SCREEN PLC - time to buy back in? (SEN)     

Legins - 12 Oct 2003 11:41

Screen shares started to head north fast again on friday by 21% and alot of buyers out that day. I've done some own research but can't seem to find any news since interims accounts on 23/9 that might indicate why the share price goes up like a rocket.

Could this be just that the company is now back in profit as analysts predictions begin to hold true.

I never understand the City - if a share is languishing at a very low price they say we must consolidate....if it is languishing at a middling price they want to do the opposite - yet, IMHO there is a common reason for BOTH situations. There is no good sharenews and few prospects of growth. The sp (on fundamental) is a function of the PE and no of shares in issue - If a consolidation drops the number of shares it doesn't affect the PE (since there are fewer shares to receive dividends etc).

That the City makes money with these Share changes....perish the thought...

Fiddling with share numbers is the last thing a Company should do - it makes NO difference to their prospects - much better a Public Roasting of the least-useful Board members and maybe a small dividend to patient shareholders.
A review of their "core operations" shows about the same desparation since that is something that would normally be No 1 item (on the Board-room agenda) whenever they meet. Publishing the minutes of a few meetings would show where the rot lay, but then "we" are always kept in the dark.....aren't we?
