cant comment on win as a whole but there is certainly volume through our site, but some is seasonal. The cold weather always helps our main contract tho

Personally I think this has been caused partly by mm's. After tbe nov results which I thought were ok it was all sells but for months the share stayed around 70p even with all the sells. I sold at 75p with nice profit and was waiting to get in around 67p which never came so I got bored and put money elsewhere. I will be back but only when good news and charts are good. Wether I get in at this cheap level who knows???

Win now run empty as little as possible, heinz addidas gsk smyths toys ellas kitchen and more all pull each others loads, morrisons contracts that we have collect some of their own loads from us when in the area. There is still room for improvement tho. All new units and trailers on our contract and the longer trailers seem to be ok. Wins only prob is their lack of giving good news out. This share will prob only move when full year results are posted.

Been out of win for a while, but it looks like there is movement today so wont be long till back in, check out thomas cook (tcg) its looking good...

but at least the share seems to have found its bottom, over the last few months there has been more selling than buying but seems to stay at 70p. Hopefully when interest in Win returns (and we are getting some volume now) it should start to move up faster. Still maintain it is vastly undervalued at this price, top analyst s/p prediction is 125p

Wincanton only move goods between rdc and store, any houshold deliveries are the responsibility of Asda warehouse staff as they deliver it not Wincanton

well there is certainly lots of volume leaving our yard. I wish the mm's would sort the listing of shares out correctly as iv'e just bought in again but it showed up as a sell. IMHO must be ready to go up, all the dividend seekers that were disapointed seem to have sold, and after the good half year profits even with all the new contracts not yet contributing, full year figures look to be better

Leading supply chain specialist Wincanton’s contract with one of the world’s top manufacturers of powered garden equipment, Global Garden Products (GGP) has been extended, marking a 10-year relationship between the two companies.... Yet another contract renewal, hopefully share price should start to go up after the recent profit taking.

Why all the sells in the last 2 days when Wincanton have given some decent half year resultes and the analysts have upped their target prices?

Numis securities changed target price to 120p today

Found this on another share discussion site. Numis tips win as a buy with a target of 90p And also tipped as a buy in shares magazine

Taken from Wincanton website. Wincanton has taken its prototype LST on a tour of its UK customers’ bases to show the new vehicles’ capabilities, get customer reactions and establish support for them to be incorporated into its fleet. The LST has been viewed by Argos, Sainsbury’s, WHSmith, GSK, Nestle, Heinz, Screwfix, adidas, Mattel, Tesco, Unilever and Dyson and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. The new trailers are just 1 to 2.05 metres longer than the longest vehicles currently operating on UK roads, yet the benefits are impressive, including up to 15 per cent increased average load capacity. Wincanton has received 68 licences from the Department for Transport. Dave Rowlands, Technical Services Director at Wincanton says: “The trial LST licences have been hugely oversubscribed and this just shows what an important addition to the UK fleet portfolio this will be to reduce costs, reduce carbon and cut congestion. We are now working with our customers to allocate the licences and make sure that we can get the benefits of the trial in improved efficiency. Wincanton’s prototype 15.65m longer semi-trailer has now passed its DfT/VCA performance test and we have got the green light for all subsequent trailers of the same design. The vehicle took its first fee-paying load onto the road on Monday 6 February 2012.

The 28 pallet trailer is no good for heinz most of the time as 25 plts of beanz are max on weight but for the likes of Adidas / Smyths toys ect they are ideal. Yes they are probably better suited to trunking at the slightly larger size of 14.6 mtr but with the moveing rear axle which locks straight when reversing they are still agile.

Glad to hear you think the results will be good enough to get you to top up just wish all the sellers thought the same. I think we have retraced enough. I see stobarts have shares have dropped on the back of proffit warnings.

There are around 5000 - 6000 wincanton vehicles on the road but like eccles said alot are in customers colours but the ones that are not should be more noticable. As for our contract we never run empty nowadays, carrrying all sorts of stuff and not just the product the contract was originally for. The new trailers are huge carrying 2 + 4 more pallets more than the standard 26 (2 different sizes) saving fuel and ozone. As for Eric Born and co I think they are doing a great job, just hope the results indicate this.

There was a post a while back asking where wincanton was as they are not seen on the road as much as some other hauliers, well in reply to that hopefully that is starting to change as our new trailers have the name in large letters. The new DOT approved longer trailers which carry more pallets that are coming are also in the new colour scheme - white/blue. So hopefully win will get more publicity rather than just our customers

How long will the retrace go on before it turns?

You are quite right Quarryman its always nice to get renewals as it confirms the trust the customers have in wincanton.
