Surely this seems like a very good buy may even fall a bit more in the next day or so long term looks good and a steal at this price
From an average profit of 177m over 4 years from 2011-2008. to a loss of 23m in 2012...and borrowings averaging 87 mil for the same 4 year period to borrowings of 489 m in 2012!...quite frankly the fudementals beg question or do they. Whilst I want in to the construction industry and BBY was on my watch list for 210-215 enty I am not sure I would be interested in anybodys genuine thoughts on this
We will probably see the 220 p support level tested before any significant gap -fill / bounce , which will come in due course. Bought @ 235 p and @ 226.0 p ---- GLA. ( Ta-trade get back over to IMG , you're needed there in case that 200 p door is opened (lol). ).
Hi Gs, thanks, a good link. I topped up yesterday, Balfour Beatty are a worldwide company, they up and down, they will get over this in due course, plus a good income play. Good luck all
If the 14.1p dividend is safe, then this stock is a recovery play as well as a very nice income. Thoughts?
Two late buys of more than 1 mio shares will hopefully underpin the 2.30 level so that tomorrow we can see a small retrace.
Agree with you and did the same. Had previously sold my small shareholding in Nov 2013.
Looks oversold on the profit reduction. I bought more for the shares isa today
I bought two tranches of bby this morning and have taken a quick profit on one and will hold the other tranche. You haven't graced the pmo bb with your presence for a very long time so I assumed you had sold up there. Just going to get my lunch. Bye for now.
Should have put your money in PMO..
They don't see you these days on the rsa bb after the very successful rights issue there. I think you were pencilling in something like 60p there? The cheek of you - get back to your pfd and your Birds brandy flavoured sauce which Tesco can't even get shot of for 10p a pack.
Let's now wait and see how low it goes. In fact, you may find the loss seen today should have happened prior to the profit warning!!!
Might have known Hovis boy would be on here today and surprised he hasn't given it the old "drawing the mugs in" cliche he usually gives at times like this. Was asked by rbrand if I held this a while back and I said no, never. Have been watching this share and the bb for a while and like mould bought in today and am up at the moment. Some of the posts on this bb very recently obviously contained a lot of useful insight into the fall that was to come today but the ceo is out and there are loads of tesco holders and holders of other shares will be thinking if only we could have had some swift action like that and "A strategic review has led the Group to evaluate options for the possible sale of Parsons Brinckerhoff, conditional on providing attractive shareholder value." Very proactive response to current situation from this company.
I bought in at 230p so am happy :)
In fact, while you were waiting for your sub £2, this went to over £3.
Westhouse Securities 06/05 Resumes Neutral Neutral 302.00p 302.00p
Well your still waiting for your sub £2 from last year.
Think a comparism with Taylor wimpey would be more appropriate, considering the sector in which BB operates. How low will this go?
Read the rns on this page, profits drop and chief quits/sacked etc
