I have to say the fact the final and special divi are in november is a positive for me as it will smooth my pension income. Most finals seem to be in the summer
Agreed. I work at Hays and have invested maximum amount into my share save.
Seems to have dropped into a trading range over the last 11 months or so. Seems a good time to grab a few in advance of ex div date
Supremely. I look in here every day
This looks like an active board
.... figures look good yet well down. Do we blame Brexit?
Hoping for a 5p rise on Thursday
Ahead of management report
Ahead of market expectations,
Very good results from HAS. Targeting net debt is always good to hear. I am sure the Directors & Board are enjoying the journey. It would be nice for the shareholders to enjoy the growing financial success too with increases in dividend over and above the current paltry 2.5%. A bit and a bit (debt & dividend) would be a preferable way forward
The Telegraph's share tips for 2016 2:44PM GMT 26 Dec 2015 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/12069867/The-Telegraphs-share-tips-for-2016.html Against a backdrop of plummeting oil prices, the prospect of higher interest rates and the uncertainty that a Brexit vote brings, our experts pick out the companies best positioned to weather the storm and deliver a winning return for investors in the year ahead
Should see another rise next week when the employment figures come out.
Nice rise today.
thanks for the responses , I trade mostly too , every day , I do nothing else. 150p( ish) is my next chart support level and indeed it would form a double bottom , that would be another entry level for me . Note that every position I take is a fraction of the amount of cash I can lose . Has to be . I usually prefer to layer my bets at .618 or .764 fib retraces if broken on a trending stock I'll wait for the next support level , on sub 200p stocks as realistically there is only so much one can lose unlike FX where a strict stop loss is more important . I am down 4.5p so far so its well within my drawdown tolerance , whereas on FX it would have closed me out already .
180 is still a reasonable target. It reached this level back in 2007/8, but now this company has more potential now that they are in US and have acquired few good companies.
soon ? Pretty much hit a few strong support levels today . But no sign of catching a bid so far . Though in fairness volumes are really low vs average . I am in at 157.5 as I thought it would retrace from a fib retrace perspective , but so far I am being proven wrong . Trend still looking good so am hoping this is a classic wobble. May add at 150 should we get there . Stil have a 180 target
After my initial post I decided this was a non-buy (I'm just dealing in a fantasy terms at the moment). Reasoning was I noticed the Broker rating change gave the price a few % boost. That would swallow up most of the gains you could expect from all the but the most amazing trading update. Just my thoughts, which happened, for once, to be somewhat correct!
After a strong third quarter showing, recruiter Hays said it now expects to deliver stronger operating profit growth for the full year, with second half operating profits slightly ahead of the first. In the three months to 31 March net fees increased 5% on a headline basis and 8% on a like-for-like basis against the prior year.
That's actually a better news. At least there will be another chance to break the 1.65 resistance.
Its tomorrow. I never trust any Financial Calendars without double checking the company website http://www.hays.com/investors/financial-calendar/index.htm
The drop would be due to profit taking as the SP is above the 52 week high. However, Bank of America has upgraded this share now and have recommended with a buy rating with 190pence.
IMS - any update? And why sharp drop from 170?
I thought the IMS was supposed to come out today but nothing is flashing flashing on the RNS?
Expecting a breakout above 165 ish tomorrow, so have gone long this afternoon for the morning.
After 3 months away, i have just bought back into HAS.. I also agree the 7% drop yesterday was unexplainable and nuts... and then as it was down another 1% today I got in... looks like I might have got it at its low... here is hoping it can return to 160+ again very soon.
