I tend to agree - still highly successful company
DYOR before buying
Correction far too excessive
I invested here 18 months ago, building up my investment as I tried to understand the company. I sold when I realised I really didn't understand the business or what was likely to drive growth from one year to the next.
As with all of my abandoned forays I watch and learn from a distance. The CEO selling last Feb was interesting but there can be many reasons for a director to sell - not in itself a clear sign of anything. The CEO resigning was more worrying. Today we learn that one of it's customers (ConvaTec) accounting for $30m pa of revenue has terminated a contract. Looking back at the recent finals update there's no mention of ConvaTec.
I prefer my investments less opaque.
Is 204 million less on the market cap and generating more profits. Crazy this stock market game how was this at 500 million mc :-)
But I will stay clear 279 million pound mc with 118 net assets and 75 million of intangibles and now profits will now take a significant hit.
Long term this has good potential but will not buy until it settles
40% down now, tried several times to buy but no joy so far :(
Oops, down 30% due to loss of a contract :(
Quite possible that the recent volume of sells was Heejae Chae cashing in before departure after all he had over 1mil shares earlier this year.
Tipped in Saturdays Mail by Beckett. Lucky for new investors at the low price it is just now. But for how long, it's been oversold on departure of CEO.
Then again lots of volume may have a reason?
Big sells today might fall further :(
Is this the bounce point?
I got off but was surprised by the dip after the results. I struggled to get a clear view of the business and prospects. I guess it's one for the traders not me.
Looking at the 3 months Scapa Share Graph reminds me of watching the "BIG ONE" at Blackpool yesterday. Should we pluck up courage and get onboard?
After what I thought was poor wording in the trading update last month, and the market seemed to agree, Scapa have come good with 18.2p EPS. Well ahead of the broker forecasts. Londoner7
Following the trading update broker forecasts for EPS are now around 17.26p, up from 16.5p, for a 17% gain on last year. Londoner7
Tones, the usual summer lull. Many of this years top gainers had a pull back. I've been following this company for a few months but felt it was too rich. The recent pullback prompted me to look again. I liked what I saw and opened a position. Yesterday's Capital Day presentation seems to have been well received by the market. The presentation is a bit dry going through the slides alone, but gave me a better appreciation of the company's business and the strength/value of partnerships in the industry. The co-presentation from a market leader like J&J wont hurt sentiment. It's clear from the presentation that Scapa have come a long way in recent years but - important to me as a late entrant - also clarity on the route to further progress. Londoner7
Not surprised by some correction to share price after a rapid ascent to dizzy heights of 521.5p. However the fall continues and is some 21% up to press. Sterling's appreciation meanwhile against the dollar is ca 10% which obviously accounts for a prospective profits dent but the price fall does'nt fully reflect this. Only other news is change of major shareholding by takeover of Hargreaves Hale by Canaccord and of course the Brexit worries. Any ideas?
Scapa sits nicely in my p/f and I feel the price could go an awful lot higher. I have no worries on S****a Regards
looks like there hasn't been much going on on this board for quite a while. SCPA seems to be moving up slowly and steadily. I see that Berenberg have a price target of 470p for this share, so still plenty of upside. http://www.digitallook.com/news/broker-recommendations/berenberg-tips-asos-and-scapa-among-15-small-and-mid-cap-stock-picks--2519009.html
"We have delivered another set of strong results which are ahead of expectations as we execute our strategies for Healthcare and Industrial. Notwithstanding challenging global market conditions, we remain confident of achieving further progress through organic growth and acquisitions." Scapa expects to report its full year results on 24 May 2016.
Very sad for Flowgroup to have these sad posters linked to it.
