New South African covid19 variant is reported having 30 mutations twice that of delta variant

Hopefully K has protected itself from cost overruns due to delays from pandemic closures?

[gerhart] 26/11/2021 11:33

Well the rise was nice while it lasted. The world and the markets now wondering if the new Covid variant, found in Africa, is going to take us all back to square one. For the markets, Friday is the wrong day for this sort of news to be prominent but unclear.

Whatever happens, and in relation to where we are at in UK and Kier being UK-only based business, probably have upward movement back again soon. I hope!

Assuming we all don't die over the weekend! :)

I walked past a few offices and the car parks had very few cars parked up, more office lights switched off than on. Today's news of a second covid19 South African variant shows working home could continue for some time.

I think, in the current situation, the balance of negotiating power lies with the buyer/leaseholder than owner. It might be a while before K offloads Tempsford?

Thanks Imastu, makes sense.

Just on that preceding post - "I can't see any specific news that drove that".

Really? Erm, vaccine news, 9th November?! Pick a share, any share and watch it fly was the game.

Our favourite construction firm 'is understood' to have won a residential development project.

Kier set for £32m Bournemouth council flats job



Kier is understood to have beaten rivals Wates and Morgan Sindall to an affordable flats and hostel scheme in Bournemouth.

The project is being brought forward by the city council at a site in Princess Road, Westbourne.

Kier will build 121 flats and a hostel across four blocks rising to up to 10 storeys.

[petersw1] 22/11/2021 21:31

Just been looking back at November last year. I see the share price rose around 54% from the start to the end of the month. I can't see any specific news that drove that. For whatever reason it made back the losses of the previous 4 months. All while the UK was in its second lockdown. Like you were saying earlier Eddy, the recent rise looks uncannily similar. Just smaller matching up with the smaller preceding drops.
I can't help but think that the long period between trading updates makes people uncomfortable in between.

[petersw1] 19/11/2021 20:36

Is buywell repeating his posts so we can see how wrong he was?
Seems quite odd behaviour.
And what was he going on about the Church of England and Boris for?

[dasty1] 19/11/2021 07:57

I thought we might get a Trading in line with expectations, expectations managed in line with expectations sort of rns today...pointless, but always fun to see how pointless they can make it. Anyone turning up to AGM?

====== HS2 is a BIG mistake and will cost taxpayers 200 Billion Pounds =======

Coronavirus should have been the catalyst to stop it --- boris having had Covid-19 once is now at risk of catching it again --- because you can.


Will the NHS be prepared or equipped with adequate PPE , ventilators , staff and ICU bed capacity plus the equipment needed caught in grip of a second wave surge --- be able to treat him again ?

Or anyone else for that matter as news regarding data has emerged that being Obese makes it 100% probable that you end up hospitalied suffering from Covid-19 ( ie in the 20% of cases that are ).


Worse still being Obese and being one of those 20% of cases hospitalised makes it circa 50% more probable that you will die.
( both above V being a normal weight person )


Lockdowns and new rules and regulations imposed instead of lockdowns are making more and more people obese.


The time has come to rebuild a NEW NHS using HS2 monies to start with to prepare for a long war with Covid-19 and Obesity which also causes several types of cancers and Diabetes as well as several heart conditions.








For those that might think a vaccine will fix things


Worldwide cases are rising at 1M cases every 3.5 days and India is now in a perilous situation . This disease is NOT going away

IMO dyor

Can't see boris getting his vanity projects monies now

UK Debt looking to hit 200% of GDP in 2021 makes that not a wise move now

Watch how the COE clips his wings

[stdyeddy] 18/11/2021 16:51

It's beginning to look like autumn 2020 here again -- share price rising strongly. I have a feeling we might be well past 130p by the time we get to the interim update in mid-January. Glad to see the stalwarts still here.

[johnbuythedips] 18/11/2021 11:37

Just checking in. YTD up 80.77%.
These are staying in the drawer. Looks like I have missed very little.
Is Zico Smelly still short @78p after getting reeled in from Wally no Cadh aka Food Bank Boy from 50p up?
Losers.
GLA holders.

Our favourite construction business wins yet another NHS contract:



Kier wins £34m Sunderland eye infirmary
The firm has just been announced as preferred contractor to design and build a new eye hospital on the Vaux West site and could now start construction in the spring.

[petersw1] 16/11/2021 23:37

Hi Eddy, you're a bit overly generous to me there. I'm no time traveller :) It was around 109p, a bit before the recent low, when I decided I needed to top up here. Will be interesting to see how it develops as we get closer to the trading update in January.

[stdyeddy] 16/11/2021 14:23

Peter, it looks like you called the exact bottom around 106p and we are climbing back. Great news on Tempsford Hall (thanks gixxer) seems to be on the horizon. From memory, our resident half-wit wolly put a value on that estate of around £40m. Whether it's a sale or rent, I am sure it will make a very useful contribution to Kier's cash account.

[gixxer1] 16/11/2021 13:12

@Stutes It is showing as under offer on Savills website. Their website says 'Office to Let' - hopefully it will be Let soon.

[stutes] 16/11/2021 12:29

I note Tempsford Hall is now back on the market (freehold or leasehold) - Savills website.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 12/11/2021 16:47

So I unfiltered you (ages ago - we 'communicated' in September but you conveniently forgot about that, a regular occurrence it seems) and that means I 'never tell the truth'?

Damn, you got me - I made it all up, everything I have said on here. All those Costain trades, all fiction, all just to try and impress you, 'cos I can't think for myself and you're an investment guru.



🙄

You are Johnson-esque (and I know you're a big fan of his, so that makes some sense that you ape his behaviour - he's having a bad time at the moment as well, proving himself to be a moron, just like you) in your ability to create an alternative reality in which you are brilliant and anybody else who disagrees is wrong. Anything (and everything) factual that contradicts that self-narrative is ignored as if it never happened.

Enjoy your alternative reality, although it is indicative of problems to come, maybe even already happening.

[sparty1] 12/11/2021 16:07

Wally I have traded syme many times thanks, my last buys I still hold were at 0.26, 0.18 and o.16.
I averaged down from my first ill judged buy to well below that figure and got out ahead.
I`ll stand by my latest buys not becasue it is a great company but becasue the hype spikes it up and down.

Podgy, you said you had filtered me? You never tell the truth do you? Not because you are bad just because you don`t know what it is...you never know anything until someone
writes it on the internet.Try and think for yourself! I know it hurts but persevere.

[wallywoo] 11/11/2021 12:48

Oh dear, poor old Sparty. How can you be sooo wrong??. Buys SYME at 44p and encourages others to do so (now 17).


He is a economics graduate who thinks there's no inflation. And to top it all, he thinks Kier are a great investment.


I think you need to go back to school, Sparty. Obviously didn't learn anything the first time.
