Stock Markets

Interest in Ultraframe boosts its shares
By Nick Hasell
Smaller capitalisation shares



ULTRAFRAME found its best level since Augusts profit warning on hopes that the troubled conservatory maker may attract private equity interest.
Shares in Ultraframe had tumbled from 273p last October to a 66p last month after four profit warnings. But Wednesdays year-end trading update served to steady nerves as it confirmed that trading had got no worse since August.



Arbuthnot Securities was reassured that Ultraframe will maintain a final dividend of 7.86p. Stephen Rawlinson, analyst, believes that next years total payout will halve to 5.6p, although that still produces a yield of 7.5 per cent.

Mr Rawlinson thinks the US operations should be sold, but says the UK conservatory roofs business is a very high quality operation in a low quality market. On that front, he suggests Ultraframes strong cashflows and good UK market position could make it more attractive to private buyers than institutional investors in due course. The shares added 3p to 78p, against a 17.2 retreat in the FTSE 250 to 6,254.1.

looking interesting closed today 91+. 100 here we come.

Whilst its obvious that UTF are irritated by the takeover rumour, can anyone explain to me how anybody (including UTF)gains from this kind of statement which has inevitable consequences???
