XPS moneyweek weekend news saying its about 6% dividend and cash rich so a no brainer. Better than being in the bank its a great return.

Agree Sphere, XPS is dull and not fashionable but should be fruitful. I just about kept XPS on my tracking list cos did well out of it last year - 100p to 140p in 6 months + 4.3p div. Sold when spread was something like 140/145p - felt like being robbed! Hopefully that institutional buying should ameliorate the lack of daily liquidity, meanwhile the fundamentals are cast iron, even in this market.

This stock makes you want to fall asleep, but some life of late with some whopping exchanges yesterday and another 1m today, but is that enough to make the unfashionable.....fashionable?

Opened small position last week at 113p. May add here.

That’s a good update in this environment. “Looking to the potential impact of COVID-19 on FY21 and beyond, the Group's underlying business remains resilient, with around 80% revenue being non-discretionary, recurring and received for essential services, with a high degree of visibility.” EDIT: No mention of dividend in there so presumably (with the points on strong cash collection) is this one of the few companies who will be maintaining the dividend? Horrible spread here through the morning 110-117 and very little interest at the moment. Boring slow company so not many fireworks expected here.

Epwin now back down to 63-65p level again. Another possible punt next week?

[sphere25] 24/4/2020 13:47

Gresham building a stake and another 498k bought today so further encouraging signs but we'll have to wait till early next week to see what the picture is. Only a small position here, like most of the trades of late. Still wary of the wider market having got ahead of itself.

Sssshhhhh, you might wake up the masses. Eerily quiet these forums. Remember years back it used to be a job in itself just trying to keep up with all the postings on the boards. The forums across numerous sites have clearly faded due to the likes of Twitter, but even still these boards are attracting no posts in months at a time. Highly unusual and a sign of the difficulty of markets, but also a rather bullish indicator. Taken long positions in a fair few of these eerie stock boards and they have motored.

Also took a position based upon that large volume. The lack of liquidity in XPS isn't ideal but the risk/reward at this level seems compelling enough.

[sphere25] 22/4/2020 13:51

Been watching this one. Resilient and forming a nice bottom. Also noteworthy due to the recent larger buying.

Held up remarkably well in this turmoil, despite other pension companies being hit.

[lord mandelbaum] 28/11/2019 09:14

A good "steady as she goes" HY results update. Happy to continue to hold and what a great return for anyone that bought following the haircut in June... feeling very smug ;- )

TU was OK. Delayed reaction?

[molatovkid] 31/10/2019 11:37

Been moving lately....joined the party myself

Bit of a drop late into the day. Has news leaked ahead of the TU tomorrow

Great time to top up before the next divi payment and also a rise to 140 in the next 3 months. The board now have the merger/acquisitions all now in hand and costs sorted for the extra time taken to onboard new staff and clients. Onwards to the next buy of another smaller company and more growth!!

[97peter] 17/8/2019 11:08

True port side. A few dips this week, but see XPS rising to around 128-132p price by ex divi date of 29 August. Then slow and steady to 142 by December time. A well run company and slowly getting over the acquisitions and mergers/ new business from majors like Kier, so should see 165 -175 levels again by April 2020. A steady share to have in your long term portfolio.

[portside1] 24/7/2019 10:35

have bought today looks a good run company

[97peter] 22/7/2019 19:05

Onwards and upwards if the buys adds in and we see the share price go over 135 before divi payment?

[rocketblast] 19/7/2019 16:21

Looks like a steady recovery which is the best way. Steady Eddy going up and Div will provide fuel for a blast off..

[97peter] 18/7/2019 18:01

The share price is starting its slow rise to 140p again, but should get here before divi payout?

[97peter] 10/7/2019 18:48

Hi, why no BB chat? At 110p and divi in August why all the glum faces and lack of good buys as a brilliant board and organisation!!

[97peter] 08/7/2019 19:49

Now at 11, plus a dividend date in August of 4.3p. So I see this share rising steady back to 160p by October / November.
