lol Ariane: how about deliberately taken down in the mornings to shake out any weak holders. Then picking up shares during the day. Would be a good shares acquisition strategy.

Personally liking the look and feel here

Summary

In view of fundamental criteria, the company is among low performers as far as mid or long-term investment strategy is concerned.

Strengths

The current area is a good opportunity for investors interested in buying the stock in a mid or long-term perspective.

Indeed, the share is moving closer to its lower bound at GBp 87.78 GBp in weekly data.

The close medium term support offers good timing for purchasing the stock.

The company is one of the most undervalued, with an "enterprise value to sales" ratio at 0.3 for the 2019 fiscal year.

With a P/E ratio at 11.55 for the current year and 9.24 for next year, earnings multiples are highly attractive compared with competitors.

This company will be of major interest to investors in search of a high dividend stock.


Weaknesses

According to Standard & Poor's' forecast, revenue growth prospects are expected to be very low for the next fiscal years.

Low profitability weakens the company.

Prospects from analysts covering the stock are not consistent. Such dispersed sales estimates confirm the poor visibility into the group's activity.

The group usually releases earnings worse than estimated.

For the past seven days, analysts have been lowering their EPS expectations for the company.

For the last twelve months, the analysts covering the company have given a bearish overview of EPS estimates, resulting in frequent downward revisions.

For the last 12 months, analysts have been regularly downgrading their EPS expectations. Analysts predict worse results for the company against their predictions a year ago.

Most analysts agree on a negative opinion with regard to the stock. Indeed, the average consensus issues recommendations to underperform or sell.

Below the resistance at 118.56 GBp, the stock shows a negative configuration when looking looking at the weekly chart.

cna, seem to follow a pattern over the last week or so. Down in the morning, recover slowly over the day.

Lets see if that remains the same today. USA buying perhaps?

COULD IT BE HANGOVERS IN THE MORNING

AND JUBILATION AFTER LUNCH TIME DRINKS

OR JUST THAT MARKETS JUST WAKE UP DURING THE AFTERNOONS

The BG annual service contract is one very big Conn...any part of the boiler that comes into contact with water is not covered...unless you have a 'BG only' power flush! most aren't aware of this 'little known fact' until they come to claim.

Good to buy add on mini dips, it’s what I am doing, looking for a turnaround in Q4 onwards.

[ny boy] 16/7/2019 09:40

Blue Waters Hotel, one of my old fav from early 90’s

[nortic 007] 15/7/2019 22:46

DikuGood morning...CNA struggling to stay above 88p...Sorry it's only 17:44 in Antigua so I'm not burning the midnight oil..... thanks for the heads up Diku !!!.)

[portside1] 15/7/2019 22:11

Diku , they are just being hopeful ,if conn fails then he must be gone and claw back all is bonuses on lies and false accounting a fraudulent act

[diku] 15/7/2019 21:55

Your last 3 posts very little substance...

[nortic 007] 15/7/2019 19:01

I think he (Conn) has finally realised what needs to be done. Just hope it's not to late!!!

[nortic 007] 15/7/2019 18:42

I'm afraid Conn's lack of leadership and making tough decisions has cost us dear but this is his chance to put things right or it'll be his last as CEO !!!

[nortic 007] 15/7/2019 18:32

I hope so NY Boy....... crossing fingers and toes !!!

[ny boy] 15/7/2019 18:27

Let’s see what comes up at 30 July market update...

There are a couple of silver linings. Higher oil and gas prices are boosting returns from the remaining upstream assets, while the huge cost cutting program is progressing nicely. As a result, debt reduction is on track.

[gaffer73] 15/7/2019 18:25

It would be sensible to half the divi imo but full year guidance remains so they may not.

[ny boy] 15/7/2019 18:12

I am quite happy to add at 87p, been there a few times, not sure if low is in but attracted to 1. 13.66% yield 2. 71% drop in the share price over the last 5 years, reasons to be cheerful, will be happy, even if they slash the divi by 50%!

[supermarky] 15/7/2019 17:33

Yes imo it is too early to call a bottom. Interesting to watch. I am scared to think positively on this one

[exlogiclad] 15/7/2019 16:43

Bought again this morning. Brexit sorted the right way and this is a bid target.

[nortic 007] 15/7/2019 16:36

It's only taken 4 years !!! :)

[knowing] 15/7/2019 16:18

Looks like the bottom is in

[wallywoo] 15/7/2019 14:50

Would have to break upwards from 90p super to be confirmed as a double bottom (with good volume). Though IMO this is looking a lot more like a trend reversal than it has for a long time. Here's hoping

[supermarky] 15/7/2019 14:47

Little double bottom or is this wishful thinking?

[supermarky] 15/7/2019 14:46

Could this be a W forming?

[discodave4] 15/7/2019 11:48

SSE report Thursday, should be interesting.
