If you mean by TPG itself then no. If you mean by posters on here, then I can't say for sure because I don't bother much with BBs. What I can say is that I'm only interested in facts from reliable sources (whether they be positive or negative) from which I draw my own conclusions and on which I base my own investment decisions. Folks attempting to manipulate sp through ramping or de-ramping are not interested in fundamentals, are just after a quick buck and get caught out - eventually.
The only recurring theme over recent periods is continuing progress toward sustained profit. Suggest you do more research.
Excellent progress on all fronts. Revenues up, costs down, EBITDA up, order - book up. Looking to move to sustained profit and complete first acquisition by end of year. Very, very good. ATB
Hi to you too. Good luck with the top up. I first came in about 4 years ago when TPG were known as Corac. They've come a long way since then and I've stuck with them. They had problems in the past under the Corac brand but have since completely transformed the business by concentrating on their strengths and ditching the costly DGC legacy project. I have no doubt that we are on board a little company with very big prospects. ATB
Stockbrokers Rudder purchased a 9% stake (previously no holdings in TGP) for its discretionary managed portfolio. These are not nominee accounts. Good stuff. ATB
Also note that Directors have subscribed at 6.5p. A relatively small discount to current sp. Another vote of confidence. ATB

I agree TruroTrader. Also worth noting is an offer at 6.5p is not a huge discount on sp prior to the announcement. So, the business is clearly confident that new subscribers will see that the placing price represents good value when taking account of future prospects. ATB
Directors' and key personnel share option scheme replaced with new scheme linked to share price performance. Good stuff. ATB
RNS today confirms commencement of first tranche of work worth £9.7m under MoD COGS contract (in total expected to generate £22.5m). Good to see a fast execution of first stage. ATB
Very good news - confirmation of successful completion of second single source contract. Checked this out on stock exchange website and iii. RNS number 2108C - not showing on TPG's website yet.
Much of TPG's progress was already factored in to the sp imo and those that have decided to sell were most likely short-termers who didn't do enough ground work and who were expecting more but the company achieved the goals it set itself for 2016. All credit to them and the turnaround from the old Corac days should not be underestimated. The maritime division is the star of the show but other divisions now close to break even. ATB
Sounds like results are in line with the latest trading update issued in January. It does appear that the December trading update was overly optimistic on the EBITDA front but nevertheless, all moving in the right direction.
Further good news expected on the second single source negotiations with MOD first announced on 5/8/2016. Estimated value £22.6m over 8 yrs. ATB
Just guessing up as one of those who's held their nerve during difficult times. Over 3 years now since I first bought in to Corac on the back of the DGC hype and although I went through some soul searching it was clear to me that the Company had recognised its strengths and had the courage to ditch loss making projects. Nothing wrong with a quiet board by the way! Busy ones tend to be full of p&d merchants and ill informed rubbish. ATB
Comeonvog, beefing up the board to capitalise on M&A opportunities as part of their growth strategy.
Agreed and thanks for providing intelligent and substantiated analysis on this b/b.
Indeed Adastra. I suspect some folks jumped in here on the back of the MoD transparency notices without realising that this company is not a one trick pony and has a diverse business model generating strong revenues and expanding. I have no doubts that the MoD work will materialise but there are hoops to jump through with the Single Source Regulations Office whose job is to oversee single source contracts with a view to achieving best value for money in contract negotiations. The SSRO has just been revamped and has a new Chair so it's very unwise for anyone to predict timescales. For anyone who's interested check out MoD SSRO and in the meantime focus on all the other good stuff going on.
Good morning. Yes, good things to come imo. Just one thing to mention, RNS's cost money so companies don't always use them unless there's something worth reporting. Then you have a watered down version - called an RNS-reach which is used when a company wishes to advise the market of something which is not a significant price mover. Hence, these latter types rarely include, for example, the value of a contract. So, its always a good idea to regularly check the website (I'm sure you do), go to the investor shows (well done - I can't easily get to London just a shame you can't share your experience), check out what the competitors are up to, look at the trade media for a company's area of business, look at what the local press has to say, keep abreast of political issues which might benefit (or otherwise) a company's market. Full time job eh? Have a good weekend. ATB
If you want to give a balanced view, then you need to include the positives as well as the negatives. You could for example pick up on adastra's research and some other posters here too, Sis and Truro for example whose information can be verified. A comment like 'the company is fundamentally the same' (as in July) is misleading because it implies that there has been no change to its operations, contracts or personnel. Not only misleading but untrue. Your statement regarding market value is also untrue. Market value = M Cap. M Cap at 3p was 12.6m and at 8p is 33.7m. The problem is that posting content which is factually incorrect or misleading undermines your arguments. ATB
