I had more invested here than any other share in my portfolio for the past fifteen months and Sold everything over the past week and came out about level.For some unknown reason this share has not performed as it should have done having turned round a substantial loss into a profit over the past trading year. There are a lot of good companies on AIM very similar to this but people want to be a millionaire overnight so will always follow the money. That money is mostly invested in the top ten on the boards and a lot of investors invest blind without any research on the hope they can make quick money going from one share to another. I may invest here again but even with another large contract this will rise and fall just as quickly IMO but good luck to all those that are still here and I hope that is not the case

7 billion for transport development in the budget Lets hope some of it feeds back to Petards customers

Next few weeks should prove interesting

Nice buy gone through of 1,147,375 @ 2.87 £32,900

Let's hope we see some movement in the shares once these have been announced, about time (upwards)!!!

30,000 buys on ISDX today Good time for Downing to increase their holding!!

My thoughts as well

Petards posted on the 12th Jan "The groups profit before tax for the year ended 31.12.15 is expected to be in line with expectation" Once we get these out of the way and another contract under our belt i would be disappointed if the share price hadn't increased significantly.We may also have a clearer picture of our mark up against what we achieved on the first six months trading or if it has stayed the same.

Hi Mike we need some news to get this share moving or final results. Both would be nice

I think Downing will increase their holding over the next few days!

+ 1.03% step in the right direction

Just seen a trade go through of 1,200,000 @11.625 traded on the 10th Feb £139,500 Part of Downing holding!!

40,000 of late trades on isdx @11.75

Now showing no change!

No trades all day down 3.16 why am I not surprised!!!

I wonder if they still have the Same holding!!

PFS Downing seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in a concentrated portfolio of between 25-30 UK smaller companies (Typically those with market capitalisation between 20 million and 150 million.The fund aims to out perform returns from other UK small cap equity funds by selecting investments that the investment manager believes are UNDERVALUED by the market. Diligence is focused on identifying companies with sustainable completive advantages run by competent and aligned managers at an entry price that provides investors with a defined margin of safety. Like Tiltonby I wonder how many more they will purchase in the future.They obviously like most of this board contributors think that Petards is undervalued

Can buy at 11.90 and sell at 11.75 so assume the latest 11.75 is a sell.

Wonder when we will get the final results.Last year was March and that looked the earliest it had been for sometime

A step in the right direction. With 20 million on the order book we should at least be covered for 2015. All we need is a couple of nice contracts to move us forward with the SP. I am the first to moan so give credit where credit is due at least they have given us an up date and hopefully keeps us a bit more informed in the future.
