I'd be a little miffed if I'd bought in at £7 but at these levels with the prospect of consolidation I see only a limited downside.
The dividend will certainly go but I would need to know whether the Fedex contract actually contributes to the bottom line before investing.
Not a clear picture but then that would be too easy.

FDX want quality not cheapness, no good getting a cheap price if the service is not upto expectations.

[lord r] 31/1/2006 13:57

Would have thought the recent profit warnings will play into Fedex's hands when it comes to renegotiation, rather than BPG.

You may have the last word on this one after all!!

Don`t expect the renewal of FDX contract to be a foregone conclusion!

[olivia5] 31/1/2006 10:44

more importantly what if they dont renew?. see sub 3 on this one a cat bounce today on the down trend. should be intresting to see if they fall away at close again.

Selftaught - what makes you think FDX contract will be renewed??

[olivia5] 30/1/2006 12:03

A foreign buyer? Not at these levels.

[selftaught] 29/1/2006 20:12

At least most of the bad news is out in the open now. FedEx contract will be renewed.

A foreign buyer could be interested in BPG, given access to UK Mail market.

[olivia5] 29/1/2006 20:08

you still cant hide from the current earnings though. theyve halfed.
It has to make you wonder whether they are being squeezed out the picture.

[ken50] 29/1/2006 19:44

I still think consolidation in the postal sector will start now tha market has opened up.Even if BPG isn't the first to be taken over it will certainly be on a list of potential targets.Its network has a lot more value to a competitor than its share price suggests.Imagine all the sales and admin costs that could be stripped out.

Numis target was £1.97

Does anyone know how significant the FedEx contract is to the overall business?
In other words, if BPG lost the FedEx contract, how big a loss would this be to BPG?
