Bought these some years ago at IPO. Waited a long time. Moved from Ofex to AIM 11/8/04. Now racing ahead, but I think still a lot of growth left.

EPS growing rapdly, Peg .30, Rolling Peg .32, Turnover climbing, profit climbing EPS up and up. Management seems to know what it is up to or against.



Unfortunately, my holding are outside a Sipp. But a beggar can't choose.

I hold the shares, which I bougth at flotation. Perhaps I should have dumped early at baout 70p.

The drop is in response to trading announcement
"When reporting the Company's preliminary results in early June 2006, we referred
to current trading being mixed. Subsequently, trading has proved soft, resulting
in transactional volumes below expectations albeit still ahead of last year.
Trading in the printing sector at large is presently reported as being
difficult. Ordinarily Printing.com has been able to mitigate such problems.
However, this has been hampered due to resource being diverted in the short term
towards the major Hub development project designed to expand capacity, from
circa 20-25m to 40-45m of Total Retail Sales ("TRS").



They are also X-div. I think you will have to wait until interims to see uplift.

My guess is the results will be good and longterm holds is wortwhile. Could be wrong.

Fred, I struggle to see many competitors as visible as printing.com on the market...Is this correct?

Any thoughts on this company? Surely a good investment over the long term, despite the recent trading setback?

Results are out on 21/11/2006. We will all have to wait. The charts shows only disillusion with the share. I still hold and expect reasonable results.

I have been watching this stock for a number of weeks and iin my opinion it is good value.

I hope you are right 8-)

back at a good price as the company keeps working hard in the background increasing branches and attempting to find the right companies that can make the breakthrough iInternationally. With the production facilities all now having been upgraded we should see the results show through in the next 12-18 months. The share price will then re-adjust.

Now 27-29p had a small profits warning in Jan 2009.
At this level, the group is capitalised at 12 million, a modest discount to annual sales, and such a price/sales ratio below 1 is often a sign a company is undervalued.

This co has been well managed and I understand uses a franchise-model for the outlying shops.
If that's so, then the issue has to be the lack of decent-orders. In a recession the volume of print dries up and all general-printers are under pressure. Many of their offerings are widely available on the internet, so PDC is likely to be having to compete on price - but even so, the volume is down and techy printing equipment is expensive, so I expect the debt is hanging about somewhere....

Fred1new - do you recall what you paid(in 2005, 1st Post), - and have you taken a profit...? - (er, I hope so.)...

Bought at 22 3/9/00 Sold at 52 25/1/07 One of my better moves. But should have sold at 80p.

If you are interested have a look at crx, but DYOH.

Check growth rate!!
