Brokers Hargreave Hale gave the following Valuation for HMY

VALUATION
The nearest comparisons to this Group are Sondex, trading on a current year multiple of 14 and Weir Group which typically trades on multiples of 12 plus. We would argue that Hamworthys prospects are brighter than both these companies in view of the strong order book and the global positioning. Fully taxed earnings of 13p this year and 16.5 p for the 2005/6 end March, suggests a current year PE of 9.9x and a prospective PE of 7.8x. There is a prospective yield in excess of 4%. If trading on a similar PER to Sondex the shares would be valued at in excess of 180p. We would argue that a premium to Sondex is justifiable, in particular because of the potential ramp up to sales as a result of the new product pipeline now gaining client acceptance in what is in any event one of the fastest growing markets in the world.

"Shares" Article relating to Hamworthy (HMY) posted below for info.

With a following wind these shares should double over the next year or so.

Some catty folk in the City say the flotation last month by Collins Stewart
could have been handled better, i.e. at a higher price. It was certainly over
subscribed but the rating is half that of similar oil sector service companies
including Sondex.

This ones looking usefull again and is fairly cheap compared to the producers and explorers.

cheers GF.

A good day for this one aswell, just wish they would fillin all the page wether its a buy or a sell....

Another contract, fantastic news:

Press Release 6 March 2006

Hamworthy plc

DSME awards contract for five LNG reliquefaction systems


Hamworthy (HMY.L), a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative
marine and offshore fluid handling systems, has won an order from Daewoo
Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. (DSME) to supply five liquid natural gas
reliquefaction systems ('LNG-RS'), with a total value in the range of 15 to 20
million. The systems will be installed on five LNG carriers ordered by a
consortium of Japanese shipowners and will be delivered to the shipyard from
January 2007.



In contrast to earlier LNG-RS contracts Hamworthy established a consortium with
a key sub-supplier. The effect is to share the contract risk and reduce the
sales value traded through Hamworthy resulting in a more competitive package for
the customer.



Kelvyn Derrick, Chief Executive of Hamworthy plc, said: 'This brings our tally
of LNG-RS shipsets to 20 with an aggregate order value of over 100 million, and
represents a one hundred percent market share. We have already developed a more
energy-efficient system for future bids in what will undoubtedly become a more
competitive market.'

Cheers, Madison

Excelent news.

cheers GF.

Directors Buying - RNS today

Another RNS and the shares dip.

This stock exchange mallarky never ceases to amaze me.

Still in though, and not looking to take my 90% profit.

im in too (quite a while now), wonder if we should be increasing holdings like the directors??

Kivver

With the institutions buying 17m worth at 285p in November and now the Chairman and Director buying at 330p - logic would suggest there is more upside potential here than downside risk as these guys are on the inside.

Going in the right direction ....UP.


cheeers GF.

DTI report - UK capability in LNG global market.

http://www.dti.gov.uk/energy/eid/LNGDocument_URN05_10161.pdf

Detailed report on the UK capability in the global LNG market, includes some quoted UK support service companies who are well positioned to benefit.

A few quotes from the report:

'Natural gas will overtake oil in providing primary energy-equivalent consumption as early as 2025 with LNG market demand reaching 500 m tonnes per annum in 2030.' C Watson, Shell.

In conclusion: ' natural gas is the only viable fuel that can link the carbon based global energy supply used today to a renewable based energy supply that will have to be used in the future. It is the only relatively clean alternative to oil and coal, fully supported by commercially effective production and distribution technologies - there is little doubt therefore that natural gas and in particular LNG will be not only the fuel of choice: but the fuel for the future'!
