Aug 25th 2011 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on H.R.Owen (HRO.L, LSE:HRO, LON:HRO) entitled "The New Strategy". In summary, the report says:

While it has drifted back from its highest levels, the H R Owen share price responded well to the publication of the review of operations at the time of its AGM. Action by management over the past two years has created a more stable business, with a clear strategy for the future. We have not adjusted our targets, but do look ahead with increasing confidence.

Aug 01st 2011 - Edison Investment Research today published a report on H.R.Owen (HRO.L, LSE:HRO, LON:HRO) entitled "Bentley Acquisition". In summary, the report says:

H R Owen has reinforced its recent strategy announcement with the acquisition of Broughtons of Cheltenham for a cash consideration of £1.5m. The group will pay goodwill of £1.1m; in addition it will repay a loan of £1.3m and assume the undisclosed bank overdrafts of the business. We expect the deal to be earnings enhancing from 2012 – it represents a strong strategic move for the future.

As anticipated six months ago, with the 2010 interim announcement, the group’s full year figures demonstrate that H R Owen is back on course.

More detailed plans are due to be announced shortly, outlining the strategy for taking the group forward.

The earnings look irregular. Obviously if they can keep up this year's profit, the share is very interesting. Why the big jump in a recession year, I wonder. Their "normal" profit seems to be around 6m. Thisa year 20m+

Stochastics are on the roof which put me off a little.

This year should be better than lastlif they can keep financial discipline presumably learnt in the recession.

Not sure on this one.

There appears that something is happening with H.R. Owen, the shares are moving with little or no buying. They moved up 2p this morning on a purchase of 2,000 shares.

The spread is 68.25 - 72p but the Market Makers are unwilling to sell more than 500 shares.

Is there an announcement in the offing? By MyrddinW ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:HRO.L&display=discussion&id=5795796&action=detail Tue, 12 Jan 2010 12:02:00 GMT MyrddinW tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.5778861
Yesterday, they fell on what appeared to be no selling.

What's happening? By MyrddinW ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:HRO.L&display=discussion&id=5778861&action=detail Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:53:00 GMT MyrddinW tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.4646675
From memory i think that prior to the disposal of the Volvo sites, H R Owen operated from 7 locations. Therefore their total sales for new and used cars for 2008, was 3 cars per branch, per week. I know that the company is in the premium brand sector, ( but did also have Volvo at the time), however, these figures appear to be staggeringly low.

I would personally doubt if there is a motor industry business model in the UK, with sales results like this.

I have been told that the “-ton” in Shelton is from the “-ton” in Crichton. Are they a concert party and should this be disclosed under the Takeover Code?
