FT: Price rise hits FTSE gas suppliers Utilities stocks lead the decline as a rise in gas prices stoke concerns over future profitability of suppliers committed to fixed tariffs
good rise but I cant make sense of it - the whole consideration of buying it out when they're getting on a bit really and should be putting their feet up! Was wondering when the recent downward trend was gonna take a turn PS: KingJoe, sadly I aint an employee of Chime!

Numis sees St Ives repositioning Numis stuck to its 132p target price on St Ives and said the printer’s shares were ‘ridiculously cheap’ after its half-year results came in line with its forecasts. The key thing, said Numis, was the company was implementing its strategic repositioning. ‘The group has created a platform to sell a wider range of higher value add services across a broader customer group. The print division is shorn of the commodotised segments and is focused on the higher added value areas although markets remain competitive. We believe the low share price rating afforded to St Ives (a 2012 EV/EBITA [embedded value / earnings before interest and amortisation] of 4.2x and a P/E ratio of around 5x) is backward looking and reflects perceptions of a group as both cyclically and structurally challenged.’

Chime Communications (CHW), the international public relations group better known as Bell Pottinger, has an impressive track record. Profits have grown steadily through difficult times from £11 million in 2006 to £21 million in 2010. For 2011 the expectation is that the group will achieve a pre-tax return of £31.3 million and that returns will rise steadily over the next two years. Dividends - a mere 0.58p a share in 2006 - are forecast to reach 8.09p for 2013. That implies a yield of 4.5%, which, coupled with the forward earnings multiple of only 6.4, suggests the shares are undervalued. They were just 50p at the bottom of the last bear market, touched 300p last summer and now change hands at 171p.
Sorry I mean 23 FEB!
CAU have been creeping their way up throughout Jan and an impressive 10/11% rise today - any commentary or observation anyone can share on these guys? Assume expecting some good results on 23 Jan?
I think so too, general consensus is that it's relatively undervalued in comp to its peers. Mar 7th results will be interesting. Plus WPP have big stake and Ive seen them incrementally mopping up b4 as well as being keen on middle east presence (of which chime have) As a newbie I know I gotta learn to be patient!
Took a big drop yesterday after steady rising over the last month - cant see any reason for this?
