Featured as one of Investors Chronicle's Tips of the Week today.



EDIT - sorry forgot to paste their summary, cant pring whole article -

IC VIEW:
Subdued trading in the energy sector has been far outweighed by success in every other part of SThree's operations. Overall, gross profit grew 13 per cent during the third quarter. Consensus analyst forecasts had been for 2015 pre-tax profit of £36.7m, when SThree released its update in September. This would have represented a 53 per cent increase on 2014. However, management now expect pre-tax profit to surpass market expectations. The forward PE puts a low value on such strong growth and the dividend yield is a further lure. We think investors should buy SThree's high-growth prospects at a discounted price.

Last IC view: Buy, 380p, 13 Jul 2015

Lovely bounce
Back towards 400p

Good update this morning in fact I think the most positive since GE took the helm, and predicting an 'exceed market expectations' for the FY, nice.

This is doing well to ride out the storms hitting the FTSE this month. Although clear resistance on the charts can it punch through over 400?

Stifel have a Buy out on STHR today:

Following last week's trading update for H1 (to 31 May), we've worked through the detail of our model. We are making no changes to our P&L estimates down to PBT. The mix of the business to higher tax jurisdictions causes us to raise our tax rate and we've reviewed our diluted number of shares. EPS moves lower by a high single digit percentage. We view estimate risk to the upside. Our target price is unchanged as we factor in the strength of underlying trading which is mitigating the impact of reduced oil and gas upstream revenues. As ever, In our view, SThree continues to show exceptional agility to shift its focus to the highest potential niches.

Agree - nearly hit the intraday resistance. Looking firm - shame I traded out :-(

I.C. today

Overseas growth adds up for SThree
It was the strength of the higher-margin contract business that drove gross profits up 18 per cent for recruiter SThree (STHR) last year. The division, which places highly skilled individuals in project-based roles, now accounts for 61 per cent of gross profit – up from 56 per cent in 2012-13.
The group’s restructure, which involved rationalising “sub-scaleR21; operations in India and Brazil and expanding in the US, also seems to be paying off. Gross profit in the Americas was up by almost three-quarters year on year, with much of the growth coming from the US. The recruiter is doubling its office space in the country, including new offices in New York and San Francisco.
Headcount increased by 12 per cent on the back of sales growth in 2014. Chief financial officer Alex Edelman said the group plans to continue growing staff numbers within its contract business, but will focus on increasing productivity within its permanent recruitment business. Here, growth in gross profit – a measure of underlying sales for recruiters – picked up 6 per cent for the 12-month period.
Broker UBS expects adjusted EPS of 19.4p this year, up from 15.3p in 2013-14.
E SThree’s expansion in the US – the biggest market for some of its recruitment specialisms, which include life sciences and finance – looks sensible. The shares have derated over the past year and now trade on around 17 times this year’s earnings. They are yielding noticeably more than peers. We upgrade to a buy. EP
Buy

"Now where's the next reasonably sound bottomed out stock ?..."


FOXT ?

Net cash, paying a good divi.

Got a bit of luck with my timing here - was looking for a home for cash in some dividend stocks and looks like might get some capital growth as well in recovery phase.

Now where's the next reasonably sound bottomed out stock ?...

STHREE PLC (STHR.LN) is doubling its office space in many of its key U.S. locations to take advantage of good growth opportunities in the country. The staffing firm is doubling its office space in New York, Boston, Houston and San Francisco.
At 1415 GMT, shares were up 5.0 pence, or 1.5%, at 336.75 pence.

[cockneyrebel] 26/1/2015 08:17

Rather good results - think these will build throughout the day imo.

CR

[yump] 25/1/2015 20:56

That was a big jump on Friday - presumably bit of a stock shortage caused by a load of buys appearing on the same day.

[paleje] 23/1/2015 08:21

Liberum reiterated buy this morning target 475.
Other pre-xmas buys Jeffries 370, C/Suisse 360, Numis 534.

[cestnous] 21/1/2015 16:02

Just bought in. Maybe should have waited for results but all the pointers suggest that they should be good. Hey ho....

[cockneyrebel] 20/1/2015 09:21

Results are on Monday by the way

I wouldn't call it a bowl yet but I like the recent trend on the chart.

Nice bowl on HAS which has been saying good things about recruitment recently too imo.
