Might be excellent investment for you All I can see is this thing keep dropping for no apparent reason for more than a week now. It has shed almost 10% of its value. is that a normal behaviour for this share :-)?
Another 12 month high, continues to be an excellent investment.
Excellent update from HALMA and contains just the sorts of things I wanted to hear - they seem to keep doing what they do quietly, efficiently and robustly - it's been largely resistant to Covid issues - this has been a share that keeps on giving
Now . . . if only they could improve the dividend yield . . . .
Hope nobody followed OLIG in to FEVR, ouch.
I tend to look at 1,2 and 3 months positive momentum before I invest.
Well HLMA certainly has momentum if you look at the 5 year share chart. What's the minimum period of time you consider when evaluating whether a share has momentum?
OLIG, I'll be honest, I don't know why momentum works but it does in the majority of cases. I agree that fundamentals in the long term will determine what will happen to the share price but the problem is that nobody knows what the future holds. Unless you know something that the market doesn't you are probably better following the market.
OWLS, I’m guessing you are more of a trader than I am. However, the trouble with buying a share on momentum is knowing when that momentum runs out. You say it was a good share when it had momentum i.e. in September last year when it peaked at £40. So why was it good then but not good now when I can buy the same share for less than half that? In the long term it’s the fundamentals of the business that matter. If it grows at 20% a year for the next few years as I suspect it will, it won’t be long before its back to £40. In the mean time it might be volatile as the market tries to work at its value.
OLIG, I bought Halma on the basis of positive momentum. My concern with Fevertree would be is the big fall in the SP over the last few months (down 31% in the last 3 months), although a slight bounce today. It was a good share when it had momentum behind it but not so sure now.
I don't want to plug other shares on this board but on the same day I invested equally in Halma, Fevertree and GB Group. I was basically looking for UK companies with strong growth stories that were not too small. I.e. big enough not be easily blown off course and to have a strong track record but not so big as to struggle to attain double digit growth. Finally they had to be reasonably priced and not over geared. My plan is to be a long term holder of all 3.
Nice One Olig - I was hoping to follow your lead and get in on this one, but missed the boat whilst dropping the little one off at school :((((
Any other snippets you come up with please let me know lol
Nice. Next time I will be in on this one.
Wow I wish all my investments got off to a start like this.
This is a quiet board for such an exciting company. Interim results are out in 11 days, what are people expecting? I've just invested in this one after doing a little research. It originally came to my attention because Smithson is invested and they know their apples. Difficult to value but they have a good growth story and in the long run that's the most important thing in my opinion.
Are they buying or selling? Can't work it out from the holdings RNS
£18 Surely soon
No limit here go halma go
Looking good for £16 great share great consistant company
A little bit shyer now... Seen on the 5 year chart this looks like a correction down to the normal progression and if it drops a bit more I see myself adding HLMA to my portfolio.
SS

One broker has knocked themselves out with this price re-rating: Stifel raises Halma's target price to 1275p from 1260p
Good rise today signalling a breakout from 1000p. Although it's a buy, the upside is limited.
