Capita Share Chat (CPI)

@SavageKeyboard 'I have always said I'm just an average working person here looking for a sound investment... '

I hate to break it to your SavageOne - but based on your pathetic investment holding in BT...you're not 'average...', you're well below average...!

Keep pluckin' away at your measly investment in BT. I too an am investor in BT. In fact, I hold a serious invesment in BT - it's hardly an exciting share, but it pays a decent dividend. Unlike you, I don't spout off about the BT share price on the Capita board, or elsewhere for that matter. Therefore, SavagePuss, my advice to you is: Get a life!

Presently roughly 300,000 average 17.70 across the Sipp/ISA. The research showed a new board, a CEO good track record, selling off some profitable services at the best time, cash on the balance sheet, reducing debt, renewed contracts, reducing overheads, and investing in a new business model. That takes time but seems ahead of schedule on the new platform model. Overall good Investment happy with it holding for a while , maybe a dividend than it becomes long term hold.

And the winner is today NoFear with the closest guess on the UT that is for today at 18.78p with 532,319 on the buy side as seen on ADVFN.

AimMaster2018 called at 19.08p

NoFear called it at 18.74p

Cheers 😍

Hi AimMaster2018

Although I'm noticing as we get near into the close some large genuine sell transactions coming through on the ADVFN volumes run of the Mill, these are probably those day traders that I said last week would be looking to profit on a 1 penny rise.

I guess a few thousands quick profit gained since last 11th September drop to near 17.50p has now brought out those that bought into those lows.

Anyhow, better they go out now and let cpi get on with it. I could bet they're part of the shorting gang that have been hedging their doomed short positions aka Millennium and Qube gangs.

4k Savage. I have had a tremendously good laugh at the left wing nutter frequenting this board.

GoCPI😘

JG - I'm looking at tomorrow or the day after or even next week, TBH - I'll leave that to the dour penny-pinchers like FearFul. I'm more focused on what these rates cuts can do to the economy 6 months our or longer, and what they can do for companies like ours that are leveraged to economic growth.

Historically speaking, the start of a rate cut cycle feeds into the economy about 6 months out. And that is minimum timeframe that any serious stock multi-bag desiring investor should look out for, IMO. Given the US markets are near all-time highs now, I won't be surprised to see a 5 to 10% draw-down in that market between now and December, but its what happens as we roll into 2025 that I'm more concerned though.

GL, however you play this.

Not a great reaction in the US, I guess their indices are so high anyway. The small cap Russell was up 2 % at one point, finished flat.

Not expecting anything positive tomorrow.

As that's exactly what is needed from the donkeys at the BOE MPC...we'll see tomorrow.

Hi JG68

Although I'm keeping a track on the daily short activity amounts, unfortunately I cannot forsee their ever increasing short position which I'm yet to understand to whose benefit since its not really bringing cpi down as one would expect. Also, remember my post from the 16th September.

"The overall volumes seen insofar today is around 720,000 shares with the lowest share price put out for shorting purposes placed at 18.381p and with the highest set at 18.426p"

Could it be that increase of 0.09% seen today the amount of 720,000 in overall shares used to short cpi on Monday?

The cut off to report it publicly to the FCA is by 15:30 if a shorter indeed wants to see it appear for today on the short tracker.

So, I sincerely believe that 0.09% increase has already been dealt in the market and that's why today I reported less than 200,000 being seen used for shorting purposes.

The share price wouldn't have held today if 700,000 were dropped on cpi using long sequences of AT buy and Sell trades with a very few genuine [O] trades in between those AT.

Just because its showing an increase today, doesn't mean it is yet to be put to use.

As far I understand it, today was the last of the left over since yesterday aprox 700,000 were put to use.

Not sure what people are expecting but in the last six months this has risen more than 36%, hardly surprising it’s taken a bit of a breather, established a new level and although flattish since end of July is still up over that period

Nofear

Looks like this is being actively shorted imo, millenium ( dormant for some time) now increasing again, resulting in hundreds of those AT trades all at specific points on the chart.

Another really positive RNS ie contract on better margin is required to shut them up

@Elphi - we will continue to be dead wood until we get more news.

A big contract win would be nice ... A small contract win would be nice ... Any contract win would be nice!

An new II taking a stake would be good .....

Without news .... We will be drifting until March 2025!

Maybe tomorrow

We need some🪄magic to move this old tired out dog.

