So am I - but try buying any. I couldn't get an online quote for any - even at 2.5p.

[battlebus2] 11/1/2018 10:26

I’m of a similar opinion ALS. Holding seems wise especially given spread etc.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 11/1/2018 09:34

Reasonable results all things considered but another year of losses to look forward to.

I still think this is a great recovery play but I have all the shares I want, they don't look like going bust and a few years ago were making profits of £2m a year.

I'm holding.

Bid up on no trades means something biggish to show later on

[dave4545] 28/11/2017 10:12

2.4-2.8p online

Will we get another trade before xmas ?

[battlebus2] 25/11/2017 11:53

8p they can have shares 😉

[arthur_lame_stocks] 24/11/2017 22:50

I think it's just another scammer at work.

[tonco2] 24/11/2017 15:34

Has anybody else received a "hostile bid" offer for their AUK shares or is it just another scammer at work?

150k dumped at 2.5p, checked late on it was 2.85p offer. Will hold back incase there is more silly or desperate or stale selling whichever way you see it and see if I can get some at 2.75p offer or better stil 2.5p offer

[dave4545] 20/11/2017 15:45

Thanks Arthur

90,000 donated to the mm's today at 2.6p I'd love to buy at that price.

Also some useful snippets from respected Consultant Turner & Townsend on UAE market:"Within this context, it is hardly surprising that Talabani is optimistic about construction appetite in the UAE: "[The market] has surprised me with how resilient it's been and how it's been able to keep growing"".http://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-45833-face-to-face-alan-talabani-turner-townsend/

I will do Dave, I expect a few more sells over the days and weeks.

[dave4545] 16/11/2017 17:58

Arthur

Can we have the standard charts and news back in header please.

[dave4545] 16/11/2017 17:57

Try online again in the morning I think it closed 2.98p offer because of the 61500
sale at 2.55p.

[battlebus2] 16/11/2017 17:52

I also bought a few today and had left an order for more but you ruined it Dave lol

[norbert colon] 16/11/2017 17:37

Yep awfully illiquid and unlikely to change unless one of the major holders decides to reduce their holdings although history would indicate this is unlikely.Next results in January which should provide some clarity as to future prospects. I would encourage investors now to think about attending the AGM next year to demonstrate to the Board that they should engage with retail investors. It's a two way street.

[dave4545] 16/11/2017 16:26

I bought the 37500 and 25000 max online at the time. Surprised at the selling but maybe quick buck merchants on day of contract wanting to move their money to something more exciting.

Should recover to 5-7p in time.

[batham1] 16/11/2017 16:21

Nice to see another jump north today. Still looks cheap on the 3 year chart. Hopefully there is more to come.

[norbert colon] 14/11/2017 20:46

Been running some numbers re: the retail mall design contract. 1.2m sq/ft say AED650m build cost & 4.5% arch fee = £6m. Current mcap £3.5m.....Lots of variables in here but as stated in RNS this is a significant contract for Aukett. I hold.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 14/11/2017 19:29

I also think these are undervalued as a decent contrarian recovery play. I bought a few at 6p which i'm sitting on a substantial loss on and then more at 3p and a lot more at under 2.5p so today's new is welcome. These have to be cheap accross a full cycle surely?

They don't look like going bust with net cash in the bank either.

Dubai project win for Chinese client with revenues for three years that "provides valuable underpinning to the Board's view of next year's performance".

Good news from a company that seems to be priced as if it's all over; just over two times operating profit from a couple of years ago and a ptbv of about 1.
