Stagecoach Share Discussion Threads

[neilyb675] 08/12/2021 07:17

Martin Griffiths, Stagecoach Group Chief Executive, said: "We are pleased at the positive progress of the business as confidence in public transport returns and more customers use our bus, coach and tram services. "This has been achieved as a result of the fantastic commitment of our frontline employees and management teams, combined with our strong partnerships with national and local government, and supportive public policy and investment. "While the pace of recovery may vary, we are well-placed to deliver on the extensive opportunities beyond the pandemic and on the back of the COP26 climate change conference to attract people out of cars to more sustainable public transport. "In the first half of the financial year, we have delivered positive new contract wins, including key transport contracts for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. We are also progressing several investments to enhance our customer offer, as well as new ticketing initiatives to respond to post-pandemic lifestyles. "The Group maintains a solid financial position with investment grade credit ratings, substantial available liquidity and appropriate headroom under its debt facilities. We are also continuing to manage effectively the short-term operational challenges in the transport and logistics sector, to protect the future of our transport networks. "We continue to see a positive outlook for our bus, coach and tram services, whether as a standalone business or as part of a combined future group. Greener and smarter public transport is central to delivering government ambitions around decarbonisation, levelling up of communities, driving economic recovery, and securing better health outcomes for citizens."

From this mornings interim results :- Constructive discussions are continuing with National Express Group plc on a potential combination of both groups that would deliver strong value creation for both sets of shareholders

Stagecoach interim results due tomorrow. Not sure whether they'll be any update on merger talks as that subject might be embargoed until next week.

Well we have an extension (frustrating) but I guess this is a positive: “The Boards of Stagecoach and National Express continue to believe that the Potential Combination would be a strategically compelling proposition delivering strong value creation for both sets of shareholders”

Lol AI. Fingers crossed for something positive tomorrow - could tank if we don’t get it.
