I`m still in these bought in at 1.72 and it has been downhill since.
I noticed the rise as well on Friday and was very happy to see some recovery in SP,these are one i`m reasonably happy to hold as the dividend is not bad.

EVO have tipped this one as a BUY in the last few days. When I get my Mouse sorted out I will post the tip.

cheers GF.

PS, still looks derd cheap.

The EVO broker note I promised. Medium term target price 225p.

Yesterday afternoons brief trading statement revealed that the Board expects the
FY06 outlook to be significantly ahead of market forecasts on the back of better
than expected 2H sales. The Set-Top-Box (STB) Division is driving this success and
specifically demand for Sky+ boxes, incorporating the personal video recorder
(PVR), continues to grow.

Sky seems to have experienced a strong Christmas trading period, feeding
through to increased demand for Amstrads STBs. This will have been exacerbated
by problems at another of Skys suppliers, Pace Micro. Paces December trading
statement revealed that component shortages were delaying product shipments.
We had downgraded our Amstrad FY06 expectations in September when the
Company warned that shareholders should not expect the same level of results as
FY05, but it seems the Board has been surprised by the weight of demand flowing
through in the latter part of its financial year. Consequently we are lifting our FY06
sales forecast from 82m to 97m and the PBT forecast from 15.9m back up to
20.0m.

We are leaving our FY07 forecast unchanged at this point. FY07 does show a
slightly lower margin, as STB margins are still expected to come under some
pressure. We expect FY06 margins to be particularly strong as the PVR boxes are
a high margin product.

We are now expecting EPS to rise from 17p in FY05 to 17.2p in FY06, leaving the
stock on a multiple of just over 10x. With the continuing strength of the Sky
business and the improving outlook, we feel a 13x multiple would be more
appropriate and are raising our target price to 225p and upgrading the stock to a
Buy recommendation.

The Company has reviewed a draft of this research note, but no changes have been made
Brief but very positive Interim trading
statement
Sky seems to have had a good
Christmas
Upgrading forecasts
FY07 unchanged for now
Stock looking very cheap
Sky+ success means profits significantly ahead of forecast
Yesterdays Interim trading statement revealed AMT expects much higher
2H sales than previously thought and we are consequently raising our FY06
forecasts and upgrading to a Buy despite the rise in the share price.

Being re-tipped in this morning's "Share Weekly" may account for some of it.

"Positive profit surprise puts Amstrad back in the TSW portfolio

A Share Weekly rule is that if the company announces that profits will beat expectations and the shares rise above the price at which they were dropped from the portfolio the shares must be reinstated. Amstrad met both these conditions on 4 January when it said that it expected earnings to significantly beat analysts forecasts because of rising demand and the price jumped to 178p Accordingly I am reinstating the shares in the TSW portfolio at the current price of 185p."


cheers GF.

Positive start this morning.

cheers GF.

A good end to the day for these.

cheers GF.
