Usual market over-reaction. Seems to be linked to Investec's decision today to raise (yes, raise) its price target to 295p. https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/buzz-regus-investec-cuts-hold-075232882.html As usual an opportunity to buy!
Dropping like a stone this morning, anyone know of any discernible reason why?
Onwards and upwards. shame all my holdings don't deliver similar performance.
Last August there was some adverse comment when I said the sp was heading towards 260p. Now that level is near, and those who criticised me have missed out on an excellent appreciation, no doubt they wlll find something to comment on regarding my revised 350p target.
A very positive start to the year reported in today's RNS.
http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/financial-director/interview/2393480/interview-regus-cfo-dominique-yates Article from Feb 15 which reinforces the long-term value in RGU.
A calculation based on the reported returns of the mature centres eventually applying to the entire estate, even allowing for an overall future modest decline in returns, points towards a target sp of at least 350p even before factoring in growth in the estate in 2015 and beyond.
Peel Hunt recently increased its traget price on workspace provider Regus to 300p from 275p, which it sees as conservative, suggesting it does not require overly heroic assumptions to find fair value of 630p.

My prediction, profit and EPS will slightly underperform broker forecasts. SP will fall to £2 at which point I will close my short and buy as I expect next year to be slightly ahead of forecasts.
My prediction: The results on 3 March will produce a number of increases in broker targets.
Delighted to see that, at last, Credit Suisse have raised their sp target to 260p, which I first put as a figure on this site some months ago.
It is still going in the right direction :))
Looking good :))
Regus Plc: RBC Capital Markets Retains the stock with “Sector Performer” rating and a target price of 215.00p.
Basking in the rising sp. all I need is my other stakes to follow the same path........
And that remains my view.
And pleased the Market agrees with me!
We're not allowed to give out the live prices on here but fairly flying now. Off on my broomstick to look at new furniture.
Another positive IMS. I remain a long-term investor in this well-managed profitable growth business.
Good one and share price reacting well at the moment. GLA
Price has been moving up with some big buys since the rns announcing that the ims would be released on Hallow'een. Nice increased divi here already banked.
This share will be a great value buy at 1.50. Until then. it's just not that interesting.
OK. I accept I'm the only one who has my view. Just you wait ......(takes football home).
