Zeus have increased their share price forecast from £1.95 to £2.21.

Yet another great update from this company. They are well on track to exceed the analyst's forecast for the year.
I think the share price will be in the £1.40 to £1.50 range by the end of the year which is just fine.

Wow, strong results. Turnover £1.32 billion with a clear plan to achieve £2.3 billion.

Like minds GG. I sold out of Gaming realms today to buy more Centralnic. Both have bright futures.

Threw! And Phew. What a great quarterly update. They consistently over deliver which I like.

waste of 4 years then.

Seems the market sentiment for this share has slipped. Director sell at the start of the year, followed by talk of building a paper mill (requiring a placing no doubt) and now increasing material costs in a market that has shrunk has all added up to this retrace in price.
I will be watching on the sidelines.

We will find out more with year end trading update due this Thursday 15th April. Particularly interested to hear about US growth and market share.

The last 2 years there has been a year end trading update on 2nd April. Hopefully something similar this year.

Well the Company has issued a year end trading update on April 2nd for the last 2 years so hopefully similar timing this year.

I think that is a given Hawfinch.
Plenty of sizeable buys recently, don't quite understand why the share hasn't risen given there is so little free stock.

There was a €14m Impairment in 2020 of their Investment in an Irish Whiskey company and the carrying value on the Balance Sheet is now €2m so there shouldn't be a significant impairment this year, on this Investment at least.
It appears to me that this Irish investment was a poor decision and this shareholder has an axe to grind and wants to remind them and embarrass them so. But it's happened and if the auditors require an impairment then it needs to happen. It shouldn't detract from what a good Company this is.
Their abstaining/votes won't stop the motions being passed. If they don't like the Board then they should sell up and move on. So it sounds like a storm in a tea cup!
Hopefully we will get a trading update along with the AGM confirmation.

Timely tip, with trading update due this week.
Last year's was on Wednesday 5th Feb and 2019's was on Monday 4th Feb.
Looking forward to hearing about continued integration, synergies and growth.

I'm fine with the dividend being held at the same amount as historically.
If It means they can retain more cash for the acquisition, and less dilution, then makes sense.
Eps up to 50p. This will rise today

Very good results. The Company delivering on all it's promises. Increased market share, margins and ebitda. Debt down and dividend proposed.
Particularly like the fact that with the recent LTC acquisition Group capacity is now £220m. With turnover of £62m for the 6 months plenty of upside from here.

When you have to borrow from a Director to keep the lights on, you know things are bad. The new CEO must be thinking I've been stitched up here.
Out of loyalty I purchased some Skinny Tan for my daughter this Christmas. Soooooo expensive compared to the other products in Boots. Should have realised then that their pricing is all wrong.
Placing at 30p or bust seems the way forward from here.

Dire update. Not even a mention of Sales at Boots. Dumped my shares this morning. Placing on the way.

Mickey Mouse production volumes. This business becomes more of a joke each day.

£10k token purchase by the new CEO has hardly impressed. I buy more than that and I'm recently unemployed!

Thought I'd get back to the subject and share my tax advice.
Some of you will know, but others may not, that you can you use your spouses annual allowance of £12,300 to shelter gains from the tax man.
The shares are transferred at no gain or loss when transferred to a spouse. (They transfer at their original cost). I have just done it with my William Hill gains. Opened an account with ii in my wife's name, transferred enough shares to give a gain of £12,300 and sold them a couple of days later. Then withdrew the cash and closed the account down. Took about 5 days in all and saved on the tax.
For the record I am a recently made redundant Chartered Accountant. Only a small holding here but enjoying the anticipation.
