Capita Share Price (CPI)

Capita is in its current mess because JL spent too much time dithering & wasted at least a couple of years ( which means we’re now still 2 years or so off being in profit instead of being in profit now)

I also have some sympathy for Stuart Morgan ( the previous IR guy) who we all, including myself, knocked for being really negative when in fact he was being realistic & could see from JLs inaction that the turn around was going to take much longer than the spin JL was spouting

S_KR. So, it is the government's fault that Capita has been such a $hit show for the past few years? Plenty of companies (including outsourcing firms) have managed to hold their own over the last few years, so I'm afraid your argument simply does not hold water. (I don't support this government, by the way.)

If my position is 'curious', yours is utterly bizarre.

Savage - not any stranger than you espousing Labour on a share board in which you’ve made clear you’ve currently no intention to buy?

RR... a defender of this failing Gov to the bitter end it seems... even when widespread evidence points to mass scale economic mismanagement of UK PLC, including knock on effects to CPI, of which he has huge holdings of. It seems you put CPI's failings down to the company itself but... then you proceed to go on and say they won't get better under Labour and may get worse?

So... How can it be that recent terrible past performance is squarely due to CPI itself... yet you say in future the bad performance will be down to a Lab Gov?...

Reminder: you also previously said "we might see a lot more 'insourcing', once Labour get into government. It is yet another risk factor for Capita."

It's a most curious position you're conveying here.

S_KR. You seem to have completely misunderstood what I have been saying, so let me put it in simple terms.

Capita have performed badly for the last 6 years (hence the current sp). They are, by most measures, a failing company. Things may not get better for Capita under a new government. Indeed, they may get even worse.
