Glad I added a few at 88p this morning having been buying at 99p on Friday. My second largest holding but retrospectively wish I had been buying more.

Results out.

"Declaring special annual dividend up 28.5% to US$0.09 per share to be paid in June to reflect freed-up cash"

Somebody is letting these go 'cheaply' again

[nico115] 21/3/2020 14:06

Don't think so Trust me they will be Tuesday

[argylerich] 21/3/2020 14:05

Last year they issued a trading update which gave the release date of a week later. Maybe the same will happen again?

[nico115] 21/3/2020 13:58

Sorry,not got a link but am fairly certain they are on Tuesday

[argylerich] 21/3/2020 13:22

Been trying to find a confirmation of which day the results are out, sorry have you got a link please Nico?

[nico115] 21/3/2020 12:30

The results Tuesday will be excellent imo but irrelevant except for the divi and cash balances which support a buyback I'm sure the game changers are delayed and I'm happy to wait and be patient As long as the 4m -5m PBT is maintained this is still a good share to ownDon't forget we are in a crash and indices can halve again so get rid of those leveraged positions on margin so you don't get stopped out at the levels you should be buying .Stay safe ,please please only leave the house in absolute emergencies (for food and chemist ) This virus is more serious than most think

In the last trading update - interim results - they were confident of meeting forecasts to the year end. Currently there is no reason to believe that they won't.

They appear to have some good relationships with G7 banks etc too which must help secure future contracts and therefore earnings and revenues.

I just don't know whether it is possible that some of these potential new contract wins might be deferred into next year?
Given the current dire economic situation we all now face this is one scenario we have to consider.

Bit of a slow way to do it , I think they need some help!!

[fft] 19/3/2020 09:34

Wonder why de la rue (dlar) is doing so well ? Up 10% today. Despite debt and other issues. Compare and contrast with SPSY....

[nico115] 18/3/2020 12:06

On forecast divi this yields 8pct and we have enough cash to buy back 10pct of our shares here easily World has gone crazy !!

[horndean eagle] 18/3/2020 12:05

SPSY stuffed with cash unlike KAPE. Imagine printing presses less busy than normal but shouldn't really affect SPSY given minimum contacted volumes. I guess dividend could be at risk but wouldn't mind so much if diverted into buybacks instead. Feel we got away lightly with egging them on to do buybacks before. Hopefully they might have had some interest in Aeris in the meantime.

The way the pound is falling our profits in dollars will be in pounds ?

[nico115] 17/3/2020 23:29

The figs are irrelevant !!

[fozzie] 17/3/2020 23:14

I had to open my big mouth this morning, apologies one and all. The results had better be good. Kape had good results this morning, even said unaffected by Covid19, shares up initially then in came the sells and the shorters and drove it back down. Well done boys buying more here. Big stimulus coming from UK and US governments so after a rally in the US tonight dare we hope for a blue day tomorrow. Gla

[nico115] 17/3/2020 21:09

Mkt cap is 28m ex cash Crazy Unless the virus means society will never use cash again ??!!

[nico115] 17/3/2020 19:10

86 not 126 : )

[nico115] 17/3/2020 19:10

And I bought 12k at 126 Nice yield on them at 1.20 cable !!Well done Horndean Must say never saw this down here but Margin selling across the board

[horndean eagle] 17/3/2020 15:50

done my bit. 25k at 88.5p. hopefully i can persuade nabil to buy them off me at 140 next week. they should be hoovering up once they are out of closed period. sterling heading through the floor of late so divi should be higher that it would have been otherwise.

[freddie ferret] 17/3/2020 15:20

Dow has bounced.

[sonofbanjosinger] 17/3/2020 15:18

Yep if someone wants to give them away.

[freddie ferret] 17/3/2020 15:02

Feel like knife catching?
