I did some work accross the road from there Malaga workshop last week,very busy but sorta looked they have out grown there premises.
The place i was at was making more moulds for there floats,with all this oil&gas work around i would imagine there will be demand.
Anyone any thoughts on the tech side?
 
See the latest report. Look like a great company. PE is around 11 with > 400% revenue growth expected next FY.

Yes what a great company. I now own a nice part of it (20% of my portfolio).
Expected to double profits again next year, 49% ROE low pay out ratio, not much debt, great cash flow, excellent growth prospects - a real compounding machine.
Wish I could find more companies like this one. I also lucked out in timing sp up 8.3% in 2 weeks I have owned it - I know wont make much difference when planning to hold long term but very happy.
 
I also hold this one - looks like a great company no matter which way you look at it.

Interestingly, the share price has gone down today. I am guessing it is because of the 2nd oil rig in the US exploding? Or could it just be some profit taking since it has gone up a lot recently?

Either way, it's still a bargain even at yesterday's price!
 

Time is your friend if you own a great company. It is great to feel so relaxed about short term sp fluctuations.

Found the attached valuation of MCE among other stocks from Roger Montgomery's valueline portfolio. Bought the stock on this basis. Does anyone know much about the future prospects of MCE?

Manufacture of subsea flotation devices give this company exposure to the oil and gas sector. As the oil price goes up it makes it more economical to deploy more oil and gas platforms into deeper water. MCE is building a new state of the art facility in Henderson WA with direct access to docks. MCE also has very little competition (only 3 other companies worldwide).
 
Thanks, will stick with it and see what happens. The low debt and expansion prospects are definitely appealing.
 
in montgomery's valueline portfolio above, why would he buy cochlear at $74 if he thought it was worth somewhere in the low-mid $50s?
 
That column is just the market price at the start of the financial year, not what he paid.

I think he did originally "pay more than what they are worth" but the difference wasnt that much.
 
Great to find MCE getting cheaper in todays market. Picked up a few more.
Happy days

So did I - There was no announcement and the oil price didn't plummet so it was just Mr Market being in a bad mood Still trading well below IV so there is a nice margin of safety. Awesome
 
I cant wait till the next quarterly report to see how big the order book is. Industry is starting to become highly aware of their reliance on Matrix product and the long lead time in the current order book. Placing an order with matrix is very high in the list of things to do if you plan any new commisioning in the next 2 years.
 
I had a giggle at this:

Yes have got to love the Consensus of one.
I think UBS broker based this on no new orders for MCE. Do you think he looked hard enough to see MCE is currently at full capacity and building a new facility to significantly increase capacity?

I was wondering why sp dropped in such a positive week for the market in general. Anyway, filled my existing holding up @ $4.68 on the 25th and 26th October sp now $5.15, I should buy that broker a beer.
 
It's been following market sentiment in the last few days after a good run but that just gave us all a chance to buy more at a cheaper price. Picked up some more at 5.25 last night. My own valuation of MCE for 2011 is $7.08 with a 14% required return.
 

I get $8.35 using a 14% threshold. I bought in at $2.71, $$5.09 and $5.16

Good luck Ubtheboss - MCE is my biggest holding!
 
Thanks Magic! Don't think we need luck with MCE though. Luck is for speck stocks. MCE is value all the way The only luck we need is for the nervous Nelly's to sell in the short term so we can keep picking them up.

I think the macro-market situation may hold some choppy times ahead with unemployment in the US ticking up and sovereign risk still a worry in Europe. Just means more dip buying for MCE holders though
