I bought, got lucky.
:-)
The key question is "Did You're Having a Laugh actually buy any SPT shares at or around 228p?"
Or were they still too expensive?
Nice 6% rise today
It would be nice if you were right as I bought another load at 241 where there was a small retrace from the early 246p high
seems to be strengthening again.
Only an observation that has served me well
Observed many times that with shares good news is met with a spike at the open / backwardation and then traders take profits.
Unfortunately today the FTSE has lost all its gains from earlier so that hits sentiment.
Once the brokers have completed their strategy meetings a 2nd leg up or down becomes apparent around 9/10am.
Too many shares I have reduced on the initial spike only to watch a 2nd spike later in the day.
As an avid follower of SPT, I expect a retrace of the 15%+ drop over the last weeks.
This statement is robust imho and expect the dividend to be marginally increased and another special to be declared.
This will rerate as it is oversold.
Could be wrong of course but my moeny is where my mouth is.
DYOR
Not a recommendation.
Why after 9… what changes then?
I mentioned SPT to my bro in law recently but called it a falling knife so wait before buying.
Maybe now is the moment.
i don't expect anything but i will take what ever comes my way, nice
expecting a 2nd leg up after 9 to the 258p region and then upward into the results towards where is was a week or so back.
should be a steady retrace up towards actual results date and dividend announcements. Duke of Yorkinging over the last week but who knows.
I continue buy on dips.
Adjusted pretax profit of between $113m to $121m So there should be a favourable response from the market when it opens. Worth buying some more as there are no nasty surprises and a far amount of upside.
Group performance
We closed the year with strong performance in the final quarter with several important wins across all parts of the portfolio. This was achieved despite the ongoing global supply chain challenges which have been managed extremely effectively.
Strong order intake growth continued through to the end of the year, resulting in full year revenue growing by 10 per cent (7 per cent organically1) to $576 million. We now expect to deliver an adjusted operating profit2 slightly ahead of market consensus3, which represents good earnings growth over 2020.
The growth in orders resulted in a materially higher closing orderbook year-on-year, with increased visibility into outer years creating a robust foundation for the new financial year.
Cash closed at $175 million, with high cash conversion driven by continued effective working capital management.
Nasdaq composite up 0.5%....perhaps tech stocks are somewhere near the bottom??
Also SPT should be due to bring out a year end trading update shortly - last year RNS was issued 18/1/21.
Today looks better than i would have expected so perhaps there is a bottom close in.
Wait a little longer before jumping in. A very good entry price approaching, but not quite yet.
The 5G is just a simple issue in the States that will not ground planes. Change the wavelength instead.
It is not seen as a problem in the UK and Europe, where 5G operates on a different wavelength than America
Only 212,500 shares traded in first 5 hours - looks like big seller is out?
Just needs a change in sentiment to tech stocks and / or preferably some decent results out from SPT to get this moving north again.
Happy to hold for long term growth and dividend
Heading to 216p first.
Goldman Sachs raises price target to 204 (was 189) still a sell recommendation
A lot of grand old duke of yorking going on with Spirent.
The mms are marching it up again now they have gather in the stop losses.
Many reasons to sell, not necessarily related to SPT.
I sold all my holding around 291 to 297p+, no reason other than felt it was due a pullback.
I started in around 275 (bit too keen) 1/10 tranches intended have added on each drop including today at the close.
The timing may not be perfect and I am Having _a_Laugh too as I anticipate a healthy return even should it fall further.
Paper losses are in most cases temporary / transient and it is hard to time the exact top and bottom.
GLA, as I said a week or so back, adding down to 225p if it comes again.
Given that in the public domain someone is selling down prior to release of update and the volume today is about 1.5x normal average. It doesn't compute.
This is what you are not seeing:
1.) The company has lots of assets
2.) Its testing applications are in demand
3.) It has a large cash pile - no debt
4.) Its a leader in 5G
5.) DIvidends
6.) Potential takeover target
7.) Broker recommendations over 300p
This fall is down to chip shortages and a general malaise with tech stocks. The fundamentals of SPT do not reflect its current share price
I've just put my money where my mouth is and topped up
We have been here before and may go lower still but sometime in the next 3 6 9 12 months today bargain will be seen as just that.
Not a recommendation. DYOR.
I don't see any reason to buy other than it used to be higfher priced in the past. It has no energy in the chart and results don't look stellar and PEG nothing special. What am I not seeing?
