not impressed by the full year results too much writedown of intangibles and restucturing charges plus vulnerabe to china virus issues sold out AT 29.10 FOR A NICE PROFIT

[gilesy] 16/7/2019 10:54

topped up today at 26.89 for a long term hold good company with a lot of potential

FWIW ..... The IC likes. "Project Uplift looks set to deliver the operational efficiencies that the business has been crying out for. At 15 times forward earnings, Spectris is trading at a discount to most of its competitors and a three-year historical average ratio of 17. Buy" As ever obsessed with historical ratios.

Pretty good update I would have said - oh there's a tumbleweed.

Who is Andrew Heath going to sell this mish mash to ? Don't see much upside

[iaincc] 24/7/2018 14:11

Must be worth £10 - £15

[sharw] 19/2/2018 18:14

Excellent results today - presentation webcast at: hTtp://www.spectris.com/investors/reports-results-and-presentations/2018

Nice little £400k vote of confidence from the incoming chairman. One of the most overlooked shares - only one previous comment this year!

chart suggests it is turning !

REDS, remarkable recovery story not yet well known. Trading update 5th September. REDS provides software applications for smart buildings and counts pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline and real estate player Meyer Bergman among its customers. Constant flow of new contracts with large multinationals. They got recently a 12 million contract with UBS which represented 50% of REDS' market capital! UBS have 700 more branches needing possibly the same service. New CEO Mark Braund very positive and invested his own money along with the financial director. Mark is a specialist in turning around struggling companies. He has already done it with REDS in less than a year. http://uk.advfn.com/stock-market/london/redstoneconnect-plc-REDS/share-price?java=1 http://uk.advfn.com/news/share/LSE%3AREDS hxxp://www.channelweb.co.uk/crn-uk/news/2451217/redstone-shrugging-off-baggage-of-the-past-with-connect-ib-deal

This thread is the only one showing charts. Can't understand why it was ever superceded. Recent TS said: "Reported sales increased by 2% in the period. Acquisitions contributed 2% points of sales growth, foreign currency exchange movements positively impacted growth by 4% points, whilst Group like-for-like(1) ('LFL') sales declined by 4%. Regionally, LFL sales grew by 2% in Asia Pacific, whilst sales to North America, Europe and Rest of the World declined by 4%, 8% and 11% respectively." Price has fallen sharply, but that offers perhaps good value now.

Quiet board = good sign imo sssssssh

[nehpets81] 22/2/2016 13:41

Hmm this is a really quiet board. SXS seems like a strong, quality company with a solid balance sheet good cash generation but on the other hand I feel these shares are a bit of a punt on the US industrial market which seems a bit risky to me - imo the shares look a bit expensive after this recent rally.

[telbap] 31/7/2015 08:29

They were right

[linhur] 03/6/2015 18:24

UBS says downgrade to sell with target of 2000p. Probably due to margin pressure from strong dollar

[telbap] 20/3/2015 07:23

Looking good to push through 23 today...

[telbap] 16/3/2015 16:55

Huge rises here, and no one posting..well holding a sb from 2220, looking for 2400 for short term exit.
