Not = Now !!
I notice on the Advfn shorters thread just about all posters have changed their view and praise the last update and are not suggesting buying.
Agreed- let focus on considered analysis. Anyone have view on 2016 financial performance ?
Let's not turn this forum into an abusive free-for-all, similar to that found on Speedy.
Wondered where you had gone !! Update was the exact opposite of what you were telling everyone.... Next year this looks a brilliant investment at these low low levels...
Do you always talk to yourself?
Think there is still time to get in for value here. Not sure sub 70p for long....
Thought we might see 60p plus today as people forecast EBITDA, cash flow and profits into 2016 based on recent updates. Bit subdued but expect buy demand into early next week after weekend.
According to Dakota Financial consensus broker target following updates this week is 86.6p. Seems a reasonable short term target and many brokers may upgrade as share price rises IMHO DYOR
People beginning to digest yesterday's update and likely rise in profits etc into 2016. Would expect quick rise back to the 60 to 65p trading range we saw a few days ago.
Peel Hunt also just issued an add recommendation.. Profit and cash flow boosts expected in2017
Numis maintain add recommendation and expects healthy boost to profits in 2016
Why don't HSS and Speedy merger ? Cost savings and profit boost would be massive and cash flows would quickly create a strong balance sheet and debt reduction .... Would be great for a Speedy.
I think many are watching, depending on risk appetite not a bad move. There is a bit to go in the improvement journey but I think 2016 with a full year contribution from acquisitions, further increases in efficiency with new distribution centre, growing turnover and asset utilisation and strong cash flow generation 2016 should be a strong turn around year. Interesting to see broker comments over next few weeks.. Ultimately consolidation in the sector may occur to be leverage fixed cost bases.
Be patient my friend, the mugs are those who don't spot this opportunity :...
On the face of it, it does sound positive, but no real reaction in the market. Personally, I'm still not sure and might wait for full year results... but then if HSS proves to be undervalued, it will be too late to get in for any big rise. Think I'll continue to watch for the time being and see which way this moves.
''draw in the mugs'' and then ''pulls the rug from beneath there feet''
Patience required here my friend, not a short term play
Admire your enthusiasm but market obviously not impressed!!
Also excellent news that trading in September has turned around from previous months, looking very good for 2016 imho.
Wow - a brilliant trading update with revenue growing, asset utilisation increasing and set to increase even more, very well funded, very strong EBITDA that is set to improve. Also delivered on cost savings and substantially more cost savings and efficiency improvements planned. Well done to all who kept faith ......I am in for a load more at these prices this morning.
0sbprnes house building plans, 400,000 new homes up to 2020 should benefit HSS.
hope so mate not been a good year for me lost on afren and cash tied up so could do with a nice little turn around in at 57p so loss at mo see what next few weeks bring. on up beat will be in lovely sun this time next week whole month so hope for better new year
well it can go two ways, up or down, do we really expect them to come out with good news?
Big day tomorrow. Hopefully see the price rocket up......
