Surely this is oversold - it's worse than a year ago!

Good positive press for Qinetiq's "Robo Wars" technology in this BBC R4 programme yesterday. Not yet available on i-player (soon). Lets hope it helps to repair the damage to the share price.

This does seem to be giving , somewhat.

Listened to the Commons Accounts Committee grilling the public servants over defence spending deficit last night.Something big has got to give.Hopefully not QQ.

Rather selective quoting there, srpet

an end of day close above the high of the day so far at GBP1.519 could actually suggest that a bear trap has been set in place.

seeing as the EOD close wasn't above GBP1.519

In fact, this sentence would seem to be more applicable

there has been a gap through the black 200 day moving average at GBP1.48. An end of day close below this feature is probably a very negative sign for the shares, and would suggest that we have seen a significant trend change.

OOPs - never buy just for the divi!

[wad collector] 15/1/2010 12:51

Maybe IC were right after all.

[crystball] 15/1/2010 07:20

Not a good trading update this morning. Tin hats at the ready.

[mercury123] 14/1/2010 12:10

"Quinn aims for revamped QinetiQ. Daily Mail 29 December 2009

New QinetiQ chief Leo Quinn is embarking on a review of senior staff that could ..."

Quinn's the name and Qinetiq's the company.

Must be a significant omen for the New Year.

The price has risen and stayed firm since he took over.

I find something reassuring abut a sell note from IC.

[zeppo] 02/12/2009 14:13

Currently up against a weak market.

Fingers crossed for better things.

....QinetiQ is in a real pickle and the company can't acquire its way out of trouble because of its high indebtedness. The fundamentals need to improve considerably to justify the share's current rating of 14 times forecast earnings. Sell.

Citigroup cuts QQ. to Hold from Buy with target of 170 from 175.

[the other kevin] 25/11/2009 15:22

I think the City has been looking at these figures: Operating profit down 78pc, profit before tax down 104 pc and earnings per share down 98pc.

This doesn't make good reading either:
"Given the risks around closing pending orders in the US, and achieving the
normal pattern of contract wins in UK, the Board considers that it is unlikely
to achieve its previous expectations."

Sounds like a profit warning to me.

[wad collector] 25/11/2009 12:32

Half yr results don't loook that bad to me.Preusmably the market expected more.

Barnesian

You took the word right out of my mouth.

Without some positive announcement it may drift back to where it was a month ago.

Ugh!!!

Interesting MoD contract win announced on 16th, fortuitously coinciding with Quinn's accession.

[gdennett] 18/11/2009 12:34

Just need to get rid of the dead wood at mid management level and they might progress!