Never seen it so stuck. The Dow and every other share apart from Thg has somehow made a reasonable move upwards, but not cpi. Just when....just when?

Very very little shorts activity today.

The overall figure insofar is about 160,000 with the lowest price triggered at 18.511p and the highest at 18.682p.

So, its been okay for now. There's hardly any shorting today

Great stuff

JG68

US opens we rise, simple.

US opens we fall, simple.

True 🙂.. very true

With a very tight spread I wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the LSE buy/sell stats they are wrong at the best of times.

Ask 18.88p

Bid 18.54p

Morning everyone.

Capita seen opening spread that will kick off the day trading.

The Ask price at 16.08p

The Bid price at 19.56p

Followed by

Ask at 19p

Bid at 18.52p

Yes, very odd Ask prices

Hi Shorty39

Its very obvious that the cpi share price is getting played around those shorters high and low ranges of share prices

that I've earlier mentioned. They've got the old cpi dog by its bolllocks and its really pathetic imho.

Nofear

I guess we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to sell our trading shares for a quick profit. Let’s see what happens the rest of this week.

Cheers.

Hi Shorty39

Just a quick update on the shorts activity.

Unfortunately they're still active even today but on a smaller scale than previously seen back on the 11th September.

Anyhow, the AT gang of traders have been very busy today. However, nothing much than hundreds of Buy and Sell AT transactions being fired off in small sequential batches.

The overall volumes seen insofar today is around 720,000 shares with the lowest share price put out for shorting purposes placed at 18.381p and with the highest set at 18.426p

"Wouldn't assume a 50 base point cut will be seen as good for stocks, the US are more likely to see that as a red flag for the economy hence a large cut."

Nope. it's not really a red flag for the economy. Real interest rates (net of inflation) in the US are at a historically high level and isn't good for delivering their maximum employment mandate (which our useless BOE doesn't). Whilst unemployment rates are again historically low at this time, a sustained period of high interest rates could tip the scales in the other direction and I think that the fed recognises this and will cut 50 bps on Wednesday. The CME Fed watch probability for a 50 bps cut is today > 60%, up from a 50-50 probability late last week.

They'll want to give a large cut and settle back to a 25bps cut in the next 2 meetings this year. I'm not sure if the donkeys at the BOE have the ba*lls to cut this week, but maybe if they see the Fed cut 50 bps, they may go down the 25 bps cut route on Thursday - the UK economy desperately needs this to give the economy a bit more boost going into 2025. That's good for CPI.

@JG Probably-Id certainly be waiting until after the rate cut for maximum feel good factor

As regards the rate cut, I'm expecting .25, the FED will take time to move from cautious mode I believe.

I'm not expecting an RSN but if there is one its likely to be positive, sale or contract win. The good thing now is no pressure to sell but if the price is right why not?

@Trisor. If Capita are to announce another RNS, it will most likely be towards the end of September.

@JG68 The market is demanding a .25 to .50% rate cut. The is good for corporates, businesses and consumers with any levels of debt. An interest rate reduction will free up cash flow in the US. When that happens markets move up. I know of several investors who have waited on the sidelines until interest rates fall and they re-enter the sharemarket. At the moment they prefer to hold funds in fixed interest deposits. It won't be dull mid-late this week. Of course it's all subject to other external events - the world is pretty volatile at the moment! Anyway, I'll take another look between late this week and Monday. Time will tell if JG or JO is right...

I'm out at a spike back to 40p. Averaging 20p with 3 million shares.

Will then invest in a gofundme for Savage's stunning wife, who must need some form of relief from his incessant attention seeking.

My prospects of getting a girl friend are indeed equal to 0%... Because I have a stunning wife!

Though throwing insults may make you feel big and clever they do not change the fact CPI continues to perform very poorly.

Thank you triple H very kind.

What price you looking for here?

Not as far away as your prospects of getting a girl friend Savage.

"Hi Mr Keyboard, what do you like to do in your spare time?"

Still seems a long way off from £1 here... 🤔

How SEC mobile phones can signal an imminent stock price drop.

Research tracking mobile data shows how some corporate insiders avoided losses by selling around the time regulatory staff visited.

Mobile phone location data has linked site visits by US securities watchdogs to the headquarters of companies with measurable drops in their share prices - even when no enforcement action is taken

When insiders sold shares right around a non-public visit by staff from the Securities and Exchange Commission, they avoided average losses of 4.9 per cent in the three months after the visit, according to a study led by researchers at four Midwestern universities.

