After a year of stumbling around and ranging HAMP has finally broke out (see a chart)...and looks set for a run up this year...

Brokers buy notes (see yahoo), good contact wins...all looking positive on charts...cant see it failing really..

any thoughts?

Another negative thing is the market does not like large debt 99M though able to move lower by the year end to 83M again, nevertheless is still much higher than the company valuation (market cap) 58.3M at 21p.

Good for you "gibby "

I have been checking things this morning, and one was how the order book was looking at the time the price was improving to 21.25 / 21.75p, but the DEPTH on the order book was very negative of 451K v 700K.

Since the share price is weakening again, now 20.75 / 21.25p

"very negative"

lol

So obvious when you have sold a stock rsi, you post very misleading comments.

L2 changes so fast in this stock that it's unreliable to first buy and sell on what the sets board is saying and even worse posting it on a bulletin board.

ravey davy gravy

Are you full of SH!T?

it looks like or not reading the posting before commenting

I am not in not out, but I boutht and sold the stock several times during the last 20 years and the last trade is many years ago.

So go and get stuffed if you feel better before saying nonsence.

Make up you mind, one or another, two negative makes a YES

I told you a few days ago, - high debt - now confirm with a note ...........

* Higher debt pile worries some analysts
* Others say long-term contracts underpin future growth
By Rhys Jones

LONDON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - British aero engineer Hampson Industries (HAMP.L) can ride out last week's 68 percent share price drop as long as key orders from Boeing (BA.N) come in ahead of a crunch debt covenant test in December.

Hampson, which makes tools used by planemakers, has been hit by a recent slowdown in orders after delays to projects such as Beoing's 787 Dreamliner led it to warn on its full-year profit.
Some analysts believe investors should look beyond this setback and place bets on future growth likely to be driven by its long-term contracts with large planemakers, whose projects are getting back on track after a two-year industry downturn.
But others said the sell-off is because of renewed concerns about Hampson's indebtedness, which has grown a fifth to 99 million pounds ($155 million) since the year-end.

Prior to its profit warning Hampson's shares had shed 10 percent in the previous six months, worse than the FTSE All Share Aerospace & Defence Index's .FTASX2710 5 percent drop.

For those interested about the company bull and bear aspect, below are expose ......

bull and bear cases as follows:

BUY

"Boeing's 787 is closer to full production, as is Airbus' (EAD.PA) A350, which are positive drivers," said Arbuthnot analyst Michael Blogg, who currently rates the stock a 'buy'.

"The orders are there -- it's a bit like a dam which at some stage will break and a flow of shipments will come through."

The company recently secured a 6 million pounds tooling contract from Boeing and analysts expect more orders to follow.

Hampson said, based on recent talks with Boeing, it was confident more lucrative orders would come through in the second half, and that its other units were delivering growth.

"Our expectations for the group's other businesses are largely unchanged," said Investec analyst Chris Dyett -- the top ranked analyst following Hampson on Thomson Reuters Starmine -- who has a 'hold' rating on the stock because the issues are limited to Hampson's U.S.-based Odyssey tooling business.

Although Odyssey has been loss-making this year, its composite and aerospace components units are performing well, helped by secure, long-term contracts on government-backed military programmes such as the Joint Strike Fighter jet.


SELL

Other analysts are concerned that a significant reduction in Hampson's profitability means its debt levels look concerning relative to covenant limits.

Its covenants are due to be tested again next month -- the limit is 3.5x net debt/EBITDA -- again in December (3.25x) and then March 2011 (3.0x).

"The December test looks as if it could be tight. Our forecasts suggest a covenant breach at March 2011," said Brewin Dolphin analyst James Tetley, who has downgraded Hampson to a 'sell' from 'hold' in the absence of any "reassuring news".

Despite Hampson's optimism, a lack of clarity on the status and value of its future orders continues to concern analysts.

"The timing of order conversion remains unpredictable," said Tetley, who added that the low price could tempt a predator.

KEEP and EYE
