The above company has to be brought to Investors attention, with a P/E circa of 8 and news coming from the company that business is in fine shape and with a more or less Monopoly in its Marine Division and Cabel Laying division, a price target of 2.00 cannot be far away.

Make no mistake this is a well managed company, and does well in both Bull and Bear markets, a fine addition to anyones growth portfolio.G

Goldfinger - we've seen a little volatility recently but stabilising now and as you say, clear of 4 and we're off again. Big gains to come medium term with nuclear decommissioning. I would not be surprised to see acquisitions as well. Excellent management team to boot.

Hi GF suprised to see you on here.[dont know why]. Was looking at fsj a year ago but forgot all about them[the word plonker comes to mind]. Still, bought in July but they started going sideways. Perhaps there will start to climb a bit.

Fingers crossed Guys.

cheers GF.

Dave - try looking at a four year chart. Not much sideways movement in that context!

Nice to see this one having a positive spell.

Cheers, Madison

Now up over the 4 quid barrier, NICE.

cheers GF.

Off to a great start again!

Cheers, Madison

This one has been hovering for quiet a while and little news coming from the company. I suspect they're progressing well in the background and we're now in for a period of upward momentum.

Nice surprise this morning. Put in a limit order last night after scanning this thread and doing a bit of research and got filled pre-market at 4.06

Yup superb , this is more like it.

cheers GF.

Maintaining its rise upwards.

P/E to 31 Dec 2006 = 14.4

P/E to 31 Dec 2007 = 13

Derd cheap.

cheers GF.

Moving up nicely.

cheers Gf.

Nice bounce off the support at 400p

Breaking out again. Excellent...

any story to this today?

Cheers, Madison

Dont know of any yet. Will post If I find anything. Looking rather good.

cheers GF.

This one hasn't done much for a while but it looks as though we are finally heading off into uncharted waters. I'm looking for continued strength as the marine sector and nuclear decommissioning arm continue to gain momentum. Perhaps more acquisitions along the way too.

Spot on.

cheers Gf.

Stepping up again this morning. This could thunder on now, like the 1.40 to 3.00 run.

Im hoping so GH. It looks very promising.

cheers GF.

Superb results today....

James Fisher reports 32 pct rise in profit from continuing ops to 10.7 mln stg
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Marine services provider James Fisher & Sons PLC reported 2005 profit from continuing activities of 10.7 mln stg, a rise of 32 pct, following the transformation of the company from a traditional shipping company into a marine services company.

James Fisher said its Marine Support Services grew by 34 pct in 2005, and now accounts for 57 pct of profit from continuing operations.

The company said it would propose a final dividend of 8.79 pence per share, up from 7.7p the last time.

With analysts looking for further news on the discontinuation of its Cable ship division, James Fisher said it has written down severely its remaining ship, Oceanic Princess, and will sell it in due course.

Looking forward, Chairman Tim Harris said the company 'is well placed to generate significant organic growth through 2006 and beyond. It has the financial strength to continue its acquisition strategy when the right opportunities arise.'