By matching commercially available data with share price moves, the study offers a window into the secretive world of securities enforcement beyond publicly announced cases. It also raises questions about the rules around insider trading.

"Maybe we should be thinking about what the rules are when the SEC shows up,' said Marcus Painter, assistant professor of finance at Saint Louis University and one of the authors.

The research used geolocation data to identify mobile phones that spent significant amounts of time at the SEC's various offices around the country. They then tracked those phones to corporate headquarters around the world in the 12-month period right before Covid-19 lockdowns led to extensive working from home.

The data did not distinguish between phones belonging to inspection staff, who make routine site visits and conduct "sweeps" that target areas of concern at multiple businesses, and the enforcement division, which builds cases against specific companies, Painter said. But 84 per cent of the visits were to groups that have never disclosed being under investigation.

The SEC declined to comment on the study.

Share prices across the board were 1.94 per cent lower than the broader market in the three months after the SEC visit. But the falls at companies where insiders sold stock right around the visit were significantly larger than those where they did not.

The data does not show why the share prices dropped, but Painter said the researchers have several hypotheses: the SEC visits may have distracted staff and management, or news of the visit may have leaked, leading investors to downgrade the stock.

The insider-selling data also highlighted an interesting contrast among companies. Overall, the researchers found that insiders were 16 per cent less likely to sell in the two weeks surrounding an SEC device visit, and the chilling effect was even stronger at groups where

the visit was followed by an enforcement action. But companies where insiders did sell saw much larger share price drops.

"We are interpreting it as [most companies thinking] 'the watchdogs are here, we had better be on our best behaviour','" Painter said.

"So basically you talked at the poor woman for 10 minutes, she didn’t get a word in and you learnt nothing. Lol … sorry, shouldn’t laugh"

I'm glad I make you laugh Capitalizer. I've always been known as the clown in my family but everyone loved me to bits.

I've always managed to turn a sour day into a happy for most people.

But, it wasn't a fruitless conversation with Helen Parris.

I did remind her who I was and my investment position in Capita which is different from the one that I've disclosed publicly in this cpi forum. Which one is the correct one and which one is not is of course for me a secret not to be told and divulged.

The take away in the end is, she's aware that I'm watching her back and needs not to forget her very important role in the IR department at Capita.

Take Care and Have a great weekend😎

Correction

*Distinctive

I fired in another question to try to get a more *distinctive answer that I was hoping to get on the earlier question.

Yes , I am definitely an RNS junkie! To me it seems to be the only thing that jerks this SP into action, although often not for long. The rest is hype and ramp, along with a smattering of pearls.

On boards like this, a lot of people have become ‘RNS junkies’, you don’t want unnecessary issues which will devalue the purpose, DYOR and let it work out, very little in investing is ‘instant’, if you need that fix go and have a look at Hemo or HE1, that’ll give you your adrenaline rush!

I don’t think an RNS is going to make much difference unless it’s for a massive contract win.

We need Dividends + FCF or an announcement (which I think could come with the December update) that that the above will need be restarted in 2025

US stock gains later today should see to it that CPI closes today a little up from current SP.

This share is a case of, 'Protruding Nails will be Hammered', until such time an RNS is issued by the management....

Okey Dokey

Yes that is my understanding as well. A gentleman's agreement!

Computer history is one of my specialist subjects!

@simplies I heard (many years ago during my degree) that xerox did a deal to allow Jobs access to their GUI research if he stayed clear of the copier market. Not sure if that’s true, or just something my lecturer made up. Anyone with any passing interest in the history of the modern GUI should read up about Xerox’s Palo Alto Research Center, I find it incredible how much innovation came out of their research, they should of been up there with the likes of apple and Microsoft. But all a bit irrelevant to CPI sorry.

Okey -Dokey

Fair statement, However Xerox did not have a commercial offering, the meeting that Jobs attended was not a selling of products but of services and technology! Its unclear if money changed hands!

Saying that why didn’t Xerox do something with the technology? Such a pity!

@trenners

“before they mimicked the Apple UI to create Windows”

But apple (Jobs) got most of his early GUI ideas from xerox, so not a good example.

The overall biggest amount used to short cpi today has been at around 14:30 where those AT sell transactions grouped together to make a figure of 749,420 and dealt at 17.961p with 2.2048% being the lender daily rate charged to the borrower. This information has been extracted from my interactive brokers pro account under the cpi short selling section of the I.I. workstation.

