I hold a few of these and a little surprised to see them move up sharply today - in a really bad market - I believe they are undervalued and the CEO is always buying but ......

anyway here is the reason


'Mail on Sunday advises: Universe announced a total dividend of 1.95p. At 21p the shares yield 9.3% and trading at 5.5 times forecast earnings for this year. However, there are reasons to be cautious. Universe is listed on AIM and with a value of just 7.5 million the shares can be volatile. It is unusual to find shares that offer income, growth and recovery, but Universe may fit the bill. Be aware of the risks, but the shares are a speculative buy, the paper says'


The shares are up over 19% today on more than three times average volume - worth looking at the following links to hear/see latest results
