Posted at 18/3/2025 08:20 by Kier Daily Update Kier Group Plc is listed in the Gen Contractor-oth Residentl sector of the London Stock Exchange with ticker KIE. The last closing price for Kier was 120p.Kier currently has 452,875,390 shares in issue. The market capitalisation of Kier is £551,602,225. Kier has a price to earnings ratio (PE ratio) of 12.92. This morning KIE shares opened at 121.20p |
Posted at 13/3/2025 08:16 by stdyeddy At 200,000 shares a week, near to this current price the share buyback will be completed in a little over three months, but realistically this price won't stay for very long. They should double that buying volume at least while it's in the 120s.Regarding Balfour, I think I agree with you. Presumably Davies and Leo Quinn have already had lunch together. But Quinn is leaving Balfour and the new guy is unlikely to want to handle a major transformation before he's even got his feet under the desk. There must've been a conversation though. Kier is a complex business -- lots of divisions, loads of legacy demarcations. Kier bought three companies to grow to its current size and the 'goodwill' component of each of those is nowhere near being written down from the balance sheet. Davies spent ages trying to disentangle Kier Living, the residential property arm of the business, from the group in order to sell it, and this negotiation involved the pension trustees. A purchase by Balfour might require the sell-off of some parts to address monopoly issues. Also, the integration effort nearly sank Kier as a business six years ago -- there were a few other issues including poor management and huge dividend outflows -- but the size and complexity of the business make it a formidable project as a purchase, I imagine. What I'm saying is, buying Kier would require someone with rapacious empire-building ambitions. I've got a feeling it would be the Americans. Maybe even the Australians -- they like buying UK infrastructure. Our mettle is bred out. Private equity though, would be a different story -- buy Kier, sell-off the parts. Possibly a more likely scenario. |
Posted at 12/3/2025 17:37 by stdyeddy A lot of eyes on Kier as an opportunity now. Thanks monet -- I was about to post the same info from the RNS just now.Kier management piling in with their own money on the low share price. Not just one or two. A lot of people can see the absurdly low valuation here. Forward p/e is about 5. Less than half the sector average. I'd really like to see the buyback scheme capitalise on this situation and grab a few million this week. Incredibly, almost 4 million shares traded today barely moved the price. That's getting on for double the average volume here. It looks to me like the market is still trying to make sense of this price for Kier, and hasn't yet seen that the fundamentals are hugely strong. |
Posted at 12/3/2025 10:29 by stdyeddy Investor's Chronicle had this to say yesterday and upgraded Kier to 'buy':Sell-off in Kier’s shares is hard to fathom Share price plunges despite improving balance sheet and maintained guidance ... unless there has been some (as yet to be disclosed) heavy selling by a substantial shareholder, it’s difficult to work out why a business whose fundamentals continue to strengthen is being priced well under six times earnings. Especially, as Deutsche Numis analyst Jonathan Coubrough points out, it stands to yield about 8 per cent this year in buybacks and dividends. Upgrade to buy. |
Posted at 09/3/2025 06:08 by bathboy2 If the share price drops after the results, then peel hunt will pile in , this would then smack of insider trading after the low level dabbling up to now , if the share price rises , they have had the opportunity to buy more in the last few days, don't get their thinking of spending more money to buy less shares, unless like I say they know what is coming , and been playing lip service to share buybacks |
Posted at 04/3/2025 16:25 by antrox Besides the worldwide economic disaster, it is quite normal to see Kier's share price (SP) drop for weeks followed by a slow recovery. Unfortunately, I am not convinced that the share price will rise above 160p. It's better to buy the dip and sell at 150p.The buyback is ridiculous, and as I said from the beginning, I would have appreciated a higher dividend. However, with 83% of the company owned by financial institutions, the buyback makes them happier. |
Posted at 27/2/2025 07:25 by blueclyde You make my point. Morgan Sindall is valued at 1.7 billion vs Kier at 600 million. We need to wait to see Kiers results but the figures will be close to Morgan Sindall. Morgan Sindall has a higher cash position but Kier will accumulate over 100 million cash this year and that is why Kiers share price will double pretty quickly to take it to 1.2 billion market cap. |