That's an amazing turnaround AimMaster2018

Any idea what exactly reset the huge drop where it bounced off 39,999 before the steady almost on steroids and what not back to 40,800? Any info from the Dow expert self taught AimMaster2018?

At least we know that cpi will most definitely reverse all that it lost at least back to 18.20p for starters first thing at the opening tomorrow.

Anybody want to put a bet at what price will cpi be opening up for tomorrow? Anyone!!🙃

Good Evening AimMaster2018

I know that the Dow Jones has always interested you and you probably have spread bet it buying low and sell really high making yourself easy money even more easy than with trading stock.

I used to take a daily roll over bet with the wall street Dow jones index when I was with Ig index and loved the big drops and ride the wave all way back up ready to cash out before she reversed all way down and up again. That's where I would get that adrenaline rush.

Its the only place on the stock market that can make you or break you if you place your bets too big and too far soon before the drop or the rebound. I used to love it seeing all that blue as my bet was adding more value ready for closing it off. I wasn't never bothered to leave money on the table as with the Dow you should never be too greedy or she'll bite back at the speed of sound and all suddenly she would put hundreds if not thousands in the red. So, that's where the big money is imho. Its where all the action begins from in the USA.

In all cpi got wacked with 2,428,393 shared or about £430k worth of shares if closed off at 17.70p.

They obstante love to short cpi because is safe as houses and even just a few pennies in their favour is big enough to cash in. If you think that I easily did a few thousands buying cpi low and selling for a 2pence rise, then you can imagine the money the shorter will easily do with cpi and on demand since they can afford to so.

So, if they borrowed let's say

2,500,000 shares at 19.30p and bought it back at 17.70p, then that's about a 1.6p gain for the shorter and potentially upto £40k profit minus the lender borrowing rate costs which for today was at 2.2048%, whilst yesterday was slightly higher at about 2.28% charged on a daily basis.

Once they've finished with shorting the stock it would then promptly be returned to the lender minus the borrowing fee due to the lender for the period lent out.

If you do this small shorting runs often enough, then you can appreciate that eventually it all builds up a nice bag of loads of money. Sleep,eat and repeat.

Don't forget that shorters are never going to be in a hurry to let the FCA that they've returned the borrowed cpi shares adding more insult to the already bloody nose cpi got today.

That's the life of a retail investor at the mercy of the big wigs city boys and hedge funds alike. PureScum

US on free fall naaaaa wayyyyyyy ! Look at nasdaq imho

But please feel free to correct me if I stated something that's totally incorrect and I shall apologise to everyone for stating any incorrect information about the 'new' not seen since that last May 2024 0.04% Millennium short position.

Anyhow, these are approximate times and share price when cpi got short activity executed as seen in my Interactive Brokers pro account in their short selling section of the platform under Capita plc. The amounts quoted are not necessarily the figures that would have been shown on the trade volumes counter, but as you might not know, the shorters don't want you to know the actual overall figure executed at their set price. They will use those AT sell trades which are part of that figure when all put together. So, that's why we end like today with a bucket load of AT trades because they want to hide their dirty shorting practices. Always be aware of those AT trades specially if they're fired off in many sequences. That's a shorter in full action till they've ran out of ammo or shares that have been lent out to them.

Anyhow these are the amounts seen:

At 8:15 time 144,682 @17.80p

At 8:30 time 34,002 @17.796p

At 11:30 time 61,585 @17.838p

At 12:30 time 162,006 @17.90p

At 13:00 time 304,649 @17.886p

The above figures make in total 2,428,393 shares used by the borrower to short cpi at the given share prices as and when they drop at those prices all those small AT trades would have been bought up by the opposite parties going long.

That's the perfect example of having a guest at our dinner tables that were not invited and welcome themselves as if it was their own home albeit for a short period. But unfortunately they tend to overstay their welcome. Scum of the earth imho.

At 14:00 time 765,518 @17.811p

At 14:30 time 339,823 @17.8p

At 15:00 time 113,580 @17.705p

At 15:30 time 320,378 @17.7703p

At 16:00 time 182,678 @ 17.674p

Don't miss this spotlight on how VR is helping firefighters prepare for #ClimateChange challenges in this recent Sky News article by Victoria Seabrook 👇 

 

At Capita’s The Fire Service College in Gloucestershire, we are constantly innovating to provide the best-in-class training to the next generation of firefighters.

