Well Numis look to be fairly way off - with pretax profit at £2.3 million and turnover at 6.1 million

Bodes well IMO

Holders thought you might like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Online polling and market research company YouGov is expected to post healthy improvements in revenues and profits in interim figures tomorrow.

In a busy period of growth for the company, YouGov moved into the US market in December with the acquisition of a 32 per cent stake in political and social research firm Polimetrix for £3.8m. In March, YouGov announced a joint venture with publishing firm Centaur Media to develop specialist research panels and products for Centaur's key markets, which include law, financial services, engineering and marketing.

Numis Securities has YouGov posting pre-tax profits 37 per cent higher at £2m in the six months to 31 January, with revenues up 28 per cent to £4.9m.

So the analyst is saying to hold the shares for a 15% loss?????!

[m.t.glass] 05/4/2007 09:46

Stole this from you on tnt thread Crazy ;o)


LONDON, April 3 (newratings.com) - Analyst Alan Howard of Canaccord Adams maintains his "hold" rating on YouGov Plc (ticker: YOU). The 12-month target price has been raised from 691p to 705p.

In a research note published yesterday, the analyst mentions that the company is likely to post 28% y/y revenue growth and 27.7% EBITDA growth for 1H07, driven by continued growth in the online market research businesses in the UK and the Middle East. The acquisition of a 32% stake in Polimetrix would present an impressive opportunity for the distribution of YouGov's BrandIndex product in the US, the analyst adds.

ajnk,

Great post and totally agree, I think long term a good bet, but with the current markets and 4 mm,s who seem to drop the price even when it snows etc.

One too watch and maybe buy time will tell ;) good luck whatever your stance

[ajnk] 20/3/2007 22:38

YOU seems to be struggling to retain it's former rating, In from 395p, reduced at 780 (a bit too early), now in for free, but frustrating performance throughout 2007!

If the general trend in the share price throughout 2007 i.e. flat to Apr, then uptrend from 320p > (almost)1000p, is a reasonable reflection of the companies performance, evidenced half way through the uptrend at the prelims in Oct, then continued performance at the previous rate of progress by YOU is certainly not anticipated by the share price over the last 10-11 weeks or so.

At 820p my Sharescope software indicates EPS of 21, EPS growth of 282%, PER of 38.9, with a PEG of 1.91 (based on historic figures).
On forcast figures this gives EPS of 25.36, EPS growth of 20%, PER of 32.3 with a PEG of 1.26, still not particularly attractive (especially the PEG!!).

Indication of YOU's ability to comfortably exceed forcast figures needed in 10 April ? interims, to jolt us out of the current malaise.

Based on past performance, YOU should not let us down.
Onward & upward ............ but not for 3 weeks or so!
Hope the market doesn't fall apart before then

Nice come back. Got some more buy the way at 780p so well in profit. Will we have a secondry tremour is the worry.

[silverfern] 01/3/2007 15:33

And remains so.

[cr4zyness] 01/3/2007 08:35

This price is a bargain in my opinion ;)

[johnrxx99] 01/3/2007 08:30

Bought a few more at 825p

[silverfern] 01/3/2007 08:16

just bought back in - same price as in November, a bargain

[johnrxx99] 01/3/2007 04:51

Profit taking. Fall on very small turnover so mm's slam breaks on. IMO good opp to top up.

[deadly] 28/2/2007 18:58

So what caused the big fall today apart from just sentiment?

[cr4zyness] 26/2/2007 20:12
