I sold a third at £39. I'm thinking of selling some more as well. Not a lot of room for disappointment at this level!!
..looking at this trend shape ;÷)
Likewise Sion.
I bought in at 44p in 2002. Panicked when they dropped heavily last March and sold most of them.
C'est la vie!
Purchased these at £1.26 around 2008 ,had to sell these at a slight lose to pay for an extension. What a mistake that was !!! Shares can destroy you emotionally,lol
Yes I bought at£22 just over a year ago, problem is to know whether to take profits without eroding value of holding, I'm tempted just to sell 10% only
You of course need to keep one eye on the COVID work but £50m is still £50m at the end of the day and its a £50m opportunity which has been taken away from its competitors. That resulting gains will put AHT on a much more positive footing for when the major construction and infrastructure projects kick off - newer kit, a reinvigorated team, an expanded team of experts. As always be cautious but this is very positive.
...a new high and onwards. Did you hear that ? Anyone out there ? Once again, lots more buys than sells. If anyone bought this 12 months ago then it's a 4 bagger. Unfortunately,
not me but well happy so far. GLA
.... all my ideas were good as this share performance. Hope I've not jinxed myself now. GLA
Perfect for AHT and presumably explains today's gain.
Rylidan I know the feeling, we all can relate to that. Years ago I used to deal AHT around 600 then sold up everything. Recently back in and doing ok but.....if only I'd held, doh
Anyway, GLA. Oh, and today's news doesn't seem to have hurt the sp, today at least. Have fun
UK Turnover for 9 months of £444m up £79m but profits have only moved up by £1m - a 1.2% drop through! Equally they state that 25% of the £444m is DOH ( dept of health) revenues - this equates to £111m. This is unlikely to be there next year so all needs replacing to stand still! Some troubling times ahead for the business and probably the need for significant cost reduction to avoid the business becoming loss making
You have got to admire the performance of the US business but the Uk business has gone backwards over the past 3 years in spite of many acquisitions adding turnover but no incremental profit. Update is due tomorrow and I am sure the UK business will be getting lots of praise but one has to recognise that over £50m of their annual turnover is taken up by COVID work which you will need to strip out to get a true underlying performance - next year they will lose this revenue. They also appear to have been on a massive recruitment drive adding lots of cost to the business. My concern is without replacing this revenue the bottom line will be severely dented. The positive news is that the UK business is an irrelevance in the grand scheme of things
I've always regretted reducing or selling my best performing shares. Especially when they are longterm excellent performers like AHT
GOLDMAN SACHS INITIATES ASHTEAD GROUP WITH 'BUY' - TARGET 5100 PENCE
Barclays reiterates overweight with a target price of 4,340p.
Not bad for a day trade! :-) wish all my decisions worked out like this! Seriously though, I won't be buying back unless it falls a good deal further than this.
Matt Looking like a good decision ...for today at least. Maybe a good time to top up of course? Now, where did I put that crystal ball ;-)
Astonishing run despite the pandemic. I'm reducing my position today into this strength - taking about one third of my holding out. I bought most of my shares below £12, so happy to take some profit. Great company but stock price leaves no room at all for any disappointment. I'd buy them back at £30.
Jeez!
Shame about the last 90 minutes but I'll take 2% rise. Also, buyers 50% more than sellers . Wonder what happened at 15.00hrs? Could be limit sells ?
We are having (another) impressive day !
? What? For months people have said this had topped out and yet..... on it goes. Yep, research and best ideas from this BB are all sound arguments for the rise so why not keep rising. ATB
All time high...woohoo! Don't drop will ya..
Be nice to reach the all time high today... wouldn't it ?
I am optimistic. It's been reported that in the hearts and minds stakes, infrastructure spending is the low hanging fruit for Biden. Trump's promises were largely just hot air with no follow through. Other than the infamous wall for which Mexico was to pay!
