In the interests of integrity, I hope ptonks continues to post whatever happens to BAB and the share price.

Shambo - the chart. 364 was the share price peak last Decemeber. In charting terms, there is nothng now stopping it retesting this level unless we break below 310 (which is now acting as support). ;-)

[shambo2904] 17/8/2021 13:49

Very specific price? What's that based on?

[drk1] 17/8/2021 12:39

Virtually nothing now in the way in terms of share price resistance up to 364p - looking good. ;-)

JPM raises share price target to 440p from 400p - overweight.

Thanks Drk1 much appreciated

why would certain posts thereby expect the share price to fall substantially

one of the problems with a lotta shares to follow i gotta mixed muddled up during this season of divi goodwill

[drk1] 13/8/2021 19:18

Ariane - It helps when you know even just a little about the company you are posting about (dividend has been suspended). ;-)

[ptonks] 13/8/2021 18:02

Drk1 watch it drop like a stone next week!!!

[drk1] 13/8/2021 17:20

Well, if you told me day of the results that we'd be up more than 20% 10 days later, I'd have bitten your hand off! Good weekend all, the lack of posts here is an indication of just how few now follow BAB but I'd expect that to change quite notably in the next couple of months. ;-)

Lockwood isn't hanging about. Shame he didn't come earlier

Angeswar if they don't generate revenue they are not worth anything they have to sell some silver

[angeswar] 13/8/2021 09:13

Agree, its not part of the core business & I am no expert
but why would you sell a business that has been generating £100.5 million?

Surely there must be other parts of the business that is not genrating any revenue that they must dispose off?

[dope007] 13/8/2021 08:45

Good price for a consultancy that

[drk1] 13/8/2021 08:18

Agree, and from a technical viewpoint, that's resistance @ 310 smashed in a second, meaning last Novemeber's high of 360 is the next target. Also explains the rather unexpected and rapid recovery from results day - a few knew this was coming. ;-)

[suetballs] 13/8/2021 08:17

After years of misery do we finally have a company that can make sustained progress?
Suet

[suetballs] 13/8/2021 08:07

Yes "only" targetting £400m of disposals so 75% there in one transaction.
Well done.
Suet

[drk1] 13/8/2021 08:02

£300m - that will do very nicely indeed! ;-)

Key Points

Overnight, MSCI’s aggregate gauge of global stock markets hit a new record high.

“Arguably, markets are now more focused on the state of play regarding Covid, and in particular, the spread of the Delta variant,” Xian Chan, chief investment officer for wealth management at HSBC, said in a note.

LONDON — European markets are heading for a cautious open Friday, as investors assessed global economic indicators and rising Covid-19 cases in the search for direction.

Britain’s FTSE 100 is seen around 7 points higher at 7,200, Germany’s DAX is set to add around 7 points to 15,945 and France’s CAC 40 is set to nudge around 2 points higher to 6,884, according to IG data.

If you look at the alterations in reporting, although welcome of course, seem to be a deliberate attempt to attract bidders IMO. I wonder if Serco is renewing interest.
