Re: Full year results The market did seem slow to pick up on the benefits of exiting the C2C franchise.

Full year results Excellent results from an excellent company, I think. Well balanced portfolio and focus on international activities and operational excellence paying off. Div could have been increased a bit more but happy that funds are reinvested in growth. Shares have performed well over the year and should continue upwards.

Currency benefit An added attraction to NEX is the probable benefit from their substantial exposure to the US $ and the Euro. Spain alone is a substantial operation and the US bus business seems to be performing well. An attractive share on all fronts I think and hope, having just bought a few more.

Achievements underated I have held shares in National Express for many years including the bad times of being disfranchised. It has always been a company that should be doing better which is why I held on. Now I believe it has become a very well managed group that has been successful in some very competitive markets and, most importantly, managing to trade profitably whilst operating safely and efficiently. I now think that its achievements are not fully understood and the shares are underrated as a consequence. For a company of this size, there are very few discussions or opinions being posted and I suspect that, like me, there have been many shareholders .who have hunkered down to see what emerged and whether the improvements were sustainable. Despite the recent relative strength in the sp. I envisage further growth in profits and the sp. My only concern is whether the wide geographical spread can be managed adequately and I would be worried if the CEO were to leave. Am adding to my holding.

National Express pays living wage [link] me a commie if you want, but I personally am heartened to know my dividend cheque (from next year) isn't at the expense of some poor Brummy bus driver who dioesn't bring home enough wonga to feed her kids.
