I suppose any news is good as it reduces uncertainty.

I suppose we want to see the strategy gain traction.

[sandy12345] 02/2/2012 07:21

looks good to me!

With bad news, the statement is usually delayed, here it is the opposite. Perhaps the directors heard a rumour of someone interested in the company, so getting the ims out earlier will push the price up. Just my opinion.

Late trade was a UT (i.e. crossed in auction).

[red army] 01/2/2012 18:10

There is almost as much guessing as on the AEX thread.

[valedo] 01/2/2012 16:48

a very confident close was it not? no worries

[honiton] 01/2/2012 16:33

i would take it at face value.

[valedo] 01/2/2012 16:33

if it was bad news they would have just announced it. they probably had a number of enquiries so realised they hadn't released the date!!

[zeuseq] 01/2/2012 16:04

Why would it be such short notice?..worried some news may leak?...rights issue?, can't be a takeover otherwise they would of said today they had received a very preliminary approach,..sp has been steadily rising over last wk or two so fingers X.

The questions is, is it likely to be bad news with such short notice, share price seems unperturbed.

[valedo] 01/2/2012 15:59

many co's don't give a date for IMS, so I don't think thats a cause for speculation. Lets hope for some good indicators, its been a long wait.

[owenski] 01/2/2012 15:55

I'm in at 37, so if its a dud I wont get burned too much, but if ok, think the catalyst to break 40 will occur and if so I'll take some more. I think it'll be ok, fingers x'd

A week earlier than in 2011 and incredibly short notice for an IMS notification. Less than 24 hours if released tomorrow am.

The 2012 Financial Calendar on their web-site is blank and gives no dates whatsoever for the coming year.Curious.



Why such short notice, one wonders.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

UTG's thoughts on the student numbers. The 13.7% increase in non-EU international student numbers should continue to benefit iQ's London bias.

"Yesterday, UCAS announced final student application numbers for the 2012/13 academic year; the first year in which higher tuition fees take effect. The results confirmed a 7.4% drop in applications and were firmly in line with UNITE's previously announced expectations of a 5-10% fall.

...

At this level, demand for university places still outstrips supply by approximately 32% and means that more than 156,000 students applying to study in 2012 will fail to secure a place. Consequently we do not expect the decline in applications to translate into a reduction in actual student numbers. Based on our current reservations for 2012/13, which are in line with the same point in 2011, we remain confident of achieving rental growth of 3-4% for the year.

Within the overall numbers, applications from non-EU students, a key customer segment for UNITE, increased by 13.7%, demonstrating the continued appeal of UK Universities overseas. UNITE heavily over-indexes international students, particularly in its London portfolio, and this continuing trend supports the Group's business model and customer acquisition strategy."

Possibly.

I was hoping for 70 -m 75p leading up to the Olympics.

[owenski] 30/1/2012 16:05

Would imagine that this would be the bigger picture that Laxey was looking at.

Yep worth a read that, QP.

"Rebecca Worthington, Finance Director at Quintain Estates and Development plc, said: "Greenwich Peninsula has the potential to be London's most exciting new district, with a world class entertainment venue and a highly sustainable business quarter reachable within minutes from your own front door. We are delighted to have worked with our partners to unlock the residential element of the scheme and look forward to starting the construction of new homes with unbeatable views of the Canary Wharf skyline later this year."

The Greenwich Peninsula area is fast establishing itself as a vibrant and exciting new part of London. It is already home to premier entertainment venue the O2 Arena and Greenwich Council's Digital Enterprise Greenwich Centre, next door to the cutting edge digital institution, Ravensbourne.

Work is also imminent on London's first cruise liner terminal on the west side of the Peninsula and the Emirates Airline cable car link, connecting Greenwich Peninsula with the Royal Docks, is due to open this summer.

Last week, the Mayor announced that he intends to deliver a new road tunnel between Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown in the Royal Docks, which could potentially move 2,400 vehicles an hour in each direction under the river."

Seems as if its building up to do 40p

iQ should have done very well in 2011 and is well placed in 2012 as well.

"Strong demand and undersupply will see student accommodation remain one of the UK's best property investments, according to the latest Knight Frank Student Property Report.

This annual update on the student property market shows that total returns almost doubled in London to 15.1% in September 2011, taking average total returns to 11.5%."
