I think we could see £4 if the fall carries on, we are in a down trend now thats for sure.

[riskblue] 21/11/2012 15:57

Looks like we have a seller. Two large trades just gone through. Could they be linked to recent management changes?

[rburtn] 21/11/2012 15:52

There certainly seems to be something fishy here, what are the high frequency traders targeting this for unless something is out there known to a select group.

[a2584728] 21/11/2012 15:52

They will be a bid target at these levels.

£7.50 would do it for me 50% premium to todays price.

[bsharman3] 21/11/2012 15:46

and down and down. Has anyone heard anything??

[lord gnome] 21/11/2012 15:40

And still it goes down!

[soi] 21/11/2012 11:49

Bought a few at 519.5 today, unfortunately also bought previously at higher levels.

The share price struggled this time of year last year also if I recall correctly.

[bsharman3] 21/11/2012 09:35

I think I have caught a falling knife. Is there something going on with this one??

[harmonics] 21/11/2012 09:09

I have put a buy order in at 525.
I wanted to get more of my stocks out of financial based shares and have been looking at this stock for months, this presents a fantastic buy in opportunity for me.

[lord gnome] 20/11/2012 17:23

harmonics - I would guess that it will be somewhere around the 520 (ish) lows from last October - have a look at the chart in the header.

[smicker] 20/11/2012 17:21

added some myself today

[a2584728] 20/11/2012 16:55

4000 more added.

[harmonics] 20/11/2012 16:48

I'm with you LG but where TF is the bottom?

[lord gnome] 20/11/2012 16:20

You don't want another RNS - isn't the last one doing enough damage to the share price!

This is now on my radar. The drop looks well overdone and I would like to bottom pick if I can. The yield now looks rather tasty and I don't see any danger to the dividend.

[rburtn] 20/11/2012 16:10

It would if in the other direction.

[rburtn] 20/11/2012 16:09

This seems to me to be the kind of drop which requires an RNS.

[harmonics] 20/11/2012 13:49

Falling knife

[jadeticl] 13/11/2012 14:05

I have identified so many good-buy targets recently that I have no unused money left. What a pity as this company is worth more that this share price

[a2584728] 08/11/2012 16:17

I think these are a definate buy and a target at this price, I have added today.

[deadly] 07/11/2012 15:22

Reaction to the IMS looks harsh; I'm looking to get back in.

The original boss has stepped back in:
Executive Chairman, John Morgan, has been appointed Chief Executive. The Group's Chief Executive, Paul Smith, has resigned

"Overall we continue to target major project and framework opportunities across the Group's market sectors. Our future visibility remains steady with the forward order book currently standing at GBP3.0bn with a further GBP0.7bn of projects at preferred bidder stage (compared with GBP3.4bn order book and GBP0.3bn of projects at preferred bidder stage at the start of 2012). In addition, in line with our strategy to increase our focus on regeneration, the regeneration pipeline has strengthened significantly to GBP2.1bn with a further GBP1.1bn of major schemes at preferred bidder stage (compared with a GBP1.8bn pipeline and GBP0.6bn of schemes at preferred developer stage at the start of 2012). Average net debt for the year to date was, as expected, consistent with that achieved for the first half of the year.

In summary, our underlying trading for the current year is expected to be slightly below the Board's previous expectations although the Group will benefit from the GBP7m gain made on the sale of our medical property investments this year. This gain will in part offset the GBP10m restructuring charge that will be incurred this year. Whilst we are cautious over the outlook for the Group in 2013, the medium-term prospects for the Group are improving with our increasing emphasis on regeneration, infrastructure and major long-term frameworks."

I have been buying bits and bobs of these for a while now, but while fundementals are very good, what would it take for them to move on with a bit more vigour?. Whats our chances of getting the nuclear contract? Awards must be about due.
