Well that was better than expected. Even paying a dividend! Yield just under 4% which is just fine.

I think they've been far too gloomy about Brexit in their outlook statements and ignored the possibility of a 'Brexit bounce' when we're free of the shackles and enabled by new trade deals from end December onwards, particularly if the hapless Khan is finally ousted from the Mayoralty and instead of just painting rainbows the motor of London's enterprise heart can be restarted.

The only issue with this company is keeping up with the incessant newsflow ;o)

Results due/overdue

Unusual to see movement here. Interim dividend payment date today. Wouldn't be surprised to see interest returning to FLK with renewed optimism for UK and London compared to rest of Europe.

it twitches

[bluemango] 20/12/2019 09:16

Dividend maintained and uncertainty over whether we'd ever decide on Brexit finally removed.

Results not as bad as I feared and grounds for optimism looking ahead.

Hefty investment in FLK on 26th Nov by "David Thompson" (for his SIPP), 300,000 shares, costing around a cool £135k.

results not bad, despite the cheeringly pessimistic tone.

Here's my brief analysis

[norbert colon] 26/10/2017 07:22

RICS commercal survey: 73% of respondents sense central London market is "in some stage of a downturn." in office sector.

Valuation coming off as expected, however....https://amp.ft.com/content/bcd274e6-6dff-11e7-b9c7-15af748b60d0

Actually rose this morning despite the 3p XD!

[bluemango] 31/8/2017 09:06

I'm not selling despite the steep rise, because yield is still an impressive 5.8%. Would be hard put to find a decent alternative home for the cash given that secure, good yield is my priority.

[deadly] 30/8/2017 17:26

Rising almost every day; another 3% today!

[bluemango] 24/8/2017 11:51

Thanks, no hurry.

If the free float is only 3.3m that's still pretty small and explains how easily the price moves on any trading.

[norbert colon] 23/8/2017 20:25

BluemangoSorry for tardy reply re: free float - not had chance to look in any detail sorry but stockopedia states free float as being 3.3m shares or 36%. If I get a chance I will look in more detail when I get back from holiday.

Ta, Nobert Colon. :-)

I can't explain the share price movement.

Another chunky (for FLK) buy today, and someone paid almost 4% above the quoted offer price.

Maybe it's being 'discovered' as a good, long-term investment? Any recent broker recommendation? I haven't seen anything.

[norbert colon] 21/8/2017 15:37

Current price is a multi year high although not certain what is driving it.Seems plenty of appetite for the stock and I have been recently selling into the strength after a recap as cannot see the share price sustained above 60p but only time will tell. Good luck to all.

[ed 123] 21/8/2017 10:46

Yes, break out - but I'll not be selling at this level.

A good income stock for me.

[deadly] 21/8/2017 10:44

breakout to new highs.
Goes xd in 2 weeks.

[bluemango] 22/7/2017 11:16

Thanks Norbert.

Could you possibly help me out with my attempts to assess the free float, see above?

Or anyone else?

[norbert colon] 22/7/2017 10:38

Hi blue. Yes still here thanks. I have put a couple of comments on twitter re: share price strength which is somewhat surprising given economic / market headwinds but as we all know this is a well run and managed business. The sale of a further SHIPS vehicle will be good for investors and perhaps that has sparked some interest. There is still the chance that the Board look to sell the business as they don't really need/want to be listed and someone might be interesting in buying the listing and doing something with the shell.Happy to hold, collect the divi and await any news flow.
