Liberum Capital's target for their recommendation was or is £4 ! So it was one of those pointless ones.

I suspect there is no good reason. Usual market boll@@ks ; profit from the swing if you can.

There was also general recent criticism of private UK companies being paid to rehabilitate criminals leaving prison. Many get paid, but fail to rehabilitate. However, as I understand it, IRV does a good job in this field.

People read these media criticisms and tar everyone with the same brush.

Probably a result of the poor UK construction and uninspiring economic figures out this morning.

[salpara111] 04/5/2016 14:52

Quite a hit.
I guess the constant talk in the papers of middle eastern countries slashing their budgets due to POO makes for negative sentiment.
I have been in IRV twice in the last 5 years, the first time I scored a double which was great the second time I sold for a much more modest 10% gain.
I always keep an eye on them and if the divi is safe which it looks to be then I am inclined to take a stake again.

A 10% fall seems way overdone, especially given the undemanding valuation.

Is Liberum an especially influential investment bank?

I think I'll exercise my Liberum Arbitrium and stay invested here...

[dogwalker] 04/5/2016 13:59

Liberum say 'sell' today. Haven't read their piece yet.

Surprising on no visible news aside from the contract win. A big move.

[sundance 13] 04/5/2016 13:18

Any ideas what's happened here, why an 8% fall?

[hardupfedup] 04/5/2016 10:23

see what it ends up at

[wad collector] 04/5/2016 10:09

Hmm , down 20p this morning for the usual frustrating pattern. Patience....

[edmundshaw] 03/5/2016 14:10

Contract seems to have woken up the market a bit...

[edmundshaw] 28/4/2016 22:33

Doesn't seem a serious and material breach, if the workers are not directly employed. So no reason to bruit the news about...

i thought irv assets are mainly in infrastructure- what is the proportion for oil and gas

[edmundshaw] 25/4/2016 10:45

Oil $43, good news for oil services with this recovery in oil price...

"Perhaps someone from the company saw my post here and reacted..."

LOL! Of course they did, son.

[bertiebru] 21/4/2016 10:11

Quite a lot of companies keep an eye on BBs like this one, but probably not Interserve. The CEO of one company I invested in followed everything posted on their Advfn site.

[wad collector] 21/4/2016 09:50

Somehow doubt they look at BBs!

[bertiebru] 21/4/2016 00:09

It was not there in the Contracts part of Investor Relations when I looked. Perhaps someone from the company saw my post here and reacted - otherwise they are extremely slow in keeping investors posted.

[hardupfedup] 20/4/2016 18:46

its on there under investor relations tab

[bertiebru] 20/4/2016 17:47

Just looked up contract wins on their web site and they haven't even bothered to put info on the new contract there. So much for keeping shareholders informed.

[cerrito] 19/4/2016 13:07

yes wad collector about the publicity but not sure how much it will move the dial...ie contract equal to about 5 1/2 days of total 2015 revenues and 9 days of Support Services 2015 UK revenues..but at least in the most profitable part of the business and better than a kick in the backside.

Good thanks.
