Sectorguard is a rapidly expanding company (huge increases in turnover, profits and net assets) and despite this the share price has stayed around the 2.75p level. The shares are bound to rise (in my opinion) but when? Does anyone have any opinions?

gg

not sure this is particularly good news though, 'liquidation' and 'receivership' do not exactly give me a nice warm feeling.

PTH

long time ago still the price still struggling waiting for results in jan

made rumor of the day in the Times today...


SectorGuard buys Nationwide's security contracts for initial 212,000 stg
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - AIM-listed manned security specialist SectorGuard PLC said it is buying the manned guarding, keyholding and mobile patrol contracts of East Midlands based security company Nationwide (GB) Ltd for an initial 212,000 stg.

The company said it will make further payments depending on performance.

Nationwide, which trades as Nationwide Security Services, reported a turnover of 1.4 mln stg last year.

It has contracts in the East Midlands and the North-East of England.

bam

results due mid jan expect 1.5m EBIT compared to 6M mkt cap doesnt make sense ???

I am amazed I didn't see this one before.

LONDON (AFX) - SectorGuard PLC six months to March 31 2004
Pretax profit - 306,759 stg vs 211,437 stg
Turnover - 7.07 mln stg vs 4.53 mln
EPS - 0.11 pence vs 0.10 pence

In profit
Turnover jumped massively
Not too many shares in issue
Expanding

AND UNDER 4P !!

Nobody else looking at this then ? Looks very undervalued presently and worth a re-rating shortly !

Here we go. People now realising these are a bargain and MMs even having to have to go to the market for stock.

My stock pick for 2005.

Article in Saturdays Express under heading Share Whisper:

Express
CORUS (concerns mount about a slowdown of exports to fuel the Chinese
economy) - COBRA BIOMANUFACTURING (anticipation of an imminent
acquisition) - MEARS GROUP (suggestions it would be a major beneficiary
from a pre-election government spending increase on social housing
projects) - WHO'S DEALING: CARE UK (Walbrook, its employee benefit
trustee, buys 65,000 shares at 381-1/2 pence) - SHARE WHISPER:
SECTORGUARD (traders gamble on a positive annual results statement,
which is due on Jan 11) - BROKER'S VIEW: BRITANNIC (Gerrard keeps its
outperform rating and increases its fair value on the stock to 475 pence
from 435)

This looks like it is about to breakout.

looks as though corner turned and results next week 6p shortly ?

good results with growth in t/o abd profits and first divi yet price
goes down any ideas ???

gg - I used to invest in Sectorguard and sold out precisely for this reason, the company is sound and growing though unfortunately unloved by the markets.

I think short termers are attracted to the potential, buy in a few weeks before results and then sell out just before. The sp just drifts down through lack of interest until the next year.

I think that the corner has also been turned. Growing strongly and will continue to do so. Maiden divi.

Share price already starting to recover !

Worth a buy and hold for 6-12 months.

should get update in this weeks shares magazine was letter in last week
with some coments any exposure all good

The latest news underpins the SP IMO

SectorGuard up on Investors Chronicle tip

UK smallcap opening - SectorGuard up on Investors Chronicle tip
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - SectorGuard edged up 0.50 to 4.62 as the Investors Chronicle advised readers to 'buy', describing the company as well-balanced, with an undemanding rating within the security services sector.

It added that, under the Private Security Act, licensing costs for security companies are set to rise. But while this will have an impact on SectorGuard, some of its smaller rivals are likely to feel the pinch harder, and this could provide further opportunities for the group.

Great exposure. IC tip will bring this to attention of wider investing community. Followed this for a year and its performance has been bad. This could be the turn. Interesting to see how it goes from here.

plenty of buyers out there today and some big numbers expected it to move more perhaps will continue momentum into next week
