HMLH.L Share Price (HMLH)

50,000 shares bought in four tranches at 26p today. Someone building up a bit of a stake from the looks of it.

Finncap have left their forecast to March'20 unchanged at 4.7p EPS following the year end trading update (too early for forecasts to March'21 given the pandemic).

The trading update to 31/3 is probably as good as we could expect in the current pandemic. And the good news is that this has curbed acquisition activity. So perhaps HMLH will be able to work even harder to deliver all those synergies and cost savings they've been aiming for....

I assume the 0.5p dividend stands since nothing has been said about it.

Last night's late RNS shows Harwood Capital/Oryx continuing to buy.

They now own over 15%, with 6.925m shares. They've added another 538,000 shares since November's last disclosure.....

A single £3k buy has just moved the price up 1p, or 3%.....

Imagine what just a little interest would achieve here.

Yet another acquisition from cash, this time for around £0.5m. Looks like one of those where the founder needs to sell out given that he's retiring after completion, so hopefully the price is an attractive one for HMLH:

"The Acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy of acquiring leasehold management businesses that can quickly be integrated into the Group and that provides further regional coverage. We are pleased to welcome all the team at LML into the HML Group."

Let's hope last night's options grants to various employees and directors - exercisable at 32p - are indicators that the Board believe it's upwards and onwards from here:
