A slight jump to the upside and retraced back a little. Cannot find much news about this little jump!

[orchestralis] 18/7/2017 11:16

Looks to be recovering a little

[toffeeman] 22/6/2017 11:15

And down less than div which is ok

[dogwalker] 22/6/2017 08:18

Doh ! It's ex-div today : gets me every time.

[toffeeman] 20/6/2017 11:09

A month on and still the same:

Toffeeman - 11 May 2017 - 13:57:19 - 9046 of 9088 It's KCOM's turn - KCOM


Needs to break 95 and retest and then establish that as support.

Thanks LG makes sense

[lord gnome] 19/6/2017 08:25

Nothing to get too excited about. Just a few investors buying ahead of Thursday's 4p ex-div. Back to normal come Friday. Yawn....

[solarno lopez] 19/6/2017 08:19

Nice start to the day most odd

[septimus quaid] 06/6/2017 13:33

Feels like KCOM are shrinking the company into profitability.

[garycook] 06/6/2017 09:45

Skinny,This going back slowly to around the 80p level.

[2schhol] 06/6/2017 09:44

just listened to the conf call, not listened to many of those but not impressed with the CEO slagging of his CFO for being inapt working with technology.
Seems honest to say revenues and margins expected to decline.
That does not fill me with confidence for the dividend, and certainly are not attributes of growth.
I keep them on the radar and see what Q1 and Q2 this year will look like, but not interested in adding them now.

[grahamite2] 06/6/2017 09:15

What more could anyone reasonably ask than boring but solid results? Today of all days it seems unlikely that someone "knows" something, in which case this share price and this dividend are out of kilter.

I'm very much inclined to add, but wary of situations that look odd. Don't know what to do!

Thanks Salchow

[salchow] 06/6/2017 08:25

Results as anticipated. See post 9066. One large investor sees very good growth.

[solarno lopez] 06/6/2017 07:52

whilst there is still growth it seems that the period for good growth has gone

[skinny] 06/6/2017 07:02

Highlights

· Results in line with expectations, reduction from last year largely due to continuing decline in legacy business and additional cost of the national fibre network outsource
· Continued investment in fibre network in Hull & East Yorkshire ahead of schedule, supporting a 3% increase in consumer sales
· Enterprise revenue grown by 5%, with top five customers growing by 16%
· Continued focus on optimising cost base with year-on-year reduction in indirect costs
· Strengthened management team and organisation, aligned to deliver our medium term strategy
· Strong cash management with favourable year-on-year underlying working capital movement
· Recommended final dividend of 4.00p to make 6.00p per share for the full year

What relevance has the spelling to do with the price of potatoes? a waste of time

[arf dysg] 31/5/2017 13:53

I suspect "English-speaking" is dominated by "American-speaking".

[rcturner2] 31/5/2017 13:24

Adviser and advisor are both accepted spellings of the noun meaning one who advises or counsels. There is no difference between them. But adviser, the older version, is listed as the primary spelling in most dictionaries, and it is about five times as common as advisor in current news publications from throughout the English-speaking world.

[arf dysg] 31/5/2017 13:22

I see that they don't know how to spell "Advisor".

And graphically it looks positive.
