Capita performed strongly in first 4 months of year; upbeat on outlook for 2008


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Capita Group Plc., the U.K.'s leading business
process outsourcing company, Tuesday said it performed strongly in the first
four months of the year and believes its prospects for the current year and
thereafter remain strong.
The company said it secured 384 million pounds worth of contracts and
renewals in the year to date and that its bid pipeline at Feb. 29 stood at 2.5
billion pounds.
Capita named Life & Pensions, Local Government and Insurance as its most
active markets and said it remains encouraged by the progress of opportunities
both in and just outside the bid pipeline.

Capita is expected to perform strongly during 2008 despite current economic
conditions as the downturn should result in companies and government
increasingly looking to cut cost and hence to outsource to companies such as
Capita.

The company said it will continue to look for opportunities to return
further value to shareholders through share buybacks and a progressive
dividend policy.

Superb - " our markets remain bouyant " " progressive dividend policy to continue " and on and on ....
"Outlook Revenue growth across the Group is very encouraging, with a particularly strong performance from our Life & Pensions Division. We continue to place the highest priority on operational excellence and accordingly we are accelerating investment in management in this division to ensure we remain superbly positioned for further growth in the future.
We believe our prospects for the current year and thereafter remain strong."

IMS out, everything sounds hunky dory.

AGM next Tuesday. Maybe some contract anounmences ? Can't imagine any negative news coming out with the heavy buybacking going on.

[trt] 02/5/2008 16:52

Brain smiley,

Its possible we will never know for sure - but will get a good idea if we get another announcement saying they repurchased shares today !!

[bigbigdave] 02/5/2008 15:45

Same happened a couple of years ago Brian.
When the buybacks finished the share price started to rise again.

[brain smiley] 02/5/2008 14:50

trt

then it collaspsed !

Do you think CPI'S brokers "hold the price down" to carry out the buyback at a better price ?

[trt] 02/5/2008 08:25

TBF
Re your NRK & BLR ouch ouch unless you were short!

As for CPI (I am not in stock) I am fairly new to charts but for whats its worth: BBands = slight chance of an upswing however Parabolic SAR cancels this thought out and just like trt says above the RSI gives indication that its just general trading and following the market. IMHO

Good Luck & DYOR

[oscar000] 29/4/2008 17:21

About due for a new contract announcement, that will make it jump up

[trt] 29/4/2008 14:38

[trickyboyfish] 29/4/2008 14:17

I hope I am wrong but it looks like we had s 2nd double top bounce and the down trend is reforming.

Chill TBF, patience required. We'll get there soon enough.

[trickyboyfish] 17/4/2008 09:53

This should turn north again at 10.00

[trt] 16/4/2008 21:27

The DOW has surged this evening by over 250 points the FTSE should follow with a very strong rise as well tomorrow ( Thursday ) - should therefore see Capita finishing the day well over £7.00.
