Re: Can you post the link?Hard to believe though (without reading it) that this increase is down to their article.
Computer playing up - certainly NOT a "sell".Won't allow me to put a "buy" (or anything) on this post ???????Mm.
SP rise Questor in the DT has provided a nice boost this morning with higher than normal volume.Mm.
Re: Rise Jig -- very good point. I'll make the effort to go to the next one, as I see myself getting back on this sooner or later.I like the idea of what they are doing and the market should move more to the need of these approaches with the risks associated with antibiotics.I'll be watching more actively from here on and the little drop in the price today helps push me a bit closer to being a member of the club again.Games -- have a good weekend
Re: Rise Games,Completely understand your intrigue about the time of retirement of the CEO, but there can be all sorts of innocent reasons - his health, family members' health, inheritance, even becoming out of tune with the rest of the board. The recent fall at first glance looks bad, but it is only now where it was a week after the Interims, and there has been no new news to affect the share price apart from exchange rate movements; so it's probably fairly priced at the moment.
Re: Rise I think attending AGMs can be very useful - especially for smaller businesses. It is amazing what you can pick up, specially if you can collar a director over coffee or something. So I'm always pleased to hear feedback from AGMs.
Re: Rise I went to the AGM and gained the strong impression the changes were very positive and the company is progressing very well. This is a company with a low turnover in shares so sales tend to affect the price disproportionately and the price drifts between announcements. I have a large shareholding and remain quietly confident that this still has above average medium/long term growth potential with a progressive dividend anticipated.
Re: Rise I posted the last message 2 days before Anpario hit its recent high. So I give myself full marks for calling the top of the market, but no marks for acting on my observation. But I'm not too worried - as long as the business grows profitably, I see no reason to sell.
Rise The interims were good, and the day they were released saw a share price rise of 12%. Since then I have not seen any significant comment or upgrade. There has been no further news, and the pound has not dropped off a cliff. Volumes are average, so no sign of stake building; but the share price has very steadily risen a further 21% since that day. I'm certainly not complaining, but such strength without any obvious reason makes me a little uneasy. No panic selling from me just yet. It's getting a bit overpriced, but it is a growth share, so it should be. I think it can get up to a lot nearer £5 before I get really nervous.
Re: Interims A few years ago, it rather looked as if the company had run out of steam. there was nothing wrong, but sales appeared to have peaked and there was some discussion here about that. Hardboy at least, will no doubt remember. I ended up writing to Richard Edwards, received a constructive reply, a summary of which, I posted here. What really pleases me with these results, is that the actions that he said the company would take to improve sales and profits, have actually happened with very good results. The management teams both at HO and Regionaly seem well balanced in every aspect. Encouraging future, I would say.
Re: Interims We've all done it, but the cliché is "It's never wrong to take a profit."
Re: Interims "Oh Games, methinks you acted in haste:"I did -- I lost faith didn't I?Oh well I'll have to take that one on the chin.Games
Re: Interims If H2 is similar to H1 (I've forgotten if there is much seasonality in this business) then after today's rise the company is valued around a PE of 20 for the year; which if it growing profits at 20+% pa is cheap.
Interims Oh Games, methinks you acted in haste:"companies (sic) growth is slow and it has grown profits without a significant revenue hike in the last years." Revenue up 39% Operating Profit up 26%.Overall these look (on first glance at least) to be excellent figures. Sales up massively, Profit up very healthily, Still oodles of net cash, H2 started well, Australian acquisition bedding in nicely, new offices in Indonesia & Thailand,. Maintained Gross margin despite increases in raw materials. I'll read the announcement in greater detail, but so far things look good.