 

The use of #VR within firefighting training is more environmentally friendly and sustainable compared to training with live fires and it's particularly useful for those that are rare, and hard to recreate in training, such as fires in forests, ships or planes.

 

We value our partnerships with companies like FLAIM Systems, RiVR and HTC VIVE to create the most immersive and realistic training experience possible using VR #technology.

Trisor - I quoted the 2024 H1 CPI results and not the 2023 as you appear to be claiming. Just more lies and ramping from you and your kin... Do you not realise that it makes you look foolish when you make bold claims and are consistently proven incorrect? Not to mention that you've never posted any hard evidence which backs up your view that CPI is going to motor upwards...

@Savage - just received my BT dividend and I've used it to add more CPI at these bargain basement prices.

I've been reducing BT over the summer as it's highly unionised and that's going to spell BIG trouble for management when all those militant telecom workers get enhanced union rights ....

Still time to cash in that BT profit (before she returns to £1.10) and join CPI 😉

No you have not keyboard. You provided a list of statements / figures from the 2023 accounts, proceeded to interpret them wrong and then told us Your opinions on what would actually happen. Ofcourse you are entitled to your opinion, but you have provided no meaningful evidence whatsoever

'but vital organs have been sold and the patient is still in intensive care'

For as long that isn't the brains behind the running of Capita being affected, all of the 'body' can be eventually replaced with given time even the ones that according to your metaphor analysis have been sold and put Capita in an intensive unit. For as long as AH is in charge of the 'surgery' team, nothing will come to harm to Capita vital organs and the brains behind the running of the company body.

Now, please get back into your operating theatre 'blues or Scrubs' and attend other more needing patients Doctor SKR🧑‍⚕️

Trisor - I've provided plenty of evidence on why CPI's next results are likely to fall short of expectations and lets be clear here, the expectations are for a low to mid % Revenue reduction. Sale of C1 offers support and so the CPI patient is not placed in a coma... but vital organs have been sold and the patient is still in intensive care, probably until 2025 H1 results which could also be a rather poor showing too.

I guess that nobody would ever ask you for your opinion if you were meant to be part of a treasure trove hunt and most likely you would be left out of the sharing portion from the hidden treasure as all the others gave their somewhat best possible opinion in how to find that well hidden treasure trove.

You see Broomtree, whether you are part of a group as an anonymous shareholder or actually part of a shareholders syndicate, when there's more heads trying to work out a plan that will help all succeed in getting a winning outcome for the overall benefit of the team, that's where you most likely wouldn't be benefiting as you're making yourself look as not wanting to be part of neither of the two types. So, you prefer to walk alone then be part of either of those two types of shareholder above mentioned.

But, you're free to follow your own path, but please don't come and sit on our paths with your slur😉

Kipper - indeed I do, along with good Reds and fine Malts but they have nothing to do with my investment processes; in fact wrapped in a manipulation waffle, they tend to give indigestion!

Geezuz - I'm convinced that debate last night marked the beginning of the end for the Orange baboon and the dog/cat/(other pet) eating by Haitian immigrants conspiracies promoted by the utterly despicable MAGA numpties across the pond.

Expexting above 18s this afternoon imho

The prestigious CapeBPO Awards are taking place this October and we are excited to be joining this years’ event once again. 

 

A record 38 colleagues in South Africa have entered the prestigious awards and the teams were recently treated to a visit from a local sporting legend, Ambassador and legendary cricketer, JP Duminy, to celebrate their efforts.  

 

We can’t wait to find out this week which entries have been shortlisted. Wishing each and every one of our colleagues good luck!

 

#CreatingBetterOutcomes #OperationalExcellence #CXM #CustomerExperience

NF, i think everyone & their cat now wants and waits for an announcement on a contract win. Perhaps something we would not have won without the steps implimented by AH. This would be a first sign that his strategy is going to work. The deafening sound of baited breath and chewing down of the nails*.

It's a bit like Gareth Southgate. There is the time to 'talk a good game', and a time to perform with results. Am sure, given patience and time, AH will have Capita lifting the World Cup....

* other opinions are available!

There's seems to be another attempt on its way to bring the cpi share price further down then 18p.

Its obvious from the amost 1/2 million of AT sells trades plus 1 single 150,000 sell trade making up an overall amount of about 750,000 sells volumes trades that came through minutes after trading kicked off. Anyhow, the positive take away is that those penny pinchers were waiting on the sidelines for their assumingly 18p target price buy entries which is now evident as with two buy trades have shown up on the trade volumes reports.

