Speedy Hire Share Discussion Threads

[salpara111] 11/9/2015 15:06

I struggle to understand why both HSS and Speedy are doing so badly considering the economy is growing at quite a healthy rate and here in London the skyline is almost totally obscured with tower cranes.

low 20s by update or less?

[american idiot] 11/9/2015 11:11

Agree BertieBee...

It will be a good investment buy once current issues have been resolved.

Still a couple of weeks before a trade update.

Shareprice in serious decline now.

Down 10% just today. (after recent sharp declines)

[american idiot] 11/9/2015 09:47

Still in decline...

Still a potential profit warning to come...

[american idiot] 10/9/2015 15:29

Shareprice still in freefall...

and we still have an update of current trading to come !

I'll be bold and say the shareprice will hit 30p or less in the coming weeks.

Recent HSS Hire Group

Current Trading and Outlook


-- Expect to continue growing market share
through H2, despite variable market conditions
- while July was in line with management
expectations, trading has been softer
in August
-- 2015 revenue growth (full year) is now
expected to be in the range 8 - 11% and
earnings for the full year now expected
to be below current market expectations

..........

I fully expect a profit warning to come from Speedy in the near future. Judging by the shareprice so does the market.

Everybody knows profit warnings always come in 3's

If and u think this May be happening shorters get a hold here it's going to be very hard to recover at all.
Been watching since the big drop looking for a point of entry, not been one and with possible warnings to come?
IMHO.

Given the future growth in building in the UK, if Speedy can divest itself of the overseas part that's not doing well, get in some new capable management - easier said than done - and just keep on running the UK show, but more efficiently and user friendly, then before too long, it'll be time to buy more: subject to no nasty surprises in the next few months, so I'm holding back for now.

Sorry for o/t (i dont hold here but do pop in from time to time) i was very interested to see post no 4750 as Aberdare, and post no 4751 as llwyd, being the shortend name of Llwydcoed which in fact is a village in Aberdare!!!!!! fwiw i know the two watering holes in the village very well!!!!

[american idiot] 02/7/2015 14:43

More profit warnings to come first.

They nearly always come in three's.

Its gonna take a little patience and time here for the business to be set back on the right course.

Good investment though at the right price.

Director buys. 80 k and 150 k

[andrewbaker] 01/7/2015 14:43

SDY is a sound business, so the price will work back up in time, but I should maybe have sold prior as a result of seeing the share price meandering and going nowhere. Hindsight, I know; but a lesson learned.

Not if shorters get hold of this, they can desimate the sp

AndrewBaker - If you were to go by purely by historic reactions to big drops, they have tended to bounce back.

[andrewbaker] 01/7/2015 12:01

Just looked at trading yesterday and first thing today: some unusually large big sales around 3:45pm yesterday, and first thing today. Can't believe they were purely coincidental!

On further reflection: buying more when the dust has settled may be an option.. Certainly for those thinking of buying but who had not yet committed, once they've reviewed their position in the light of current knowledge, buying now could be a good thing, which logically means buying more now would be equally good. But we're all human: taking a risk of being bitten twice - three times, if you were hit by the fall in March last year - is not everyone's cup of tea.

[andrewbaker] 01/7/2015 11:46

Gutted! I've been a holder for several years, and sold half when price doubled, so was in for free; and I should have done it again, as the price had doubled again from my average buying price, but I didn't. So, I'm still 52.5% up, but took my eye off the ball, and paid the price.

The only obvious sign, unless one anally examines every holding every day, was a flat share price chart over the past six months. In hindsight, that should have made a sell consideration purely on the basis that a top had been reached that was providing much stronger resistance than the bottom support. Hindsight a wonderful thing, lol. :(

The likelihood is that the drop has been overdone, so a small price recovery should happen as bargain hunters sniff and some buy; and maybe there may be a bid at a decent premium, though that is purely speculative. They are in the right business area for economic recovery, so trading should be alright going forward, especially if they are properly tackling supply, administrative, and logistical issues; so I'm not going to rush to sell, but I will be quicker in future to take profits on smaller companies, and also to get out when a share price meanders for no known good reason.

We live and learn.

HSS had the same fall yesterday it's a sector issue 6months from January construction was way way down.

Celeritas agree, not a hint in that Chairman's statement, in fact the absolute opposite.
Feel like a Mug Punter this morning.
