The pre-consolidation market price of 15 pence and how it translates to the hypothetical post-consolidation price. This will further clarify the starting point and the magnitude of the price increase needed to break even.

Feature Investor A (20p Purchase) Investor B (40p Purchase)
Before Consolidation:
Original Share Price 20p (£0.20) 40p (£0.40)
Number of Shares 10,000 10,000
Total Investment Value £2,000 £4,000
Current Market Price (Pre-Consolidation): 15p (£0.15) 15p (£0.15)
After Consolidation:
New Number of Shares 667 10,000 / (15) 667 (10,000 / 15)
Adjusted Purchase Price £3.00 (£0.20 * 15) £6.00 (£0.40 * 15)
Hypothetical Market Price* £2.25 (£0.15 * 15) £2.25 (£0.15 * 15)
Total Investment Value £1500.75 £1500.75
Paper Loss:
Paper Loss (Amount) £499.25 £2,499.25
Paper Loss (%) 24.96% 62.48%
Break-Even Share Price: £3.00 £6.00
Explanation of Changes:

Current Market Price (Pre-Consolidation): Added a row to clearly show the 15p starting point.

Hypothetical Market Price Calculation: Made the calculation of the post-consolidation market price (£2.25) explicit: £0.15 * 15 = £2.25

Key Takeaways Reinforced:

Starting Point: The table now clearly shows that the hypothetical post-consolidation price of £2.25 is derived from the current market price of 15p.

Distance to Break-Even: This visualization makes the "distance" between the hypothetical market price (£2.25) and the break-even prices (£3.00 and £6.00) even more apparent. It highlights how much the share price needs to increase for these investors to recover their initial investments.

Paper loss: The paper loss is based on the current share price. If you bought below 15 pence, the Share Consolidation makes no difference.


The theoretical market cap of the company remains the same throughout the whole event. The only change would be the share count, which would be approximately 113.33 million shares after the share consolidation.

The AGM will probably be in May 2025. Between now and then, I am looking at Contracts on Bidstats and other websites to see the £5 billion pipeline left, which is underpinned by AI (page 16). The actual pipeline was £5,7 billion; around £450 million has been secured so far since the report, with two months having passed. Also, to add, Net Asset sales will be mentioned in the coming months or two.

So far nothing is delivered by AH , all promises and lies, if these numbers have even 50% of possibility of achieving what He says than share price would not be sitting at 13p.

Share price is the only realty check on AH performance

If AH has this good reputation, than why the share price has lost 40% since he joined. if market had believed in his ability to turn around, than at least share price would have stayed at the same level around 22p. So far he has not delivered anything positive since almost one year in job

lamegorse23 ?? the million isn't showing on IG, can't see it on LSE either, if was on advfn could been either way as advfn trade reporting is dogpoo imgho

Cheers and ref JO

The facts are that AH has taken over from a highly incompetent (aka useless) CEO. AH has been at the helm for a mere 12 months. In that time, he has turned the listing Capita ship around. AH has ariticulated a clear strategy, which is full of common sense and includes the complete play-book of steps to turn Capita around into a lean and profitatble business.

I would never have invested in Capita under the previous CEO. However, I am very happy to remain a shareholder with AH and co at the helm. It is impossible for AH is turn the Capita ship around AND make it into a wizz-bang company after a mere 12 months. Impossible! AH has already turned around another LSE company (I mentioned this in one of my previous posts) and after AH completed the turnaround, it was bought out - and provided the shareholders with a very handsome profit. I see the same opportunity with Capita. I have no doubts that there are one or two private investment companies in the US who like outsourcing companies in the services sector - especially those who service the govt (i.e. guaranteed contracts, revenues etc) - who are watching the Capita story unfold over the last few months.