1 x 90,000 @ 18.10p

1 x 100,000 @ 18.137p

Come on you...

Get your boots 👢 👢 filled up and grab a bargain you penny pinchers.

Show us your money💰 .

What 'R' You Waiting For?😉

Good Morning Kipper9

Hope you're well.

Nothing coming through from the Rbc brokers. They're yet to update their last 20th August Reiterate tp 22p rating. I'm checking it everyday, but nothing. I'm wondering if that's it is for now from them until another major change get announced from Capita. Fingers crossed cpi get away from these low 18s. Take care all guys.

🤞🙂💪🏻

Rewinding to where we were before c1 disposal.

We know already that there will be a cash outflow of 70-90 mill this fy 24.

We know that many of the exceptionals which will result in that outflow are non recurring.

So given that revenues will be lower this fy and there will be cash outflows purely on an operational basis, the fy results aren't going to be good, definitely not stonking!!

This assumes the c1 monies are used for debt reduction and growth.

Imo the outlook statement next March after a few months of the new year will be crucial.

At some point the market will have to start forward looking, but CPI it's simply not yet.

Cheers, have it in my diary now badger

Cully

Yes agree numbers are lower than I expected. However AH tends to under promise and over deliver. The complete opposite to Jon!

Things appear to be moving at a fast pace, however its difficult to trace all the changes!

The market always over reacts! (Good are bad)

I believe the changes when they come will be faster and better than anyone expects!

THat projected FCF figure is still a massive improvement over the negative FCF we've been seeing since forever at CPI (not FCF).. ;-)

@culley - these are FCF projections from the sell-side and these are after the increased Capex in 2024/25 as some of the cost savings is used on IT Capex to better our offerings. THat projected FCF figure is still a massive improvement over the negative FCF we've been seeing since forever at FCF. The upside to those numbers is 1. either Pablo fleshing more cash savings from the business and 2. improved revenues boosting FCF. It's point 2 that will drive CPI sustainably higher above the 30s, IMO. More clarity will be had from the December update and more importantly the FY 24 results in March.

'Its a game of chess at the moment!', And the Sicilian defence is already in position.

Trisor

Some of the management changes are already starting to take place. Starting to look very positive!

Its a game of chess at the moment!

Here's an article on how call centres are develloping using AI....

https://www.uctoday.com/unified-communications/the-future-is-here-whats-next-for-ai-in-contact-centres-conversant/

Simpiles, my thoughts too.

The unweighted sales pipeline for 2025 as detailed in the 1H 24 update at £5.7b versus £3.6b at 1H 23 was certainly of note, i.e. addressable market for CPI new/existing offerings is increasing which is a good indicator AH’s strategy is starting to unfold. The executive team have many balls to juggle to fully execute on overall strategy although they’re already making impressive progress & at speed.

Simpiles stated:

"I still feel we are being manipulated, we need to break free."

What does this even mean? 🤣

It's about as coherent as 'Brexit means Brexit' or as logical as appointing a minister for common sense, one whom has no sense in common! 🤣

No quality evidence put forwards here to support a positive case for CPI whatsoever... just a really bizarre set of emotive words, which do not have any logic underpinning the opinion being conveyed.

It's as though this discussion board is an echo chamber filled up with members of a 'pro CPI cult' who post self-reassuring and self-motivating words...

and anyone who dares to have the hard evidence suggesting otherwise becomes labelled & mocked as being either a paid poster or is part of the conspiracy to push the price down.

A disease the mind has deep roots on this board!

Everyone on here has lost the ability to examine the available evidence on CPI objectively.

I still feel we are being manipulated, we need to break free.

I do feel some event is close on the horizon which will make a difference.

There seems to be a trickle of good news on the horizon.

‘What I dream of is seeing the next results day, when CPI inevitably gets spanked’

Your words SK. Sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite!

@SavageKeyboard 'PJT12 - It has plenty of relevance because some on here have been saying CPI can hit £1 SP'.

Not me SavageKeyboard, I predict the Capita share price will double from it's current levels in 12 months. In the near term, I predict the Capita share price will steadily climb from the current very low base in the lead-up to the next set of results, and spike upwards once the next set of results are released. I have no doubts whatsoever that the Capita turnaround story will be clearly evident in the next set of results for all stakeholders and investors to see.

