Re: 2017 Results- We have been here before Temp - I think it is safe to say that LPA is currently making strides intorobustly growing profits. Long may this continue. The shares look jollycheap.Cheers,ws

2017 Results- We have been here before Reading the results and their enthusiastic reception by Tiger and others, with forecasts on imminent rises in the SP, I thought I was back one year ago, when results and reception were more or less the same. I have written to Mr Pollock the CEO along the following lines.I read the report with a mixture of pleasure and frustration.The best news was was the higher level of the current order book, the worst news was that sales only increased by 4.9% at a time when global trading conditions have rarely been better. Results were against weak comparatives, there being no bad debt write offs which, in themselves were a worry with two Chartered Accountants on the Board.LPA has excellent staff, products and technical knowledge but remains a very small company and seemingly very vunerable to any adverse occueance. Both Mr Pollock and Mr Rusch are in their seventies but we know nothing of any succession plan. I would like to see a plan for profits to grow 25% year on year for five years, for a technical director to be appointed to the Board and a highly qualified female, preferably an engineer with a marketing background, also appointed to the Board.The Company operates or has agents in 22 countries and is active in very large industry groupings but this is not reflected in the size or apparent ambition of the Group. Already we are reading of potential capacity constraints both in terms of people and premisies, which is surprising.I would hope that the group's vision for the future can be communicated to shareholders.There were few other points, but the above is of the essence.In my view, there is unlikely to be a better time than now to grow the company in order that it can prosper and not be so vunerable to the next adverse circumstance that will no doubt come along one day.Without more dynamism, LPA will struggle to exceed 200p by much i.e only back to where it was and Tiger's 300p forecast last year, only something for us all to dream about.

Re: in for what i can in the morning Tiger - There is a good chance that in a couple of months' time manya small private investor will say: ' Wish I bought when I could when the price went below 170p'.LPA certainly does look seriously undervalued. I am well invested. Good luck,ws

Re: Vox Markets says buy CTiger - Probably a bit lazy. What was the old target in the broker note?Generally wise not to take to much notice of broker notes, they are just toooften out of kilter / each way. Anyway let us have the old/unchanged target please?ws

Re: Vox Markets says buy Agree. Mm look to be buying stock ahead of a push upIt’s a lazy note today. The company is having a superb first half but no it’s not reflected. That’s weird. Anyway sitting very tight with my stake Tiger

Re: Vox Markets says buy In my view the shares ought to be trading at around 210p, which Ibase on EPS 15p miltiplied by PE-ratio 14. Higher is possible, but meantime I think it reasonable to look to 210p for the short term.IMHO,ws

Re: Vox Markets says buy Yea he sees value it like me!I cannot get my head round the house broker NOT increasing the forecast for current year when we achieved MORE than its target in the last 12 months.Maybe someone is buying some stock only to push the price higher later WHEN they have a chunk?Todays trades made no sense.Started strong a couple of 2500 sells and price was 165 but 9.07 it was 180p ( or a trade was)..............something odd.Anyway mine are going in the bottom draw to come out at 300pTiger
