S&P up 6% on back of stimulus package and fact that manufacturing data is better than expected.The S&P for now has regained the technically important 2350 level.This might not hold today but it does show what will happen when things start to stabilise re the virus,one hell of a short squeeze as money rushes to find a home.I suspect that the wave of selling is starting to dissipate.Worldwide,there are investors simply trying to time reentry points to equities.It's more than likely that most will miss the bottom by a country mile,me included.

Jug,
'Because people will start to live for today & not tomorrow.'

Judging by the massive amount of debt in this country, I think you'll find that particular attitude has existed for quite some time...

I think they should ask shareholders, for past dividends to be sent back to the company.

That cash can be used for directors pay

[smurfy2001] 24/3/2020 13:49

So no dividend !

[martyn9] 24/3/2020 13:43

Let's for all us hope this is under control in approx 3 months and a vacine well underway and tested.
There will always be a demand for housing and the likes of TW are still in a strong financial position.Get a grip some on here these will bounce back.

porchee, It was actually down to 3p in the last recession, But was in debt to the tune of 1 billion gbp at the time, What do you think will really happen when the uk starts to return to normality if worse case scenario the uk shuts down for say 3 months. People will go out & spend money & lots of it, Every pub restaurant,cafe & high street will be packed & demand for goods will come back, all those little jobs that people have put off in the past will get done, This lock down apart from illness & death could turn out to be Very good later down the line for the uk/world economy,Because people will start to live for today & not tomorrow. IMO the bad news is built into this share price now, any good news ie a fall in deaths or cases & this like most shares will go through the roof.

That is the number of direct employed 5,000 plus

It’s a myth not enough houses

Just use what we have in a sensible way.

Great management does not help if your buyers have gone and every built estate house is falling like a stone

NHS1 Very few companies in construction give there staff cars these days, Staff employed- you have copied that from google search, Plant not used will be returned, Safety inspections ? If sites are dormant there won't be any inspections required, Why do you try & find the most bizarre & random things to try & make a point. Lets for a moment look at the real facts, Uk not building anyway near targets & won't be for at least 10 years, If the country stops building for 3 months this will have catastrophic repercussions for the supply of new homes where demand will out strip supply for years & in my opinion will see house prices surge to levels we have not seen before, Although several industries are being temporarily shut down, with government helping with wages should secure the future of properly ran companies ( & I have said before I rate Tw management as being one of the very best in the ft100, If not the best) any companies that don't survive I am afraid that you obviously haven't learn't from the past & its tuff titty, Excluding the self employed whom I really feel sorry for.

What divi stocks did you buy out of interest pawsche? Hard to find ones that will definitely continue to pay the dividends!

[dr_smith] 24/3/2020 12:51

Pawsche. Iunderstand the need for income, if that is key, hope you get newco confirmation it is being paid regardless of CV as co's are still reviewing.
IMO

Just dumped my complete holding. I only hold TW as an income share and have moved the proceeds into some others that (a) are still paying the dividend, and (b) have more chance of recouping my capital losses.

No skin in the game now, so adios chaps and best of luck to you all.

[steeplejack] 24/3/2020 12:11

"Discounted".....A word in common usage throughout the trading floors of the world but rarely used on BBs.

[spcecks] 24/3/2020 11:55

I'm just going to hold and drip feed money in because it will recover.

[sr2day] 24/3/2020 11:45

if houses are not completed,whether it is subcontracted or not,revenue will be hit.so the future looks bleak.

[newbytothis] 24/3/2020 11:43

Yep...No skin in the game so not come here for an argument

[1 nhs] 24/3/2020 11:40

Head office staff.

Cars for site agents

Security

Safety inspections ( scaffold)

Plant hire

Employed staff. : 5,565 employees

[newbytothis] 24/3/2020 11:34

Bear in mind each site has only around 5 staff Everything else is contracted out

[onjohn] 24/3/2020 11:33

Sales of houses will slip

This will warn

[gaygay3] 24/3/2020 11:31

if house prices fall by 30% over the next 2years thousands of people in negative equity could happen let’s hope not maybe 15% if they drop 30% just think of the demand when things get better I will sit and wait and buy more on the drop

[sr2day] 24/3/2020 11:27

this will test 100p today.

[sikhthetech] 24/3/2020 11:27

Does anyone remember how much the provision was to redress following the leasehold scandal?

[wfl1970] 24/3/2020 11:25

Only a matter of time.. As said earlier.
