it seems...bargains c40p imv

all time high

like Wales / rain...France / cheese

amazed/astounded by robust performance here...

looks like vital support to revenues and cash profitability

excellent performance

perhaps worth a flip ...unless it's a flop?

not in here...but looks good to me ...gl

"the market is intelligent enough to see through the bs." ...perhaps true for vodaphone...but here PIs are a large part of the market, so bs rules...imv

lol...perhaps retrace to high teens?

setting in...which makes sense after ramps here and elsewhere ...rns was encouraging, but yet again was light on financial implications ...and working capital remains an issue imv

this is a lovely yoyo

good sentiments... ...I can see both sides of the div issue: the cash drain in 2nd half was not encouraging... ...BUT overwhelmingly the stopping of the div strikes me as a deeply red flag (which is kinda appropriate for a company based in China)

yes tks...luckily happened to be watching at time...

nice 30%+...gl/tks, lads (esp Jan/Dan)

.

or will dreary 70-75p ceiling prevail (as £4 does over on dwha)??? ...I can see why folk derisk here, but the low multiples and current asset strength make taking money off the table Jolly difficult

12-14p seems about right...given weak figures & placees derisking into lacklustre sp droop ...may not get there if there is a sparkling update, of course

Everything must change so that everything can stay the same, someone once said. In a nutshell, that seems to be exactly the case with Torotrak at the moment. The company, which was spun out of British Technology Group back in 1998, had the aim of adapting a process originally conceived for cotton mills for use in the automotive market. Such hopes took the share price to the stratospheric level of 545p in September 2000. Then, Toyota and GM abandoned plans to licence its technology and the shares duly dove lower. Fourteen years on, clients have taken up its technology for use in lawnmovers. The firm also recently purchased Flybrid, adding its kinetic energy recovery system to its armoury. This system is now being tested by Lotus and a bus company that wants to commercialise it. Torotrak has also won substantial funding from the Technology Strategy Board for a move into excavators. Down by a third over the last year the shares are worth a punt, even if only on the prospect of landing a top car-maker, writes The Times's Tempus.

so much money thrown at this...year after year
