Re: Rare bargain I'm inclined to agree but it's not without risk...profit warnings can come in threes like London buses, a third down-turn would add proven management incompetence to the existing less than heady stuff already going on in their construction division, and lead to a permanent re-rating IMO...I'll probably buy some though!

Re: Rare bargain Interesting question trivaskus. I too have jumped in and out twice and although not perfectly timed (are they ever) the trades have left me up. I am very tempted to buy and hold through to September/October when the good half of the year will kick in.

Re: Rare bargain Phew!! sold on the 12th for 205p (17% profit) sold my first holding for 105p per share profit and bought back in (to early) at 175p) proving the old maxim ' buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying' can sometimes make you rich! - Will it work for a 3rd. time?

Re: Results Very poor form given the last trading statement set of comments.....does make you consider management visibility. Not impressed!!!though I think I am right in saying there is 106p of net cash in the business and even with the £5m loss in construction expected EPS of 20p and an implied dividend of 7.6p (5.5%) so price here looks a bit odd (presumably sentiment rather than value driven).I might be tempted to take the contrarian view and buy some........well, maybe......

Re: My price target here is 175p Nice one - I was just looking at this after reading the ii article. I get 136 so I'd be interested in knowing how you got 106. I must have missed something. Also, where are you getting the chart from? The usual source only goes back to 2009.

NEW ARTICLE: ISG in profits warning shocker " Plagued by challenges, LSE:ISG:ISG's construction business has tripped up the group for a second time this year. Optimism that problems which surfaced back in February had been resolved was clearly misplaced, and shares in the accident-prone ..."[link]

Re: Results Loadsof dosh... seems like your statement"but they still have to prove they are out of the woods." would seem still pertinent!! with a 30% fall in the SP to 142 today there are going to be a lot of unhappy investors in ISG !!!

Re: Rare bargain it seems to do the same every year. report results will be poor at the start then better at the end and then lo and behold they exceed expectations.

Re: WHY THE PRICE JUMP? It's all about what was alluded to in the statement in my view. People are starting to cotton on to the idea that this is the cheapest in its sector by far, that the turnaround really has got traction and this is backed up by the broker notes and targets of 330p. So at present more buyers than sellers and quite illiquid. Personally I bought at 180p and will prob look to exit at 280-300p though I expect to have to wait until the next set of results for that.

Re: WHY THE PRICE JUMP? Targets are around the 330p mark, so I suppose that it should trend a bit higher yet. I can't see any corporate action in the offing, but wdIk. If it gets to 230p, I'll be taking some more profits.
