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!

One of only two blue arrows on my portfolio today.

Company reported in line with expectations:

Group turnover for the 13 week period ended 26 March 2004 increased by 6.6% to
37.3 million (2003: 35.0 million).

Profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items
increased by 17.2% to 14.3 million (2003: 12.2 million).

Yep, that's about all I know too. I'm not to eager to jump in yet, I'd rather let it find its feet first. My luck it'll find its feet far higher than it is at present.

LONDON (AFX) - Buyers came for Dignity (DTY) after Panmure Gordon told clients to 'buy' and stepped up its price target to 365 pence from 320 in the wake of what the broker described as a 'very impressive' site visit.

Share price has risen by a third in 6 months.

Super chart ">

Edit: Why hasn't it worked? Thought I had followed the instructions. Obviously had not.

Let's try again



Success!!

TOK,

I have just edited your post and chart should be fine now.

Ian

Thanks Ian. And I thought I had done it all by myself. Never mind, it's still a super chart.

They charge about 30% more than Co-Op for a basic funeral plan, so a good bit of that should be profit. imho.....Graeme.

Excellent results today !

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
