I bought recently as they seem to have so much cash they don't know what to do with it but its not yet reflecting in a greatly increased share price

Bit small for Melrose to takeover but I bet they've run a slide rule over it.

Of course its oversold. It issued a profit warning in January.

But its ripe for takeover.

A takeover price would likely be £1.45-1.50 and I expect some are or have run the slide rule over this company as the profit warning is a green light for change or a hungry predator

Despite total short positions of 4.67%,I sense this stock is oversold.You can't rely on a takeover but it's probably not a pipe dream when it comes to Spirent.Recovery or takeover,worth bottom fishing after a dire 2013 share performance.

God knows what those brokers do to justify their existence. All those 160/165 price targets with 25% upside etc etc ........

This has got to go sub 100 before I have the slightest interest again in SPT unless it becomes a bid target.

down 20% in the us.

There again,cash on the balance sheet is a great sedative...

I reckon the drop in the share price will be a surprise to the management.Disappoint this market at your peril!

[sr2day] 09/1/2014 13:41

the correction is around the corner,so expect anything.

[royalt] 09/1/2014 12:28

Its pretty obvious this stock hasn't been partaking in the bull market so to suggest it won't reach any downside figure, let alone 60p "in the current bull market" is a tad optimistic!!

lol!

Order book looks solid plus a dividend payout, selling today overdone in my opinion.

[bulltradept] 09/1/2014 11:44

Not sure you'll get that, especially in the current bull market..

[sr2day] 09/1/2014 11:20

chart looks awful,60p looks a real possibility in the coming months.

[bulltradept] 09/1/2014 11:11

It's hit the long term fib and so far it's held.

[sg1972] 09/1/2014 09:19

I think it's been over done. They announced results will be at lower end, with some changes made to improve things, and?? Does the justify the big drop?

[salpara111] 09/1/2014 08:38

That was a close one! I was thinking that there was support at the 100 line and nearly bought...no idea where the bottom is now.
Why the hell have they been buying back their own shares wasting money when they would have known that they were going to release a negative update which called for increased capital expenditure in the business going forward.

Director buying in Dec 13 is always a positive sign, Directors putting their money where their mouths are!

It just depends how quickly they can reverse the downward trend, before the share price tend will reverse.

dream on!

[sg1972] 26/11/2013 10:14

I think the recent fall was a tree shake and for spirent to buy at low price

[kiwihope] 26/11/2013 09:49

Topped up yesterday (after missing out on CHG). Nice rise so far...

[kiwihope] 26/11/2013 09:01

There must be a greater number of other people selling...

[sg1972] 25/11/2013 22:34

So much buying from the company yet the price still falls. Very strange

[sg1972] 22/11/2013 17:04

This share price will fly, today's volume 500k, 400k was spirent buying.
