Amec Share Price (AMEC)

I agree, i didnt think a great deal of the Interim Statement. I guess that after such good growth the last final year statement was probably seen as a potential problem that could have become worse. The interim statement, whilst short and simple does at least identify that they are on target for 2015 and that there will be some form of growth this year....

a surprising good rise (imho) on the back of that statement !

Nice rise today during the afternoon 2.46%. Hopefully this will continue not only tomorow but also post results.

Interim Management Statement due on Thursday. Need to see not only some growth but also some forward statements making it clearer of the growth targeted this year. These two key parts of information should lead to good rises. Of course if they are falling behind....... Oh dear that wont be good!

I am in the same boat. I cant see anything moving these until there is material progress which i hope will come at their first quatre announcement. Of course only time will tell.
