Another set of disappointing results. Not too surprising given the new CEO(its fairly common to get all the bad news out before he gets into the job). I will be exiting this holding as this is the third time they had a miss. I suspect they will sell off the fish division and I wouldn’t … Continue reading Hilton results →
Transense
I usually do not comment on companies which I no longer have holdings however I felt an inclination for this one given I held it for a couple of years and the results were so shocking. The share price was down close to 35% on the day due to slowdown in revenue and reduction in … Continue reading Transense →
Cordel
Terrible interim results. Despite the brokers reiterating guidance and talking about the expanded pipeline I have exited my position as I think I got this one wrong. As someone told me before, better to get off the runaway on a plane which will eventually crash. 40% loss on that one since purchase on a weighted … Continue reading Cordel →
Mitie Q3 results
Solid results from Mitie this morning. Mostly in line(which in my view is excellent as its a continuation of meaningful compounded growth). 10% revenue growth(4% organic) is very impressive in my opinion. It is also impressive to see that the Marlow revenues in Q3 are in line with where Marlow used to trade prior as … Continue reading Mitie Q3 results →
Results: Volex, GetBusy, Journeo and Charales Schwab
All 4 of these companies which made it to my long term holdings list reported results today. All 4 had excellent updates to 31st Dec 25 Volex: 15%YOY organic growth and guidance to beat market expectations. As expected the data centre division(Complex Industrial tech) is leading the way. The share price reacted appropriately and the … Continue reading Results: Volex, GetBusy, Journeo and Charales Schwab →
MS International, top up
The shares have continued to exhibit weakness post the results which always represents a doubt in your mind if you have not missed anything. Having read and re-read the statement, today I have added even more at £11.85. The shares are fairly illiquid and could move on small volume(as have done in the past). I … Continue reading MS International, top up →
Advanced Medical Solutions and Distribution Finance
Both reported results yesterday. AMS results were in line and there weren’t any notable points worth commenting on. Distribution finance had excellent results, both reduction in arrears as well as increase in the overall loan book. I have added some more at 58p, having sold some at 54p a few months earlier as I was … Continue reading Advanced Medical Solutions and Distribution Finance →
MSI Results today
One of my top holdings had half year results. The shares have very limited newsflow, so I was looking forward to the statement as this is the only time you get an insight in what is going on inside the company. I like the chairman’s statements from them, they are no nonsense, old school type … Continue reading MSI Results today →
Top 10 long term holdings
While there is a lot of noise in the market, for those of you who want to buy and hold their positions for a few years, here is a list of my top 10 in alphabetical order. One thing to notice is the large portion of US names, despite me investing in the UK for … Continue reading Top 10 long term holdings →
Happy New Year + (performance update for Q4)
