You can guess what Ashtead says next after observing “despite robust end markets…”!

Ashtead (AHT) offers rental opportunities in “a full range of construction and industrial equipment across a wide variety of applications to a diverse customer base”. I can remember about twenty years ago, when I used to sit opposite someone who was convinced that it would go bust but it avoided that, and the-then sub 10p share price hit over a sixty quid level a couple of years ago. Sadly, I was never clever enough to get involved in the stock during the glory years, but that also means I have no exposure when it announces a bit of a mixed update this morning…

A little bit over three years ago, I observed that Ashtead Group (AHT) is “still a geared play on US economy Inc”. And because I am only smart enough to follow some of my own insights, I failed to capture the rise from the sub twenty quid share price then to about a 5400p level today. Naturally though, the share price has been somewhat more volatile over the last eighteen months as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and the average American economic thinker has had to worry about the impact of this.

So I sold the lot. Needless to say, that folly sparked yet another rally. I’m still shy of the shares, though. For the same reason: that good things don’t last forever. However, the firm’s latest numbers look to prove me wrong yet again.
