We design, develop and manufacture the most comprehensive range of plastic piping products in the UK, with over 20,000 products available. Our primary focus is on developing and supporting pragmatic product systems through specific knowledge and understanding of the residential, commercial, civils and infrastructure market sectors. We ensure that customers can trust our significant sales and technical expertise to provide value engineered, fit for purpose piping solutions for the growing diversity and complexity of construction and building technology challenges they face. -

Last year Polypipe generated sales of £301m and adjusted cash profits of £54m, giving an adjusted operating margin of 18 per cent.

Polypipe’s birth as a publicly-listed company comes at a time when the Construction Products Association is estimating that spending on roads, water and sewage, electricity and rail is expected to grow by 8.3 per cent this year, and rising in 2015 by 18.2 per cent. And on the house construction side, output is expected to grow to pre-recession levels some time next year. Given its strong position as the UK’s leading plastic pipe manufacturer, the company could be an interesting one to watch.

410p would be better :0)

Resistance 420p third attempt to break it.

Naked trader on Thursday - I have also bought some Polypipe (LON:PLP).  Made over £1,000 on this a while back. It's one of those boring sounding ones I like.

While most people go tearing around buying the next trendy oil share I am hunting for boring companies but ones that actually make real profits! This one, erm, well, makes pipes and stuff. Looks like people want to buy them though.

Profits are booming and the share price is gradually rising. The one downside is the debt is quite high but it is coming back and it only just within my usual tolerances. However that is probably priced in. Now, got to go out shopping. Got to get some new pipes for the garden...

Solid trading update.

Polypipe Group PLC (PLP:LSE) set a new 52-week high during today's trading session when it reached 437.80. Over this period, the share price is up 34.88%.

Been trading sideways for the last three months between 370-420p. Needs volume, waiting for 50DMA to be breached then try another long.

Both 50 and 25DMA's breached.

Anyone subscribing to the MoneyAM Level 2 platform please take note that most days it is not reporting the correct Trade High nor Trade Low information and "some days" not reporting the correct Opening Price or Closing Price.

The reason is because MoneyAM's Level 2 system is not sensing the Auto Trades or Ordinary Trades correctly so is wrongly reporting them

MoneyAM has been unable to fix the fault for over 8 weeks now but are still charging full price for their Level 2

Trading update
 
Strong organic growth in our UK Residential Systems and Mainland Europe segments, both helped by relatively buoyant new house building activity, has driven continued growth ahead of the market in the ten months ended 31 October 2017, leaving the Group on track to achieve management expectations for the full year.
 
Revenue for the ten months ended 31 October 2017 was 8.2% higher than the prior year at £400.6m (2016: £370.3m), and 7.1% higher on a like for like* basis. Like for like revenue growth in the four months to 31 October 2017 was marginally higher than that recorded in the first half of the year at 7.3%.

Tailed off of late.
