TANDEM.... NOT ONLY A BICYCLE MADE FOR 2 - A BRILLIANT INVESMENT OPPORTUNITY TOO (TND)
legend290782 - 03 Feb 2005 13:30
The legend dipped his toe in the other week. This came from the tipper of ASC, DTG. Watch very very carefully. Potential 80% easily.
Very undervalued, plenty of cash, eps forecasts put company on a p/e of 3.
Although badly run, it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. DYOR

I think legend has made an interesting point about this share. I have researched this company with a fine tooth comb and as he puts it " There does seem to be light at the end of this tunnel" Nice tip again Legend
Tristan - 08 Feb 2005 01:58 - 3 of 124
can anyone shed any light on the sp tumble in the late months of 02/ beginning of 03? Have found limited independent explanation except "reorganisation costs as a result" (your reference to badly run legend?) but as yet unsure of the nature. It is perhaps absolutely irrelevant to current situation but is always nice to get a bit of background:) has been heading sideways for some time now, Legend are you looking at a possible breakout? cheers.tg

I've been in Tandem since they bought MV Sports a couple of years ago. Due to the dilution of my MV shares I don't have many Tandem shares. After last years results I did see favourable write ups with targets of 40p-45p being mentioned. I reckon that increased profits will start coming through and that the SP will be higher than it is now.. I will consider buying more, however, I reckon that in the short-term the SP will be marked down and I aim to consider buying more at anything below 17p.. (same happened last year.. went down a long way before results, announced 6th April).
I'm keeping these on my watch list for now but expect these to well 6-8 wks time
(All imho, dyor) Good luck all.. :)

SH, Tristan and Skyhigh
If you just look at the eps forecasts for this share, it puts the p/e at 3!!! This is a gift from the gods for a growth stock. Company has plenty of cash in bank too.
The guy that told me about them was the person that tipped me asos at 7p and Ben Bailey at 54p several years ago!!!!
Watch very very carefully.
If you want to see some of the stocks I have bought over the past few months, check the BB for BNH, PDX DA. Somehow, I think if you buy at this level you won't go far wrong ;-)

I have been in Tandem for about 3 months now. They are undervalued. I expect them to just gradually keep ticking up over the coming years.

I still see a drift down in the shares in the coming weeks before lift off at just before/during results..17/18p low then 40-45p high... 70p would be great.. but can't see it (imho)

Hi Legend,
I've looked at this and have joined you in this one. It makes aprofit and generates cash. I'm assuming the management is turning things round. Will the finals be better than expected?

I am sorry about da. profit maker... I thought there was only another 10% to be made... not 100%!!!
I sold out just before the mother of all contracts was announced!! Oh well made a nice return.
Put all the DAT into these. I hope you are still keeping BNH, plenty more to come imho.
I would hope this share will start getting some coverage soon. If I am honest, all i see is scrappy sellers 100-200 shares going through. If Broker get to the 1.60 level soon, I will just switch them into this. This is as good as anything at the mo.

I agree with you chaps, this one looks like a goer..
I'd like to see this one back to 17p to buy some more but
me thinks this one won't get below 20p again.
The moving averages for this share look very good,
few more days and the 50 could be crossing a rising 200 day
(always a good sign). Good luck all...Mark

Hi Mark,
Well, my broker is putting more and more of his clients in it. In the short time I have held this share, I cannot get over the scrappy amount of sellers there are!!! I mean, every day there are 100-200 share sells!!
Redmanyne Bentley tipped them as a buy in there aggressive share portfolio, and as I say, the right people are in them... that is good enough for me.
I am holding minimum till the results in april. A trading statement might be issued shortly (i am only guessing)

Hi Legend,
I only hold a relatively small amount (being only a small investor
at present) but am working on growing this.
As with all these shares, the next move is always a gamble.
ie do you gamble a small amount before the announcement news arrives or do
you wait ? This share is relatively cheap in my book, being rated at
around net assets so I think it has limited downside etc
Another share (lowly rated) MSI that I picked came good, I'm hoping
this one will too, only time will tell..

Hi legend --I keep watching and reading about these but I can't understand why your brokers get excited by the prospects though I'm sure there's a reason. Trading at asset value, sells bicycles and sports equipment--what's in the pipeline to set the market alight?? It seems this is the only way to make much profit in shares these days--I hold several good companies which hardly flicker! I don't want to add another one.

