Barclays raises tp to £3.47 - overweight. Hence today's rise?
£3.47 is pathetic but a start I suppose!

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I wouldn't mind a quid for every time I've seen big directors buys not indicating good times ahead.

[fitton] 16/7/2020 09:42

I'm sure Lockwood has plenty of money but £325k is a very good confident director buy.

Director buying - Lockwood 110000 shares.

Was the intra day low at £2.70 be the bottom of the cycle, only time will tell but good bounce from that level.

[fitton] 14/7/2020 14:59

The scope altered and the Tory government - who supposedly are against things like nationalisation, big state and government interference - decided to take it under their wing.

Biggest bunch of liars going but the dunderheads buy it. ;)

They didn’t “lose” the contract.

I note Bab have the Dounreay management contract terminated as of March 2021. Surprised no RNS as it is similar to the Magnox contract they lost in Sept 2019.

I hope they don't find the need for a rights issue. Many companies have already done that and I am suspicious of the need for them to do so. There would be some obvious ones perhaps like Rolls-Royce but some I really do feel are taking an easy route and are giving themselves opportunity to get in on the cheap with little regard to current shareholder dilution. Taylor Wimpey, National Express and Forterra are examples where I feel exploitation has happened.

No pressure on David Lockwood.Since the announcement of his appointment the shares have fallen 15%.Down from the year high of 659p.Im still accumilating.Averaging down, can't see it going much lower, although I said the same at 290p
