Blog Post: Diploma (DPLM) and Return on Capital hTTps://www.sharesoc.org/blog/company-news/diploma-dplm-return-capital/
Seems very solid. Been in here for almost exactly 12 months, up from 899 to 1182 (+31.4%) and a reasonable dividend too. What's not to like!
I like Diploma. Held since November 2012, last time I checked it had given me 21% CAGR on a total return basis and the dividend has increased around 10% CAGR. A quality company under the radar of too many!

so the fall continues... ?
Engineer Diploma (DPLM) has been upgraded after a ‘disproportionate’ share price fall. http://citywire.co.uk/money/the-expert-view-taylor-wimpey-thomas-cook-and-shire/a858559?ref=citywire-money-latest-news-list#i=3 Peel Hunt analyst Henry Carver upgraded his recommendation from ‘hold’ to ‘buy’ but reduced the target price from 760p to 690p. The shares surged 17.8% to 716p yesterday. ‘2015 results show that trading has been tough and organic growth harder to come by,’ he said. ‘We see no pick up in the near-term but good cash flow and a strong balance sheet supports further growth from acquisitions, where management has an excellent track record. ‘We think the shares have fallen disproportionately on wider sector sentiment: Diploma is a best in class distributor and these results reassure us of the strength of the model. ‘Our new target price of 690p equates to 17x our new 2016 estimated earnings per share of 40.1p against a three-year historic average of 17.3x; the shares currently trade on 15.3x and yield 3%.’
Questor Diploma shares surge 18pc higher http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/questor/11999344/Questor-share-tip-Diploma-shares-surge-18pc-higher.html The FTSE 250-listed company has a strong track record and is well diversified, says Questor
Full year results indicate great growth, increased profit, net cash and dividend. If it wasnt for the currently strong pound growth would have been huge Company have made some good purchass and have plenty of cash to takeover even more business
Any idea why this is dragging so low. Have i missed something?
FWIW… i was introduced to this firm approx 15 years ago. The then ceo's mantra of business management etc remains at their core, Its a fabulously run company… that started life as a laundry business !
mms going for stops to trade this up imo vbl all zooom
Recent slide in the SP would be a good time to top up, since recent broker ratings suggest this stock will come into the spotlight of many investors due to the low price. Dividends increasing should also boost the share price.
fantastic results on the way and a bumper divi to great solid share zoom
another cracking update coming gla zoom
Does anyone have a perspective on this company? Bought back in March up about 10 percent since then. They seem to grow each year and p/e ratio seems ok.

The Group's results for the six months ending 31 March 2013 will be announced on Monday, 13 May 2013....... The Group has a robust balance sheet and has a proven track record of strong cash generation. At 31 March 2013 the Group will be in a strong net cash position, after payments of ca. £1.5m on acquisitions during the half year, seasonal working capital outflows and capital investment in the businesses.

"Specialist distributor Diploma (DPLM) delivered another impressive full-year performance, thanks to a solid contribution from its seals business where adjusted operating profits rose 37 per cent to £20.4m. Sales were particularly strong in the North American after-market business, which helped drive the adjusted operating margins there up from 18.6 per cent to 20.4 per cent. Add that to a hefty dividend hike and the shares remain attractive."
The specialised technical products and services provider has net funds of £7.9m. Chief Executive Bruce Thompson said: "Diploma has delivered another year of strong double-digit growth in revenues and profits, by a combination of 'GDP plus' levels of organic growth and contributions from a number of good quality, value-enhancing acquisitions." "During the year, we have also made significant progress in making the investments in the facilities, IT systems and management resources needed to lay the robust foundation for continued growth in the next five year period." "The group is well placed to make further progress during the new financial year."
Continued strength at its seals business helped Diploma post revenue in line with company expectations for the year. Revenue in seals, which supplies components and kits for heavy machinery and industrial equipment, hydraulic seals, gaskets and cylinders, climbed 13% after particularly strong from its North American aftermarket. Its life sciences division contributed 5% to the group performance after good sales of capital equipment in first half. The controls businesses saw 2% growth after it was held back by reduced activity in Continental Europe and UK Food & Beverage. Group pre-tax profit rose 17% to £46m in the year ended September 30th while revenue increased 13% to £260.2m. Adjusted pre-tax profit climbed 17% to £52.6m. Underlining its confidence in future trading, the full year dividend has been increased 20% to 14.4p.
Diploma: Jefferies raises target price from 510p to 520p, buy rating remains unchanged.
Specialised technical products and services provider Diploma expects results for the year to the end of September will be in line with market consensus. Revenues are tipped to be around 13% ahead of the previous year, with underlying revenues advancing by some 6%. Fourth quarter revenues are set to be 5% higher year-on-year, maintaining the pace of growth seen in the third quarter. Strong cash flows in the final quarter of the year will result in year end net cash being strongly positive, Diploma said. Operating margins have eased in the second half of the financial year from the first half, but are still ahead of the prior year.
