Re: NEW ARTICLE: Chart breakout at Vp Isn't an 18% increase in the divi quite generous ? After all they do have £60m+ of debt.On another note I'm hoping that the business will start to attract the attention of institutions now that profits are well over £20m . The larger they become the more marketable the shares the higher the PE ( in general terms).

Re: NEW ARTICLE: Chart breakout at Vp this article would have enhanced sp if written in future tense about 2 weeks ago.i agree with the sentiment but feel sp forecast a bit modest.asi long term holder i am well pleased although a bit disappointed as i was hoping for a special dividendi should have allowed that the directors are younger than i (most people are!) so they work to a different time scale. nevertheless they are doing a grand job

Ahead of expectations From todays IMS "... believe that the Group will deliver full year results ahead of current market expectations for the year ended 31 March 2015", which, given the effect of the oil price on parts of the business, is pretty impressive.

Telegraph- Questor "Stick with shares of Vp, Questor advised in the Sunday Telegraph. The rental company is spread across construction, oil and gas and equipment hire, helping first-half profit rise by 27%. It is benefiting from work upgrading the UK's railways, roads and utilities and it should do well from even a small recovery in public construction. Trading on 14 times annual earnings, the shares reflect much of the good news, prompting a hold rating from the tipster."SP on publication = 617p.
