Only Oscar Wilde understands SIG plc

2020-02-25 11:00:49

In my estimations for all the love given to the utterances of Warren Buffett, investors would be even better served by mixing up the thoughts of the Sage of Omaha with the wit of Oscar Wilde. This is because reading today's regulatory news offering by building products company SIG (SHI), I was reminded of the latter's line that 'to lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness'…

SIG – why listening to an old hand is smart

I last wrote about the 'leading European supplier of building materials' SIG (SHI) back in early July, observing that it was failing to cost-cut its way to growth due to the business being operationally/economically geared.

Oh dear...but today's 22% share price fall has pushed the shares below 100 pence...

SIG proving you can't cost cut your way to growth

2019-07-05 10:00:58

I think it was after some great storm which had ripped up a few thousand roofs that I first became aware of SIG plc (SHI), which describes itself as a 'leading European supplier of building materials'. A fund manager colleague of mine was all over it like a rash and I remember one old-hand responding at the time 'SIG is easy...you buy at one quid and sell when you have made a decent turn'. Looking at the company's share price chart over the last decade, this advice has been pretty spot on…
