Xaar – prior H2 weighting & confidence evolves into a profit warning

Previously updating on 2017 trading, inkjet technology company Xaar (XAR) stated an “in line” performance though “revenue will be more second half weighted than usual with growth anticipated from recently introduced new products”. A “Trading Statement” now opens with that “the board now expects that revenue in the second half year will be broadly in line with the first half”. Uh oh…

XAR

Xaar plc – more positive trading update following profit warnings aplenty, but…

Digital inkjet printing technology company, Xaar plc (XAR) has updated that 2014 profit is expected to be higher than (previously vastly reduced) market expectations on revenue of approximately £108 million, though that its expectations for 2015 remain unchanged – including total sales to not exceed £100 million. The following reviews the current state of play here.

Xaar plc – profit warning drives lower, Edison updates its view

Following another profit warning last week, shares in inkjet printing technology company Xaar plc (XAR) continued to fall – closing the week at 420p. I update in the following with them now having nudged slightly higher towards 423p and on the back of an update from researcher Edison.

XAR

Xaar plc – another profit warning vindicates me - but is this dog a recovery buy?

Shares in inkjet printing technology company, Xaar plc (XAR) are more than 20% lower at 439p following its announcement of results for the first half of 2014, which included a warning that “during the third quarter, demand from the ceramic tile decoration sector has softened, which we believe relates to a slowdown in construction activity in China. In light of this, the board's expectation for 2014 revenue has reduced to £115-125 million, with adjusted operating margin projected to be broadly in line with the 26% achieved in the first half of the year”. Oh dear. Woof, Woof.

Xaar plc – do the recent director share purchases mean jack shit?

Having fallen from 742.5p to 560p on the back of a profit warning as I wrote last month (see HERE), shares in digital inkjet printing technology company Xaar plc (XAR) would eventually fall to sub 500p. They have currently recovered a bit to 530p and the following updates in light particularly of some director share buying which looks to have sparked much of the recent rise.

XAR

Xaar - buy the overreaction to Tuesday's update

Good buying opportunities often come soon after an over-reaction to bad news, and I believe that to be the case with Xaar (XAR). As long as the news itself doesn’t pinpoint any fundamental problems with the business model, and therefore future of the company, these overdone drops can create fantastic value-for-money opportunities, both in the short and long term.

Xaar plc – profit warning vindicates my earlier caution

Shares in digital inkjet printing technology company Xaar plc (XAR) currently trade more than 24.5% lower today, at 560p, on the back of a disappointing trading update. Having been consistenly cautious on the shares since I first covered them on this website last Summer (see HERE) and as recently as April (see HERE), the following updates.

XAR

Xaar plc – 2014 thus far “consistent with the board's expectations”, but already more than in the price?

Digital inkjet printing technology group, Xaar (XAR) has updated that trading thus far in 2014 has been consistent with expectations and that it is “confident that its expectations will be achieved for the full year”. The shares have currently nudged higher to 832p on the back of the announcement though the following reviews with the company having a “more stable” outlook following a prior year “rapid acceleration of the adoption of Xaar's technology into Chinese ceramic tile manufacturing”.

Ocado has had a very good run over the last 3 months and is up nearly 80%. It’s off a bit and any general market sell off is going to hit anything considered a tech stock especially hard. I’d say it looks a good call to short.

Why worry about France 10 year 4.92% today, having a better day ( avoided a downgrade) at the same time the basket case seems to be UK 10 year 5.35% and that is before the budget.German 10 year 3.37%.Everything seems to be a worry. Is it the nights drawing in and the rainy/stormy weather?The heating going on after a glorious summer, adds to costs!It starts to feel like cash is king and dividend paying stocks is the place to be.Though the government might increase the tax companies pay on dividends, decreasing the value of dividends paid to shareholders, a socialist government would claim it only effects the rich.Stocks and Shares ISAs in the UK stands at approximately £531.2 billion if dividends are £25 billion a year a 10% increase on dividends before they reach your ISA would raise £2.5 billion.I would not put anything past these socialist bastards.
