JLG John Laing Group PLC (construction PLUS) Interesting chart and looks ready to break up after a quiet time from when listing. Looks very cheap to me and managed to get some figures to add to the investment case. http://uk.advfn.com/p.php?pid=legacydaily&epic=JLG&type=4&size=2&period=4&ind_type1=1&ind1_1=&ind2_1=&ind_type2=2&ind1_2=12&ind2_2=&ind_type3=8&ind1_3=14&ind2_3=&olx_1=3&ma_type1=3&o_1maday1=25&o_2maday1=&o_colour1=1&olx_2=3&ma_type2=3&o_1maday2=50&o_2maday2=&o_colour2=2&olx_3=3&ma_type3=3&o_1maday3=200&o_2maday3=&o_colour3=3&scheme=&delay_indices=DELAYED_INDICES = Insiders move on John Laing. Between them, two principal insiders at John Laing (JLG) shelled out around £293,000 to bump up their personal holdings in the UK infrastructure investment group. The acquisitions by John Laing's chief executive Olivier Brousse and chairman Dr Philip Nolan came on the same day that the group released a broadly positive pre-close update to the market. Total investment commitments now stand at £170m, which is at the upper end of guidance announced at the interim results stage, with realisations on investments approaching the full-year target. Major projects under construction are progressing according to schedule, including the ongoing testing programme on the UK rail network for Phase 1 of the Intercity Express Programme. Once best known as a pure construction play, John Laing is now focused on investments in transport, public private partnerships (PPP), as well as environmental infrastructure projects. Arguably, this lends a slightly more defensive quality to the investment case for the group. IC VIEW: The stock also has attractions for income seekers given a forecast yield of around 3.6 per cent based on a low pay-out ratio relative to net income, which suggests there’s potential upside on offer. The shares now trade in line with the group’s 200-day moving average, but they're changing hands at a paltry six times forecast earnings. With strong earnings growth predicted through 2016, we think it highly likely that the shares will re-rate in due course. We remain buyers.

GNK Greene king Bullish top triangle....... http://content.screencast.com/users/marketsniper/folders/Default/media/004ca038-4b58-44fc-983e-8db2bf0a5ce3/gnk%202.jpg Broker note we appear to have missed. "Overall though, this looks like a positive start for the enlarged group, and management comments about a strong increase in Christmas bookings can only encourage". Broker.....Hargreaves Lansdowne COMMENT (2 DECEMBER 2015) Interim results from Greene King are the first numbers to be reported since the group completed the acquisition of Spirit. The headline figures show increases of 49% in sales and 47% in profits before tax, largely due to the impact of the acquisition. Earnings per share rise by 15% to 34.5p and the dividend rises by 6% to 8.45p per share. The market has responded very positively, pushing the stock over 6% higher in early trading. Strip out the impact of Spirit and the numbers are still positive, with the original Greene King business increasing sales by 5.4% and profit before tax by 5.9%. Like for Like sales in Greene King Retail were up 2%, Spirit Managed LFL sales were up by 1.2% and Pub Partners LFL net income was up 2.4%. Brewing volumes of Greene King's own brands were up 3.6%. Integration of Spirit is said to be running ahead of schedule and the group has increased its cost synergy expectations to at least £35m, with £12m to be achieved in the current year. The brand portfolio of the enlarged group will be rationalised, with the group taking a "best of both" approach to combining the two businesses. Our View: Greene King has a great track record of dividend growth and the Spirit deal appears to be sowing the seeds for this to continue a while longer, with the group using the boost to earnings to improve dividend cover, whilst still paying an inflation-busting 6% increase to shareholders. Since CEO Rooney Anand took the reins in 2005 turnover and dividends per share have almost doubled. Indeed, strip out the impact of a tax-related rescheduling of dividends in 2008/09 and dividends have grown every year since at least 1995. The acquisition of Spirit has given the group a step-change in scale and increased the exposure to managed houses and the South of the country, including the fabulous Taylor Walker estate in London. Managed pub numbers have increased from 1,064 to 1,548 as a result of the deal. The group is thus ever more exposed to casual dining, which is a market with a strong growth record as Britons eat fewer meals in the home. The integration benefits are coming in stronger than first planned, though to be fair, the expected level of incremental capital investment also looks to be a little higher too, at £40-50m per annum over the next three years or so. Overall though, this looks like a positive start for the enlarged group, and management comments about a strong increase in Christmas bookings can only e

Dixons Carphone (DC.) chief financial officer Humphrey Singer says it's "too soon" to update investors on how the group fared during the all-important Black Friday, Cyber Monday and festive trading period. He said sales of white goods were strong during the nationwide promotional bonanza in November, but the company expects a second sales spike with the launch of the Boxing Day sales. Just now, the group is "in a quiet valley" before last-minute shoppers push sales up right before Christmas Day. But any surge from festive trading doesn't affect the latest set of interim figures, which run up until the end of October. During the six-month period group like-for-like sales grew 5 per cent, following a particularly strong second quarter, particularly in the UK. Revenue across the UK and Ireland rose 7 per cent on a like-for-like basis, thanks in particular to strong sales in the mobile business, which benefited from the closure of Phones 4u. Southern Europe also did well, with sales growing 4 per cent on a like-for-like basis and 7 per cent in the second quarter alone. Business in the Nordics didn’t fare badly, considering the competitive environment and pricing pressure, but the fall in the Norwegian krone relative to sterling left total first-half revenues down 11 per cent at £1.20bn. On a pro-forma basis and in local currency, sales there rose 2 per cent, or 1 per cent on a like-for-like basis. Dixons is finishing off the Carphone Warehouse integration, as well as concentrating on its US partnership with telecoms group Sprint. Chief executive Sebastian James said the "majority of difficult decisions" regarding the Carphone Warehouse merger had been made, with head offices now fully combined. Meanwhile the "rapid rollout" of the Sprint trial is said to be yielding "excellent results". A decision on accelerating a wider US rollout will be made in early 2016. Brokerage Investec expects pre-tax profits of £445m for the year ending April 2016, giving EPS of 28.5p, compared to £381m and 25p in FY2015.
