Mmmmmmm another more recent articles from Feb 2018.......let's hope these clowns are more informed than the other clowns https://www.youinvest.co.uk/sharesmagazine/2018-02-08/snap-up-laird-before-the-market-wakes-up-to-its-turnaround
Let's hope the management announce a strong dividend policy to support the SP. It's still a mystery as to the drop from 165p to 110p following the Q3 statement in October without any official statement from the BOD? Can only assume market makers have been manipulating things to shake out PI's. There's quite a bit more chatter on the ADVFN board....
I suppose they get paid to print all sorts of rubbish. The Auditors are even worse. Did anybody see KPMG & Deloittes at the Parliamentary select committee|?> Rachel Reeves asked the KPMG Audit partner, so did Qatar owe Carillion $200 million or did Carillion owe Qatar $200 million. He wasnt sure (probably gets paid �1 million personally for his Audit services). The previous Finance Director a Mr Adams who spoke very slowly wasnt very sure what happened but sold off his entire shareholding on retiring and thought contribution into Pension funds was a waste of time. The new finance Director Zafar Khan (lasted 8 months) was sacked for bringing to the Boards attention the dire state of the Company These guys are a complete con but there is no punishment except they pocket millions while the shareholders and ordinary employees lose out. That is capitalism!!
Whoops l put the same joke on twice....lol....here's the other joke...... https://www.***************************/laird-plc-12-5-potential-upside-indicated-by-jp-morgan-cazenove/412738869
I thought it would be funny to post another recent joke (expert opinion...lol)....... https://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/tech/lse-lrd/laird-shares/news/why-laird-plc-lonlrd-could-be-a-buy/
It just goes to show, never take any notice of so called experts......lol..... https://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/tech/lse-lrd/laird-shares/news/why-laird-plc-lonlrd-could-be-a-buy/
Laird. My opinion for what it�s worth, is that most of the market has come off of recent highs. Lots of large cap companies out there that are on cheap valuations and offering good divis. The shares traded daily on Laird looks to me like the Algos just turning volume, small, nothing. Recent article about Apple drying up has increased the sell side on no volume. In between Q3 and Q4 the bots are therefore making the most of the news void to the sell side.Apple has regained most of its loses , laird should also. It�s just a rotation with unfortunately no buyers for Laird at present. Personally, I am not concerned, I view it as a buying opportunity, not that I am topping up. On the bigger picture the short term view is interest rate rises which are tiny in comparison to the bigger picture that is the economy is ticking along with no great catastrophes in the pipeline. At the end of the day every company listed is over anyalised and investors would not bother investing as the short term broker notes unfortunately seem to forget that most investors invest for the longer term. We have no alternative than to believe the guidance given to us after Q3, so I am happy to stick with it.
There's no point issuing Q4 results..the management have already leaked them IMHO as reflected in the spiralling SP. Mars bars all round..
so they are changing direction to connected vehicles and stabilising wireless ((IE in view of lower income from Apple)
Better pop out now and get that Mars bar and come back without a shirt and trousers
From 375p in March 2016 to 113p is quite a drop. in the value of this company. what a disappointment. Surely, it isnt worth only a third of what it was 2 years back or is it? 10% return on capital employed is not bad but seems to be heading into a storm. Mike Bell has been appointed head of Technology and specialises in Automotive (Driverless cars) so seems like a change in Directions on earnings for the company. I suppose that will be in Chairmans statement with final results
Stifel on 08/02/2018 indicated sale is overdone although Revenue 2018/19 IE post Q4 Results will be lower due to Apple's lower demand. They have lowered price from 160 to 138. Last week if brave ones with liquidity want to buy. There does not seem to be any stake building or major share buys so one does not expect a take over.
Well 1 week from the annual results and we continue to hit new 12 month lows. If the results are anything but what was quoted in the Q3 TU this BOD should be hauled infront of the FCA (and actually punished!); The current company compiled market consensus for underlying profit before tax is �63.3m, with a range from �60.0m to �65.2m
Yet another new low..! The management are definitely letting this go to the wall. 10 days to zero...
Forget the Maserati, by the time this management team are finished running the SP into the ground you'll be lucky if you can afford a Mars bar...
Mind you, even if they lose on shares, they all have sizeable Remuneration and bonuses. There is no governance. Did anybody see the charade by Carillion Directors at the select committee? They all started off by expressing sorrow at what had happened so Frank Field, that willy charactor asked them so with all the pay packets you have got, will anybody write a cheque (for the pensioners) who have lost so much. Absolute silence. The Chairman Philip Green apparently preside at another company which went belly up as well These chaps have no morals There goes my dream of a Maserati.
While Directors have not bought for a year, the CFO Kevin Dangerfield has 63000 shares at around 138p and the CEO has a sizeable amount. I hope the name isnt a giveaway
It's amazing ti watch the SP is continuing to go down hour by hour.....into year low of 113....from 192 despite positive Q3.
Still going down....only 11 days to zero! This must be a FTSE record for the number of down days in a 2 month period. Management have definitely abandoned the shareholders!
12 days to zero.....management have abandoned the shareholders so no hope for good news at Q4 results. Strong sell would appear to be the only verdict here as all other stocks are rising except Laird since the wider market falls, even Telit are going up despite their dollar exposure......Only hope is a takeover IMHO.....
Would I be right in thinking that you are shorting? How many days now to zero? lol
You're right it's very transparent...either the company accountancy firm or someone in the management team have leaked the results to people who have made some serious cash shorting the stock over the past weeks. Of course this is only a conspiracy theory and the potential perpetrator will not be identified.....this is now a definite sell IMHO. Unless of course someone is mad enough to bid for the company again...here's hoping.
Who are you guys trying to fool. It's a bit transparent...
This is a bit worrying for a newbie to this site. Been trying hard to find out about reasons for share price dropping so badly to no avail. Can't find any details of any hostile bid either?? 10 days to go to results and am nervous as hell for my holdings after the recent problems with Carillion
What in heavens name is going on at Laird with share price only 20p above the Rights. What nasty surprises are in the Q4 statement? Other share prices are rising and yet this one is pinned back so close to the announcement and no stake building. At this price somebody should have been building a stake if an offer was to be made. I cant see one coming through except possibly bad news on 01/03/2018
