Light at the end of the tunnel for Balfour Beatty

[pogue] 23/8/2013 19:05

Winning contracts is fine but what is the margin on them? I have worked in the contracting industry all my working life, nearly 30 years, and winning the contract is only first base making a profit is the difficult bit. Sometimes, shock horror, companies under bid for a contact just to get it and hope to recoup the cost on extras and changes but if the client has a good project manager you could be in trouble. SO winning a contract is not everything but it's definitely a start.
I hold before anybody asks and long term they are a winner, in my view, short term who knows, may as well bet on a roulette wheel.

* BALFOUR BEATTY : Balfour Beatty has been selected as joint venture partner on £207 million ($324 million) Houston Convention Center Hotel.

To the contrary.

In which case, a takeover is hardly a given.

IMHO Balfour would not be an easy lunch for any company within the sector to swallow. Similarly, and more importantly, it would not offer an easy fit - and therefore a profitable one - for any prospective acquirer as its activities are so diverse, both vertically and geographically.

I do agree, however, that the share price is lagging many others in the sector, so, for the time being, I'll bow to your greater insights into the sector and investment generally.

[anony mous] 22/8/2013 14:42

From somewhere but I cannot pinpoint or provide an accurate location of such company.

[grahamburn] 22/8/2013 14:07

'Cannot be ruled out'? The end of the world through meteor strike cannot be ruled out either. Pretty improbable perhaps, over the next 1 or two months, but still possible, so 'cannot be ruled out'.

[smurfy2001] 19/8/2013 12:49

Back down to 220p?

Balfour Beatty (BBY)What can be seen as far as the daily chart of Balfour Beatty is the way that in the recent past the volatility has certainly stepped up a gear. This is said on the basis of the latest bear trap rebound from below the 50 day moving average at £2.32. The implication is that while is no end of day close back below this feature/the May price channel floor, one can expect a retest of post-April resistance towards £2.60. Indeed, given the latest RSI buy signal off a May support line, a full recovery of post-March losses at £2.90 cannot be ruled out over the next 1 to 2 months.

[hazelton] 18/8/2013 07:18

A bigger picture is that it has been in decline for about 5 years. So lets hope. The volume interest in June recently was high , maybe that is the sign.
