Oryx buying more, above 20% now Wow - RNS out showing that Oryx/North Atlantic are now above 20% and have bought another 2.75m or so shares:[link] like they've bought out the remainder of Standard Life's holding from their 22nd September RNS, so a big overhang has been cleared.Could be time for a big re-rating if all goes well.

Tipped today by Finncap Finncap have today released their Q3 Industrial Technology sector note. In it they review the entire sector, and highlight just three companies as key picks as "companies that can remain master of their own destiny", of which HAYT is one:"Hayward Tyler*. The business has been transformed over the past couple of years, with significant cost reductions and supply-chain changes to make the group more efficient and flexible. We see tremendous potential in HAYTs powergen markets as developing nations remain deficient of high quality electricity, and HAYTs leading-edge super-critical boilers are gaining market share. Its nuclear aftermarket exposure through safety regulation is non-cyclical. For HAYT, the oil and gas market is a positive feature, not a negative one, with potential to gain traction in a huge customer base via its MOU with FMC Technologies. The groups recent AGM pointed to building momentum in order intake and the Luton Centre of Excellence project, targeting a doubling of capacity highlighting the medium-term upside."
Moving up Buying at 88.65p and 88.4p now - looks like breaking up into the 90p's for starters towards that "conservative" 113p target price.
Analyst update - Buy with 113p target WH Ireland have updated as follows, saying Buy with a 113p target:"Hayward Tyler*: Luton update and new contract wins (CORP)The group has won £13.5m of new orders in the first quarter across the nuclear, power and oil & gas sectors, including an agreement with GE Oil & Gas for the supply of a subsea motor. This solid level of order intake represents growth of 14% ahead of the same quarter last year. The second and final tranche of funding for the secured loan note has been issued, raising £1.4m (before costs) in order to support the development of the Luton Centre of Excellence. The development project is on track and on budget and due to complete by July 2016. Foundations have been laid and the construction of the test beds recently started. It will enable increased throughput, reduced lead times, lower working capital and enable a doubling of capacity. No change to forecasts.We consider the shares have yet to catch on to the massive potential the recent MOU with FMC Technologies has to offer in terms of its scope to tap into FMCs own customer base and create a substantial new revenue stream in the oil and gas sector.Once this potential is converted into new customer contracts, the shares should rerate to a significantly higher level.We retain our conservative 1-year price target of 113p, based on a target P/E of 14x; compared with the current rating of 10.6x, this offers attractive upside"
Excellent update today - all on track at Luton- large new orders received- order book well ahead of last year- in particular, a first order from GE for a subsea motor. These are presumably the ones that sell for £1m+, so repeat orders from the likes of GE would bring a step-change in revenues.Hopefully this good news will see a breakout for the share price.
Moving up and looking really good online.You can currently sell at least 15k at 83.7p - above the mid-price! - whereas you can only buy a maximum 2,500 at 85p.There's clearly demand out there.
Each FMC system sells for £1m+..... Great new interview with the CEO - just one of HAYT's systems sold to FMC will bring in £1m+.....[link] "when is this investment in the Centre of Excellence at Luton going to start to pay off?To which the answer is: it is already starting to pay off, as can be verified by FMC Technologies, the global market leader in sub-sea systems, choosing Hayward Tyler earlier this year to manufacture permanent magnet motors for use in FMC's 3.2 megawatt sub-sea pump systems.Each of these units is worth one-million-plus, which is around three to four times the normal cost of our units, so you can do the maths, Ewan Lloyd-Baker said in an interview with Proactive Investors. The Hayward Tyler boss was confident other deals would follow the FMC hook-up and that, over the medium term, 20-30% of Hayward Tylers revenues would come from the oil & gas sector. If hes right, that should put paid to any concerns about revenues from the oil & gas sector drying up. It is all a matter of being patient, which is apparently a lot easier to do when one is the boss of a 200-year-old company, though house broker finnCap has also got the message.Against the difficult oil sector backdrop, the recent alliance with FMC offers the potential for a scale increase in production, the broker said in a research note on Tuesday. In the meantime, Lloyd-Baker pointed to very healthy order intake of £9.8mln in the first two months of the current financial year, with the orders derived from a range of geographies and a variety of sectors.Were becoming more competitive on the power side, Lloyd-Baker asserted, and that increased