CFO just bought a whopping 98 shares. That'll steady the ship.

[rp19] 05/7/2018 13:17

Definitely an encouraging increase. As you say, have to see if it continues.

[jonwig] 05/7/2018 07:51

RP19 - is this a partial answer to your point?



Not enough - yet - to be labelled a trend, I suppose.

[rp19] 03/7/2018 18:14

I am interested here but in terms of your question, I don't think those targets will be met. To an extent, house builders are keen to restrict supply to heighten demand and retain pricing pressure.

[jonwig] 03/7/2018 17:53

NEXS needs volumes. This helps:

The UK’s struggling construction sector bounced back in June, with activity increasing at its fastest level in seven months thanks to a recovery in house building and commercial work.

Survey respondents said that house building remained the strongest category of work in the sector, but added that they had seen a rise in new commercial projects. Civil engineering work rose only slightly, they said.

Will the target of 300,000 new homes pa by 2020 be met?

Greenfield land is being developed at the fastest rate for 25 years as campaigners warn that a Government drive to release land for houses means the countryside is being “concreted over”.



Of course most of the activity is in the south-east. And who does the "picks and shovels" work?

Results gone down like a lead balloon shame

[yump] 30/5/2018 10:41

I'm not watching buyers and sellers, just the business.

[ronwilkes123] 30/5/2018 08:49

Market can soak up 150k buys and not move Yump. It needs rid of the seller imo

[yump] 30/5/2018 08:36

I think that drop was significantly overdone.

They're 15% ish ahead of last year, that's despite the delays from the weather.
So assuming a pro-rata increase for the full year and removing the £1.7mln exceptional (float costs) and perhaps add in a bit for delays from the first half...

[jonwig] 30/5/2018 08:07

They say nothing new about the TriConnex delays but these are down almost entirely to local authorities rather than company or customer. (If they were like Carillion, they'd have booked the revenue already ...)

I guess the market has already digested this news and will move forward from here.

It only has 38 mill shares in issue - why not blue

[ronwilkes123] 24/5/2018 16:01

Tipped high frequency of trades since 3

[ronwilkes123] 23/5/2018 19:32

Newer triconnex job ads talk of a rapidly expanding company

[ronwilkes123] 21/5/2018 08:39

Where are all the shares coming from to fill the buys. V strange share to watch.

[ronwilkes123] 18/5/2018 12:28

Again 25k buys yet no movement on a tightly held stock - suggests a seller. Anyone know anymore

[ronwilkes123] 16/5/2018 08:50

Down on sales of 2k are you kidding - buys of 13k didn't move the share price at all

[ronwilkes123] 11/5/2018 12:18

Doubt the 40k is a sell - looks like a late reported buy imo

[jonwig] 09/5/2018 06:58

The only new RNS I'd expect would be director dealing: two large transactions yesterday afternoon (200k-plus) might qualify.

[ronwilkes123] 08/5/2018 17:01

Volume 2.5% of company yet no rns ?

[ronwilkes123] 06/5/2018 08:25

A lot of buy volume on Friday Yump - looks promising that can't be denied

[yump] 05/5/2018 18:01

WTF ?
Calm down dear.

Optimist to pessimist and back again in a few weeks will send you to the bottle.
