Up bright & early .... looking for profits north of £25M eps north of 50p. Key will be the 2011 estimates as a re-trace is factored in by analysts.....http://www.growthcompany.co.uk/news/1310268/golden-update-from-handt.thtml....... suspect we will have fun day tomorrow with lots of spikes in the SP.
liveprice just jumped to 337 to buy good news for tomorro!!! Wey hey!!!
Thanks for the link!! Think this is a forgone conclusion the share price will go up on good results tomorro, the price of gold at present and people looking for cash when skint increasing the amount of pawnbroking that theres only one way this share price is oing after tomorros results!
Comments from CNBC this AM plugging HAT......................... http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=1834448776&play=1
Good results from them should lift share price!!
Pawnbroker H&T Group (HAT) expects pre-tax profit for the year ended 31st December 2010 will be above the top end of current market expectations, driven by continued success in the gold purchasing market and significantly increased profit from pawnbroking scrap. The company, whose services also include cheque cashing, payday advances and unsecured loans, said all business segments are expected to show year-on-year growth in gross profit. It added that gold purchasing profits rose "materially" on 2009 levels, supported by the continued rise in the sterling price of gold.
Not surprised that HAT is close to my target of £3.40. The way Artimis is stakebuilding seems like we might get an offer sometime soon ........ like one of my fellow posters observed a proper decent company....... good growing divi , right segment. With QE2 about to launch suspect that anything tangible (that cannot be magic'ed up) will grow (ie GOLD).
Looks as if the smart money is riding on gold as there are plenty of non believers out there re the deflation argument. Looks to me that we might see a spike in inflation soon (2011).... just what the BOE is working towards ... inflating the debt away. HAT seems one of the safer ports to be in ......... Reckon it will hit £3.40 before year end. Time will tell if I am right.
This has always been a proper, decent complany - looks like others are starting to realise this too now... Go on the HATS!!
Excellent results inc special dividend. Well done to all holders !
down 6% earlier today - now up 6%.
anyone around know what's happened to these? they've dropped from 250 to 225 in a straight line in the space of 2 days, and i see the spread has gone right out to almost 15%...must be a reason for both surely? i can find no news or announcements here or on the company webby. any ideas?
Could not get 220, lowest I managed was 229, then it shot back up. My average is circa 245 so thats me for now. Seems a good bet given that Gold is likely to rocket and the imminent 'bad news' budget. 300 is my target though some brokers are saying mid 300's. Just look @ the PE 6.78.
Looking to buy into HAT...... not yet though as it looks as if £2.20 might be a target ( once divi is paid )..... Cracking company in the right segment given the future of the UK economy post the election..... Also get the feeling that the GOLD price might have another 'spurt'.... I am sure that once this is on the rise £3 is a reasonable target....
Yes, I thought as much. I usually don’t respond to those who post in “inane text speak” ATB
Pray, why?
I posted on the ABM BB, that the pawnbroker yesterday reported that half-year profit rose to £6.2m. [19%] It raised its interim dividend to 2.25p [12.5%] HAT is its counterpart.
They are another one seem to be tracking back up will do ok as your logic says - not sure of relative market share ive been in ABM for a while they pay a divi too
