Been hammered this past month, unjustified if you read the IMS 13/10 and do not forget the Panmure BUY with target 364!

Doing good. Now I have to wait for dip FTSE several days up we all know what next.

180 here we come!

SDL will bounce up 10% in the next few days

Told you so SDL up Friday 14/11/08 up 32 points = 16.75% SP now 222

7.3% up again today

The situation with Chrysler may have a short term impact on SDL, when you look at the list of major contracts - ABN-Amro, Best Western, Bosch, Canon, Chrysler, CNH, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Philips, SAP, Sony, SUN Microsystems and Virgin Atlantic.

Totally unjustified in my view, but we are not enjoying markets that react logically at the moment.

I'm surprised that nobody seems to be interested in this thread. SDL have made it into the FTSE250 and forecast to beat analyst estimates on revenue and profit in their 2009 results (due 1 March).

Business Financial Newswire Dated 1st march 2010
"Information management solutions group SDL claimed record sales and operating profit in the year to December.

Revenue was up 8% at 171.9m from the previous 158.8m.

Profit before tax and amortisation of intangibles rose 17% to 29.8m from 25.6m. Operating profit was 23.6m, against the previous 19.9m.

Adjusted earnings per ordinary rose 16% to 29.05p from 24.99p.

The group finished with net cash of 46.2m, up from 31.2m a year earlier.

SDL said it anticipated paying its first dividend for the 2010 financial year. "

Good to see two new Broker notes out yesterday backing this stock with BUY recommendations.

Rather cheap given historical P/Es going forward and should be plenty of upside.............

SDL worth giving this the once over. Lower indicators showing positive with MACD crossing over the signal line (advfn data a lttle slow) and a bullish trend channel in place.

Seems to be quite a bit of Broker backing aswell. Hoping for a trading SP target of 535p.

Brokers concensus figures for forward P/E is a very cheap 13.9 for a World leading tech stock.

Far too cheap.
