Re: Steady progress I've noticed that the analysts forecasts for next year are coming down to 41p to 43p of earnings. Fair enough if claims go up and rates go down. This would imply fair value at around £4.It's all guesswork, of course, because who knows what claims will be........

Re: 1p today Thanks YoungBaz (YB)You're perfectly right, bit of an oversight on my part.Compared with some other companies, the total shares in issue is not a vast amount so hopefully we could be in for an exciting ride, upwards. A good assay report and a good flow report could see us on our way.Good luck YB.YB

Finncap increase their EPS forecast Finncap say Buy, increase their EPS for next year to 5.1c and have a 51p target price.Here's their summary:"Enteq Upstream^: Encouraging interim results (BUY) Half-year results saw a decent increase in drilling tools revenues, with a strong increase in profitability. Commercial progress included new Asian customer wins, investment in new products, and a focus on operational efficiencies. No impact has yet been seen from the weaker oil price. Over the next two years, we expect sales growth will be driven by new customer territories and commercial traction with new products, even in a more difficult oil price environment. No change to current year forecasts, with EPS raised by 20% next year on a lower tax charge. The shares have bounced but remain deeply undervalued versus the company’s peers; as such we retain our 51p price target and Buy rating."

CNCT r21442 21 Nov 2014

Tipped in IC this morning Bull points•Diversifying into new growth areas•New acquisition brings national coverage•Cost-cutting measures working well•Fat sustainable dividend yieldBear points•News market in long-term decline•Books business struggling Connect Group's (CNCT) lowly valuation reflects concerns about the long-term decline of its traditional business, Smiths News, which serves the dwindling newspaper and magazine market. However, we believe a share rating of less than nine times forecast earnings overlooks the work that has been done to diversify the business into potentially exciting growth areas. What's more, Connect boasts solid cashflows that look very capable of supporting the shares' attractive yield.Since changing the name of the company from Smiths News to Connect Group in April - reflecting the company's aim to deliver half of profits outside its flagship Smiths News and magazine distribution service - management has been successfully plugging holes in its existing operation while scouring the market for the next big thing.The process began in October with news of two new ventures in parcels and coffee, which will utilise Connect’s existing route network, which means little start-up capital should be required to expand into these growth markets. The first venture announced was Pass My Parcel, a click-and-collect delivery service enabling Amazon shoppers to pick up orders from their local newsagent within hours of making an order. tapping into Smiths News' distribution network and half-empty vans, entrance into this market, which analysts at JPMorgan Cazenove predict will more than double in size between 2014 and 2017, should be relatively straightforward.The same is true of Connect’s other recent initiative, Jack Bean, which involves supplying coffee, and the machines that make it, to the same convenience stores across the country that it has been distributing newspapers and mags to for years. Given the nation’s love of coffee, this too could turn into a very profitable operation. The icing on the cake has come with the acquisitions of Tuffnells Parcels Express this month. The business, a next day B2B deliverer of parcels of irregular dimension and weight, is being acquired for £113m, using a £55m rights issue at 102p and extended debt facilities. The acquisitions is expected to be earnings enhancing in year one and substantially earnings enhancing in year three. In effect, Tuffnells supplements the Pass My Parcel and Jack Beans ventures by providing Connect with a market-leading business with national coverage.These new initiatives should eventually help offset the challenges faced by its other division. The books division has been hit by margin erosion as business moves online. But management plans to give books the same cost-cutting treatment that helped Smiths News reinvigorate itself. Action taken to improve the performance of the division saw profits rise 7 per cent last year and long-term distribution contracts means 84 per cent of its revenue is secure to 2019. Meanwhile, Connect's Education and Care division traded well last year with underlying profits rising 5 per cent.The steady revenue stream from newspaper and magazine distribution should help support Connect’s reputation as a strong generator of cash, which should not only fund the expansion of new initiatives but also underpin a rising dividend - the board recently proposed a dividend per share of 9.7p, representing a yield of nearly 6 per cent.Connect's growth initiatives have already seen the shares move off recent lows and we think there could be much more to come. And while investors wait to see how these exciting developments progress, there's an attractive and growing yield on offer. Buy

