Hilton results

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 […]

Transense

I usually do not comment on companies in which I no longer have holdings, however I felt an inclination for this one given I’ve 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 […]

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 of a plane which will eventually crash. 40% loss on that one since purchase on a weighted […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

AMS bid speculation

One of the names which I initiated positions in a  couple of months ago(Advanced Medical Solutions) had a bid speculation today. This is not at all surprising as they had one earlier in the year too. Clearly there are a lot of private equity shops lurking around trying to take out solid undervalued UK AIMs […]

New trade. Ondine Biomedical

Over the last couple of weeks I initiated a position in Ondine Biomedical(OBI). Ondine is a s a Canadian life sciences company focused on developing and commercializing light-based, non-antibiotic antimicrobial therapies to prevent and treat infections in hospitals and other settings. Its core platform, called photodisinfection, uses a photosensitive agent activated by light to rapidly […]
