Trading update There is some softening in sales growth compared to the first quarter and free cash flow looks to be much weaker than at the interim stage last year.[link]

Re: Why big SP moves? I'm always nervous after buying shares in a Company for the first time. DPLM is looking more promising as time goes by. The fundamentals look solid. They have a speciality type niche so should not face too much competition. The PE and EBITDA/EV suggest fully priced so IMO a weak buy at these prices but a strong one if SP falls significantly without good reason.

Why big SP moves? I do not understand why SP moves around so much without any news, at least that I have seen. Fri to Tue down 4% then today up 5.2%. I'm not complaining as back in profit from recent purchase on 11 Feb.

Volume rising The last few days volume has risen from less than 50K shares traded a day to 232K yesterday and today volume already above 50K at 9 AM. In Nov and Jan when volume rose it was followed by a fair sized increase in SP. IMO SP is set to to rise considerably in the next couple of weeks. A big ordinary trade of 50,000 shares went through at 8:16 this morning at 805p. I am guessing it was a buy. I'm now in the black from modest sized 1st purchase of DPLM on 12 Feb. @ gross cost 785.165p a share. Onwards and upward I hope.

Re: Trading update This has been a very good share for me over some 10 years. I am quietly impressed by this latest statement

Re: Trading update I like this as a probable growth stock. Most fundamentals for it are good. Not cheap but today's fall makes me think it might be worth buying now. Gross margin has increased and PEG of 1.27 is a slightly higher than ideal. I am wondering now, why has SP fallen about 3.5% today? No new broker news. I am going to put it down to profit taking as SP had risen above mean.I think I will buy some today and more later if I feel it is right to. This is in case it has more to fall before getting back to trend.

Trading update Diploma stated at the time of their prelims that "...Given the strong comparatives and the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, the Board expects growth to trend this year towards our target "GDP plus" rates..." and their update conforms to this: [link]

Re: prospects Lambrini Girl WRONG Lambrini girl - I find your posts very misleading and many people are influenced by these in their by and hold decisions. Diploma is my best performing share and was my second highest holding. When I read your post you put some doubt in my mind and I sold half my holding. Since then the share price has risen 10% and I missed the dividend.If you cannot be bothered to justify your target prices with some information to help private investors like myself, then please don't randomly place target prices saying sell. In future I will be ignoring your posts as I have found you to be wrong on many of your predictions / guesses.
