Kier Share Discussion Threads

Looks like Leigh Thomas, MD for Kier Property, bought almost £70,000 worth of Kier shares for his family yesterday in a private transaction; see today's RNS at midday. (Spreading the investment among family is usually a tax planning move to reduce/eliminate capital gains tax on any eventual profits.)

A fairly big statement on his view of where the share price is going (i.e. upwards in a big way).

stutes, you have been diligently doom-mongering here, telling us that the end is nigh for Kier every week and sometimes daily for a couple of years. Your posts today are no different to what you were saying in January 2023 when the shares were under 60p. In that time Kier's shareprice has more than doubled.

You also showed last year that you were unable to read and understand the annual report.

your posting here seems to be nothing more than attention seeking. you are consistently wrong and completely unbalanced in your posts. you have NO CREDIBILITY. you cannot admit when you're wrong. you don't understand Kier as a business and you are clearly not invested here long or even short.

You refuse to answer this basic question - why are you posting here?

you are basically dishonest about your motives.

advfn is a forum for private INVESTORS, not attention-seeking schoolchildren. get a proper hobby or a girlfriend/boyfriend.

Meanwhile, just 13% had any faith that the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline recently published by the Treasury and Infrastructure and Projects Authority will be delivered. Respondent said inflation and rising costs would put the brakes on the programme while schemes, they added, would get bogged down by planning delays and legal challenges.

The above extract is from Building Magazine- Government work is a political tap and with BoE losing £85bn on QE just wait and see the sectors that help fund the mess.

Stutes - You're coming across as a little desperate.

The economic headwinds apply to all firms - Construction News reports some analysts reckon Construction industry is set for a tough year. We shall see how things pan out and if secure work creates problems.

Great find.

Another major contract win (£118m project) for our favourite construction firm:

Kier to design new Government Hub in Darlington


The Government Property Agency (GPA) has appointed Kier as its initial delivery partner to create a new state-of-the-art hub at the Darlington Economic Campus (DEC).

The organisations have just agreed a pre-construction services agreement (PCSA) in readiness to deliver the project, earmarked for Brunswick St, after the planning application was lodged with Darlington Borough Council last month.



Here's the reporting on the initial planning discussion before the contract winner was announced:

Darlington Economic Campus to expand with £118m government hub investment

Ditto - buy the dips on the RSI

[m5] 27/4/2024 12:53

Totally agree. I have been adding around this level. Chart looks good, expecially Fridays close which took us avove the 50 dma. First stop I see as £1.47 recent highs.

Good to see this moving off the lower trendline for the shareprice. 150p is now on the cards within the next three months imo and a possible £2 around the end of this year. Construction coming back into focus. Smaller peer Costain has been tipped a few times recently. Kier's ftse250 position and sector lead make it an obvious buy. Final divi announcement and consolidation of a strong cash position post-year end in June will make the shares attractive for a £2 target. Very happy with progress so far.

Seems like the shareprice is taking off again. A run up to the end of yr trading update in July perhaps.

Another big framework for Kier to win work from.

Big hitters scoop spots on £1.6bn decarb framework


Tier one contractors Kier, Morgan Sindall and Tilbury Douglas have gained places on a major decarbonisation framework. The four-year agreement from Pagabo will cover decarbonisation works across all sectors in the UK except the healthcare sector, which was covered in a separate Pagabo framework

When I were but a lad, I used to sell my bantams in Bromsgrove Market. Happy days.

Kier wins Worcestershire town centre renewal

Kier has clinched the job to renew Bromsgrove town centre in Worcestershire with a new 50,000 sq ft commercial and cultural hub on the site of the former market hall.

Why not wait and see if £15bn to £18bn hit on the bondholders doesn't affect the macro economy? Some banks are reported trading in other utilities bonds as well, possibly compounding the Thames Water problem.

Look at todays news gor more proof of tough trading:

[itisonlymoney] 18/4/2024 16:45

kier shares went ex-div today and still rose 1.6% so I'm seeing that as a 3% rise. 6 weeks to end of yr. trading update in the weeks after.

[klotzak] 15/4/2024 12:34

Hope this rise is now sustainable.

[bathboy2] 11/4/2024 08:30

Anyone have an idea of Kier's current headcount , and any uplift in salary the current wages review

[gerhart] 09/4/2024 14:53

After waiting years for a return to Divi, I think we have already gone Ex-d before we even get a qualifying date to be on the Reg for it! Lol

[xamf] 09/4/2024 13:30

Just topped up yesterday and again today. Fundamentals aside, I'm banking on good support at this level.

[itisonlymoney] 09/4/2024 11:03

most of kier's contracts come from the framework contracts that it's on. about £10bn worth of projects currently. an absolutely massive pipeline of work.

[bathboy2] 09/4/2024 08:53

Frameworks don't always relate to real work won , and it is now being split by smaller , more specialist firms

[itisonlymoney] 08/4/2024 15:55

good to see a load of new framework wins for kier. very positive.
