first move for quite a while!

[qs99] 28/4/2017 13:06

nice to see the buying return

[qs99] 19/4/2017 11:50

I agree, but there will be some just wanting out and small volumes will IMO affect the share price in the short-term until the fog has cleared and management can prove their business model and yield for the company. A decent increase in divi IMO would provide a good vote of confidence, OR clear guidance as of use of net cash to grow the business.....let's see..

The price of the shares has been in the range 35-40p for the last month and is at the bottom of the range now. It was 50p+ prior to the gov't budget action on QROPS in the budget.
We are on a fully diluted PE ratio of just over 9 - 35p/3.87 which is not demanding.
Looking forward there has been an increase in certain senior staff (negative) but there must be a general reduction in costs as new business development I suspect has all but dried up. The new policies must be now generating income and profits, so I would expect profits could rise strongly over the next 1 or 2 years (positive). In addition there is scope for acquisitions that are like STM in a run-off position for the next 20-25 years (positive)
There appears to be no urgent capital needs - in fact I would suspect these may fall.
I increased my holding by over 100% @ 35p just after the budget.
I believe that 50p (plus divs of up to 2p pa) is a reasonable target for the next 2 years.
It will be interesting to see whether ST of the Investors Chronicle who has tipped this share agrees.
Anybody agree or disagree with my assessment

[tsmith2] 21/3/2017 08:10

pro tem 50p is about fair value here

[tsmith2] 20/3/2017 12:49

Decent earlier buy at 42.5 reported..

[qs99] 20/3/2017 12:35

OK, but putting a dummy trade in and they want £5k of my stock at a slight premium, so that IMO appears positive....DYOR etc

[tsmith2] 20/3/2017 11:28

nothing more other than someone paid 45p, spread is awful.

[qs99] 20/3/2017 09:59

[qs99] 20/3/2017 09:40

[tsmith2] 17/3/2017 17:49

Have u a link?

[qs99] 14/3/2017 11:24

Just read Fincaps article, and they seem pretty upbeat....implication of accretive deals IMO to use cash pile and boost earnings....and then it believes its growth rating will return.....DYOR and will be interesting to read ST's article if he provides an update on this...

hope all is well Riv
cheers

This new article from Investors Champion is worth a read for holders re not only the effect on QROPS of the Budget changes, but also certain other accounting issues:
