Agree. Look forward to a sustainable pattern of revenues and cash flows being re-established, as this should hopefully bring an upwards rerating.

To be fair, GT has laid excellent foundations and the fruit of his labours will eventually show.

A well deserved rest for him when you consider what he has achieved in such a short time.

[hutch_pod] 30/9/2016 18:10

Let's hope so. Onwards..

New CEO Monday

Hopefully will get this share moving North again.

Pretty big trades today. One the sell side?

Having bought back in on the recent dipette I have added significantly today.

Bought volume at 128-129 (below mid) so presumably a large sell order in the background.

I would have thought the next dividend would be about 4.4p having looked at previous figures.

Either way , for a company that does not appear in trouble, it appears to be a very good yield.

They have , after all spent a lot of money previously on boosting their product offerings and hopefully that will eventually bear fruit.

I often think, that since this is not an AIM share fancied by many small investors, that the market might keep a lid on the price in order to suit the institutions .

The plus side of that (if I am right) , would be a healthy upside when the price is released to what I would have thought were the correct levels.

Completely with you on that one Ganthorpe.
I cant understand the low price so have topped up .

UTW looks good value today at 126P to buy.
IMS indicates that there is cash in bank and EBITDA will be similar to last year . So the EPS which was over 17P last year may be a little lower , say 16P or so which gives a P/E of 8 times , and if the increase in the Interim dividend is repeated in the Final , it should be 3.8P making a total of 5.5P for the year against 4P last year , and a yield of 4.4%.
All sounds good but roll on 18 October for the real figures.

Agree on the process of a turn around

[rhatton] 15/9/2016 09:14

Added a position here (SB), looking for a push north for the interim results on the 18th of next month. Debt cleared and possible net cash position?

[freddie ferret] 09/9/2016 15:57

He can buy up to 30% and then he has to make an offer.

[nw99] 08/9/2016 14:24

He is no mug

[ganthorpe] 08/9/2016 10:34

I see Woodford is still adding to UTW and has just passed 27%.
How much of a factor is Woodford's support and reputation in propping up the share price?
I have a few left from last year but won't think about buying more till the final figures come out next month.

Nice to see how the T Mac offering can help acquire some large scale business.

I would have thought that there would be ample more opportunities.

[bennywin] 26/8/2016 08:15

I'll top up then.

Followed this company for a while. Still long but only out of morbid fascination. The cash earnings of this company tell the real story. All of the revenue is generated from margin earned acting as middle man. There are NO products. Just overcharging and potential complaints from unsuspecting customers. Loads of acquisitions it would seem but to what end? The directors would have you believe the promised land is just around the corner when forecasted revenues materialize. If 1 in 5 businesses fail within a year, what will happen to all these contracts which have yet to go live? If their revenue earnings are all that are keeping the market interested, what happens when it materializes that this will never be matched by cash earnings?? Some very bad decisions made by the board re: senior appts. Like watching a car crash. Staff attrition is real problem. Why? Do they know something we don't? I've seen this on the AIM market before. The only people buying this ahre are the directors looking to feed a self fulfilling prophecy.

[freddie ferret] 25/8/2016 17:24

Very, very large sells yesterday but the price rises.

[nw99] 24/8/2016 09:56

Added more today

[thewheeliedealer] 19/8/2016 20:51

Hi all,

After the recent Trading Update I thought it was about time I scribbled some thoughts on UTW - I still like this a lot and see it that they are going through not unusual Issues resulting from fast growth. I posted this Blog on my Website earlier this week, hope it helps,

cheers, WD

[nw99] 19/8/2016 15:58

Very interesting thank you added a few more here

[bennywin] 19/8/2016 15:20

All sounds good.

Geoff Thompson has indeed worked a small miracle to get the company to this stage so quickly and he no doubt needs a bit of a rest from the pressure.

Looks to be a fantastic replacement and I am confident they have a bright future.

Shame the share price does not currently reflect this, but bearing in mind next years dividend should be slightly higher than this years, then currently, at the price you are buying into a healthy return .
