AIM Investor Focus, the Blackthorn Focus (publisher of AIM Prospector) event for AIM-quoted companies and their investors will next run on Tuesday, April 21st at the City offices of finnCap.
AIM Investor Focus has been running since April 2012. In that time, some of the very most successful companies on AIM have participated. Five of the companies listed in this article 'The Ten Most Successful Companies on AIM' have presented at past AIM Investor Focus events.
26 companies have participated at AIM Investor Focus. 20 of these have since gone on to increase their dividends to shareholders at every subsequent opportunity.
AIM Investor Focus kicks off at 11am on Tuesday. Four companies are scheduled to present. They are: Christie (LON:CTG), EMIS (LON:EMIS), Fairpoint (LON:FRP) and NAHL (LON:NAH)
Christie (LON:CTG)Christie Group offers business transaction services to industry (sales agent, advice etc.) and stocktaking. The company is famous for being a favourite share of super-investor Lord John Lee. AIM Prospector commented in the March 2014 edition that the company"looks ideally positioned to benefit from the changing UK economy."
It appears that this claim was totally on-the-money as Christie went on to issue two profit upgrades in the last twelve months.
In the full year before the financial crisis, Christie reported a post-tax profit of £4.7m. Data from the company website www.christiebusinessoutlook.com shows how quickly prices being achieved for business assets are recovering. Today, the company has a market capitalisation of £40m.
EMIS (LON:EMIS)EMIS is an AIM blue-chip with a market cap of £570m. The company is a provider of software services to the healthcare industry. Dividends at EMIS have been increased every year for the last five years.
The most recent results showed a 30% increase in total revenues and a 15% dividend hike.
Stockopedia gives the shares a Quality score of 99.
It is extremely rare for private investors to be able to meet a company of EMIS' calibre at an investor event.
Fairpoint (LON:FRP)Fairpoint offers a range of legal and debt management services. Like EMIS, the company also has a five year history of dividend increases. EPS and dividend growth at the company are forecast…
