42p paid...and why not?
tp must be 70p+ imv
yep, promising
Well that was out of the blue.https://www.investegate.co.uk/holders-technology--hdt-/rns/holders-technology-data-analytics/202010020700028603A/ A tie in with Sentistic signals ambition and growth potential, well done HDT! GL all.
I've kept my eye on this for weeks because I could see this had potential. The fact it has swung to a small loss doesn't concern me given what happened is hopefully a complete one-off, and I'm impressed by how they improved the amount of cash in the bank, and maintained the dividend, but this outlook statement below is very underwhelming! I'm certainly not going to be investing for now but best of luck to you all those here. I may be proven wrong!
"At present we have only limited visibility as to the likely level of trading in the second half of the year. We are encouraged by recent improvements in some divisions, both in quotations and order intake, as compared to the first half but cannot be certain that this will follow through to the end of the year. Our management team and work force remain committed to managing costs and containing working capital, so that the business may benefit from any improvement in trading conditions."
yep, it's weirdly difficult to build up a decent holding
tp 80p ++
Not enough shares to go round here; I'm still waiting for my near 3 week old order to be fulfilled. I can sell but why would I want to do that? A tightly run, profit making firm (dyor etc) hopefully equipped to deal with the inevitable hard times ahead. Let's see. GL holders(!), spectators.
45p paid
large sell cleared
42p paid
Hi, Are there any shareholders in Holders here? Thoughts about the latest report?
seem to be doing relatively ok but I have to question why the company is on aim at all, there doesnt seem to be any advantage for the associated cost, interested but always a risk of them going private
I came across this share by chance last night. My first impression is that it seems to be rather unique. A very small cap yet it pays a dividend and has cash in the bank. I intend to do a bit more research and my gut feeling is this may be worth a punt for the long term. I would be interested to hear what others may think? Regards, Seedcorn. DYOR as always.
This was after revenue grew to GBP12.2 million from GBP10.7 million the year before. Profit performance was also helped by the lack of restructuring costs in the year compared to GBP116,000 the year prior. Holders proposed a flat 0.25 pence per share final dividend. For the full year, the dividend also remained flat at 0.50 pence per share. "Our German PCB operations, the largest single element of the group, had a successful year with satisfactory growth from both existing and new product lines," Executive Chairman Rudi Weinreich said. "Investments were made in machinery and improved systems during the year and we plan further investment in 2018." "UK PCB operations achieved encouraging revenue growth from a number of new product lines. The directors expect modest revenue improvement in 2018," Weinreich continued. "The LED divisions both had stronger second halves in 2017 with the UK division, in particular, substantially improving its performance," Weinreich added. "The product range continues to develop with smart lighting controls a key focus for the future. Both divisions were profitable in the second half of the year." "On behalf of the board I would like to record our thanks to all of our staff for their hard work during 2017 which resulted in a profitable year for the group," Weinreich said. "With 2017 seeing a return to profitability the board and management team remain fully committed to achieving further improvement in both sales and profitability in 2018 and beyond." Shares in Holders were 19% higher at 40.00 pence on Friday.
Holders Technology announced on Friday that it has returned to profitability, with profits after tax of �17,000 for the year to the end December, compared with a loss of �395,000 in 2016. The lighting tools, equipment and materials provider achieved a 12% increase in revenues to �12.2m over the year and benefited from not spending on restructuring which had cost the company a total of �116,000 in 2016. Restructuring efforts and sales recruitment from 2016 appeared to have had a positive impact but almost half of the company's revenue growth stemmed from the euro strengthening against the sterling. Rudi Weinrich, executive chairman of Holders Technology, said: "In my last Annual Statement, I reported that a number of changes were being made to the Group's management and sales teams and that along with this, further investments in PCB machinery were being made. The aim of these measures was to enable the Group to return to profitability and I am very pleased to be able to report that the Group did achieve an operating profit for the year of �65,000 from continuing operations." The company's German PCB divisions, which constitute the largest single element of the group, saw revenues rise 14% to �9.5m, again largely thanks to the strengthening of the euro which accounted of �0.6m of the revenue growth. Holders technologies' LED divisions also saw improvement with revenues increasing 17% to �2.8m and operating losses reduced by 60% to �92,000. "The LED divisions both had stronger second halves in 2017 with the UK division, in particular, substantially improving its performance. The product range continues to develop with smart lighting controls a key focus for the future. Both divisions were profitable in the second half of the year," said Weinrich. The AIM-traded company declared a total dividend of 0.50p per share, unchanged from 2016, holds no debt and has cash balances of �579,000.

Net assets at interims were 92p per share. Excerpts from interim report:- PCB sales in the period increased by 14% from �4,014,000 in 2016 to �4,577,000, and PCB margins increased by 2.8% to 23.9%. Our continuing PCB activities, in the UK and Germany, benefitted from improved market conditions and achieved an increase in sales in the period. Both divisions saw some additional benefit from recently introduced products and a continuing gain from production efficiencies. We continue to invest in improvements both to our IT systems and production equipment. Taken together, the continuing LED divisions achieved improved margins during the period and experienced encouraging customer reaction to recently introduced new products in the smart lighting field. PCB activities, which comprise some 80% of the Group, were ahead of our expectations in the first half and should be well placed for the balance of the year. We expect our LED divisions in the second half of the year to see the benefit of a lower overall cost base and a positive impact from the smart lighting technologies we are now able to offer. Options on a sliding scale basis up to �1

rading Update 10 October 2014 Holders Technology plc ("Holders" or "Company") has been notified by a major PCB supplier that the distribution agreement between it and the Company will be terminated on terms to be agreed during the next financial year. In the 9 month period to 30 September 2014 this contract contributed approximately 10 per cent. of group revenue. The loss of the contract can be mitigated by alternative strategies and cost reduction measures, however the timing and value of these actions is uncertain and there may be a material impact on the performance of the company in the financial year ending 30 November 2015.
This SP is a long way down from three years ago, can it recover? Will it recover? What actions?
