06/5/2020 15:19 | Very true. Makes a change from the usual snarling over contract disputes/penalties etc. Maybe they're improving at this construction lark. Still no interest in the share price - I reckoned on period of consolidation, but we're getting a period of rigor mortis. Multi-year investment though. Honest... | imastu pidgitaswell | |
06/5/2020 10:38 | This should bode well will potential clients.(and profits for those involved,) | htrocka2 | |

27/4/2020 08:50 | More good news , i just think the 100m (if and when)placing is holding it back a little we shall see lads | gooner1886 | |
27/4/2020 08:49 | Have to say this is excellent news.Markets still sleeping.Expected 120p on that news | ammu12 | |
27/4/2020 08:41 | I've seen him on various threads before; just the usual sad act in need of help. There is something about shares and finance that attracts the socially inept male (assumption) that seeks to impress people they don't know with their claimed but non-existent insight into economic matters. Anyway, nothing worth spending time on. Another new announcement of contract awards today and a little early movement; plenty of these around and available. As ever, what they need to do is manage and execute consistently and reliably. If they do, a 'normal' earnings profile and multiple will result in anything from 200p upwards (diluted basis). Only time will tell. | imastu pidgitaswell | |
25/4/2020 00:30 | buywells thoughts run thus 1. Banks giving mortgage holiday is propping up the market 2. Banks are getting no monies coming through their mortgage doors whilst this holiday lasts and they add risk by extending holidays as property valuations fall and worry sets in ie Risk plus more Risk 3. People are trying to get out of completing , looks like legal monies for the beagles especially re off plan purchases , deposits PLUS losses on the agreed purchase price seem the order of the day. 4. Banks are lifting deposits required , 40% has been mentioned so some mitigation to alleviate earlier Risks then BUT IMO 40% will only protect them from present purchases that are drying up NOT from previous mortgages over the last few years. 5. IF the property market goes into meltdown then Banks will suffer , plus all those who own houses or have positive equitiy in their brick or concrete or wood/platic pile. So around 65% of the population say. Quite serious then for boris and co hence Gove comments buywell would suggest , even he can see what is coming down the road or perhaps more likely the new COE has briefed him. 6. As we all know the property market is all about supply V demand buywell can see supply going through the roof when Covid-19 is finally defeated if indeed it is , say minimum 9 months for a vaccine to be made and issued to joe public. During this time most people will have used up their savings , the government in their infinite wisdom allowed folks to tap their SIPP or pension plans years ago many used the cash to help family buy a brick pile or to buy a second holiday home themselves. So property ownership has grown and a bubble made worse. 7. Why will supply rocket ? a) Because people will want or have to sell their property is why due to b) Debt , no savings , no job . c) Banks stop the mortgage holiday in another 3 months because they can see that they are going to have to foreclose on TOO MANY properties in TOO SHORT a time and thus crash the market themselves by so doing. d) Deaths , many people dying from Covid-19 are homeowners, some elderly by themselves . Many will beneficiaries will sell as they need the cash. c) Divorces , Covid-19 cabin fever , divorce rates will rocket IMO by over 50% and houses get sold to split the proceeds 60% to the lady 40% to the guy 8. This is a good one and one I don't think has been discussed much in the press yet. After Covid-19 would you bet that we won't see a Covid-20 in the next 5 years to follow ? buywell wouldn't Where have all the Covid-19 deaths occurred for the most part ? In densely populated environments like cruise ships , blocks of flats , and CITIES So expect to see a mass migration of the more clued up selling their London or Liverpool , their Birmingham or Leeds , their Manchester , Glasgow, Newcastle etc etc pad to escape to the country. This is why the COE wants to up the stamp duty tax on foreign buyers to 10% plus The English taxpayer needs every penny as total government spend to sort out a new NHS, support ailing FTSE 100 companies , pay laid off workers , and all the other government spends like the HS2 etc are going to run to over 1 Trillion pounds in this Government and 2 Trillion pounds over the next 8 years as of now. The NHS alone needs 500 Billion to sort out to make it fit to fight off another pandemic properly Otherwise this whole sorry mess could repeat again , a global catastrophe is now IMO a real possibility The NHS comes first now , number one spend priority 40,000 existing nursing vacancies currently RN grade Only 4,150 ICU beds and 10,000 old ventilators ( just ordered circa 30,000 more) Estimated 250,000 extra NHS staff needed by 2030 New Hospitals with separate ICU units to avoid contagion New Equipment and procedures with new well trained staff. boris needs to cancel HS2 , forget a new London Airport and start laying out his plans for a NHS total rebuild. IMO dyor PS %age drop in property values = directly proportional to the number and length of lockdowns 10% min for this first one 25% min if we get another 40% min if we get a third | buywell3 | |
22/4/2020 09:59 | Every day the buys are double or treble the sells...wtf ?This will be like a coiled spring, slightest whiff of decent t news and 200p will easily be seen.Not sure why this manipulation is happening.Mms always fiddling the private investors.DyorGla. | countdracula55 | |
21/4/2020 21:28 | The manipulation continues..just look at the Buy to Sell ratio! ...only a weak or poor trader would now sell below 95p | rossi67 | |
21/4/2020 10:47 | Bought at 38p and sold at 95.Just got back in at 79p as it's likely the issue will be nearer £1...in which case there will be approx 30% fewer shareholders and a much higher EPS..all conjecture for now | rossi67 | |
21/4/2020 10:28 | Although as cyberbub notes, there will be share dilution. 108 million shares in issue. To raise £100m, at say 70p means there will be c142m shares issued. Resulting in total shares in issue of 108+142 = 250 million shares. So whatever the future earnings are - and there is along way between having a turnover and target margin and actually achieving it - it needs to be divided by 250 not 108 to calculate an earnings per share. Ergo, (for example) the 38p earnings from 2018 will be 15p in 'new' EPS. Some pundits have noted 6-7% margins, and £1 billion annual turnover = £70m pre tax, say £50m post tax. With 250 million shares, that's 20p a share EPS. Massive caveats etc, but reasonable punt. All good enough for me to just hold and await developments, having bought sub 40p. | imastu pidgitaswell | |
21/4/2020 10:14 | * Forward order book of £4.2bn, excluding recent wins * Approx £50m in net cash * Large available undrawn loan facility This is a company that was valued at well over £300m less than a year ago. It has not been adversely affected by the virus and yet now has a market cap of only £86m!! The £100m share issue has already been underwritten by HSBC, Investic & Liberum and the share price is now being manipulated. If it's issued at below 100p, which is unlikely, then it'll soon double once some of the delayed work commences and the balance sheet improves | rossi67 | |
20/4/2020 09:21 | Just looking in here.From their last results the company is short of 'readily available' cash, and seem to be fully committed to a £100M fundraising for strategic reasons (rather than only short term cashflow).Furthermor | cyberbub | |
17/4/2020 21:17 | Good week this week I'm praying for a pull back to buy more lol, under a quid it's a gift | gooner1886 | |
17/4/2020 15:10 | Should smash 150p next week | bob1995 | |
17/4/2020 14:35 | Costain on the move through 90p again.. | pointscorer | |
17/4/2020 14:35 | Costain is the backbone of Britain....a british institute.They built much of Britain's infrastructure including the M4 motorway.Very cheap bargain now hs2 and other projects in the pipeline. | countdracula55 | |
17/4/2020 09:50 | Is Costain eligible for this? 50 million could come in handy The plan will see the government give an 80% guarantee to banks on the loans. Companies with sales of more than 45 million pounds can apply for as much as 25 million pounds of finance, while those with revenue exceeding 250 million pounds can get up to 50 million pounds. | farrugia | |
