will be rerated.patience.fairvalue 150p.

[dual] 07/4/2020 13:13

Surprised these are not trading above 100p given the news and the market direction over last two days.

[sr2day] 03/4/2020 16:51

there you are market makers in control.but it will be back over 100 pence.

[prokartace] 03/4/2020 16:23

Famous last words!

[sr2day] 03/4/2020 11:12

they are reducing debt having sold their cash business.and i think they will thrive in from the current situation.they should cross the 100 pence once the market makers allow it to do so.

G4S are supporting the NHS and other key workers in number of ways. They are one company who appear to benefiting from the current situation. Share price should be rising rather than falling.

In these circumstances, the Board has concluded that it is prudent and therefore in the best interest of the company that G4S does not pay a 2019 final dividend.

Down to 16 year low.

Support level in 2004 was circa 110p

All time low 67p reached in March 2003

While I'm not invested I have had these on my watch list and I have to say that I am at a bit of a loss to understand the pretty extreme negative reaction.
As other posters have pointed out underlying profit and cash flow both looked solid.
I guess that without the cash handling business going forward profitability will drop considerably if they cannot replace that business but that was always a known fact.
I am keeping them on my watch list for the moment as any further weakness would tempt me.

GFS seems like a good deal at below 120p currently with decent results issued and plenty of cash.

Any excuse and the market will knock the share price down but I think the results are pretty good. The loss is really just a paper loss caused by a write down of goodwill.

[enami] 11/3/2020 07:38

I am not sure what the market will make of these results.

Headline underlying figures all positive but a statutory loss of GBP91 million reflecting a GBP291 million charge for goodwill impairment, mainly relating to UK Cash Solutions, GBP19 million restructuring and GBP38 million Cash separation costs.

April 30 XD 6.11p
June 12 Div Pay
Dividend Yield 7.31%

 "This transaction represents an important milestone in the execution of 
our corporate strategy. The sale of these conventional cash businesses 
simplifies the Group and enables G4S to focus on the growth of our core 
integrated security solutions business and the further development of 
our rapidly growing cash and payment technology business. The proceeds 
from the sale of these conventional cash businesses reduce financial 
leverage and provide the Group with the flexibility to continue to 
invest in our core businesses and we believe that the increased focus 
and financial strength will deliver material benefits for customers, 
shareholders and employees."
