Wigmore is now turning a profit. A great little support services company that looks as if it is going to shine over the next few years. IMHO Any thoughts appreciated.

Bought in early.. lots of good news etc.. etc.. but nothing's happening to the stock price...?

Nobody secures contracts during late Dec and Jan. Once we move into early spring I think the news flow on WGT will continue as before. Every chance that this share will generate significant interest. I have topped up in the last week and I am feeling positive about good returns over the coming months/years. IMHO

Last time i spoke with Mr Hewitt 7 01 04, i asked him how the order book
was looking now compared to interim stage and he said if anything it was
a lot stronger now than then which was positive.
We have to allso consider the affect Blanchards will have at year end.
Turnover previous twelve months just short of 7 million with profit of
400,000.

On 16th of october Blanchard won four contracts value 1.1 million, at the
time the Wigmore management said,

These orders, which far exceed expectations made by Wigmore's management at the
time of Blanchard's acquisition two months ago, illustrate its potential.

Speymill now trading well,

Although Speymill endured a slow start to the year, which I explained in my
statement for the AGM, it has certainly made up for lost time in the last few
months with a number of notable contract wins.

Speymill, was slow in the early part of the year but has now picked up and I am
delighted to report that all of the Group subsidiary companies are now operating
profitably.

It seems to me that the only negative i can find is indeed the shareprice,
and surely this must be re rated in time. Hopefully full year will show
t/over 15/16 million and fingers crossed a profit, what would that do to
shareprice. aimho of course and dyor.

And another contract win,roll on year end.

The Wigmore Group plc

1.2m contract win

AIM listed support services group The Wigmore Group plc is pleased to announce
that Speymill, it's Leisure and Hotel Division, has been awarded a 1.2m
contract by Closegate Hotel Developments (Stevenage) Ltd.

Work on the new hotel situated, in Stevenage, is scheduled to start in late
January. The project comprises of a design and build to form a developers shell
for a new 5 story Premier Lodge hotel with 115 bedrooms and includes restaurant
and bar facilities.

The contract period is 18 weeks and is worth in excess of 1.2m.

I topped up again on the recent drop at 2.6p. This one has got to fly this year.

Good move Prophet., I bought 50k shares @2.7p six months ago. I agree this is due for a big increase. Everything is in place for a re-rating on the next set of results...Good luck ..:)

added 57k at 2.62p hoping it sprouts wings, eagerly awaiting results

Nice one. saw it go through.should at least double over next 3 months. They could go down a bit first though, to generate investor interest. if they do I might buy some more as well.
Any idea when the next results are due out ? last year's came out end of June

Wot ! no price rise ! all substantial buys today and no increase in the share price ? must start to go up soon,,, and I reckon results will be released in 2nd half March (IMHO).. Time to get some more in before the hike !

Having said that,, a sell of 14000 went thru' at 2.35p ! can never understand why peeps sell just before good results are going to be released ? (This share must be due for a re-rating. upwards!)

Not long to the results and we have a great support level at 2.5p. I still expect WGT to grow strongly over the next three years. At this level I have topped up twice. I'm really expecting Wigmore to soar over the coming months. DYOR.

I think it needs seriously more volume for the price to rise, but I expect this over the next few weeks.

What price is possible over next 12 months?

Difficult to say.. this is one of those shares thats done nothing over the past two years despite all the good news. The should get a re-rating on the next results/ good news. It should double at least, maybe treble. It deserves to be a lot higher than it is today ! 10-12p in a years time is my prediction (DYOR):)

MAXTON

Any prediction on price has to be in the main based upon how many people notice the story in these early stages. With the right exposure we could see a double digit share price. More importantly the underlying fundamentals are so good that 10p and higher will arrive at some point. This is the key point. You might get 10p in less than a year or it might take two. Crucially it's only 2.5p now and this price level will not be around as an entry point 12 months from now. IMHO

Awesome buying today (1.7m).volume coming through at losn last. Cannot understand why the SP is not going up as results must be due soon and with it positive re-rating. watch this space ! :)

Prophet

You say that the fundamentals are so good that 10p will arrive at some point. That would imply a market cap of 12m compared to its current market cap of 3m (and a quadrupling of share price). Can you please explain how? as I have been looking to buy in but can't justify those levels.

Currently, the company is loss making though this may turn to profit next year. They have a current net asset value of just 0.5m and this includes nearly 4m of goodwill from recent acquisitions. I accept that the recent acquisitions will add to the bottom line. Current buying looks positive and the company looks like it will be successful years from now but currently appears to be fairly valued IMHO - am i missing something?

Don't think you're missing anything Fundamentalist, apart from the fact that there is definitely something brewing here, volumes on shares like these don't suddenly tick up for no reason. 10p might be an optimistic, but it could well double in the next few months. Good company with a solid reputation in the building trade. Check it out further!

Fundamentalist

My comments were in response to Maxton's query. 10p was suggested as a target price based upon growth to come. I have concentrated on Mears (45%) and ROK(115%+) in the last two years. I still hold these and in ROK's case I am convinced I will double my money again. I then checked out WGT last year and saw a great future based upon all the information available. I expect significant growth in contracts - turnover and profit. We may also see takeovers in the next two years to further expand the business. I like this share a lot and don't see 10p being a problem, what I can't foretell is how quickly we are likely to get there. I said yestreday that the 2.5p wouldn't be around for long and we are up 10% today. It might drop back before going forward but I am convinced these levels (whilst fair value on paper - so you are right) are far to cheap for the story which is unfolding here!!

Thanks guys,

I shall keep a watching brief until the results are announced - anyone know what date they are (or am i right in assuming a date hasn't been announced). Good luck to all holders.

Prophet - ROK still being tipped by Hemscott analyst (both a month ago and again today) - I'd still be happier if they bought out GFRD at a nice premium lol!!!
