Wonder if this will break through the 5 mark????

Al,

One way of looking at it is that FY EPS is likely to be 25p (or more).

Equals PE 20 if SP = 500p.

Gives a PEG of 0.625 comparing full year with full year.

WDIK, but there could be some life in this stock yet. It's noticeable that volume is pretty low most of the time though.

Once again, you certainly made a great pick - I said that at 400p a few weeks ago and now look at it!!

Seconds later: HYC Bid: 498p Offer: 507p Change: 12

quite right .... top class company ..... forgot to put them on my watch list and thus did not buy ...... pretty overbought at the moment, but very strong chart



red = 25 dma
green = 50 dma

Well it got through the 5 mark with a bit to spare.
Where next???
Alan

don't know, but just may be tempted in even at this seemingly inflated level as there looks to be momentum behind it (strong upward trend!!)

definitely time to start watching this one again ...... should be pretty good support imminently and rsi is now neutral to oversold having been o'bought for some considerable time

Nice update, looking forward to results and more M&A.

i agree Alan; this is a really good company (like PFC) ..... i note a bit of apparent resistance as sp has hit underneath 25 dma, with perhaps something of a sterner test around 480 .... nevertheless may well be putting into my portfolio in the very foreseeable future

Welcome aboard.
Very well managed, must benefit from 2012 London and I see it touching 5 again soon, as it did some months ago.

chart below shows good looking breakout ,..... 200 dma miles behind; just broken through 50 dma ...... rsi a little toppy, but little resistance in site until it hits all time high

not sure why the sharpish drop today but with 25 and 50 dma's about to coincide imminently, there should be pretty good support and thus a buying opportunity in this quality service company presents itself.

Excellent results out today, showing a well managed company making the most of opportunities within a rigid operating framework.
Very happy to be a holder.
Alan

alan, any rumours about tendering for olympic contracts??

From the results;

Work on AMP4 frameworks continues for Thames Water, Welsh Water and
South West Water, and we are well positioned to win further work for the
Olympics in 2012.

Alan

cheers, i have been following for a while now and am pretty convinced they will win contracts for the olympics on top of all the other contracts they keep winning.

This years order book is now 2 months old and showing 60% of full year target.
That is without all the bonus of 2012 so it looks like a very good medium -long term play.
