Looks to me that if you annualise 1H earnings stripping out capital gains, looks like WHI is trading on PE of 9ish. Impressive result bearing in mind corp finance division raised £60mm compared with £90mm+ last year. Balance sheet looks pretty solid, plenty of liquidity there to deal with market downturn should this be required. Also, there will be a decent property revaluation gain in 2H. Still a lot of negative sentiment associated with this stock considering muted stock reaction thus far, but these results including the massive dividend hike should go some way to dispelling this (IMHO)

CR Good to see you back here. They are growing their business which is what I like. Its been a long wait for me but then patience seems to win in the end and looks to me as if they have shrugged off most of the problems mentioned on this board and have turned the corner. Looking forward to the 180s again.

Seem to be on a PE of 10 if you only use H1 earnings - looks very cheap imo

Have held this for two years, with no gains except for dividends. These seemed very good results.

[deadly] 30/7/2007 09:17

Excellent results. WHI has been undervalued for so long but perhaps now people will begin to see the value at last. Forward P/E is below 5 and with the asset backing and positive cash flow these are a great stock.

Why is everyone is still using this old thread with its out of date header and no company info, when there are others which are much better?

[skyracer] 30/7/2007 08:11

Morning CR, yes these look good.

[cockneyrebel] 30/7/2007 08:05

Im suprised the regulator has not taken a harsher stance with them over Cape .Have a read on the thread on CAPE and you will see just what a mess that is .Time this lot was sold . Only problem is I dont think they can get what they want for it.A bit of a bear market now and they ll be wishing they got out earlier !!! (imho)

[handycam] 26/6/2007 20:21

Roxi has been good for them. They could do with a good shake. I know for sure certain parties ave taken a look. Hitchens could try their luck, you know.

announced, there is a put and call option arrangement in place which enables WH
Ireland to increase its investment in the Australian business as appropriate in
the future.

line with expectations having participated in a number of IPOs and secondary
fund raisings.

Why did you sell them?

[silverlandfinance] 04/5/2007 11:39

PS
I sold the other day 6000 shares. They were snapped up without a ripple!
Usually, this would reduce the share price by about 5p.

[silverlandfinance] 04/5/2007 10:49

There is no doubt in my mind that the share price is so low that the company is
highly exposed to a takeover. Firstly there is a consolidation in the industry. Slowly, the small stockbrokers are being acquired. Today, the FT announced that Hitchens Harrison rose 6.7% amid talk that a middle east investor is building a stake. Secondly, the p/e is so much lower than its peers that something is bound to happern-either a revaluation of the share price or a takeover.

Interesting that the MD and CEO - who you would expect to be in the know - chose to receive their large dividends as shares rather than cash....

I am hearing of more costly recruits so my guess is that costs up to well over 30m this year (ie more than last year's revenue).

WHI has already admitted that its primary source of income (equity sales ) volumes are down and as for IPOs last year it was 17, I cannot think of more than 4 so far this year and none for months.

I suspect that the cape scandal really is hurting that side of the business - cannot see how revenues can be anywhere near £30m this time.

I cannot see how WHI can make a profit this year, IMHO