Capita has over £5 billion in the sales pipeline (all AI and technology based) and this is GROWING all the time, at 6-8% profit margin. If Capita wins say £2 billion in new sales, based on the lowest profit margin of 6%, this equates to £120 million in profit on new sales alone. Never mind the £250 million on cost savings. Capita is a growth stock, pure and simple. The share price is circa 14p and it would not surprise me if the share price slowly climbs to circa 30-40p over the next 18-24 months as new sales and cost savings are achieved. Further the parts of Capita (demonstrated by the recent sale of Capita One) are worth far more that the whole of Capita. This is naturally very attractive to private investment companies. If a private investment company suddenly expresses interest in buying Capita , this share price will spike upwards in a massive way. If you are already invested, you win massively.

If all this doesn't excite you as an investor, then I suggest you sell up now and invest in that slow and lumbering elephant of an investment BT. Any impatient investors ought to sell out now. Those investors who have been involved in turn-around companies will know to sit back and wait for - in Capita's case another 12-18 months, at which time the results will be there for all to see.

All too often what the company is doing and what the share price is doing you would think 2 different entities...share price is open for kick around by brokers/algos...

Furthermore this ties up with the steps that the company has shared at the end of last year at Capital Markets event which is to improve shareholder value by:1) being more efficient2) integrating more digital solutions and AI for customers and in the companies own processes, to help improve our margins, improve cash generation and drive group revenue growth.The delivery of these key priorities, particularly positive cash flow generation, after negative cash flow in 2023/24 will be a key factor in improving the share price and rerating of the company. It was recently stated by the company that they expect free cash flow to turn positive and for this to be sustainable towards the end of this year. As this becomes visible expect this will drive a considerable rerating of the share price at these ridiculous levels.

Heatseek77, Look at the share price graph for the last 5 years and tell me what do you see. Than look again at the share price graph for last one year and tell me what do you see.

This company is goin down the drain for the last 10 year, and people like you still hoping to see turn around.

All these CEO's come with lot of false promises and talk, and they start lying that turn around is coming and every quarter they boast we have achieved progress.

But reality is that Capita has become a third class company run by third class management. look at the market valuation of capita today. It use to be British ICON of FTSE100 at one time. But sadly the highly incompetent senior management (past and present)of this company has brought it down to its current state.

@Peter - you make some fair comments but at a 14p share price this must be an absolute bargain based on the £2.4bn turnover and the management team and the sales pipeline and the sum of the parts.

I guess I'd be more worried if we were sat at £1/share but 14p/share just doesn't make sense ...

There is being unloved ... Then there is Capita ... Which is not only unloved but, currently, unwanted (by the city).

I think we will see that change in 2025 and I'd be astounded to see the share price lower than this in a years time (Rodney).

Without ramping - I'd be disappointed if we are double or even triple this by 31/12/25.

Happy New Year!

RE: Short Position across the boardToday 00:12
Shorts are fleas on cardigans. More often than not, shorts are gamblers - pay attention to them at your peril.

The shorts' 'hope' is that when the Capita results are announced, that the revenues are down significantly. Regardless of the results, the shorts will try to drive the share price down from 8am onwards on the day of the results, and keep their fingers (knees, toes and everything else) crossed that loads more Capita shareholders follow their lead and sell. The reason for the shorts 'confidence' in this strategy is simple - Capita shareholders (whether short or long term shareholders) are for the most part best described as 'nervous nellies'. However, this time, the shorts are in fact far more nervous than before. This time, AH and co will show that Capita's profits are stable and improving, margins are stable and improving, and debt is significantly lower i.e. a drop in the bucket. In other words, Capita will be in a far stronger financial position than 12 months previously.

The smart investor knows that if AH and co can turn the Capita shop around so quickly in less than 12 months, what can they do in the next 12 months. The big question is will the rest of Capita's shareholders play 'chicken' and run with the sell off at 8am with the shorts, or hold their nerve and add on an early AM drop to defy the shorts, and drive the share price up to where it belongs i.e. 21-22p range as a minimum.
