glassdoor PMSL - shorting lol

Always worth reading what employees say about their company on Glassdoor.co.uk

The employees at Ultra seem quite unhappy and that's a bad sign for any company.

This is what I love about overreaction news. Gives a fantastic entry point. Like PFC the news is absorbed over a day then normal service resumes. Expect good rise from here

[eastbourne1982] 19/4/2018 10:04

The PFC enquiry seemed far bigger than this one sounds.

On the face of it this seems quite minor.

Yes Dendria and as a PFC holder I can assure you it won't be a quick fix and will hang over the company like a hammer until resolved. I hope also that the fall in share price won't get bigger as it also did with PFC when the pessimists start suggesting how big the fine, if there is one, might be. How come it only seems to be UK companies that get hit with these enquiries? We all know the way business works in these foreign countries, yet U.K. Corporations are supposed to ignore that and be goody goody boys and girls. Talk about the UK shoots itself in the foot. I'm not a holder but good luck all anyway.

Just when things were starting to look up we get a SFO enquiry...

[redips2] 08/3/2018 14:18

Well..... 8.6% rise as I type..... nice to see the rise .

[tsmith2] 05/3/2018 19:31

But back has started in earnest

[tsmith2] 05/3/2018 09:36

Expecting gap up..

[tsmith2] 05/3/2018 09:34

FCF, share buy back prog, divi up, modest PE ratio - looks attractive to me

[eastbourne1982] 05/3/2018 09:18

tsmith2,

My comments are directed at bookbroker.

[eastbourne1982] 05/3/2018 09:18

Debt is still down, the fund raising clearly played a big part however so what ? Cash flow was also decent.

Share price is down 40% from where it was a year ago, to me this offers good value at these prices, what is your position ?

[tsmith2] 05/3/2018 09:16

it's a shame for you company is throwing off £75-100mn free cash flow..

[eastbourne1982] 05/3/2018 09:13

Have you ignored the stuff about US spending on defence ?

[bookbroker] 05/3/2018 09:12

Debt is down partly because of that fund raising, which they are now going to use to buy back the stock, smoke and mirrors, debt will then rise!

[bookbroker] 05/3/2018 09:10

Is it, the order book will see them through 2018, and then what!

[eastbourne1982] 05/3/2018 09:10

I bought more this morning at just over £12, my average is now around £13.40.

The drop today is ridiculous, trading is in line, takeover of Sparton has been aborted (which I actually think is good news), debt is down significantly and a share buy back will commence when the share price seems low.

Surely this must be a takeover candidate now.

[tsmith2] 05/3/2018 09:01

Is £13 base, this looks v cheap on fundamentals

[redips2] 01/3/2018 11:09

Could eventually close the gap at this rate .

[dendria] 28/2/2018 18:34

Unusually strong rise today.

Total short position now 6.89%?

[vb6] 12/1/2018 13:48

Thunderbird Partners LLP increased their short position to 2.04% on 10th January. The total position for shorters is 7.03%Let's hope they get burnt.

[bigbertie] 11/1/2018 10:48

so all is more or less as we already knew - bounce due to relief! 62% order cover for 2018 is up on last year but not wonderful, hopefully the UK MOD will start placing delayed short-term orders soon. good luck all. BB

[bakunin] 11/1/2018 10:02

And yet another concrete example of analysts being corrupt. If not, they are complete idiots.
I presume the idiots will soon come out with revised analysis pointing to lower tax rates in the US since the Tax Reform.

[vb6] 11/1/2018 09:52

Can it hold above £15 or are the shorters going to have a field day? Some shorters went in this week so they should be hurting. Poor things.