Posted at 21/1/2025 19:36 by itisonlymoney it's the circumstances stutes. i prefer the share buyback here because kier management is getting wise to the stockmarket. they've obviously been getting advice from people who understand how the stockmarket works. part of davies and kesterton's bonuses depend on kier hitting shareprice targets. they've tried to get the market interested in the shares in capital market days and results presentations and they always fail because there's a lack of confidence and understanding out in the market.there's no way for instance that the share price should've got to 130p the other day. that's an insane valuation for this business. the brokers can put out all the analyst notes they want but money talks. this way everyone knows that there's a floor under the share price now. if they don't know it, they will soon see it. peel hunt will buy anytime the price drops and this'll give stability to the share price £20m will go a long way. you can buy small amounts in a share that only trades 1m a day to give it a little push upwards or at least prevent "stop hunting" by the market makers. it changes the balance from, likely to go down, to likely to go up. this kind of wise move from kier just adds to the attraction of the fundamentals; the business generated another £120m in cash in the last 12 months and net cash is growing, even while kier pays out dividends. revenue is up a little and frm the cash figure, it looks like kier has continued to make at least 3% margin. that's £120m operating profit. divi this yr will likely be £40m. that's nearly 7% on this shareprice. the interim divi will be a third of the total and will send the share price much higher. the sharebuyback will make sure the share price is in the right place to begin with so that we actually see the benefit. that's why it's different to lloyds and that's why i'm glad their doing it. this way we get share price growth AND dividends. |
Posted at 21/1/2025 18:23 by itisonlymoney A lot more MoD work being won by kier. It's already building submarine docks and RNAS Culdrose. this'll be another big yr for kier.Kier share price rises on news of buyback scheme Kier said its order book stood at about £11bn at the end of December, 3 per cent up on a year earlier. It has also secured more than 95 per cent of its targeted revenue for the current financial year, with places on long-term frameworks. “Bidding discipline and risk management embedded across the business continue to drive the high-quality and profitable order book,” said the update. Kier added: “The board believes the group has a strong, stable and flexible balance sheet, capable of supporting growth opportunities and, consistent with its capital allocation framework, considers it is appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders to commence the buyback programme. “The company has entered into a non-discretionary agreement with Peel Hunt to conduct the buyback programme on its behalf and carry out on-market purchases of ordinary shares.” Kier Construction this month won a deal to design and build accommodation at a British Army base in Hampshire. |
Posted at 21/1/2025 07:54 by stdyeddy From Construction Enquirer:KIER LAUNCHES £20M SHARE BUYBACK AS DEBT CUT Strong trading and cash generation in the first half of the year saw Kier strengthen its balance sheet shrinking average month debt to £38m from £137m previously. The improved financial position saw chief executive Andrew Davies launch a £20m share buyback programme this morning. In an upbeat trading update for the first six month he said Kier enjoyed a strong order book at the end of December, up to 3% at £11bn on a year before giving the contractor confidence for the full year performance. “Kier has delivered a strong first half performance, in line with our expectations, ” said Davies. “We continue to be well positioned to benefit from UK Government and regulated industry infrastructure spending plans into areas where Kier offers market leading services, notably transport, education, healthcare, justice, defence, nuclear and water. “Given our order book growth combined with our continued de-levering and greater confidence that we will achieve an average month-end net cash position, we have announced today a £20m share buyback, as part of our evolved capital allocation policy to maximise shareholder returns.” He added that as a strategic supplier to key areas of the new Government’s priorities, including transport, education, healthcare, justice, defence and nuclear, Kier saw significant medium term growth opportunities, also support by substantial investment in the regulated water sector. |
Posted at 03/10/2024 16:02 by tinkertraderxx Interesting this war of words with Wallwoo. I had a scroll back through the chat history to see who is actually telling the truth.Here's an example of a post from WallyWoo on 24th January 2023. "As usual, I will be proven right, and the share price will fall back. You, on the other hand, will be proven to be a silly share ramper who is trying to cheat investors into buying this rubbish. In other words, same old sh×t that has been going on for 5 years now!!! It really is a very simple scenario now, no debt reduction and the share price will remain static, debt increasing and the share price will crash. Unfortunately, with Kier's dishonest rns statements you always have to read between the lines. Debt is 100%, absolutely, and no way round it, going up!! Despite everything you say to try and cloud that issue. It went up in h1 2022, h2 2022, and will most likely go up this period." On that date, Kier's share price was circa 60p. Wally, I hope you are not really an investor. A little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing. |
