US operations should be supporting the SP here but hasn't done so far. All utilities need to diversify and either acquire foreign entities or merge with them e.g. SSE and Npower. This reduces any Corbyn/Labour threats however unlikely and overblown they may be.

Perhaps he and Corbyn need to look at EPS and Dividend payouts - water companies are not paying ALL their profits in dividends as they wrongly suggest!

Widely accepted that a share trading at <10x earnings is undervalued. Removal of exceptionals and amortisation costs EPS was 16.5p

Fruitster good to have you back. Yes carnage on the markets this week especially DOW. What do you make of DEB? Ashley now with a 29.7% stake just below the 30% threshold. He is quite sly and savvy - I reckon he will push for a merger of sorts rather than T/O.

Must be a strong takeover target at these prices. Sub-�3 for a strong global brand. Remember half the sales and profits come from the food business which is fairly robust and popular. I suspect a Middle Eastern bidder will come in soon.

He is a sly fellow. Wants a merger type arrangement IMO.

Another Conn buy. Hat trick.

From Elikhulu alone. Revenue is more than the market cap!

Extra 55K at very low cost.

Ramaphosa There will be no smash-and-grab of land in our country. That we will not allow," he repeated, to applause from the Old Assembly. He further stated the matter would be resolved with comprehensive consultation. There are some who say there is no need to talk. There are some who continue to drive fear into the hearts of South Africans and the international community. Some have even been involved in sending messages to international investors, saying it is no longer safe to invest in South Africa. I would like to say, desist from driving fear into the hearts of our people about this matter," he said. The matter was serious, and it was important to discuss it "in the most responsible manner". It's in SA's interests to have commercial farmers https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/ramaphosa-land-motion-no-reason-to-panic-or-beat-the-war-drum-20180301

We sold Phoenix to you recently didn't we? The slump at PAF has been sudden and hard to fathom. We have a great balance sheet, a book price of 10p (current 7p), an extra 50K production starting in August from Elikhulu that is very low cost and a very very low projected P/E I know the P/E here was low before as well but at PAF I make the projected P/E to be as low as TWO/2 (!!) Hence why I believe politics and the proposed new mining charter due within the next 3 months as major factors in crashing the SP by half within a month. The new mining chief replacing Zwane is an ex union NUM leader so may lead to higher wages and greater worker rights.

In a fair and regulated market this would ordinarily see utilities rebound.

It is carnage over at PAF. Being mainly blamed on the controversial taking back of white farming land in SA without compensation and the consequences. PAF down from 14p to 7p in a month! No such problems here?

Nothing would surprise me in this rogue market. 100p to 25p in no time. BlackRock shorting this. Directors have bought a lot in the past year but is it 'free money'? Disgraceful performance all round. Did they not turn down a takeover at 250p 2-3 years ago? Stupid. Yes here it is: - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-28123611 �266M offer rejected and market cap now �40M The board should be jailed for this sort of performance. Same goes for Carillion.

I am not expecting good results tomorrow. Forecasts hinted at a greater slowdown in H2 with revenue and profits falling. Government will be outsourcing less work to the private sector in the short term also with non-urgent operations such as joint replacements being postponed. Long term this share will do well but short term could see historic lows. BTW the 15% rise in 2 days a couple of weeks back was left unexplained - this sort of thing goes on far too often in the market. There is no smoke without fire, obviously there was a reason for this massive rise but whatever this was it has been kept hidden very well. Rotten and rogue.

I guess we will only know the rumours are with substance when the share price reaches anywhere near the broker targets of 7550p!

Ironically the SP peaked around 120p when that threshold was reached on 23rd Feb. Took them another 4 days to bother to notify anyone. Disgraceful really but that's how the markets work it seems. Shoddy and lazy. Deutsche <1% reduction in stake - still holding just under 7% - does not equate to a billion pounds knocked off the market cap.

Shire (Nasdaq: SHPG), a biotechnology company focused on rare diseases, was approached about a potential takeover, according to a person ... This is a premium only article.

notgreedy look at utilities like Centrica and SSE trading at just 10x earnings. Water the same. National Grid another. WPP 10x earnings; ITV another. Then you have trash like Hutchison, BTG, Abcam, Just Eat, Boohoo, ASOS, SSPG & co trading on anything between 40-100x earnings. What do you make of Saga? A well established name knocked down from over 200p (IPO 215p in 2014) to just 110p now with EPS 14p and a P/E of under 8. Dividend c. 9p yielding 8% and cover 1.6x. Yes the market does not make sense.