competitiveness opens up lots of possibilities, especially in India and China. Now that the general election is out of the way in India and the economy is picking up, the company might start making more of a noise on the sub-continent, where weve been a bit quiet lately, Lloyd-Baker acknowledged. the afternoon, the shares had rallied to 82p, suggesting that the companys message was getting through. House broker finnCap is forecasting earnings per share of 8.0p for the current financial year, putting the shares on a projected earnings multiple of 10.25, which finnCap says is a discount to its peers. finnCaps calculations, the shares should be on a multiple of 14.1, which would imply a price of 113p.The improving market outlook coupled with significant internal enhancements potentially provides significant scope for earnings growth in the current year and upside to the current valuation, reckons finnCap analyst, David Buxton"
Tipped in the IC Should provide a nice boost, particularly on Friday:"Hayward Tyler (HAYT) celebrated its 200-year anniversary by posting its best performance since listing in 2010. But despite original equipment and after-market revenues both growing 13 per cent due to strong power and nuclear markets, shares in the pump and motor manufacturer tumbled 5 per cent."It's been another year where we've exceeded expectations," says chief Ewan Lloyd-Baker, arguing the business was "marked down" for the market perception of its oil and gas exposure. At 8 per cent of revenues Mr Lloyd-Baker describes this part of the business as "small", and maintains that even a lower oil price is not enough to derail demand for the group's efficiency-boosting subsea and submersible motors. Nevertheless, delays in oil and gas infrastructure spending did hinder sales in Europe. There were no such problems for the group's core markets. Nuclear profited from a big order to replace nuclear parts at two South Korean reactors, while Hayward's power operations enjoy a bulging pipeline of new power plants in China and India. While the development of a new centre of excellence in Luton is expected to expand capacity and vastly improve efficiencies. Broker finnCap expects adjusted pre-tax profit of £5m in the year to March 2016, giving adjusted EPS of 8p (up from 7.5p in FY 2015).

Results Surprising fall in sp after results and maybe people were hoping for a faster rate of growth. Hopefully the Luton facility will provide profit acceleration which needed to acjieve Finncap target, I feel
Finncap say Buy with 113p target Finncap retain their forecasts and their 113p target, slightly adjusting EPS to 8p: "Hayward Tyler*: Full-year results (CORP)The results were broadly in line. A strong H2 performance was seen in the aftermarket operation, generating improved margins and adjusted EPS growth of 16%. Turnover increased by 13% to £48.6m. EBITDA increased by 15% to £6.4m. After adjusting for a fair value of a derivatives item of £0.29m, adjusted PBT was £4.65m, up 17% (compared with our forecast of £4.62m).Adjusted EPS increased by 16% to 7.5p. Net debt was £7.9m, improved by £0.5m. The final dividend was 0.79p, giving a full-year DPS of 1.32p, up 5%. Original Equipment (OE) sales increased by 12.5% to £19.7m with a FY loss of 0.27m but a 2H profit of £0.19m, after the 1H loss of £0.46m. Aftermarket sales increased 12.6%, driving profits up 18% to £7.6m with margins rising from 25.2% to 26.4%. Management is optimistic that conditions will remain strong in China and are improving in India. Against the difficult oil sector backdrop, the recent alliance with FMC offers the potential for a scale increase in production. We retain our existing profit forecasts for the current year, although we slightly reduce our EPS forecast from 8.1p to 8.0p. The improving market outlook coupled with significant internal enhancements potentially provides significant scope for earnings growth in the current year and upside to the current valuation. The valuation currently stands at a discount to the companys peers on a P/E of 10.6x for 2016. We maintain our 113p price target, which is based on a target P/E of 14.1x, underwriting our enthusiastic view of the shares for the next year."
Contract and partnership news coming New interview with the CEO - it all sounds extremely positive, particularly this hint of new contracts and partnerships coming soon: Http ://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/3879/hayward-tyler-ceo-on-collaboration-and-new-order-wins-3879.html "Lloyd-Baker says that strategic relationships are increasingly important, collaboration is the buzzword in his business and he expects to announce new partnerships in coming weeks. Look out for exciting order wins from India in particular and also other players in the oil and gas market, he said."
Great results ahead of expectations Excellent results - and slightly ahead of expectations.7.5p EPS and 1.315p dividend compares to 7.4p and 1.3p dividend forecast, and PBT is just ahead of forecasts too.The outlook is also very promising, with even O&G improving since the year end and strong order intake.Given 8.1p EPS forecast this year HAYT look pretty cheap at present.
