I am a contrarian through and through, but actually
I do see this a/seekers issue as a positive going forward.
Once the recently negotiated contracts have lapsed the world
and countries will need security companies for more than in
the recent past. So the amount of security work will actually
surge over the coming years and gfs will be in a wonderful
position to benefit. Also countries with existing contracts
with gfs might say take a hit on the present one but the future
ones will be very lucrative.

I continue to buy.

savage falls...............looks overdone
I know Woodford likes as well....must see directors buy more

[srpactive] 09/3/2016 11:33

Bought more.

[islam1] 09/3/2016 10:43

plus the other provisions if added back...and the dividend stays

[srpactive] 09/3/2016 10:24

I thought the results were okay, will be increasing later.

Without the goodwill hit we would have produced £144m profit
a 12% increase, just silly.

11.5% down after final results.

G4S, the world’s largest security company by revenue, said its pretax profit fell to GBP78.0 million from GBP128.0 million in 2014, hit by a GBP66.0 million goodwill charge it booked on businesses it has sold and on one of its operations in Estonia.

G4S also increased provisions against onerous legacy contracts in the UK, in particular its contract running centres housing asylum seekers for the Home Office, which has been put under pressure by the significant rise in the number of asylum seekers from Syria and the surrounding region that G4S has to house under the contract and the losses it makes on all those it takes in.

The Board recommends a final dividend of 5.82p per share, it will be paid on 10 June 2016 to shareholders who are on the register on 29 April 2016.

Invesco increases above 13%.

[srpactive] 02/3/2016 11:14

I have bought more here, I think by disposing of the
children's division a line could be drawn under the troubles
and investment and new management might be encouraged
to return gfs to it's better times.

The move is on, get ready for a retest of 225p.

[srpactive] 17/2/2016 16:37

Another 2.5m buy, someone is accumulating a large
stake, I will be buying more very soon, broke 201p
and closed above which is most positive.

I hope Archie Norman is going to follow Adam Crozier
here. Adam Crozier already here as non executive director.

6.2m trade after close at above the offer price,
on the day Archie Norman resigns from itv, lets hope
I am correct and he comes here along with Adam Crozier
who is already a non exec.

Yes, I have been buying here recently.

[srpactive] 05/2/2016 09:00

Yes here this morning, yes always on my radar, I sold
last year at 296p after buying around 250p.
I bought in initially due to seeing Adam Crozier is a non exec,
I bought into itv at 20 - 50p ( still hold ) when Adam Crozier
and Archie Norman joined, I have a feeling they will be heading
here once itv get bought.

Will increase very soon.
