Posted at 18/2/2025 16:03 by stdyeddy Also, right now we are at a shareprice price break-out for the month and within a penny of breaking out from the three-month high in early December.As blueclyde has pointed out, we've consolidated around this area for a year now. Good economic numbers coming through -- the economy has grown fractionally, despite all the media doom-mongering, unemployment has not changed, wages have continued to grow, and I anticipate that the next bit of good news as far as the govt is concerned, will be that the govt has raked in record-breaking tax revenue this January, which will support its build, build, build ambitions. The shareprice break-out is long overdue, and I think that now worries on govt finances are abating, we should see the shares hit Berenberg's price target of 210p fairly soon. 'Defence' shares are up btw, and Kier is building on at least three military sites right now. My guess is that this will be another area of expansion for Kier. Also small nuclear-power sites, renewable power projects and eventually, residential housing -- Kier has several joint-ventures for apartment buildings and many town-regen projects. I think we may be at the beginning of a construction boom. |
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 20/1/2025 09:28 by itisonlymoney trading update tomorrow. construction enquirer rankings show kier with £1bn more contracts this yr compared to last yr. what i'd like to know is, what kind of double dealing thievery is being done by the market makers for kier shares today? 2.5mn shares traded in the first hour and 20 minutes, which is about two and a half times a normal daily trade volume but the price stays static. how likely is it that? what idiot is selling kier before the trading update when the business has been winning work hand over fist for a yr? seriously, who is being conned out of their kier shares today at 138p, the price of this business when it was almost bust? who is selling 2.5mn shares b4 the next interim dividend announcement? |
Posted at 09/1/2025 15:14 by gp1948 Kier rerating on the cards, says Deutsche BankDeutsche Bank is predicting a rerating at Kier Group (KIE), which is benefiting from its leading position in UK infrastructure. Analyst Jonathan Coubrough retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and increased the target price from 200p to 235p on the construction group, which was trading up 1% at 144p on Wednesday morning and is up 31% over the past year. Coubrough said the group has ‘leading positions [in] UK infrastructure markets, generating nearly all revenues from UK public sector and regulated customers’, across roads, rail, water, education, health and justice It has seen growth in its order book. That sets Kier up for ‘strong multi-year revenue visibility’, said the analyst. Coubrough estimated 50% earnings growth over the medium term, and a ‘potential re-rating from less than 7 times price to earnings to sub-sector averages of more than 10 times as the group achieves average monthly net cash over the next financial year’. ‘[Kier] has attractive opportunities across its core markets, enabling ongoing selectivity,’ said Coubrough. |
Posted at 06/12/2024 13:32 by stdyeddy We're at 10 times the daily volume traded here today even with another 2.5 hours to go, and the 8% rise in the share price almost puts KIE on ADVFN's top ten leaderboard. Something's happening here.MAYBE it's Keir Starmer's pledge yesterday to triple the number of infrastructure projects in the next year. Maybe. But there's some serious stake-building going on and the business is seriously undervalued compared to peers. Could be a bid is in the offing. GFRD is actually down, MGNS is up a mere 0.26%, COST is up 2.4%. The main index is flat. £15m of Kier bought today so far. In five years, I've not seen this level of interest in Kier without a major company announcement, and so far there's nothing. |
Posted at 08/11/2024 15:30 by itisonlymoney vistry is a house-builder, not a civils construction business and has a well-reported management issue. kier will issue a short update next week ahead of the agm and all the signs indicate it will be a good one. The construction sector is booming. Kier's share price is under-performing right now, for no good reason. Costain is half kier's market cap at 108p, on a quarter of the turnover and margin a third lower. Kier should be £2 based on current results and the return to dividend payments. I'm expecting this to rally strongly into the new year. |
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. |
Posted at 21/7/2024 12:21 by marksp2011 Well StutesI think it rare that the price of a share and the value of that share as a fractional ownership are the same. Is the share price ahead of the facts? I don't think so. At one stage, the share price reflected complete doom and hence the big bounces as the medium term plan was delivererd. I can understand why the market always looked for the negative in Kier. Does it need a rights issue? Yes I think it would help the balance sheet and probably advance company progress by a couple of years but I expect Kier will buy back its notes as the cash position improves howver the capital cost will rise as interest an expensive debt repurchase. |
