CPI has a good order book but it needs to work hard to keep up with its peers... gla

Looks like someones been buy a lot of Capita Shares

That’s because they are 10% of the company, outdated and outmanoeuvred by competition, buying companies to maintain a semblance of growth and running up enormous debt, steer clear!!

[tonybaloni] 08/8/2018 09:24

Wow,These are just 10% of what they were 3 years ago !!!Must be the bargain of the year. I dipped my toe yesterday so am a bit underwater but looking for a decent bounce short term

[ltcm1] 08/8/2018 09:14

Why???

On the chart it looks like it could go way lower if it takes out the existing lows.

[tim 3] 08/8/2018 08:31

Just taken out May lows, surely some sort of bounce due?

BT =230P+

Eisler - 07 Jun 2018 - 19:56:36 - 29268 of 30646 BT - Where next ? - BT.A
Don't think we will see 140 - but anywhere between 170 - 180 is a real possibility. Another 10-15% off current price seems a reasonable bet.

£1 or £1.10 then people may jump on here,

[eisler] 07/8/2018 13:30

At 150ish, I said this could go sub-100. This was trashed as nonsense. Not looking so implausible now...

There is a large civil engineering works involving replacement of a bridge (which is used by the overground metro) the works were originally to be completed by Feb 18 - this was extended to June 18 and now all it states is 2019 !

The works are in Newcastle

If this is typical or not of delays in projected completion of works - I do not know - however there must be penalty/ financial clauses embedded in the contract.

[dealy] 07/8/2018 11:31

should bounce from here

[bookbroker] 07/8/2018 11:17

Falls below lows suggest further down to come, this is such as hotchspot of different entities it is confusing to say the least, and they will struggle to determine where exactly the future lies. Amazons entry into global procurement and managing systems for companies spell ill for this one, bloated and outdated is what it is!

Woodford's record in the past 3 years has been abysmal.
If the stories of his dealings at Stobart are near the truth he needs to re-examine his position.

[tim 3] 07/8/2018 08:49

Relentless selling with new lows almost daily ,now approaching the post rights lows.

Bet Woodfords happy!

[dylanl2] 06/8/2018 11:56

Lots of 'older' staff too, good proportion waiting for redundancy or more likely a pay off, possibly less motivated as a result... May be contributing to woes but more anecdotal than factual...

[ltcm1] 06/8/2018 11:38

They have about 70,000 employees and the labour market is tightening. If they have to start giving 4% pay rises then it's going to hurt the bottom line here.

[vulcan2] 06/8/2018 10:39

Good progress on executing the new strategy.
Balance sheet strengthened: completed £701m rights issue and £416m expected proceeds from disposals.
Debt reduced by 50% to 729.5m (2018) compared to 1595.5m (2017)
Half year order intake £921m and order book £7.7bn at 30 June 2018.

And the share price is down.
should it not be going up ?
