Tomkins Plc Share Discussion Threads

Errrrrm.........Osmond, their dividend history was 'consistently' flat at 12p for the 4 years 2001-2004, rising to 12.6p in the year to 1/1/05 covered only 1.8 times. Why does that make them 'under-rated'?

Regards, Ian

This stock is under rated - just look at their consistent dividend history

Competitors quitting should be a good thing for Tomkins as there will be less companies bidding for work.

Is Tomkins share price not at risk because of the marked downturn in the US manufacturing car market with several component suppliers calling it a day? Tomkins have a considerable interest in the automotive components business with their powertrain, fluid and wiper systems and other automotive products for which they are a major supplier to the American market.

just seen a new thread with charts

[scallywagkid] 12/10/2005 15:20

This thing's being hammered. Aside from XD, does anyone know why?

[jlabrey] 07/9/2005 21:19

Absolutely. Tomkins is making good progress and investing heavily in growth markets and new technology. The 4% + yield adds to the attraction. It's the Gillette of the auto sector.

I bought in at 250 for my HYP. You're not totally alone here :)

Nobody seems interested in Tomkins - no comments on recent results. It looks like it is making another attempt to break £3.

Broker upgrade today.

[jlabrey] 21/5/2005 18:34

What did everyone make of the results?

[echo64] 05/5/2005 09:00

I'm no chartist but looks worth a punt, good dividend at this price too. missed the 240 though.

[iangill] 28/4/2005 16:01

SP has not been below 240 for nearly 2 years, are they going lower or is this a good time to buy in? any chartists out there with a view.

[mujahid2] 02/3/2005 14:50

time to buy 10k :) £3

[tompion] 23/2/2005 21:56

Tomkins share price did pretty well today given its exposure to US and the 170 point drop in the Dow on Tuesday. Hopefully it will move up again over the next few days and get above £3.

[tompion] 22/2/2005 19:40

Evening Standard said this evening that results were due tomorrow and Investec were rating them a buy aheado the results which they expected to be good.

[mujahid2] 22/2/2005 10:22

my tip buy quick results 28th feb will reach 320p

Just noticed this thread. Have had a few deals on this one over the years.
If you add a couple of charts say daily and 6months it would be more useful.
Thanks for reminding me.

[5bertie] 07/2/2005 21:23

To Tompion
Thanks for your observation. Much appreciated.
Have a look at MAN group, you might fancy it. A lot of upside, I think.
Gone long on it myself, about 48 in the money.
Kind regards

[tompion] 07/2/2005 17:12

Hmm - nice chart - nice move today. Not sure about 320 but it would be nice.

[5bertie] 06/2/2005 15:28

Anybody out there? Tomkins predicted to go to 320 soon, not my words, rumour
in the market! Tompion any ideas? Let me know.
Kind regards,
5Bertie

Tomkins chart looking good - seems to be breaking out of its downward trend - hopefully heading up to test the 3 quid level ahead of the results.

[iangill] 28/1/2005 09:56

Analysts are always quick to point out the downside of a weak dollar, ie converting profits back to sterling reduces profit for same sales.
However, low dollar reduces costs of exports and increases sales and after a sustained period, market share as other weaker players drop out of the market.
This approach requires patience but will surely pay off for Tomkins long term.