Investors Chronicle
27 August 2004
Tandem acquired MV Sports in April 2003 for 1.91m. The acquisition was quickly turned around and contributed operating profits of 1.25m last year. It also provides Tandem with a product-sourcing subsidiary in Hong Kong. Little is now manufactured in the UK, other than 40,000 Dawes and Claud Butler bicycles a year (out of a total of 350,000 sold by Tandem each year). Company broker Peel Hunt reckons that the benefits of the move offshore, in terms of reduced fixed overheads and improved margins, will push this year's profits over 1m
The Interim Profits before Taxation for the half year ending 31.07.04 were 173,000 compared with 45,000 the previous year
Has anyone any other estimates of the full years profits?

Right then people, you want Tandems forecasts, then here they are:
Peel Hunt have some forecasts from December covering the year to 31/01/05.
They are forecast to make 2.1m profit with Earnings per share of 5.5p.
On that basis they are on a p/e of under 5!!!!
Not much more to say about that really is there??!!! If only I had more money LOL

Thanks Legend for sharing the Peel Hunt forecast with us.
Tandem must have had a really good second half for them to increase their August forecast of 'over 1.0m' to $2.1m.
Do you know when they are due to announcing the results?

Morning.
Newbie to the site but am interested in TND, and I saw the profit forecasts above.
Just to clarify, the Peel Hunt forecast is for 1.25m in 2005, followed by 2.1m for 2006.
Still PER of 7.46 for 2005 is very appealing !

Hi HC,
Yes, I think it is worth a punt for sure, I hold a 100k, wouldn't put money into it if I thought I would lose it. My broker likes em. Plus Peel Hunt are the NOMAD for Tandem. I am happy with the forecasts. I got my broker to look at the REFS (Really Essential Financial Statistics) to get some forecasts.
Last year up to results, they got a lot of coverage in IC coming up to the results. I would hope the same this year. It has a bit of cash which looks appealing too.
I will try and post the REFS attachment that I got e-mailed the other day.
Keep Smiling

"I reckon that in the short-term the SP will be marked down and I aim to consider buying more at anything below 17p.. (same happened last year.. went down a long way before results, announced 6th April)"
Surprised this hasn't gone down more than it has at the moment.. Also, most small cap/AIM stocks have taken a battering recently despite good results in most cases..
Should be different once the results come out shortly, (unless there's an ugly surprise etc.)
But even if the results are good, sp could still go down/stay where it is! It's a funny old market at the moment..(imho)

Looking to punt on a decent penny share now... CFP looks like a decent one but will wait for drop around .30 & will pick some TND around 17p
Great BB!

Sidtrx. I have PXC also. this has gone down a little since results. was thinking about topping up into PXC or Tandem but... will go for SFX instead which is looking good for the medium term. Results are due shortly. There may be a cash call but the company is growing quickly and has good potential..(imho,dyor)

Can you not see whats going on??
EPS up nearly 80pc
Pre tax profit nearly doubled
company playing down results.... it looks as though they may try to take this private.
Also, any predator paying 30p per share will get their money back in 5 years!!
I think these are very good and too cheap

Agree that the results were good but there were a few concerns.
If they are cheap let's hope they rise to the right level soon.

The fact that the company are
1 playing down the results
2 Did not tell anyone when the results were and
3 Waited to friday to deliver them - the quietest day on the market.
If you were a chairman and eps doubled and pretax profit doubled would you not be happy??
Because they played it down, they were trying to keep sp low

Legend,
Thanks for bringing TND to MoneyAM discussion board but I think we are deviating when we talk about TND going private. Most shareholders are just interested in a decent return on their investment. I got in a few months ago and just looking for a 25% to 30% return. When do you think the SP will touch 30p. Thanks.

share price is now only back to where it was a month or so ago.. so have seen no real benefit from the good results yet... if the shares are considered cheap I would expect to see these 50% up in the next few weeks, at least, from where we are at the moment.. (imho)
legend290782 - 22 Apr 2005 13:09 - 67 of 124
Absolutely right... these are dirt cheap.
Ramu,i would expect very very soon.
Peel hunt have issued a research note saying that in the next year cash will be expected to account for 80% mkt cap!!!!!
Given the current retail climate, i think that these results are very very good.
Plenty of value in these. Not selling a single share

Ramu...
If Tandem wanted to take this private then i think they would have to pay at least 30p per share so I am not bothered either way.
Even so, I think someone will look to buy this. Anyone that does take this over at around 30p will get their money back in 5 years!!!!
Even though this is a 'retail' stock, it has tons of cash in relation to mkt cap... it has eps too. It may even pay a dividend - we shall see.
One thing i do know is that this has been the weirdest stock i have held - look over the past few months at the sellers 10,20,100 and some times 500 shares sold - absolutely loads of them. Then a buyer of around 20-100k!!
I think mms have been deceived thinking that they are picking up more stock than they actually are.
What did make me laugh was mms calling em down 3-4p over the past few weeks on only 20k shares sold on some days, and that yesterday they opened thes up down half a penny. I think this will reach my target very soon.
Has anyone seen KBC's research note??!! - even though EPS forecasts have gone down, it is very Bullish.
More than happy to hold - I am more confident than ever before now.

