Synectics Share Discussion Threads

[kombimatec] 27/9/2013 09:15

This is my all time favourite stock, held for many years. Originally invested in Protec before the business became better run when it was taken over to become Quadnetics and later Synectics. I now hold them in my SIPP and directly. I have taken profits along the way but only buying & selling between me and my housemate. I can't imagine a portfolio without them. Now Africa has experienced again the tragic recent events this must be a big new market for SNX.

I traded this once but second time around put it into my SIPP to resist taking a short term profit; has worked on MONI so far.

Hi. I am new to this board, and I am glad to have researched this company, and I will certainly be looking for an entry point.

Low Prospective PEG and EPS ratings, 4 years and 2 years consecutive growth in EPS, low net gearing, Operating Cash Flow Per Share is higher than Earnings.

It is also currently beating the AIM-All Share and Support Sector in relative strengths. Continuing to win major contracts, and positive outlook from the chairman.

A very well run company.

530p for modest forward p/e of 14, still low peg.

new high ;)

[philo124] 29/8/2013 10:25

Well bid for this am. apparently.

[philo124] 16/8/2013 16:15

Good, continue to hold.

[kombimatec] 16/8/2013 16:08

Still in demand

[kombimatec] 06/8/2013 19:21

One of the shares that should benefit from ISA's accepting AIM shares.

[philo124] 06/8/2013 16:54

Good move.

[philo124] 02/8/2013 16:13

Thanks a lot.

In my opinion this is a strong performing growing company operating in all the important markets with security moving to the top of all government and commercial agendas. The order book has thinned a little but by only a small margin. Happy to hold and enjoy the higher dividend.

I see nothing wrong with the share price reaction, just a bit of profit-taking after a good run up to the results, it's still higher than it was 2-3 weeks ago.

[jamielein] 24/7/2013 09:03

I decided to sell my small holding just to be safe. Don't like the share price reaction and there are other, better things to be in right now.

Good Luck to all holders though. I may be back in on future statements.

Regards,
Jamie

Oh dear, what have I started?

All I can say is that there were no caveats in the AGM statement on 01-May-13. Now there are caveats.

[valhamos] 24/7/2013 08:40

Shanklin - I don't read it like that at all.

"Current indications are that Synectics will produce a further strong performance in the second half." If thay had meant to say the risk is more to the downside, then they would have written something completely different.

[shanklin] 24/7/2013 08:30

I'm not criticising SNX. They certainly seem to be doing far better than IND.

I just think the caveats in the outlook statement with respect to both project execution risk and conversion of their sales pipeline mean that in terms of achieving broker estimates the risk is more to the downside than the upside.

[dasv] 24/7/2013 07:48

Shanklin - if you are referring to execution risk on the complex project then I think it's right of them to highlight this to the market.

Overall seriously good profit growth on a lowly price to sales valuation.

[shanklin] 24/7/2013 07:34

Is that a warning of a warning in the "Outlook" section? Looks like a great deal of potential for them to say they missed and we told you that might happen.

[ryandj2222] 24/7/2013 07:20

Seem to be on track, interim div up by 20% (2.5 p to 3.0 p)

[ryandj2222] 23/7/2013 11:18

Some interim results out tomorrow.
