maybe so but I wouldn't mind betting Capita will be looking for something in return i.e more business. I don't see them simply settling for lower margins on their existing contracts. The Govt needs Capita and their ilk to make efficiency savings since it's pretty clear the Civil Servants who run things haven't a clue about running services efficiently.

The Government will have to tighten the screw on Capita even further then :-

"Britain had a larger budget deficit in October than economists forecast, underlining the challenge facing Prime Minister David Cameron as he tries to cut record levels of borrowing.

The shortfall was 9.8 billion pounds ($15.6 billion), the largest for any October since at least 1993 and up from 9.4 billion pounds a year earlier, the Office for National Statistics said in London today. The median of 13 forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey was a deficit of 8.9 billion pounds. The deficit excluding government support for the financial sector was 10.3 billion pounds.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne on Oct. 20 detailed the deepest spending cuts since World War II, which aim to all but eliminate the deficit within four years. The plans have cast a shadow over the prospects for the economy, with consumer confidence falling to a 19-month low last month."

Positive broker sentiment helped today with Numis Securities lifting its rating on the outsourcer to "buy" from "add", ahead of a trading update this Thursday.

Looks like it is coming back on it, with this contract win. They have £4.4billion short listed tenders so you would think that after the spending review order wins should start to emerge?

It was good at £8.30, but I then expressed that it was a quick move up there.

Anyway with double dip recession now, once fully priced into shares will see this one around 640-670p. I will review situation then and maybe add if world economy & UK also look a bit better, at the moment no chance.

Now just wondered, CPI, has been buying own shares since £8.20 level, was that good use of share holders funds? I would keep the money and buy back shares only when the share price itself is strugling, due to say market sentiment or short seller pressure etc Otherwise why waste share holders cash money? Every purchase they make is currently losing value day by day. Also even a child could tell that they were buying near all-time high values. I just dont get it, sorry, why buy when near high?

They should have just kept the money and bought if share price falls to all time low or give it to share holders in the form of special div. Anyway good luck all investing.

Who gives a *@$$*@* !!!

[dorset64] 30/6/2010 12:09

Traitor! :-)

[trickyboyfish] 30/6/2010 12:05

If the long term trend from April 09 stays intact then it should bounce around this price. IMHO

[mali7] 30/6/2010 11:52

Weekly chart looking negative now

[dinky rinky] 28/5/2010 10:07

There's your answer.

[mali7] 25/5/2010 08:31

2 days of belwo £8 share price, and suddenly management is not buying more shares? Are they now waiting for it go over £8 to buy more back? Or they thinking, we should have bought lower, so now wait till bottom before heavy buying? I find it a bit strange.
