory nuber whatever: run the price down then launch a bid. In today's Guardian (not yet on the website) it says that Smiths could be vulnerable to a bid from Honeywell, a US rival that is looking to beef up its aerospace division. | benson | |
10/2/2006 15:20 | P- I agree with you, and note the fall in Rolls share price after the results. Hedge fund's do tend to follow each other around, and there may have been a kind of complicit consensus here. The Aerospace sector has had a great run, and inevitably the doubters will start questioning how well Aerobus and Boeing will do this year as compared to last. I'm confident that the growth in passenger numbers will continue, particularly driven by Asian domestic and International routes. Frankly, SMIN's recent fall doesn't mean much to me because i tend to hold longer term rather than short term trade. Having said that, I'd happily use this as a buying opportunity in Rolls if it gets a similar treatment ovber the next few days. | shuisky | |
10/2/2006 14:22 | shuisky - yes I think so. This was an easy target following the sharp rise on the trading statement. It's not a "glam" stock, and can be pretty defenceless to a bear raid. When volume picks up though it tends to swing nicely. I am expecting the same pattern following the results. | penycae | |
10/2/2006 12:23 | Credit Suisse have given it an 'outperform' rating - hence the rise. Big volume today - 3 million in first hour. | benson | |
10/2/2006 09:54 | Penycae, in your opinion, is today's rise due to short covering? | shuisky | |
10/2/2006 09:05 | Totally unjustified fall in my view - so I'm in. | broadwood | |
09/2/2006 16:10 | 3.4% on loan. | penycae | |
09/2/2006 15:29 | Dont think this is just profit-taking - what profit? In a strong market this fall alarms me as it seems to be without reason. Anyone got any insight or are headed back to where we were a year ago???? | john3419 |
