Any work in conjunction with IRV may be worth looking at?, If possible.

Welcome folks.


Kier pay their final dividend next week at a cost of over 40 million.
Shareholders are effectively funding the payout partly through a deeply discounted RI. It's an utter farce, and that's being polite.

Thnx EI - looks totally company specific...

On a day when IC recommended BBY as a buy the share price fell. Bizarre! Seems to be unloved by PI's since, apart from my comment, no posts here since February. Carillion has helped them achieve better prices for new work and although sales down profits were up. Soon the expensive money will be out, the legacy contracts out and a much better looking BS.

A consortium including FTSE 250 construction firm Balfour Beatty has been awarded a $1.95bn (£1.4bn) contract to build a train network at Los Angeles International Airport.

Market weak & BBY falling amidst all the outsourcing scares. Now back to 272p and could quite possibly make it all the way back to the frequent support level @ 260p. I will certainly be tempted should they do so!

One of the Sunday Times picks for 2018.

Great news

A short but sweet full-year update from Balfour Beatty (BALF) has reinforced Numis' view that the infrastructure group offers strong recovery potential.While the update declared the group was trading in line with expectations, analyst Howard Seymour took heart from the positive tone.'Body language about confidence to attain industry standard margins and further increase balance sheet strength are both important – and further illustrates why share price weakness on the back of Carillion's woes is illogical,' he said.'We retain the view that Balfour has the strongest recovery potential in the sector couples with balance sheet strength, which makes it a key pick on a recovery basis in the construction sector in the coming year.'Seymour rates the shares a 'buy' on a 350p target price.

Balfour Beatty issues reassuring trading update. "The group continues to win new business... at rates which reflect the bidding discipline and risk management introduced under Build to Last."

It's the 12/12 results

Fake news everywhere.

Results 1/12

Whilst this is a short target for hedge funds (see Mail on Sunday dated 22 Oct 2017) this is one for the brave.

[dekle] 23/10/2017 08:25

According to the Mail-on-Sunday hedge funds are shorting BBY to the tune of £90m? Any views?
