Must mean GS want to buy defense stocks on the cheap.

Goldman Sachs dowgraded US defence stocks today - predicting lower defence spending.

[wad collector] 13/1/2023 17:40

Hard to imagine that the US will reduce it's defence spending whoever is President. It is hardwired into the American psyche. They can't even reduce their civilian weapon spending even when children shoot teachers and psychotic people can buy machine guns.
I think they will keep spending....

Talk of defence spending freeze/cuts in USA won't be helping sentiment.

Sector weaker atm with the big rise in cyclical stocks YTD.

Bought in here last week.
Fundamentals look solid.

Good luck

30 years doing this now, where does all the time go, eh.

The comment related to what I see as a driving factor behind the share price in 2023.
If you see it differently, fair enough and good fortune.

Bought a small amount of CHG in this sector on a 2 year view.

Dividends are key to good investment strategy

[dondee] 05/1/2023 09:22

Sonny, dividends are here or there, so you obviously have not been share trading for many decades like some of us.
Read some good investing books and learn a few things.

[essentialinvestor] 04/1/2023 14:24

With respect the dividend is neither hete nor there, the key to 2023 is whether their large acquisition pays off.

[dondee] 04/1/2023 14:07

Less than 2.5 hours to go in order to secure dividend before it goes EX DIV.

Xd this week, but only 2.4p

Thanks Someuwin...patience required here but a very strong outlook for this company

[someuwin] 18/12/2022 21:06

Barclays Capital has updated its forecasts and repeated its positive stock recommendation for the defence contractor QinetiQ Group PLC (LSE:QQ.).

It cited recent M&A activity and material tax adjustments for the changes to its numbers.

The bank also repeated its "overweight" recommendation on QinetiQ's stock and has set a share price target of 465 pence.

Currently, the company's shares are valued at 350 pence, up 1.7% on the day, giving it a £2bn market capitalisation.

In a research note, Barclays explained that the changes to its forecasts were due to the completion of QinetiQ's acquisitions of Avantus and Air Affairs, as well as the disposal of its Space division...

Completion of Avantus announced and market reaction was to sell down. Quite surprised at that. Just have to be patient here.

[wad collector] 23/11/2022 13:46

Tipped in IC last week ,pointing out the currency tailwind with Avantus t/o ,think I might add some on recent weakness.

[grahamburn] 15/11/2022 12:28

erbullion. A one liner in the Market Report with a throwaway comment about a relatively small rise being the result of bid speculation doesn't really cut the mustard.

Just journalistic filling copy IMO.

[marvelman] 15/11/2022 11:24

Thanks erbullion. Perfect target for a US company with the £ so weak.

[erbullion] 15/11/2022 09:17

Today’s Times mentioned bid speculation

[essentialinvestor] 11/11/2022 18:40

Salford, none of us have a crystal ball. Perhaps you work for QQ.

When a PLC buys from a private equity holder
it's often PE that gets the better deal.

[ammons] 11/11/2022 18:28

Fears over what might be in the fiscal statement next week?

[salfordimp] 11/11/2022 17:31

Traders just don't understand QQ.
