Closing on that 2011 high, not long to results
24 February 2014 Results for the 12 months to 31 December 2013

£19.50 was about the high back in 2011, reaching for that imo. If you take out 2012 its a nice bowl as well ;o)

Sharelockholmes has Revenue of 99.3m - 91.76p eps for 2013, 104.9m - 98.6p eps for 2014.

I make that they did just over £101m revenue with the highlighted margin improvement I guess they probably did 95p eps.

anyone got any idea what mkt forecasts are around the place for XPP ?

[cockerhoop] 10/1/2014 07:50

I make that over £52m revenue for H2 at improved gross margins. Steady improvement in order book for 2014. Very well managed.

Excellent performance in the last 12 months. Makes an enjoyable read.

[spangle93] 10/1/2014 07:42

Ha ha - I did, in 2001. It took 10 years to break even after the dot com burst, but it's in profit! ;-)

Hard to beat this for a trading statement.

[fozzie] 10/1/2014 07:23

Confident statement and hopefully new highs coming up. What a company this has been for me, if only I had invested everything here all those years ago.

[thorpematt] 10/1/2014 07:10

Very nice TS


:-)

P.S
Good work on HALMA. fingers crossed on IRV (looks a perky chart still)

[the juggler] 07/1/2014 20:59

I have a note in my calendar for update on 10th January - Friday.

[wetherfield] 30/12/2013 10:56

Top power supply man been added to their list of non executive directors today. Peter Bucher ex MD of Traco Switzerland. A good man to have on board.

[the juggler] 29/12/2013 11:07

Thorpematt - i will take a look at ZYT. First log on for 9 days today - on hols. Pleased to see everything seems to be going up!

[cockerhoop] 20/12/2013 14:19

Obviously was released early online which explains the flurry of small buys earlier in the week.

[thorpematt] 20/12/2013 13:49

Might hesitate at £16, who knows I will will just be holding.

Should mention ZYT.

Check out the 10year growth in EPS, book value etc. Check the growth story. See the blip as a temporary . Don't buy today though - IC have tipped it.

I should've mentioned it yesterday , but as you will see form the thread I couldn't get enough stock...

[the juggler] 18/12/2013 22:54

Good charting Thorpematt! £17 would be most welcome

Meanwhile I bagged a few Halma :-)

[thorpematt] 18/12/2013 22:47

90 day MA seems to marry well with support and resistance. £17 awaits...

[the juggler] 18/12/2013 18:45

Just pleased to see it back to a high :-)

[cockerhoop] 17/12/2013 17:00

Lots of small trades today - does anybody know if it's been tipped?

[courant] 16/12/2013 12:58

Halma is an interesting company. I've been a holder but, IMO, the valuation is too rich at the minute, so I've sold. Similar characteristics to XPP though, just 30-50% more expensive!

[losos] 16/12/2013 10:19

10 Jan. yes thanks for that I will be looking out for their statement too.

[the juggler] 16/12/2013 08:54

Hi Losos

Interesting that you too are watching Halma! I am going to have a couple of hours this evening to see whether or not to dip my toe i to the water so to say.

XPP Sp has been all over the place for the last couple of weeks. MMS messing for sure as certainly not due to any volume of buys or sells that I can see. I have 10 January 2014 in my calendar for their next update. Quietly confident.

[thorpematt] 16/12/2013 01:52

The Juggler,
Thanks for heads up.

Have had a quick look at the story and the numbers. I have come across some of their products too.

I strongly agree it looks a keeper. ALL the numbers I've seen thus far are positive on that score. Very steady over last decade and very positive.

I suspect you are aware that Norman Blackwell is a Non-executive Director also?

Like you, I'd need to do more digging but valuation is the only concern I'd have. But on that score I'd quote Buffet:-

"It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price."
