Wow....it seems to have started a surge up in time for November results
know what TP Faraday put on VNET? My initial target is 90p, but I'm sure they are more adventurous or they wouldn't have tipped it.
i follow whoever is successful!!!
Shan just follows you lol
No worries! Looks like a good bet here. May not happen overnight but worth sticking with it.
Thanks mate!!! Lol!!! Let's see what happens!!
I thought you were a subscriber. I've seen your posts cropping up all over the place on faradays tips! Would be unfair to tell you everything of course but in summary Shares have lots of upside Vianet shares have been hit hard throughout the recession and investors have been kept at bay because of the management team’s cautious statements. But with a double recovery play seemingly now underway, Vianet’s markets could see substantial improvement over time. That’s why we feel they’re now looking like a real bargain. You should defo subscribe to Faraday! It will pay for itself in no time. Ask them for a spreadsheet of their tip results to see what I'm talking about. Cheers and good luck mate.
Really...what did they say?!
Faraday Research issued a buy recommendation today. They have faith in this company and cite Vianets recovery play as the main potential for upside. Should see movement today as buys come in. GLA
I bought some more at 68p Interim and final dividend confirmed at same level as last year, so this is now an 8% yield. Once regulatory threat is clarified then I think this will re-rate.
Plenty of potential here, IMHO
Interesting!
VNET goes ex-dividend tomorrow..paying 4p per share...at these share prices it seems a good punt :)

"It is obviously disappointing to be downgrading expectations," said Chief Executive, James Dickson. "We have made good progress in a number of areas but have not been able to offset the effect of contract delays. The investment made in the US and recent contract wins in the UK means that the outlook for 2014 remains promising." He said actions have been taken to reduce costs across the group, particularly in its Fuel Solutions business which supplies management information to petrol operators via a web-based solution. "It is against this backdrop and the continued strong cash generation that the board expects to maintain the dividend."
Vianet Group shares plunged Friday after the real time monitoring systems provider announced half-year trading fell short of management expectations. Shares tumbled over 20% on Friday morning as the group said its results for the six months to March 31st this year missed targets. The company, which provides monitoring systems and data management to the leisure, vending, and forecourt services sectors, also estimates full-year profit before exceptional items and amortisation of around £3.2m, compared to £3.9m last year. Vianet said increased investment in the US, delays in new contracts and pressure in the leisure sector impacted performance.
Today EAC apologise for the rns out warning on profits , they were not aware of this
Note out....... <b>"Whilst we do not issue formal price targets, it should be noted that a PER of 12 times 2013/14 EPS would translate into a share price of 210p, which is 76% higher than the current price of 119p".</b> http://equityactive.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/EA-VNET-note-20-Feb-2013.pdf
Although turnover within the Fuel Solutions division was down 10% compared to the same period last year, it operated at a reduced loss level and a monthly profit was achieved in September and October 2012. Vianet expects this "solid progress" to continue into the second half. The Leisure Solutions division, which Dickson said he is "really pleased" with, continued to generate strong operational cash flow with £3.2m in the six month period on the back of strong trading. It delivered 716 new installations during the half year. The group is particularly excited about its recent investment in the US, and believes this provides "an excellent platform" to grow activities relating to the iDraught monitoring system. As part of this, it has formed an alliance with Micro Matic for the installation, service and sales support of iDraught technology. Looking ahead, the company said that the economic environment remains challenging, the business remains robust: "Our tools help markets improve margins, so in challenging times demand increases." It added: "Whilst the overall economic environment may remain constrained for some time, the board is confident that the medium to long term strategy is the appropriate one and that the group is capable of delivering consistent and sustained growth.
Vianet Group, an AIM-listed company which provides real time monitoring systems and data management services for the leisure and forecourt services sectors, has said that it believes it is in a good position following a period of progress across all divisions. In line with management expectations, during the six months ended September 30th revenue declined slightly from £11.79m to £11.19m, while pre-tax profit dropped from £1.62m to £1.26m. The reduction to turnover was mainly attributed to the group's withdrawal from low margin, labour intensive beer volume recovery service activity for pub companies, and a reduction in lower margin activity in the Fuel Solutions division. It said that on a consolidated basis, recurring revenue across the group was approximately 70%, and almost 80% in the leisure business. In an interview with Sharecast and Digital Look, the company's Chief Executive Officer, James Dickson, said that the board is "reasonably happy" with the performance and said the group is "moving in the right direction". The group's Vending Solutions division consolidated its performance and said it was close to breakeven, despite delays to starting a major contract. The group has seen the development of new sales opportunities in the market.
