As Diginty is new to the martkets and the first funeral services company to be floated, what are your views on its future potential?

There appears to be little data on which to ascertain a valuation.

I don't suppose we are going to run out of dead people!

solid results - any update on forecasts for next year anyone - for me a steady climber with positive chart - hopefully 450p plus this time next year - happy to keep tucked away and shares should now resume a climb back to their high. shares mag should I expect make some positive comment next week as well.

Moving towards that 450p mark.

441.75 on the bid. Lots of people are buying and tucking away.

Funeral services provider Dignity issues its first quarter results which will see the company going up against some strong comparative figures from a year earlier. As such, Panmure Gordon is expecting "a flat YOY [year-on-year] performance." "We are forecasting revenues of £60.5m, which is +2.4% ahead of the £59.1m delivered last year, with flat EBIT [earnings before interest and tax] of £22.6m YOY," Panmure Gordon revealed, adding that the first quarter typically accounts for 28% of annualised revenues and nearly 35% of EBIT, so sets the tone for the year.

Where have you dug this up from DC???? (sorry about the pun). The way the markets are going it would be worth a lot of relations of share holders investing in this company. They can't loose.

I was waiting for the comments 3m :-)) May need their services soon if Range does not pick up.

Trading Statement
14 May 12 Dignity PLC [DTY]

You didn't have to wait long DC did you?? Range and a load of others - off the subject good old BT told me yesterday that I would have traffic lights outside my house from 8.00 a.m. this morning for 8 hours, also went on the BT's faults web page to read that from 8.08 a.m. this morning an engineer would be working on the fault - same shit I have had since 13th April, same as my neice has been told. Guess what nobody and nothing, been awake since 2.00 a.m. this morning, head completely done in now so the coffin makers may be here sooner than later. Have a good weekend. Have you got shares with the above?

This is one of a couple of companies reporting next week , I did not even know they are a funeral service company. You can learn something every day. Sorry to hear of the ongoing probs, not funny. Good weekend 3m

The group said that while the year started relatively quietly, the business has been noticeably busier in March compared to the previous year

Investec called the report “another strong set of results”, which it said was due to a combination of the death rate and a robust average spend, and raised its target price on the stock to 1,038 pence per share from 992 pence previously.