Beware of this company. I bought 7000 shares back in 2000 and through consolidation (or day light robbery!) I now possess 32 shares. In my experience 'consolidation' = poor management.
skyhigh - 25 Apr 2005 11:20 - 73 of 124
I don't know what anyone else thinks but I see no reason why Tandem would want to or need to consolidate shares now. Profits are good, eps good. mgmt good. The're looking to reduce costs further & squeeze out better margins over the next yr to maintain profit or improve profit a little as trading conditions are poor at the moment.
I lost alot money a couple of yrs ago when MV sports were aquired by Tandem. I don't expect to get it all back but if the sp were to double from here ( which i think is possible) I'd be happy.

Bella, i agree with skyhigh... i see no reason for consolidation, it has bags of cash and is generating plenty of cash. This is purely and simply a good value stock. If anything, I think it might get taken over if it keeps at this low level.
I am happy to let it run its course and tick up to a true and fair value. Not selling a single share for less than 30p

Who knows ! there are plenty of other shares I hold in the same boat... good results and profits but no share price rise!
Also, there is not much new investment in Aim/small caps going on at the moment.. may need to wait until the autumn...
TND profit forecast for the current yr is only 1.3m v 1.2m last yr- doesn't help... could also do with announcing dividend payment.. that would help..
I'm staying in TND as many shares I get out of because the're boring..do eventually sometimes come good...we'll see....

Re : my posts 49 & 52. ie "But even if the results are good, sp could still go down/stay where it is! It's a funny old market at the moment..(imho)"
looks as if it's going down & down afterall ! could be going sub 17p. TND not looking attractive in the med term not much profit increase this yr over last yr. not exciting at all. need aquisition/strategy newsflow etc.
Also, the current mkt conditions for these type of shares are crap at the moment.

You cannot keep these shares forever - the SP is down 20% and one poster thinks this will drift even further. However, I will be keeping mine until it touches 30p - hope this doesn't turn out to be just a dream!!
Barry,
There is a relationship between MV Sports and TND - check out Interactive Investor website for more details. Good luck.

The big trade imo is a buy as kbc have been on the bid for a bit now absorbing relatively large amounts of stock. This could be the company buying its own shares. As always, time will tell.

I doubt the SP will go beyond 24p unless there's a takeover or MBO. TND does not have any exciting products to make waves, newsflow is generally poor and management team are not exactly in the financial spotlight. In essence, this company is not hot but financials are okay. One to tuck away and i think one day in the next millenium you will wake up and these will be 30p..
Good luck to all investors

I am still in these. situation not ideal i know with the sp. it seems to me that the management are trying to keep the sp down for whatever reason.
Have a look at the latest rns... Also 2 days ago there were 200k bought at 17p - this is 0.5% of company... you can't do that too many times without someone noticing!!! I think someone might well be trying to build up a stake.
With net assets of 22p, tnd have 2.5m in bank,company generating cash together with the value of the brands, these seem to be worth much more than the market value of 6m (current sp)
Also, company has 12m tax losses, so if you say raleigh (or another large bike firm) acquired them for 8-10m, then they would be able to use against the profit.
I am happy to hold and ride it out. There is lots of value in this co.... all imho of course.

Profitmaker,
I agree this is not going well but my losses are such I am hoping for takeover/mbo just to cut the losses and move on. This stock is illiquid and lack of newsflow and poor investor relations has caused the SP to drift. However, it has now stabilised around 11p and barring any unusual negative external factors, I cannot see this dropping any further. All IMHO.

Even though these have done disastrously since I bought, I have held out throughout and feel that one day over the next year or so that these will give me a return...
Based on fundamentals these seem cheap and the company seem more positive now.
I personally thought that the interims were spot on and traditionally this business makes more profit in the second half of the year.... so we shall look forward to see what the christmas period brings.
