Re: Results today..... An unsung company with ever increasing profits and dividend. One to definitely tuck away in an ISA and leave alone as I did 3 years ago.

Encouraging Results Solid and steady performance with rising demand for their motorway gantry & barrier products in UK. Also new USA factory has recently opened. Dividend up 12.5% but still well covered. Pity I didnt add more on the recent dip. Methilman was right about further prospects!Good luck all holders SG

Huge volumes today over 3M shares traded today, mainly in about 6 negotiated trades around 14:20. The largest was for 1,295,000 shares. Institutional holders shifting their holdings I assume - but still unusual. Any ideas?SG

Re: Falling SP before results I still think that this sp has further to go.Any more weakness in the sp, say below 560 might tempt me in for a few more.Mm.

Falling SP before results There,s been a bit of a trail off in the price here recently. Full year prelim. results are due on 10th March. I'm watching closely in case things arent as rosy as had been predicted in the November IMS:''Outlook - Overall, conditions in many of our end markets are generally encouraging and, notwithstanding the adverse impact of year on year foreign exchange movements, we continue to expect the Group to report good progress for 2014. Accordingly, we remain on track to meet the Board's expectations for the full year.''Mutandis ran his slide rule over HILS a while back and came up with fair value around 500pThe recent buy tips may be the reason SP briefly went over 600pAny views?SG
