Re: Interesting sorry - clicked the wrong button. I meant to say strong buy. No time to lose interest now.
Interesting Major shareholder sells. Price goes consistently and strongly up.It will be interesting to see who has acquired this 5 per cent.Mark my words. Something is up.
Takeover After years in the doldrums, the persistent rises make me think a takeover may be on the cards.
Yesssssss After 4 years i'm in profit!!!!!
Could be worse Could be worse...
Pretty cool HNT / CHW infographic report Good Huntsworth / Chime Communications plc comparison. Has analysts estimates of EPS which is interesting. [link]
What a lot of money... ...Lord Chadlington took out of this company in terms of what he paid himself...How very little he is leaving behind....
easy 16%? have i heard that before with CNA not a bang on
Re: Holding easy 16%..
Re: quick look True worth is one thing, sentiment is another, as is brand value. I can see this slowly chugging back into the low 40s despite the very weak trading figures and the disfiguring debt. The company is trying to expand and trade its way back, but I think a takeover is also a possibility if a lower price is maintained. The attraction here is not in the figures!
Re: Holding I agree , pity about the div.
quick look Had a quick look at this, following a sniff around earlier in the year.Real PBT is about £12.6m. The company is carrying net debt of about £40m. So the value is whatever you think, based on that. I've used my calculations, not the numbers presented.To my mind the business is not worth more than £120m, maybe less. You could argue for £126m - £40m = £86m.At 35p, the company is valued at about £114m, if I have my sums right. A dividend of 1.75p gives a yield of 5%. That's fine/good, as long as it is sustained.The business is generally flat to falling in revenue and margin terms.The risk is that if the profit shrinks any more, the debt will become threatening. I can't see how debt can be reduced through trading.I'd put fair value at no better than 35p. Good luck to all holders. I'm notoriously mean when it comes to buy prices. I'm a ditherer at this price.
Re: Holding Hardly a disasterous result. Been marked down massively early on. Guess its to stop knee jerk sellers. Still holding.
Re: Holding back in the buy zone..
Re: Slowly...... Maybe......But if I was looking to take over the comany, I'd be pleased to see the share price going down??
