Obviously I am stating the bloody obvious

[hamhamham1] 24/8/2021 15:31

Open up or down 5% area tomorrow, or within mins anyway IMO.
My lean is towards up but that's me talking my portfolio.
Fingers crossed.

Just bought in here yesterday as an opportunist purchase before the results. I am hoping that we will hear a little bit better than boring tomorrow, although I see that boring seems to be the target for some.Good luck to all holders.

Costain needs to deliver!! They can't have more excuses imo

In a way I hope it is boring with no surprise exceptional costs. Need a few halfs of boring old hitting the targets and showing profit growth. Hopefully presented in an upbeat manner. We will see.

[ammu12] 23/8/2021 16:01

Does anyone else thinks it's gonna be another boring update ?

With Costain H1 results this week on Wed 25th August. PE ratio of 6.7 is lowest of all 17 companies in the construction and engineering market.SP wise from a charting (technical analyst) perspective we need to start to move into 60s and then 70s, and finally break 80p resistance.Analysts have 20.1m GBP average for 21 and 24.2m for 22. Five brokers covering - four strong buy and one hold.Looking forward to H1 results this Wed which hoping will lead to a re-rating.

Costain supports UK’s FlyZero exploration into operation of hydrogen-fuelled aircraft.

[ttny2004] 18/8/2021 15:36

Absolutely. I know that. They are currently in what is known as a closed period. But on day of results onwards can purchase shares and thus is what I would like to see to show further confidence

[imastu pidgitaswell] 18/8/2021 10:02

I agree - but you would have to wait until after the results are published - it's illegal before then...

[ttny2004] 18/8/2021 10:00

I would like to see a clear signal by directors by buying shares with their own money. As the new incoming CFO did at Capita nearly 100k worth.

[ttny2004] 18/8/2021 08:17

Added more as great buying opportunity under 60p.H1 Results a week today. Being it on.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 16/8/2021 14:22

They seem to be coming thick and fast at the moment?

[ttny2004] 13/8/2021 12:06

Was just thinking same myself. Been buying some a couple of times to add to my holding in the last week.Expect like a phoniex this will raise from the ashes soon. Good luck all. Not long to Wed 25th Aug for H1 results.

[davwal] 13/8/2021 10:47

It’s coming…

[farrugia] 13/8/2021 10:20

if this poor sod reaches 70p before the trading update on Aug 25th that would be wonderful.

[wiganer] 12/8/2021 17:21

Decent end of day finish.

[farrugia] 12/8/2021 13:46

this has done poorly compared to Galliford and it should be a business with better margins.

[ch1ck] 12/8/2021 10:11

TTNI agree this look like it's well placed to ride the up tick in this sector.The stimulus in this sector will drive profits. I think the strategy change is starting to be appreciated by investorsExpecting a strong move up

[ttny2004] 11/8/2021 12:35

Good to see the rise this morning which I believe is only the start.The trading update was too general and contained no details. H1 results wed 25 Aug will do I believe together with detailed presentation and investors analyst call.Assuming no surprises and deliver what was promised think we will get some analyst upgrades as a result at this point which will start the share price recovery.

[davwal] 11/8/2021 09:59

70 will be even nicer.

[wiganer] 11/8/2021 09:12

60p, which is nice.
