seems its definately set to move into the smallcap sector and indeed the trackers will be buying.Its up today as a few have already calculated this.

everything else is fine and expectations overall are to be met.........the market is getting more corrupt by the week.

I agree that yesterday's drop was a bit overdone but maybe its more to do with the announced acquisition. They will be paying up to 2.4m using their own cash reserves. Considering that they still have a sizable debt, perhaps the market didn't like this upfront payment.

I don't profess to know the answer - just speculating.

Goes ex-divi on the 29th Aug (interim divi).

Have done nicely out of these this week. ;-)))

is anyone in this recently as potential for takeover

is this takeover about to happen.....be quick everyone before its too late.
sudden increase in price right now with decent volume

going higher and higher

hurry up guys and buy

RAY has gone down sharply after talks of offer terminated - now 214p.

so is this a buying oppertunity than.

Not yet...it just fall to 200p now. I think 140p will be a fair price

With the credit crunch biting and economy crumbling, RAY which niche lies in the leisure marine market is not a place to be. SELL - currently 197p.

Raymarine (LSE: RAY.L - news) makes the kind of kit every well-equipped sailor needs, from navigation devices and autopilots to radar gear and instrument panels. The rating on the shares of 5.5 times current year earnings plus the prospective yield of 8.2% - certainly looks attractive on a long-term basis. However, the short term is likely to prove difficult. Avoid says the Telegraph.

Raymarine sits at six times earnings and yields nearly 8%, but carries 82m of net debt. The chance of a fresh bid approach remains, but that is insufficient reason to buy. Sell says the Times.

Another profit warning...now 30p.


23 October 2008

Raymarine PLC ('Raymarine' or the 'Company')

Trading Update

On 7 October 2008 Raymarine reported that its like for like sales for the nine months to 30 September 2008 were 8.5 per cent below the comparable period last year. Since then Raymarine has seen a rapid deterioration in the markets it serves. Order intake and sales during the month to date have both been substantially below the Board's expectations. As a result the Board now believes that Raymarine's results will be significantly below the lower end of the market's expectations for the year ending 31 December 2008.

In the last two weeks there have been a large number of announcements and indications by boat builders around the world that they will be building significantly fewer boats both this year and in 2009. Raymarine's sales through other channels have also experienced a sudden slow down.

Peter Ward, Executive Chairman, initiated a thorough review of Raymarine's costs following the departure of the Company's previous Chief Executive. The Company will be seeking to eliminate a significant element of costs whilst ensuring that it retains its long-term ability to design and market innovative and exciting new products.

Raymarine's 5 year committed borrowing facility runs to November 2009. The Company commenced discussions with its banking syndicate some time ago with a view to extending or refinancing the facility. It is intended that these discussions be concluded before the Company's results for the year ending 31 December 2008 are announced early in 2009.
