Good Afternoon ,
Well the big busy day passed off unlike yesterday without any disappointment and no downgrades. Paddy Power stormed home in the lead with the most confident performance , Glanbia also performed well . FBD is cheap and have a busy few days on the road meeting investors so is developing a following in the UK and Europe so definitely worth a look , we think it is cheap but they mixed the results up with a decent insurance result offset by the further noncash writedown on the Irish Hotels which impacted NAV.. The stock needs to see the NAV figure finally bottom out but we are very close now…and Tullow had good news about its Ugandan reserves but the stock fell back on news that the Heritage deal final approval had been delayed again.
The day was marked by a successin of brokers saying that it is too late to be a bear on CRH and obviously more than me was caught out on this one…the stock showed some signs of the floor holding today at the 11.85 level. Yield and the proximity to tangible values provides support while earnings measures still look tough.
Aer Lingus was up a tad on the back of the suspension of the work to rule ad the stock is definitely one to get involved in as soon as this issue starts to dissipate.
The big news though was the S&P downgrade of
Another tough day overall for markets again down about another 1%.
Quiet day in
I just see that Paddy Power has given up most of today's initial gains….now there is an opportunity to have a second bit at the cherry…I really do like this one and unlike CRH they have not disappointed..
I am away tomorrow but back on Friday
Have a good evening
Liam
