Ebos Limited EBO

[Ginger_steps_]

A decent correction going on here with no news othe than the ASX listing. Also very quiet on the BUY side - anyone care to elaborate? I thought people would be thinking about topping up at these levels?? Or maybe waiting for a confirmed support?

PE still around 20. Still a tad high for my liking.

Be careful with what you read on the internet

The EPS quoted most places is last years, and that only had one month of Symbion in it

With full year of Symbion EBOS should achieve NPAT of ~$90m this year so real PE is about 13 to 14 at the moment

Maybe still a bit high? No idea

For as long as I can remember,[and I have a long memory],EBO have traded between a PE of 13 and 16.
I am surprised the Australian listing has not seen EBO take off.
Mark Waller did say at the AGM a lot of Australian intos wanted forward projections,which EBO would not give.
The Symbion acquisition is a fantastic buy,and I expect to see EBO share price at $20.Just don't know whether it can happen in under three years,or not?!

I like EBOS - well run company, solid performer year after year. But right now, the depth is looking ugly and there's general negative sentiment. I'll be looking to buy a few once the down trend (which has been going now for three months) reverses.

Nigel,I think you are right to wait until the trend favours buying.
Over a good number of years I have noted EBO share price seems to do its own thing.Don't know why, but it does.Whenever I have got really nervous and thought something must be really wrong,the down trend seems to stop and up it goes again.Can be a bit of a concern when every thing except EBO is going up.

per consensus estimates at a shareprice of 9.00 pe is about 14.5x.

I imagine the continued AUD weakness means actual results will be lower, therefore EBOS still looks to be on 16 or 17x.

I want to do more research on this stock and think it could be a great long term investment. My concern about buying now is - if results disappoint in a few months, (likely given AUD), will this send the stock lower? On one hand I would think the market realises this already, but on the other I am surprised at the stupidity of the market on a regular basis.

H1 NPAT of $48m is in the bank ... so no half year surprises

Down another 3% today to 870

Moosie cheeky bid at 850 filled tomorrow ........might regret it

Maybe punters finally realised that nz profits fell in h2 for 2012 year .....and maybe that trend continuing this year.

H1npat in the bank .....some concern over h2 ....I don't know but not flavour of the month is it
