St3rsky, It was correct as I topped up at that price this AM, and as you mention it dropped slightly to buy around the time you posted. These errors never seem to get corrected and occur when the bid/ask prices are close to mid price and I'm sure the MMs use this to their own advantage. I'm sure most of us would like to see this reporting change as it's confusing and affects the buy/sell ratios reported. Oh well, things are at least looking positive for Breedon even if today hasn't been that exciting. A nice Weekend to All.
Three directors at Breedon Aggregates raised their holdings in the company on Thursday, the same day that it impressed the market with a better-than-expected set of interim results. The board members used a recent dip in the stock to snap up the shares at a price of 39p each, after it hit an all-time high of 51p in May. Non-Executive Director David Warr spent the biggest amount, buying 500,000 shares for £195,000. The deal upped his interest in the firm to 0.55%. Meanwhile, Chairman Peter Tom, who has been in his position since Breedon's formation in 2010, bought 350,000 shares, spending £136,500 and lifting his stake to 4.75%. Chief Executive Simon Vivian also purchased 250,000 for £97,500, taking his holding to 1.63%. Breedon, the UK's biggest independent producer of primary aggregates used in construction, reported that underlying profit before tax jumped 77% to £9.4m in the first half ended June 30th with volumes ahead in all key product groups.
During the Spring the SP hit a high of circa 50.50p then following that, expected profit taking arriving at yesterday's SP of 38.75p. With todays Report which looks healthy enough, and Numis's raised Target of 58p in June, surely we should see some renewed interest in Breedon. Hopefully we will.

Well there was a decent rise following the Finals in the Spring, if the Interims are reflecting similar upbeat figures we may well see a lift up. I think the recent drop in SP is purely profit taking from earlier gains and investors are increasingly less patient of late, especially with AIM stocks. Fingers crossed.
