The stockopedia article is less than reassuring and may account for the fall this week. More comforting is that the shorters do not seem to have smelt blood - Kier has not been more than 0.5% shorted since 2013.Fingers crossed.

The Construction Company will soon be able to cut overhead by reducing pre-construction/tendering spend as there's no point in tendering for turnover and margin which has already been secured through the selective process of cherry-picking ex Carrilion Government Framework Contracts. Their 20/20 Vision is about to be renamed 20/18 Realization !

Yep. Added again today at 1048.

They're missing something here. What an outstanding opportunity for the Business and punters @ this level.

Peel Hunt 'did reiterate' 1.600p price target

[eriktherock] 16/1/2018 21:51

Given that Kier will cherry-pick Government sponsored framework projects. It's hard to believe that the share price is not past 1300. It will be by the end of the week of course.

In last night ITV News at 10, Robert Preston commented that according to a number of sources Carillion is only the first of a number of big players that could go under this year...let's hope Kier is not amongst them!

kier mentioned specifically (and positively) by government minister David Lidington in House of Commons today.

Chart looks quite encouraging here with early indications that upward momentum may finally be building.

[riviera1069] 15/1/2018 14:44

Stew. I think the opposite will play out here and this company will benefit from Cllns problems.Im long here and have added further last week.

[stewart64] 15/1/2018 09:18

Carillion's liquidation will certainly make contracts less competitive in future. It still highlights the fact that, like Carillion, Kier probably has zero margin contracts ongoing and legacy issues for years to come. There is a serious problem with this industry, it has high labour costs, high compliance costs and high plant costs. The result is they produce very little product for what seems like unbelievable sums and still make a loss.

Business as usual?

KIER GROUP PLC

JOINT VENTURES WITH CARILLION PLC



Kier Group plc ("Kier"), a leading property, residential, construction and services group, notes today's announcement relating to Carillion plc ("Carillion").



Kier currently operates joint ventures involving Carillion on HS2 and the Highways England smart motorways programme.



We have put in place contingency plans for each of these projects and are working closely with clients so as to achieve continuity of service.



Following today's announcement and after a short period of transition for these contracts, we do not expect there to be an adverse financial impact on the Group arising from these joint venture contracts.

I noted a suggestion yesterday that KIE was a sub- contractor to CLLN, which suggests that it might take a hit from latter's administration, which might be offset by having contracts moved directly to it.

[ygor705] 12/1/2018 15:28

With Carillion likely to be going into administration fairly shortly I have been asking myself which of its competitors is likely to be a major beneficiary? I have a feeling that it could well be Kier!

Numis are at 1510 I think

Peel Hunt today reiterates 1,600p price target

[mfhmfh] 19/12/2017 08:52

bought in here yesterday. hopefully the downtrend from April has reversed. MACD has turned positive.

[sparty1] 30/11/2017 10:28

Good turnround play imo..Plenty of contracts on the go and more since the budget.
Returning to mainly core business. Can see an improvement coming.Kier very busy in my neck of the woods! building and services..Shame the workers are not paid much down here in the south west..

They are losing very significant monies on their infrastructure projects.

Merseyside Gateway have lost their commercial director.

Avoid ...They look cheap but you will buy them considerably cheaper.

Lucifer100...I don't like the unadjusted p/e multiples. This has been going on for years...no taxable profit for the previous three years either in aggregate.
The brokers love it and one assumes there is something there in the Emperor's clothes that the uneducated just can't see.
