Anyone any thoughts about how Balfour Beatty's recent profit warning may be representative of the building trade, and how it may effect Speedy, Ashtead and Lavendon? I've been thinking about buying SDY, but now I'm unsure? Away from the main index, shares of Balfour Beatty PLC slumped nearly 10% after the international infrastructure group warned its U.K. construction unit will deliver "significantly lower profits from operations for 2013" than management had anticipated in March. Any thoughts would be much appreciated..
Irony - a person who names himself after a failed company, coming onto a shares website to warn people about a company that has just announced it has hit its target, made profit and its shares have doubled in price in 12 months. I guess you will also deny being a bitter ex employee who got found out for being useless (even though you probably thought that you were the dogs danglers)?? Haven’t you noticed how things have improved since some of the dead wood has been removed Mr BestBuy?
More problems here. They are yet again cutting jobs. Area managers have all had to re apply for their jobs. I am going to guess that only the nodding donkeys will survive while the cream will get redeployed to the up and coming competition. However in fairness I am unsure if there were any cream left having released most talent over the last few years. Word of warning to you depot managers soon to be service managers. BE PREPARED.
sorry wrong board
the shares just hit 86p, is the equity buyout rumours driving this or the pending dividend?
These are now entering Ashtead and Lavendon territory, can see a massive boom past £1 in these now IMHO, see also two page spread in Share Magazine on the share gains forecast in Speedy, yield and price and analysis on strategy.
big trade at 48p....
Small speedy hire article in the times (tempus) basically saying that there are tentative signs that construction industry starting to move and should help speedy......hopefully might show in the next results. I agree with infoexchange the price seems to have good support and I like him are in for the long haul another contract win or two like the national grid one and we may be motoring. All the best .....
Share price has held its own this week despite general gloom and doom in the markets, plus decent news on the results. I'm in here for the longer haul, but I think anyone looking to buy at the moment might just time it right.
Results due on Wednesday. No news on public sources for days. Soaring price holding onto gains in bearish market. Buys ahead of sells. Who'd short this on a Friday?
Next results or the ones after that, twojays? 60p on the next results seems a bit wishful. I'm not much interested in sub-100p prices; bought at 19p and am in this for the longer haul. Today's slippage is not a surprise. Whether profit-taking, market sentiment or whatever, it's still a recovery stock. Slow and steady might win back greater, more powerful support with better investor benefits than anything too speedy. kibu
Speedy has been rising speedily in last 2 weeks. 50p now broken. Also buy signal in last weeks Share Magazine.
continuose rise again.........
Last weeks budget and associated government statements about building, infrastructure spending will boost Speedy. (Budget snippet : Infrastructure spending to be boosted by £3billion in 2015/16) This company is in the right business area & very well managed, a combination of the two will surely propel its share price over the next few years. Once we get past 50p there is little to stop the continued rise, todays RNS is the first step.
