Long term chart looks great, broker has a target of £11. This thread seems a little unloved though... anyone else watching?

"Operating theatres are being thrown into chaos and operations cancelled because of broken, missing or dirty surgical instruments, surgeons say.

The Royal College of Surgeons of England said it had contacted 250 doctors with most reporting problems.

The college said the problems have become worse since cleaning started to be handed over to private firms.

Morgan Stanley have upped their target weight for SYR to 1100. All good news.

[assegai] 20/11/2007 09:00

Interims out to day are very positive.

Key points are:
Revenue up 52% to £102 million.
Operating profit up 115% to £15.3 million.
Profit after taxation up 93% to £8.5 million.
Strong statement expecting good year end results.

The share price now is relatively low so well worth taking a detailed look at.

Growing markets fuel expansion
By Salamander Davoudi

Published FT: June 16 2007 03:00

Synergy Healthcare, the medical equipment sterilisation company, has seen its shares rise more than 50 per cent over the past year, driven by an expanded business model that is operating in fast-growing markets. The £181m acquisition of Isotron moved the company firmly into the sterilisation market and growth is set to come from expanding into Europe and south-east Asia. The economics of outsourcing such healthcare services is compelling as countries - including the Netherlands, France, Italy and Germany - are increasingly moving in this direction. Synergy is also investing £15m in two new facilities in Beijing and Suzhou and hopes to win business to serve manufacturers that have outsourced production to China. There has been a broad re-rating of the healthcare services sector, which has gone from trading on approximately 18 times earnings to trading on 24 times earnings. Synergy's forward order book has increased by 17 per cent to £700m. The company is trading on a forward price/earnings ratio of 22.6 for 2008, a slight discount to its peers. This is a growth stock and one that is best to hold. Shares in Synergy rose 56p yesterday to close at 858p.

The Group's principal activity is providing healthcare products and services. The Group's surgical business provides a range of support services to the operating theatre, the largest of which is the provision of decontamination services for surgical instruments. The Group provides decontamination services to the NHS. In addition the business provides wider support services including products and services to manage infection risks and capacity utilisation of operating theatres. The Group's business provides a complete service, which includes linen management, onsite distribution integrated with medical/surgical product distribution, linen management surveys and a wide range of other support services.

So what did the FT say mw?

Analysis in the FT today may explain the late rise yesterday.

[johnrxx99] 15/6/2007 15:53

I agree it is an inverse proportion, in the long run. Increase possibly helped by ceo buying, alot.

[mpjsb2] 15/6/2007 15:47

Blimey, now what's going on? I never cease to be amazed how little interest there seems to be in this excellent share compared to some of the rubbish that gets thousands of posts. Must be an inverse correlation. Happily I'm still in from about 250p.

[badtime] 10/6/2007 14:56

nice write up in the indie week ago yesterday

[johnrxx99] 10/6/2007 13:42

Not recently worst luck. They are still in the Momentum Investor portfolio.

[badtime] 09/6/2007 17:53

Anyone holding?

[mpjsb2] 19/10/2006 13:59

Hello, what's going on here then? Suddenly gone ballistic.

[ad7x4] 17/6/2006 05:18

What a great little company,

Onwards and upwards....

[holdontightuk] 11/5/2006 16:11

Are you still in these, E? They are moving very slowly and starting to look very attractive again.

News Release No. 06-13

(Vancouver, May 5, 2006) Sydney Resource Corporation (SYR: TSXV)
("Sydney" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is
undertaking a non-brokered private placement of up to 12,190,476 units
(the "Units") of the Company at a price of $0.42 per Unit for gross
proceeds of up to $5,120,000.00. Each Unit will consist of one common
share and one half of one non-transferable common share purchase
warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable into one common share
at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of two (2) years from the
date of closing. Provided that the proposed merger with Band-Ore
Resources Ltd. (BAN: TSX) announced March 30, 2006 proceeds as agreed,
the Company currently anticipates that the proceeds of this financing
would be contributed 50% to "West Timmins Gold Corporation" and 50% to
"Northern Sierra Minerals Corporation," the two companies that emerge
from the plan of arrangement. Closing of the proposed financing is not
contingent upon successful completion of the above-mentioned merger
proposal.

The share is getting some traction.
The volume is strong, and it looks as if it will soon breakout

[holdontightuk] 02/4/2006 22:27

I sold SYR at a small loss, to answer your original question. I sold because I found a company that I thought offered a better opportunity....time will tell on that.

Regards the merger with BAN, from what I can gather SYR have seen the opportunity to apply their focus and management to a territory that is lacking in both of these. They have had to pay "a price", but personally I see the move as a positive one in the longer term. To put it a different way, I most likely would NOT have sold in the first place had this deal already been announced.

I will buy them again, hopefully.
