Agreed. Nothing more worrying than a share getting multiple posts on this site, especially if a small cap. And BB seem to be delivering on their promise to sharpen up, grab more profitable business in infrastructure (see today's news) and get those margins up a bit. With revenues of more than £9bn a small tweak in margins has a disproportionate impact on reported profits and there should be little of the dilution we see in US techs with their massive stock giveaways .
There is a place for rather boring, low risk (usually!) stocks in my portfolio - I halved my quite big (relative) stake in Serco to take a position here. As noted above the stock is begining to nudge towrds it all-time highs.
Low energy (power cables, see the news today), transport and defence are BBY's hunting ground. Huge projects in Scotland and East Anglia, roads and rail, defence and increasingly construction in the USA. There are risks, of course. The Gammon j-v (with Jardine Matheson)is all HK, largely construction, infra and airports. The Lower Thames Crossing decision is expected in early October and we all know the government is under financial pressure. But as the company stated in the interim report
'the Board continues to expect growth in underlying Group earnings in 2024, with growth accelerating in 2025.'

Dekle - were you able to locate the BBY article 10 days ago, and was it favourable?

Balfour Beatty plc issued an AGM trading update this morning. Overall trading has been in line with expectations and the Board continues to expect the Group's 2023 profit from operations from its earnings-based businesses to be broadly in line with 2022. The Group's order book remains healthy and was £17.0 billion at end March 2023. Average net cash was £740 million during Q1 2023 compared to a FY 2022 average of £804 million driven by an expected working capital outflow of around £100 million and share buybacks. The SBB program still has another £75m to complete by end 2023. Valuation is reasonable with forward PE ratio at 11.7x mid range for the Construction & Engineering sector, PS ratio at 0.29x is top third. The Group's balance sheet is strong with negtive net debt, the share price also has strong momentum. BUY...

Share count reduction continues to be the focus for capital allocation and long may that last.
I've sold a portion as conditions seem perfect for BBY atm, sentiment is very strong and that may not last.

They could. BBY has over £800m in cash, and with a Costain market cap of just over £100m (before any bid premium) it would barely dent it - and they would be getting £100m cash in return, the net cash on the Costain balance sheet.

But I'd rather they took over Costain in around 6-8 months, after Costain shares have risen through their own efforts to around 80p. Then 120-140 for the bid, and I'll accept...

Say £300m to BBY 6 months from now, net £180m (after they take control of the Costain cash, which is increasing by around £40m a year as the cash is generated so Costain's £100m will be £120m or so at that point). For a business generating earnings of around £40m cash a year - before the duplicate cost stripping (and there is a lot of that) they would undertake.

Stupid cheap - my fee for proposing the transaction would just be a couple of million...

Balfour Beatty posted Interims for the 6 months ended July 1st 2022 this morning. The Group delivered more strong financial performance and also upgraded expectations for FY22. Revenues were roughly flat at £4,147m but elsewhere BBY reported a 42% increase in underlying profit from operations (PFO) at £85 million, a 68% increase in underlying basic EPS at 12.9 pence per share and a 10% increase in the order book at £17.7 billion. The balance sheet is also strengthening with half year average net cash up to £811 million. Share price liked the release, +9% so far today. Valuation isn’t particularly helpful although messages are a little mixed. But solid profit growth and decent quality are big pluses. Certainly worth monitoring, share price looks set to test decade-long highs in the next few sessions. The bumper order book augurs well for performance in the next few years...

Yes !, I listened to the entire conference call and hold BBY.

I've made a buy case here several times so won't repeat it again,
the results say it all.

Nobody interested?

Not too many businesses posting year on year results improvements like that.

Although an interesting working capital move the wrong way, some £180m movement against last year, buried deep in the cashflow section of the announcement - presumably timing, given profitability and operating cash generation.

Notwithstanding that, £800m net average non-recourse cash, 68% EPS increase, dividend increase, etc etc. Years of future income on the order book, government everywhere committed to infrastructure spend. Share buybacks galore.

Underlying earnings for the full year - wot, 26-30p? So valued around 10-12 times earnings. Maybe finally some value being recognised with today's price increases.

If only there was some other business in the sector valued at a lower earnings multiple, maybe at its net cash value and no more, but with a similar financial profile...😜

BBY looks in better shape than for many years, as their asset book is worth comfortably over £1 bn
with the support services business on top of that, their construction operation is valued at a very modest
amount given the current market cap. BBY may be worth watching.
