#CCC Computacenter are certainly on a role at the moment so well done to shareholders 👍
Q3 now ahead of expectations with:
“record committed product order backlog1 of £12.6bn, versus £9.3bn at the end of June, and a strong pipeline of opportunities in North America and the UK”
#PLUS a very nice start of the week for Plus 500 shareholders with my favourite expression, ahead of expectations for revenue and EBITDA (grrr)
Better performance due to continued market & product expansion and acquisitions
Good to see (even if I’ve never owned it 🙄)
#DEBS An improving picture but still loss making:
“Both periods include non-cash lease credits (c.£40m relating to the US distribution centre sublease; H1 FY26: £34.3m relating to Daventry); excluding them, the loss before tax narrowed from c.£52m to c.£12m” 👀
You know you’re in for a tough day when even the London stock exchange RNS service isn’t working 🤦🏻♀️
Off to Investegate I go…
#ATG Looks to be trading ok, guides FY26 revenue & EBITDA slightly ahead
2 things look interesting here:
1 Will FitzWalters return with a fresh bid approach
2 The form the capital return will take “the Board is considering options for returning excess capital to shareholders”👀
#NIOX looks like Niox’s Tender Offer was ridiculously oversubscribed😳
Shareholders were given the opportunity to tender 3.7% of their shareholding at 80p
Turns out 51.1% of all the company’s shares attempted to be tendered
Given the share price is currently 66p I can see why🤷🏻♀️
#MSI are really spoiling us now a second contract announcement in 1 month!
And this ones also a goodie
It’s to provide 12 Gunn systems to the German navy’s F128 programme with a total value of £29.7m
I hold & may now need to go for a little lie down…
#AT. Another Day Another Takeover
This time the previously proposed bid for Ashtead Technology becomes a recommended bid at 615p cash
The shares closed at 530p last night suggesting the market wasn’t sure this was going to happen
Looks a reasonable premium for shareholders 👍
#DFS It’s interesting to see the changes in the top shareholders list at DFS Furniture 👀
Fidelity have further sold down their holding from 9.46% to just 4.71% now
While we’re yet to hear who’s bought them its possible that Man Li Wong has increased his shareholding🤔
I hold
#GEN Genuit/ex Polypipe is on my recovery watchlist but after todays TU it can languish there a bit longer
It’s a Profit Warning ⚠️ due to the warmer weather
‘Challenging’ doing the heavy lifting as they lower PBT to £84m from £91-96m
*a bonus point for incl market expectations
#CRPR What a difference a month makes
From inline in early September to an ahead of expectations in October👍
It’s the paper & packaging division which has performed better
EBITDA now 10-20% ahead of expectations
*tho it would be nice to know the impact on profitability too🤔
There was far too much red in my portfolio today & not enough blue
So here’s a photo of Brora enjoying our beach walk earlier today
💯 blue
#GAMA Gamma & it’s prospective bride👰 Epiris remind shareholders that they are the only gig in town & they’d better get a wriggle on & vote if they want the deal to go through
Shareholders meeting adjourned to give recent shareholders (merger arbitrage funds) time to vote
🤔hmm
#VLX Volex shares have twice now bumped their head on the 700p level & fallen back- will today’s TU be enough to push them above it ⛰️?
Record revenue & Profit to be towards the upper end of expectations at c$150m 👍
*and a bonus point for including what market expectations are
#CNS As mentioned, I picked up small parcels of Corero in August at between 6.5p-7.5p as Saba messily exited their Herald IT holding
Added at 11p
The shares have had a lovely rerating this week so I trimmed half at c14p
As I’ve been heard to say before, why didn’t I buy more🙄
#SDG For any shareholders in Sanderson Design PLEASE remember to VOTE 🗳️ in the upcoming General Meeting on 29 October
I am voting to remove the Chair, Dianne Thompson ✅
Reasons given here:
lbvam.com/assets/news/LBV-Re…
Apathy is the enemy of change so please vote 🙏
#GHH I see that I’m about to wave👋🏽 a fond farewell to Gooch & Housego after it’s 1230p bid
Total return, excluding dividends, +62% (bought Dec 25- Mar 26)
Looks like the money should arrive in the next 14 days so shares shopping list📝 at the ready
This is the bit I like best😁
#WISE has had a rather turbulent year & the shares are -19% over 1 year as a result
However Q2 looks to be on track
“FY27 income before tax..margin around the top of our 20-25% range. For H1FY27, we expect the IBT margin to be c.23%”
Will we see a rerating today? 👀
