The shares are difficult to buy, not many on offer, and I heard that an institution is trying to build a stake based on year end 2007 and Q1 announcement that the Group has had its best ever first quarter meeting 25% of its annual profits target rather than the 20% that it has managed over the past years. If you look at trades over the past 5 weeks some are quite big - 250K, 500K, 1M.
(Real time price ADVFN) Quote from the man himself........... Chime too is rocketing today. It's bought back a lot of shares and one broker has slapped a 48p target on it. I can't figure out why it's not up at the 40p level. On top of that a good statement and a consolidation coming up. What's not to like? Nice gains today. More to come and I'm glad I made a stop loss exception for this.
Pre-tax profits climbed 25% to £13.8m as revenue rose to £206.6m from £164.1m. “Another terrific year,” chairman Lord Bell said. “Double digit growth across the board and no sign of any slowdown in the first quarter of 2008, nor for that matter the rest of the year.”
Hard to get in so "At Best" but still got same price. Been watching this ever since "Naked Trader" (Robbie) bought into this co at his seminar a month or so ago, we voted this as one of our top 3 buys.
It is £0.60 or 60p !!!
Hmmm - don't think that £2.20 is the issue at the present time. The real question is when will it see £0.60 - £0.70p. On a 7.5 multiple its a steal for its sector and its major niche stance should see it through most of the troubled waters many marketing services groups will experience. I think that we'll see this stock back at £0.60p by late summer a 100% percent gain hence the strong buy that echo's most of the better quality newspapers and city analysts in this sector.
Public relations and marketing group Chime Communications posted a 29% increase in profits last week and said it saw no sign of a slowdown in business, but investors took a different view last week and marked the stock down. The company's strong balance sheet and discount to other media companies makes the sell-off look overdone. >> Long-term buyers at 30p could reap rewards.
Dragged down by the recent notice from Media Square, general market antipathy to this sector and day traders selling silly parcels of shares with transactions around £100 - £200. The company seems to have a balanced organic and acquisitive growth plan and its prelims released on Tuesday are excellent. Much of its work appears to be political and public sector across borders which would insulate it from the current depressed economic conditions.
any Ideas why this share price seems to be going sideways
Looking more closely, plenty of cash in the balance sheet as well, so some fun to come. It’s a medium – long term one, but while it’s cheep I’ve stocked up to add a decent foundation to my portfolio. Thanks for your help!
Lord Bell's crew - someone is going to make an absolute killing including me. Just waiting for a trading statement - they bought some really useful companies in the past two years including one of the biggest Sports Marketing Co's in Europe, the group is the biggest PR co in the UK and probably Europe and PR is cooking on gas all around the World. Expect significant profits increase which will make today's PE (10.13) look very silly. At this price (£0.32p) its a no risk steal.
Gang – Anybody watching this one?
