From yesterday's ADVFN market report

"At the same time, shares of G4S lagged behind all others on the FTSE, falling 4% after Deutsche Bank said it doesn't see significant "hidden value" in G4S to warrant the security company's current valuation, and downgraded its rating on G4S to sell from hold. "We expect a lower Group growth profile in this cycle despite benefits from [emerging markets] exposure. We see limited scope for large cost saving surprises," wrote Deutsche Bank analysts. "We trust the new management's plans for the business can improve operating results however in our view the benefits are more than priced in."

Back to the 220s range???

Just when I thought they were starting to turn the corner. The share price had held up well over the last week or so and then this revelation. The bad PR just keeps coming.

Anyone following these shares. I bought in an ISA last May and they are broadly flat. My logic behind buying was that with all the bad press, and self-inflicted failures, etc....things could not get any worse. This is still my view.

Considering adding more this year. They are not as exposed to the Uk Gov as Serco and I believe they are in the early stages of a turnaround. After the recent repayment of the over-charge, again there should be a slow thaw in the relationship with the Gov and hope of new contracts.

you know it makes sense, same cr4p as it posts on Serco and other threads

Was is our NO LABOUR LORD "MINORS" who bought ?

[buywell2] 13/3/2014 07:18

Well they should have done that when the share was over 250p

If 200p or less gets hit , then dilution will be so much worse

This lot don't seem to doing very well ... will this so called Govmt now look to award contracts elsewhere ?

Can't do much worse .... like the back to work contract .... what a shower

[hazelton] 13/3/2014 06:53

I agree , 200p or thereabouts has been my long term opinion. The recent reduction in debt equity is welcome but I would like to see a bit more. The threat of a rigths issue is still in my mind.

[buywell2] 12/3/2014 17:36

And they have to pay more monies now back to the Government than was thought

ie now around Circa £110m

Next results will be worse than was expected methinks

Chartwise sub 200p looks likely in my humble opinion

More bad news - RNS "Statement Re Agreement With Ministry Of Justice"

SP down to the February lows.

buywell2 - here's a little bit of fun for you to help you further understand company restructuring.When debt is reduced by £300m, from £1.8bn to £1.5bn in one year, what is the % debt reduction achieved in just 12 months?

[buywell2] 12/3/2014 08:50

Yes .... and the share price is down 10p on the day thus far

Dividends are the icing on the cake NOT the main reason for buying a stock

Especially one with £1.5 Billion of debt

[enami] 12/3/2014 08:40

Final dividend 5.54p, it will be paid on 13 June 2014 to shareholders who are on the register on 2 May 2014.

[buywell2] 12/3/2014 07:46

Only £1,500,000,000 in debt then


-- Financial position strengthened.

Net debt of GBP1.5bn at year end (2012: GBP1.8bn)

[steven1404] 11/3/2014 21:51

340 mil profit for the year

[enami] 07/3/2014 16:28

Top gainer on the FTSE100 today, I don't think that has ever happened before.

[enami] 07/3/2014 11:01

It's a bit of a mystery why this is doing so well today.

Results due next week 12 March. Maybe a leak??

[hvs] 24/2/2014 13:53

Its going down BIG TIME.

[hvs] 11/2/2014 12:12

Its out of control is it ?

I wants my pay off for a job done very very badly.

Give me my pay off.
