Erm, 1.4bil market cap.

[dealy] 19/5/2018 15:17

2.3 billion pound market cap now with net debt of about 500m. EV/Ebitda multiple of 7. Guess that's high enough until we see business improve

And you seem to think the ~16% increase on no news post the rights issue wont be hammered into by bears at the first whiff of less than perfect news flow. Note: the same increase prior to RI would have had this sitting on 232p. Worth that when it was struggling to break 200p? I know I'm a bit thick and all but care to explain where the UTs at 4.35pm are red and for other companies they are blue?

ragingb: well done for catching the recent slight bounce. No doubt money has been made this week, on paper, but that doesn't mean Capita has been fixed and its share price will recover majestically to five quid, or whatever. It's still in intensive care and could easily end up on the Do Not Resuscitate list

You thought that the closing auction uncrossing trade was someone dumping stock...

It just goes to show that what we think isn't always correct...

I don't think those that have bought today at 140 realise the full implications of the RI. The full weight of which has yet to land.

[ragingbear] 18/5/2018 19:13

Negative = realistic ... Ummm no not really, seeing as we closed just under 140

Seems pretty positive to me, and the 12k I made since buying in a week ago.

When everyone thinks its a buy can mean .. its a buy... crowd theory and all that

But I am a weary trader and I know anything can happen at anytime...

Just like GLEN did today with an 8% drop after a surprise bit of negative news.

See what next week brings, but this week Capita sentiment was definitely bullish...

"That new contract is a renewal....."



No its not Paddy fool.. It is a consolidation to a single partner (being Capita)...









And from FSCS website:

FSCS awards strategic sole partner contract to Capita
15th May 2018

Following a competitive procurement process, FSCS can confirm that it has awarded its strategic sole partner contract to Capita for the provision of a claims handling service. This contract, which will begin in July 2018, will consolidate all of FSCS’s claims handling and customer services for the next four and three-quarter years, with an option to extend for up to an additional two years.

FSCS has moved to a sole partner to consolidate its claims handing processes to provide a more joined up experience for its customers. This also creates opportunities for the Scheme to improve the customer experience through digital development which will in turn increase value for money for its stakeholders.

Jimmy Barber, FSCS’s Chief Operating Officer said: “Our decision to consolidate our claims handling services in the new partnership will help ensure that customers are provided with an outstanding experience when making a claim. It underpins our work to transform the customer experience, through investment in technology and digital development, and adds improved resilience through scale.”

It's unlikely that it will turn the corner into a brick wall and a trap door!

[ragingbear] 17/5/2018 16:24

Trading sentiment 94% buy is a bit worrying. ?

No dividend here and awaiting asset sales ?

Turning the corner into a brick wall or a trap door?




Capita was over £12 in 2015 , £6 in 2016 and over £4 five months ago at the beginning of 2018..

Today it is £1.32...

It is hopefully a turnaround stock... Lets see if Jonathan Lewis can do his job well and show us all a profit.

Looking good so far since the RI...Be good to see 130's holding short term...

[gregpeck7] 17/5/2018 12:13

Capita and Interserve both turning the corner now.

Capita started to climb from oversold

buy while you can I see another up day on the cards

"There we go, just the 3.6m dumped after hours."


That 3.6m is the end of day closing auction uncrossing price, not someone dumping their stock... (UT)...


Relax, there's no conspiracy. Read the PDF in the last link I posted on the LSE trading system....


Capita Looking nice and bullish at the moment...


Deutsche Bank Holdings increase announced today and Capita got a £37m contract with FSC... Also announced today.

[1retirement] 15/5/2018 16:38

There we go, just the 3.6m dumped after hours.

[1retirement] 15/5/2018 15:43

Wonder how big the after close sell will be today?

[diku] 14/5/2018 22:28

Are they raising money at 70p?...

[1retirement] 14/5/2018 18:02

Looks to me like its being kept artificially at this price to let some big swingers out, just an opinion mind, but thats three days in a row where 3-5m each day have appeared as sales after close.

[1retirement] 14/5/2018 16:53

Told ya, 2.5m sale showing up after hours. Someone is dumping shares in the millions!
