Revisiting that SQZ is 240 and FGP remains at 101.

Will look at FGP again around Easter time.

[joestalin] 18/11/2021 15:39

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.

Anyone tendering their holdings?

Haven't decided yet but minded to do so. This company is too errorprone to be a comfortable hold!

Has ChronicInvestor got a view?

PEEL HUNT RAISES RPS GROUP PRICE TARGET TO 138 (121) PENCE - 'BUY'

Generous tender offer announced at £1.05 a share implying board confidence that this is undervalued. happy long term holder as positive momentum should continue now that Greyhound is gone and the government announcements on public transport investment. Sector consolidation likely too. This is a great sector for 2022 and beyond IMO

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)

London to Edinburgh... on the £15 express! Budget rail service will offer fares between the two capitals at rock-bottom prices https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9964147/Budget-rail-service-offer-fares-London-Edinburgh-rock-bottom-prices.htmlLumo is owned by First Group

More director purchases albeit only 15k from a non exec. Lots of positives; no covid traces on trains in a recent study, staycations this year, trainline seeing underlying growth in ticket sales all point towards organic growth here, we have a c.41p cash return to look forward to, a strong balance sheet and the cherry on the cake would be a Greyhound sale! Ok i’m asking too much on the dog of the business….

[rimau1] 02/8/2021 12:10

Encouraging to see the Director purchases after the closed period end. By my calcs we will have 41p returned as a special and forecast earnings is around 5p for 2022 so we are trading on a forward PE of around 8 times. With a strong balance sheet, economy opening up and the ESG angle (public transport) this looks a decent long term hold for me.

Don't say you was never told!
My bird Sheila tells me, we're in for another lockdown...cases are rising.. hence, shares will drip.

FIRSTGROUP PLC STATEMENT RE:
UK GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR BUS INDUSTRY

FirstGroup plc (‘FirstGroup’ or ‘the Group’) welcomes the announcement by the Department for Transport (‘DfT’) of a bus recovery funding package to support the provision of vital services by regional bus operators in England as pandemic restrictions ease.

The new funding of £226.5m over six months will reinforce delivery of local bus services across England as passenger numbers rebuild. The funding package will support the industry’s transition away from the COVID-19 Bus Service Support Grant (‘CBSSG’) programme, which has been in place since May 2020 and will formally come to end on 1 September with the introduction of the new package.
