Charles Stanley forecast for current financial year is 1.4p eps ..........Prospective p/e is 6.4 ...@ 9p
Universe is a well established AIM company that looks on the road for recovery after being hit by the AIM fallout in mid 2006, it has a forecast of 1.4p eps & delayed orders should see a continued strength in financials. They are in the middle of selling a non essential part of the business which should soon reduce debt significantly. Furthermore mentioned in the interim results: "All our products and services give Universe continuing revenue after installation. The Company's recurring service income was 40% of HTEC sales in the first half."
..... I think this gives quite a bit of stability

Looking at the sp graph this looks like carelessness - just where is the good news that Posters think will boost this stock.
As I see it they are providing a small part of an overall scheme where oilcos and banks are strong players. Under those circumstances what USP...or market strength does Universe Group have?
Not small enough to be written off, but falls over the recent days must make it look as though the trend continues....what they need is some bright new ideas and maybe a parallel market to exploit, using their current T/O as a bread and butter line until they find a gem.
However, I don't think they have one yet.
Any contrary views?

Interesting interview with Stephen McLeod, Chief Executive Officer of Universe Group.
