Posted at 10/3/2023 12:30 by kalai1 FirstGroup PLC issued a positive Trading Update for the period since November 2022. Guidance was raised, FY 2023 Group adjusted operating profit and adjusted attributable profit will be ahead of the Group’s previous expectations. First Bus improved performance was driven by higher passenger volumes in H2 2023 and driver resource pressures easing in certain locations. First Rail open access operations also benefitted from stronger than anticipated passenger demand over the winter months. The acquisition of Ensign Bus Company Limited completed during the period, while management expect to receive around £74m as earnout consideration from the sale of First Transit to Transdev North America. Valuation looks relatively attractive with forward PE at 12x and PS ratio at just 0.17x, share price lacks some momentum. FGP is a solid Passenger Transportation name that has been repositioned in recent years. Not particularly exciting, but not a bad defensive name to hold in a portfolio either, particularly with the UK economy in recession......from WealthOracle |

Posted at 18/11/2021 15:39 by joestalin I sold at 101 and bought SQZ which had fallen to 181. I figured that FGP would not rise much higher until well into 2022. |
Posted at 21/10/2021 14:03 by joestalin Greyhound - Sale gone ahead - FGP are £125m richer. The deal will help FirstGroup cut its adjusted net debt to about 10 million to 20 million pounds ($27.60 million), about 80 million to 90 million pounds lower than an earlier forecast.($1 = 0.7246 pounds) |

Posted at 11/5/2021 13:37 by knowing I see Coast are pushing potentially for a higher dividend return. |
Posted at 01/5/2021 10:15 by dealy not yet. anyway, dividends should not affect share prices. if the company has the cash or pays it directly to shareholders (transfer from one pocket to the other) it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. The shares will simply fall 30p the day it becomes ex dividend. Having the cash though is very important to the fair value |
Posted at 28/4/2021 13:10 by knowing Just to add that the 30p could be the first return to shareholders and there may be more. If I were an Insti I would short this down to buy in cheap as I could.* Ongoing FirstGroup will be a leader in public transportation focused on the UK, with a strong platform on which to create sustainable value: * Well-capitalised and de-risked balance sheet * Cash generative operating model that will support an attractive dividend * Critical enabler of economic, social and environmental goals at key inflection point for public transport * Transaction subject to FirstGroup shareholder approval; circular to be published as soon as practicable * Sale completion expected in calendar H2 2021 following North American regulatory approval timetable * Recent trading: Group expects adjusted operating profit for the 2021 financial year to be ahead of management's previous expectations; current liquidity in excess of £900m |
Posted at 27/4/2021 09:16 by chess123 Avanti bookings have went through the roof, especially from England to Scotland edinburgh is particularly popular, the Caledonia sleeper (serco) is also seeing a similar rise, people staying in the uk, this bodes well for first group obviously the west coast is part of a shared franchise 70% owned by first group ,it is very profitable, im not sure about the buses but management seem very confident going forward the 30p dividend is going to be paid and they said this year we're nearly in may so im holding especially for the dividend, but must confess the drop from 100p on Friday to 83p today is surprising as the news was great , i thought would go above the 100p and stay there. Wonder if the share is being shorted |
