19:54		bogdan branislov: The more I look at Costain, the more I am becoming convinced that it is the cheapest stock on the UK exchanges. PE ratio under 8. Cash adjust and it is 6.5, by the end of 2020, the cash adjusted PE is likely to be nearer 6. The cash pile is 20% of the market cap by the way, and that is after the sector generally has had a tough time over recent years, although there is no evidence of that at all in Costain's balance sheet, none whatsoever. Growth in balance sheet equity - the real measure of growth in shareholder value - has been building steady for a decade, and that is after paying generous dividends, and is still expected to grow this year even though earnings will be about a third down on last year. Balance sheet equity for Costain is about 5 times higher than it was in 2010. The share price is actually slightly lower now than it was in 2010, if you allow for the small amount of share issuing over this period, the share price is effectively unchanged despite the considerable build up in value within the balance sheet since 2010. And then there is market cap, a mere 1.5 times TBV, bear in mind that Costain is not a land holding house builder or a real estate investment trust. This is a high quality company selling for a giveaway price. Bogdan

10:44		jonwig: The pension scheme deficit looks quite manageable: £4.2m vs £23.9m last time. And they have a recovery plan in place. They mention longevity as a positive factor, but I suspect interest rates will be more important: rising would help, but that's unlikely. I suspect the share price is spooked by Kier Group, and I wonder as well whether huge contracts are the best way forward: so many moving parts, subcontractors, deliver length - all can go wrong. Forward PER is about 6x, 3 brokers go strong buy, 2 go neutral. If I held, I'd stick, but aren't a buyer, as so much can go wrong in the wider scene.

15:41		bamboo2: pakenham, I can't see why they would have another update on Tuesday, following the one yesterday. Unless the new CEO is using his strategy statement to play games with the share price? Having said that the chart does suggest a potential turn mid week.

02:21		kinwah: Such is the nervousness in the sector,a fairly modest profit warning devastates the COST share price. This must be due to investors thinking as with Kier there is worse to come. Any problem is seen as just the tip of an iceberg. That has to be wrong but it takes a brave investor to try and pick the bargains amongst the corporate carnage.

17:26		valedo: I held COST shares for about 15 years and went through all sorts of setbacks and disasters including rights, share consolidation, endless profit warnings. Bad news? You name it and COST will provide it. I sold out a few years ago lucky to be on b/e. And the share price is even lower now than then. One needs only to read back through all the old threads here to find that nothing has improved over about 20 years. Apart from not having the confidence of the city, they always manage to find duff CEO and FDs. Motley Fool today - All of which will leave investors asking questions - do the strong results combined with the decline in share price mean that Costain is a falling knife waiting to be caught? Or does the performance of its shares over the last 12 months put you off? Well, it's up to you whether today's news combined is enough to make the company a buy.