FLYB claude reins 21 Nov 2014

Re: I C Downbeat assessment For FLYB Good news - top management cleared much of the bad news in the recent report. Bad news - still got lots of unsuitable planes.Good news - Flybe has plenty of room for improvement - % seats used, cash per seat sold.Bad news - I dont see why they will improve that much in these areas. The experience of flying Flybe is not a pleasant one. Easyjet - no matter how crowded sometimes - is much more efficient, cost effective for the user, gets you there faster and gets you there with a lot of confidewnce. Flybe service is modest at best.Good news - the opening up of the London City routes. This is their big hope. We will see how well they do there.I think that much of the growth in the SP is in the past new. I think the price will drift lower for some time. Cant see a reason to buy, in fact probably sell and get back in later. Weak sell definitely, possibly strong sell.

Major new partnership This is a "world first". and Genpact are a $3.8 billion m/cap....[link] "Genpact and Lombard Risk Launch New Collateral Management Solution for Capital Markets Innovative collaboration helps financial institutions streamline their margin and collateral management processes November 20, 2014: 100 AM ET NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global leader in designing, transforming, and running intelligent business operations, and Lombard Risk Management plc (LSE: LRM), a leading provider of integrated collateral management, liquidity, and regulatory compliance solutions for the financial services industry, announce their collaboration to provide a new solution to help financial services firms optimize their collateral management operations. The collaboration between Genpact and Lombard Risk with CARDS and COLLINE addresses major cost pain points in the industry, and significantly improves margin and collateral management efficiencies with a true end-to-end solution. Genpact will integrate its Collateral Agreement and Reference Data Services (CARDS) with Lombard Risk's COLLINE® collateral, clearing, inventory management and optimization solution. This unique solution will enable both buy and sell-side firms to automatically digitize and capture the terms and conditions of various collateral agreements across asset classes, counterparties, and business silos, resulting in a margin and collateral rulebook by counterparty. More specifically, the digitized data loads COLLINE's agreement management database with the critical counterparty margin and collateral rules needed to efficiently manage and optimize margin and collateral, sharply reducing the time required to manually capture the information from existing and new agreements and amendments. Genpact's service includes the data entry of custom agreement terms which are incapable of being extracted and digitized by CARDS, and management of the data. In addition, the two companies are launching a joint business processing outsourcing (BPO) service for the collateral management function to include processes such as setup and management of agreements, integrating and verifying positions and inventory, processing of margin calls extending from issuance to settlement, and supported by aging analysis, dispute resolution, and failed settlement and customized reporting—together with comprehensive optimization and inventory management. Real-time margin management and intra-day collateral management are rapidly becoming the table stakes for financial services firms to survive and grow. They must drive a number of key functions including managing dynamic margin, collateral eligibility rules, settlement systems, exchanges, collateral across multiple counterparties, and clearing venues with diverse margin and collateral requirements. They must also ensure their liquidity and funding capacity through collateral optimization as well as capturing, mitigating, and allocating collateral costs across products and businesses. This joint solution will address these pain points because Lombard Risk's award-winning COLLINE is the leading platform for collateral management and CARDS has the widest coverage of agreement types. "We are very pleased to partner with a service provider like Genpact given their impressive global client base, collateral management domain expertise and their unique ability to combine process expertise with technology and analytics," said Cliff van Tonder, Global Alliances Director at Lombard Risk. "Having just won Custody Risk's European Awards 2014 'Collateral Technology Vendor of the Year' – and now, in partnership with Genpact, delivering the world's first collateral management solution complete with truly integrated automatic digitization of collateral agreements – exemplifies why we are market leaders in this space."
