Bae Systems Share Discussion Threads

Finding this one hard to call. It is trending down short term but has bounced off 433-435 several times now. So clearly a wedge forming. Question is, if so, which way will it break. Down means I would probably get the 430 I pencilled in. However, longer term trend up suggests breakup and if so, will we have another backtest? Any ideas anyone?!

Do I sense the beginnings of another leg up?

If the West decides to strike against some part of Syria , the US is going to be looking again at its defence budget cuts perhaps.
Not much sign of an effect on BAE share price so far. Perhaps because it is perceived as a small venture. Let us hope it stays that way.

A few personnel changes at Bae Systems it seems...

Linda P. Hudson has decided to retire as President and CEO of BAE Systems, Inc.

[wad collector] 14/8/2013 13:50

zzzzz..remember why I filtered you now. For repetition , like your RNWH postings. Goodbye.

[hvs] 14/8/2013 13:32

Is it not corrupt to THE CORE ?

The EPS target divided by the current EPS multiplied by the current share price

[squidsgone] 13/8/2013 22:40

527 will do me, although how do you come to that Wad?

[wad collector] 13/8/2013 22:02

Ooh so cynical....

but that's about 527p ! I will keep holding...

When the EPS targets for directors bonuses are met (giving them 'Annual incentive', 'PerformanceSharePlan', RestrictedSharePlan and 'ShareMatchingPlan' payments). The baseline EPS is 38.8p.

Will be interesting to see the point at which the buy backs are scaled back ... ie. at what price the co sees more value in investing internally/externally

[wad collector] 13/8/2013 11:38

Well , I was right about the cricket anyway.
These do seem to be picking up again , perhaps after some profit taking. Still hopeful of a fiver in the not too distant future. The buy-backs are getting more expensive anyway!

MS raises target price from 350 to 430 - bit late.

I think that is an impressive loss. I feel quite proud of myself when I manage to hide one document from the wife. But 32,000?
It is probably OK though ; they probably left them in a BAE office.

I didn't place any stop losses ; I still think these have further to go in the short term. Like the English cricket team.

The SFO said Thursday that it had lost 32,000 documents relating to its case against BAe Systems.

BAE Systems said the Gulf state of Bahrain was in talks about the possibility of buying an unspecified number of Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets.

"Bahrain has expressed an interest in Typhoon and the British government are leading very early discussions; BAE Systems is supporting the government in these discussions," a BAE Systems spokeswoman said.

The Eurofighter consortium is also vying for orders in South Korea, Kuwait, Qatar, Bulgaria and Denmark.

Earlier on Wednesday Bahrain's national news agency reported that Bahrain's King Hamad al-Khalifa, who is currently in the UK, had told British Prime Minister David Cameron that the Gulf state was interested in buying Eurofighter jets to "create a cohesive defence system between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)" nations. The GCC is made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

MIATA

TA too compelling and out at 450.7, too early it seems and missed the 457 test. So, we have support tests of 440 at the 20EMA then 420 at the 50EMA and then 400ish at the trend support. Watch and wait.

Investigation into KPMG audits of BAe terminated.

[wad collector] 01/8/2013 09:45

MIATA , doesn't look like you will need your stops today. I am grimly holding for a fiver for my trading stock.

[squidsgone] 01/8/2013 08:59

£1.8bn Saudi order for future support ... significant not just for its value.

[fangorn2] 01/8/2013 08:09

Interims out....



Outlook
Group
In aggregate, including both the benefit from the share repurchase programme and downside arising from reductions to US defence budgets, double-digit growth in underlying earnings4 per share is anticipated for 2013. This outlook assumes the satisfactory conclusion to Salam pricing negotiations this year.

Notwithstanding cash inflows from an anticipated Salam price escalation settlement, significant cash utilisation is expected in 2013. This includes an expected high level of utilisation against the advances, received in 2012, on the Saudi trainer aircraft and Omani Typhoon and Hawk contracts and advances consumed on the European Typhoon production contracts.
