The company is into infrastructure work for roads and railways.

It crossed my radar when a my builder asked me if I had heard of them, as he had had a conversation with a third party saying they were going places. (he does not do shares so was not ramping it to me)

I did some research and thought "Well the government are into infrastructure spending so maybe worth a punt."

This is hardly sexy stuff, pushing Piles into the ground, but I dipped my bread at 101 and expected to regret this impulse buy. However so far there appears to be others thinking the same. Not on the radar of the various BBs that I can find so other than my builder not being talked up. (Till now by me.)

Proceed with caution

Just a shake surely? :-)

That's the man who put the mockers on the company. :-))

I'm waiting for a pull back to a quid :-)

Bloody rampers! :-)

Don't tell me you got drawn in to the hype skinny?!!!

No - I recognised most of the protagonists on the thread - so knew better! :-)

Just saw the chart and thought they had gone bust.

Read the accounts and nothing wrong there so just need to deliver on second half expectations.

Might join the party when the dust settles , that will really feck them up :-)

Ramper!

Well at least I'll do a better job than you and Mike :-)

Naked Trader - Van Elle put out a statement which I thought was ok but the market didn't like. I was in a good profit but ended up with a loss. Under my get out quick policy I quit for a loss of £84.

Well I wasn't aware NT was still around let alone in Van Elle.

Takes me back many years when he first appeared (Sunday Times? and ADVFN)

He does well. :-))

So it would seem NT is back in again. I wondered why the price was holding despite a steady drip of sales over the last few days.

And supposedly in IC out tomorrow, which is probably more meaningful.

I'm still in with a few more that I started with, cannot see a bad story but hey ho who knows.

As Martini said, covered in this weeks IC. Good write up and a buy.

re - Good write up and a buy.

it does not look like from what the directors said today ............

from Market report

Van Elle Holdings (VANL), down 19.74% to 91.5p, said directors now expected it to deliver FY revenue of about £93m, some 5% below its earlier views. It said this was due to a number of contract start dates being delayed beyond the current FY.

Van Elle Holdings said its directors now expected the company to deliver FY revenue of about £93m, some 5% below its previous expectations.

It said, as indicated in January 2017, there were a number of contracts within the Specialist Piling division expected to be confirmed and commenced in the second half, particularly in the division's on-track rail business.

"The Company now anticipates the start date for several of these contracts will be delayed beyond the end of the current financial year and, in a small number of cases, the expected call-off schedule and distribution of work packages may be revised," said Van Elle in a statement.

Whilst the company still expected to deliver a number of these contracts on revised time schedules, it would not receive the previously expected contribution from them in the current financial year.

"As a result, the board now expects to deliver full-year revenue of approximately £93m, some 5% below its previous expectations, with the Group's underlying operating margin slightly reduced as a result of the adverse mix impact," the company said.

It noted that cash generation in the group remained strong and directors intended to recommend a final dividend in line with its expectations at the time of the IPO.

Overall trading in Q3, which included significant levels of activity in December and January, was in line with directors' expectations.

As a result, for the nine months to 31 January 2017, the group delivered total revenues of £70.8m, representing growth of 16.4% on the prior year.

"Conditions in Van Elle's end markets remained satisfactory throughout the period and the Group continued to focus on generating improving returns through strong operational execution."

Van Elle said trading since the start of Q4 across the General Piling, Ground Engineering Services and Ground Engineering Products divisions has continued to reflect stable underlying market conditions and the group expects the outturn in these divisions for the current financial year to be in line with its previous expectations.

Making too many cock ups for my liking.
