Hazelton:. Not closely - Keep an eye on them as oil sservices are a must have for oil production but partially cyclical and very difficult to call market bottom

PUGGLEY , I noticed the chart but it must sell to the oil explorers and their charts are similar , possibly a less than positive outlook. Thin dividend and fundamentals a bit out of kilter needing a bit more cash flow to support earnings. MBV not bargain yet but not too much debt. One to keep an eye on but it does not scream at me. It is not a sector that I have a good feel for but always willing to learn , do you follow these?

We need a continuing flow of contract wins like this morning's prior to the results to get the share price moving upwards.

I wonder if Blackrock have finished selling and the rise this afternoon is the tick-up we have been waiting for?

Well Phil I would hope so but at the moment we are going sideways which is not too encouraging. Lets hope the worse was announced last month and that they haven't hidden something for later publication.

tripe - the February statement you refer to is presumiably the results to 31st December 2013. They are usually out early March. I agree that they have bottomed out for now, as long as there is no more bad news before the results. I would imagine the share price would drift up before then if the market continues to strengthen?

Well let us hope that it has bottomed out. Feb statement is the next milestone, I am too deep in to get out and cannot believe long term this is a bad investment.Just wait and hope !!

Tempus (The Times) picked Wood Group as one of his shares of 2014. It doesn't seem to have made any difference as yet!

Drawing a line across to the 653 close in June 2012 might be a support line and it seems to have bounced off that today. Below that it looks like 473 in October 2011. Let's hope 653 is a support, a few days of settled trading after that followed by a couple of days of rising and I'm in. Got to be an opportunity at this price?

Also sold out at mid-day today: in my notes above I state that I would not buy the share today if I were not currently a holder, enough said.
Also these profit warnings/falls in expectation often come in 3's; don't want to be around for the next one.
Very disappointed in the management and their construction of today's update; the editor of the Sun could have done better!

That has got to be one of the worst updates I've ever read in over 10 years of investing/trading. Not so much the content, but more of the mixed messages.

I sold out this morning having bought in at 795 earlier in the week. I have zero confidence in the board and their future forecasts.

Good luck folks.

My thoughts on WG. As of today:

The Group has three
businesses - Wood Group Engineering, Wood Group PSN and Wood Group GTS

For the company as a whole it is confident of achieving expectations for 2013; ok, that's fine.

For 2014 they expect a fall in EBITA 10-15% in WG Eng which they claim will be compensated for by the "performing well" WG PSN. WG GTS is expected to be flat in 2014.

In 2014, the mix of opex and capex activities in our business and the contribution from completed acquisitions is expected to lead to growth overall. Yes, ok but by how much for the group as a whole' we have to wait and see.

We have an unfolding story that starts with the 20/8/13 interims which resulted in a max 11% drop in share price closing at 8% down.

The 4/10/13 IMS not really that much of a change in outlook just a few snippets of information. Bit of lower share price drift for the next 3-5 days but nothing significant.

Pre-close trading statement today: My thoughts : we now have a picture of the pre recent acquisition composite business being flat in terms of EBITA growth for 2014. Growth should come from the acquisitions, how much we do not know.
The share price reacted badly falling initially by about 13% but is now slinking back to be about 10% down.

Credit Suisse has today issued an outperform note but reduced it's price target by 50p to 850p (I accept these price targets from brokers are of little value).

Reasons to hold: undemanding PE, reasonable Piotroski of 7, in my view prospect for profit improvements, possible short term price improvement over the next few days.

Reasons to sell: well degree of uncertainty, market sentiment.

Reasons to buy: If I did not hold it would I buy it now, very unlikely.
