Nobody is talking it down. However it would appear you are trying to talk it up :)

Have you guys bought in yet? Or are you still trying to talk VANLs share price down? Its starting to be walked up again over the last couple of sessions by the MMs, so a good chance (last chance?) to still buy below 50p....DYOR and good luck! Rich

They aren't an equipment hire company though?
They need the machines to carry out contracts so that capital needs to be tied up.

I'm thinking this is a recovery play once it finds a bottom, trouble is equipment hire companies like this can stay flat for a long time before they turnaround. I read one of Pauly's reviews on this company he wrote about a year ago where he said at the time it looked pretty healthy cash wise and asset wise but companies like this have too much capital tied up in machinery that it affects the overall growth of the company, too much profit is piled back into new machinery. It kind of reminds me of a recovery play scenario you used to see in the old Penny Share Guide back in the 90s, not sure what happened to that btw because I don't follow stuff like that anymore.

The broker's estimates are £5.15 Million net profit for full year down from £7.34 Million in 2018. I just wonder if we are going to see worse than this estimate. So if the second half isn't expected to improve we could see another dive perhaps 35p share price a possibility

Back in January 2019:
LONDON (Alliance News) - Van Elle Holdings PLC on Wednesday said it does not expect improvements in its performance in the second half of its current financial year following a sharp decline in its interim earnings.

The stock was trading down 33% on Wednesday morning at 53.55 pence a share.

I notice this from their half year results a pretty large miss due to Carillion debt and a slow down in infrastructure projects. I suspect this drop is pricing in a bad set of full year figures being expected as the economy has slowed even more in recent months and that was a factor for the last profit warning.

Cutler said: “Since joining the business in August I have been taking action to refine the group’s commercial approach, streamline operations, strengthen the leadership team and refocus on our key customers. This is already creating a strong platform from which to pursue our growth strategy.”

Van Elle’s half year results also show that its revenue decreased by 18.4% due to a slowdown in the housebuilding and infrastructure sectors.

Operating profits over the period also fell 47.4% to £3M.

Cutler added: “There is work to do at the front end in the marketing and the bidding for work. There is more to be done than I had expected in terms of operational performance.”

He added: “We have rationalised the number of divisions in the business, down from eight to five. That reduced cost, reduced interfaces, simplified the business and concentrated on divisional structures that are more common sense in terms of the way that we explain ourselves to our customers and support the internal collaboration improvements that we are looking for.”

Lammy the twitter looks like mainly recruitment adverts. Meaning they are expanding quickly or plenty have jumped ship!

looks like they are walking it down a cliff edge though because these are -60% down from last year with a forward PE of 6. You typically only see that kind of figure if there is some serious trouble ahead

VANL share price being walked down by MMs on low volume, during period between results. 64.4% of share capital still owned by IIs and Ellis etc. No big sellers, just uncertainty over Brexit affecting capex projects imo. Twitter account makes VANL look pretty busy. Plenty of upside here at this ridiculous price, will probably add some more...DYOR Rich

I think if Ellis decides to come back, they would welcome him back with open arms but the damage is done.

Oh, how times change.

After the year end results are published I can see a huge crash on the horizon.

Post #454 - contractor or sub-contractor? In a sense, they are always a sub, as ground engineering is embedded into larger projects. But at the last HY, they had gross margins of 33%, which looks like a lot more control than a mere sub-contractor would have.

Unfortunately KLR (their main comparative) doesn't separate out gross margins.

It's over a year now since Ellis tried to take back control, so I suppose he could have another go.

I don't hold any shares here, but the bare numbers don't look bad: NTA above the share price, positive net current assets, manageable debt, PER maybe 8.2x ... Could be just rubbish management (if the comments about staff leaving are true).

Or they're fiddling the books? Not unknown.

From what I understand it is now all about damage control.

All the best staff have left the company and have been replaced by characters who have no industry knowledge nor experience.

Staff are now leaving on a weekly basis.

The Non-Exec members have lined their pockets and don’t give a damn about the company, the staff nor the share holders like us.

It is now turning toxic.

I think a combination of both. When you are re-employing staff who left over ten years ago it doesn't look good.

Shares have now waned under 49p.

Things are not looking good and from what I hear the company is now in total disarray.

The next few weeks will be interesting.

Profit warnings? End of year accounts?

How much longer can this go on for?

Mr Ellis must be kicking himself! I am sure Cutler is not on his Christmas Card list.

I used to be invested in a company that did road maintenance. Looked good on paper but turned out to be a terrible investment. The problem was that they were a sub-contractor, to whichever company obtained the bigger contract. Mostly, the main contractor only won the contract with a low bid and would then squeeze all the sub-contractors to bring the contract in with some profit for themselves.

Then, if the company managed to put two consecutive profitable years together, it was time to replace some of the plant.

I don't know enough about VANL's business to know if it suffers from the above, but from what research I have done, it appears that some if not all of its contracts are as sub-contractor.

This type of company should not really be quoted. It's a one man, or family, and their plant type of business.

that's the question isn't it....
I took a loss about a 18 months or so ago at 100p but retained half of my holding....then sold the remaining half at circa 80p
whatever you do, good luck

This is shockingly bad, and I'm sitting on quite a large loss on paper. Do i cut my losses, or bail out now?

Whats the chances of this going bust completely?