As mentioned previously, I do consider you an incompetent investor. My advice to you is to drop your blinkered view of the world. Listen more (...especially to smart, wise and sucessful investors) and talk less. Invest in yourself - start with a basic accountancy course. Accountancy is the language of business.

I don't use the Filter button as much as i can. I just will not tollerate idiots. I have total six in green boxes from all the boards i visit on LSE.

Remember the great saying folks....'you will be judged by the company you keep, and the actions you take'. A good bellweather for life generally. If some want to converse with idiots, i will retain the option to judge them so......

Strange how DARK & okey (& others) can bring to the board company pertinant news and hardly a comment. Yey soom fool posts crap, and folks are hammering away at their keyboards.

Fair comments on AH by Go, agree there. Exciting next few months up to Dec update....

"Filter is YOUR option. Or, just take up golf, and test yourself. "Ve must try harder", as our German friends say|" There's a Lol from me there, Dalt. I'm a circa 19 H'capper, but I don't try and use the filter button as much as I can as I'd be in an echo chamber otherwise. Just like investing, how and what you do on a board like this is a reflection of how you are as a investor.

Good old Meekie is a good for nothing attention seeker making 10p a post on the CPI board from the shorting hedgies on CPI - she thrives on keeping the feedback loop running on here. The more the responses to her pointless posts, the merrier it is. And of course it gets better from there as you now have CPI holders going to the BT board and posting pointless posts, IMO, there. I can't imagine what that really achieves for them OR for us here. CPI's outcomes from here on is binary - either we get to bankruptcy from here that takes the SP to zero or Adolfo executes the long awaited turnaround that gives us 2 to 3x from these levels in 2025/26 and maybe more if the economy delivers under Labour. What Meekie posts on here through her backward looking lens won't impact if AH delivers or not and shouldn't that be all that matters for us lot? I suppose I'm pontificating now, but hey ho.

I firmly believe he will and what happens to the SP in the next 3 to 4 months or even into early 2025 as the UK economy recovers, should be of little consequence to most of us on here - AimLess and FearFul, and other traders notwithstanding. A little self-discipline in our response to posts and our investment approach go hand in hand even if numpties like Meekie hang around here like leeches - I'll leave it at that and keep my vigil going for the next positive piece of news from CPI.

Das is good 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

Should read COUTH...

Every BB has a Savage.... Some are just a little more ocuth and polite than others, Some just plain agitators.

Filter is YOUR option. Or, just take up golf, and test yourself. "Ve must try harder", as our German friends say....

Jambone has just opened yet another account in a desperate attempt to get back on QBT. How many IDs is that now?

You are so owned it's hilarious 😂

"Savage_KeyboardR"

"this CPI stock is a steaming turd of a business + the people on this board are little better"

The big question is why are you here and non stop posting?

You missed the 12p-13p to current price rise, learn from it, you are clearly not interested in CPI so spend your time finding better investments, move on, get a life, leave us alone.

[Investors buying the dip as Wall Street rout makes stocks cheaper]

However, as some traders are selling stocks to cut losses, others are seeing an opportunity to buy at a discount amid market panic.

I guess we're having the same story going on here in the UK and still in the USA too.

Anyone buying the dip b4 the last tradin day of week is upon you?

Keyboard if youve ever worked for , engaged with or dealt with Capita how can you definitively imply that Capita will not make its revenue targets despite the recent updates?

Keyboard so basically now you are agreeing with me on figures but are saying they cannot be achieved. I mean I'll guess we will see We have had 8 months of revenue from the company we just sold and the statements in the RNS were made with that in mind. As investors we can only go on what we are told in the information in good faith. What you've done is a) misinterpreted the data either negligently or wilfully (b) decided that whatever the company has said is wrong and unrealistic

I'm not saying you wont be wrong , I'm saying the whole song and dance you've pulled in the last few weeks is built on your wrongful interpretation of what you have read and the bad men in your politically correct pronoun obsessed head telling you that directors in Capita are effectively acting in bad faith by painting a far rosier picture in the August RNS

Anyone who wants a more informed opinion of capita’s future revenue etc can easily find it on capitas website. These analysts attended the recent presentations, and actually asked questions, rather than just guessing what may happen and posting on this website. These estimates also take into account the disposal of capita one. I would rather believe them than a faceless poster on this website, but and the end of the day no one has a crystal ball DYOR.
