Galliford Try Share Discussion Threads

Breakout test coming up with the price at 161.5p. Further large blocks (500k and 524k yesterday and a 1.53m print on Tuesday) have been hitting the books here. Someone clearly lobbing in size at that key 160p resistance but have they been exhausted (Aberforth are a buyer disclosing just over 5%) to allow the breakout now? There are only 111m shares in issue here so significant and notable demand for shares here this week. All imo DYOR

1.44m gone through here @ 158.75P - significant trade. Price is range bound (illiquid blips aside) between 156p and 160p since 16th July and the re-rate on the forecast beat. GFRD barely batted an eye lid in the recent plunge down, so clearly some underlying demand judging by such price moves (GFRD has a tendency to lurch more than the market move on a sell off), but who is coming in for this big chunk, will more follow and can it breakout above 160p? All imo DYOR

Was stuck in the doldrums for some time but now starting to get back towards sensible levels

Excellent! Costain also announced today - weaker statement weaker Board and a CEO who clearly needs educating on how to work with the markets. Much weaker in content than the full update provided by GFRD.

Good trading statement, at the upper end of market expectations, market should like IMO.

[our haven] 14/7/2021 08:47

Reporting tomorrow so see if we get any price movement today either way to indicate sentiment.

Good to see the contract win and the continuing strength of the relationship with the client. Hopefully the contract has a reasonable margin to deliver long term value.

hxxps://www.scottishconstructionnow.com/article/morrison-construction-owners-facing-14m-claim-over-cairngorm-funicular-defects Looks like GFRD will need to defend a £14M claim for defects on the Cairngorm funicular railway.

Didn’t the Premier Milton holding go down from 13% slightly through? I don’t think it’s a new interest unless I am misreading it which is quite possible! Puzzled by the sudden increase in the last few days.

Amazed how GFRD are valued at a mere £153m Turnover well in excess of £1bn, order book £3bn. So many opportunities. So many impressive projects in the past. The Aberdeen Bye Pass, the new Forth bridge, the roof of the centre court Wimbledon, flood defences, schools and many others. All successfully completed but with low margins. Also tainted by CLLN type disasters within the sector. I am well invested here in the hope that things will improve within this sector. Insanely undervalued for company that does such socially important work.

Possible buy out,or Take over 180p maybe !

[careful] 24/6/2021 08:25

So Premier Milton Group have 12.6% of the voting rights. Quite a surge in the share price since this was announced. Does anyone know what the significance is?

[garycook] 22/6/2021 11:35

Nice 500,000 share purchase at 127.70p.

[zicopele] 19/6/2021 19:10

For every buyer there is a seller. What difference does it make how it is marked?

[ansc] 18/6/2021 11:36

That's odd. I've just sold a few and surprised to achieve the quoted offer price and then subsequently find that the trade had actually been marked as a buy! The Market Manipulators filling a largish buy?

Probably at a 1% margin of error!

Won part of a very nice tender announced today Https://bidstats.uk/tenders/?q=galliford

Hocking should not even be taking on contracts with such fine margins, it is time that these public companies colluded to accept that shareholders deserve to be treated better. The business of running companies for the benefit off staff is for the Govt. of the State, they have no place as listed companies. Always thought Hocking was an idiot, the valuation sums it up.

[bookbroker] 11/6/2021 20:12

Problem with 2% net margin, what is the point in pitching for contracts on that basis, absolutely none whatsoever!

[knowing] 11/6/2021 15:02

I would take a look on Bidstats 😮
