Sp topped at resistance from significant overhead supply from previous trading at 110. Chart shows the volatility based top Bollinger band going sideways for 5 days, which on previous occasions signified a top in the sp and subsequent decline in sp. Negative divergence in RSI(relative strength index), implies upward price momentum is dropping.Support level is 96.5-100, based on previous trading peaks. DYOR.

Slightly worried to see headcount and profits falling throughout the world. Old recruitment model not working? Dividend to stop soon maybe

Or maybe out at 99p and now back in again. 5% is 5%.
I can't see this going near 50p myself, (though 85p wouldn't be a surprise).
You bought to soon, celebrate when your in at 50p...
Yay….in at 94p…
Solid company, dirk knows it!!! gla
Got my buy order in at 99p. This share doesn’t normally close below a quid.

Due to Robert Walters reporting grim forecast. This has also impacted Page Group.
Oy! Why the big drop? No news. Big seller?

It’s 25p up from the 90p call. I see this slowly getting stronger but very slowly but definitely heading North
Think we will see 90p and below as soon as 100p broken...
Dartron
Hope I'm wrong and you're right but Isn't the total dividend 9.24?
That's what I've booked down in my ledger
At just over £1.00!recently these were a fantastic price given the results and dividends. In a few years these will look really cheap prices. All recruitment suffering on a suspected slowdown but a shortage of workers will prove critical to recruitment shares bouncing back
Ex date 29th September. Total disbursement 10.19p per share. Paid 11 November.

Bit of a ramp. The other side loads of businesses going out of business - limits revenue coming in and slows growth.
Interesting times of high inflation. How will that impact the increase on wages? The higher the wages the higher the commission (is a % of the wages of the introduced temp. employee), the higher therevenue of the agency.
Can't loose.

I bought some time ago on the basis that during inflationary times, commish merchants , be they banks , insurance brokers or recruitment agents, will be ok…on top of that, in good and bad times , commission driven employees work harder .
Mr g I'm with you on that one, at the moment and probably for the next 18 months recruitment Companies will be working their buts off so fees will keep coming for at least 12 months.
These results are astounding so what's not to like for next 6 months at least, by the way I'm invested in hays no bull sit like some
In normal times I agree that recession is bad for recruitment. But the world hasn't got much excess labour at the moment. Most sectors are under staffed. The energy crisis will soon be over and the world will bounce back well before the recruitment sector cools down.
Peaky are you invested here or just a sideliner comenting ?
Recruitment Will fall during a recession.
As long as it’s cash rather than an announcement of another share buyback programme// abdn, lloy etc. , happy days.

As across the piece with share buybacks see LLOY, ABDN ETC. , Hays buybacks doing absolutely nothing for shareholders…voted against last time given the chance, will vote against next time..would be nice if institutional investors would do the same.
As a reminder, the Board will add any residual amount of our share buyback programme to our £100 million cash buffer when calculating any FY22 special dividend.
Record growth, high profit and a solid future outlook due to a tight job market. What more can Hays do to encourage a Sp rise? Special dividend?

more like, share buybacks avoid having to give higher divi..which may not be maintainable...thus avoiding bad PR when the divi has to be cut back. HAS has given special payments before so would rather they did that than waste shareholder profits on buybacks
Maybe share buybacks are a genius move. A shorter can guarantee that someone will buy their dumped shares. The buyer gets a cheaper deal and can take more shares from the market. The shorter knows when the seller plans to stop buying and can clear off just before. Leaving the SP to take a natural upward course.
another company that thinks share buybacks are better than dividends...and is it helping their share price? not a lot.
this is starting to rise now, with all the good news. gla.
Another record quarter. SP still stuck in the wrong direction!
Hays has everything going for it but the share price is not going anywhere. Struggling to stay above the 52wk low. Yet the job market is the best its been for many years. Bonkers!

Great results today.
SP reflects this.

added a few, alas, before low yesterday...bought these as an inflation play.
8.59% in the end. What didn't they like? Mind you that's how it's been/is. Everything selling off. Brutal market at the moment.
Hays positive trading statement...SP down 6.4% and counting, obviously.
