looks like UKM is heading for an absolute fantastic fourth quarter and a fabulous year aahead.
UK Main Group: Investec raises target price from 290p to 300p, buy rating unchanged.
UK Mail, which claims to be the biggest independent delivery service, currently provides a yield of 7.7% but faces concerns over competition from TNT - which is trialling a “final mile” service to rival UK Mail’s partner Royal Mail. Plus, wholesale prices are going up. Trading at 11 times forward earnings, the shares carry too much risk for a buy says Tempus.
"These results show UK Mail's resilience during a year of tough trading conditions, in markets that are undergoing fundamental change," said Chief Executive Officer Guy Buswell.
The group said that the strength in Mail growth reflects the impact of the Royal Mail price rise on May 6th 2011 which increased prices by 15% on an annualised basis.
Parcel delivery and logistics services group UK Mail saw sales and profits broadly match consensus estimates in the year ended March 31st and said that trading in the current year has begun in line with its expectations. Reported group revenue grew 8.4% from £395.8m to £429m during the period, helped by strong growth in Mail, up 14.5%. Parcel revenues grew 3.2%. The market consensus was looking for a figure of £425.2m.

UK Mail's troubles continue Date: Monday 28 Mar 2011 LONDON (ShareCast) - Shares in UK Mail Group took a dive on Monday afternoon after the parcels and mail group reported continued difficult trading in the fourth quarter. UK Mail, which issued a profit warning in January after bad weather towards the end of 2010 compounded tough trading previously, said volumes have remained subdued. “The important month of March is not expected to deliver its normal seasonal uplift in volumes,” the company said. The company expects pre-tax profits for the year to 31 March in the region of £16m. “The current economic conditions may continue to hinder our growth in the forthcoming financial year,” the company said. “We remain focussed on continuing to drive down our cost base, and we believe that our strong competitive position should enable us to continue to outperform our competitors.”
Just so you know I'm out mate...reaching 390 on the bid coincided with £3.00 a trade offer for today only on my trading account. Got a holiday in January to pay for, happy to cash in a small profit here to cover it. Hope the pace picks up for you a bit if you continue holding here. GL :)
I've got sucked into the whole oil exploration thing...in a way I wish I hadn't as a I liked the balance I had before but I like the volatility and I'm learning more and more how to play it for my advantage. I am only in here small time and sat on a small profit...my plan is to hold out at least until dividends here which I think should be coming in December...at that point I will re-evaluate my position...whilst it is no doubt boring here I'm fairly confident of not losing any money between now and then..prepared to jump in quick if anything changes. Don't know if you've been watching the whole RKH situation but I have bought back in there - take a look, recent placement of £200m ish snapped up by institutions so funding now in place to progress Sea Lion which looks very promising and of course there are further prospects too. I am very bullish on BPC (my biggest holding) although it is a medium to long termer - multibag potential - a very good presentation on their website should get you started. Am also heavy in CHAR where good news is expected and most people on the board expecting it to go over 200p by next quarter. All these are obviously higher risk but there is a lower risk of getting bored out of your tree. DYOR and maybe see you on one of those boards. Good luck with your SRES...I normally fail when I play around with stuff that small but if you can get it right you can make a decent quick buck!
I'm getting bored here now! Anything else a bit more exciting out there? I broke all my my trading rules today and bought a few in SRES! Only £400's worth but up already.I've got some work in for tommorrow so that will stop me from doing anything else stupid. O/T , SRT cracking run at the moment ,results out early Nov. Ramp , ramp ,ramp!! GL mate
...is where charts are most useful..right share, wrong time can cost you money as I have learned the hard way a couple of times...I WILL learn more about it some day...maybe....soon...perhaps.....
No I don't do charts at all,don't understand it. My biggest prob is timing TBH. Always learning and love researching!
Yeah...mine is bits of naked trader, bits of Malcolm Stacey Armchair Tycoon (don't bother bit basic) and bits of Lex Van Dam How to make money trading. I have been meaning to reread naked trader with pen poised and start drawing up a proper trading strategy but I'm a bit lazy and doing ok just muddling my way along at the moment :) Another guy I email from this site uses Naked Trader site for leads - he is also into his charts and says he doesn't buy into Robbie's advice on time to buy in at all although he rates the rest of the book highly. Proper chart stuff does not interest me in the slightest, I find it painful but at the same time I'm always really grateful to chartist posters as it is undoubtedly a useful dimension that you can use which currently I don't and so put myself at a small disadvantage.
Cheers for that mate. I mainly get my ideas from 52 week breakouts, then look at market cap,profit and debt, that eliminates most of the rubbish.From then , like you,their website,directors buying.I also use the advfn traffic light system to read the final results quicker(saves ages),also look at dividends etc. Basically, I've got the Naked Trader book and follow that! Why didn't I say that at the beginning? Also look at tips and use the same method.Occasionally have the odd small punt!
I'm pretty new to all this - started in April. I tend to look for leads via tips or areas I think might be interesting (oilies obv), also mobile phone payments, in here as believe shake up of Royal Mail might benefit this company and also think longterm potential of parcels due to internet shopping is good - that said I am BORED as hell in here!!! Look closely at market cap and how much potential is priced in - I want a bargain!! Look closely at little things like company website - is it nicely laid out, organised, no broken links, navigates well - if they can get that right it's a good sign - might sound basic but I really believe this quite strongly - it's important. Look at the CEO and their history. Look closely at market cap and whether potential is priced in. I have the most success when I remember my golden rule which is as follows....If I want to buy, think like a Holder, would I continue to Hold for definite or would I maybe sell (either to take profits or cut losses). If the answer is I would continue to Hold then this tells me to buy. On the flipside, I am thinking of selling; if I didn't hold the share would I be buying in at the current price...if the answer is yes then don't sell, if the answer is no then its time to take profits or cut losses. Also look to seize on opportunities...i.e. recently sat on massive RKH profits - potential remained great there long term but BPC had taken time to move on recent news and CHAR looked good value. Couldn't see why you would buy RKH anymore (not any short term reasons anyway). Decided I would definitely be holding BPC and CHAR (in fact I was but just with less shares!) so sold RKH and piled my money in and it paid off....so in conclusion, a bit of research, a bit of follow the crowd, a bit of good judgement and a bit of seizing the moment....how about urself mate? :)
I'm bored too! Will have fresh funds available at the end of month and the wife has talked me into investing it into the markets instead of 2 point something % in a bond. She's noticed my trading acc. is up lots of % and says I can do it! She must have her eyes on something expensive! What's your trading strategy if you don't mind me asking? Always like a bit of advice as another perspective is always useful
Yeah, I've had a really decent few days and pf nicely up...everything settled today though and now in both of those for the long term...in fact I've got my pf to a point where I'm happy in everything for the longterm at the moment, which is why I'm now bored!!!
See you done alright on char & bpc,well done!
I think the answer to that question has to be yes! sorry :(
Are you that bored mate???
BOOM!!! Lol!!! ;)
..ever upwards :)
