Hi sorry been to busy working. Got this off Hargreaves Lansdown who i use. 16:37 - 23/09 n/a 3860000 90.57p £3,495,944.10 . not got the fog -est what n/a means but im off for 2 days now. Let the ALE flow.
Should be an interesting day tomorrow after three million buys today. Lets hope for good news and not a mistake which should have shown up as a sell! Also an after hours trade which means they did not Want to show their hand today. Good luck with Kcom.
The buys today accounted for 2.26 + % of the shares in issue. I would say that 2.2 % of these were attributable to one buyer. I really would like to know what is happening , if anybody knows ? I have not looked at major Kcom shareholders but would I be way off the ball thinking that there was a takeover being mounted ? Vodaphone are cash rich , and even though Kcom have a Countrywide network ( as opposed to just the Hull area) would that help or fit with the mighty Vodaphone.
Lets hope we stay here , and where is Ragamuffin --always funny, just sampling a few pints of King Goblin
Seems to be holding in the 90`s. C8.
Hit 91 just after opening at last we have seen a new high with a 9 in front, with Barclays having stated 95 is a realistic price tag I think kcom will be a topic in the City this morning.
Kcom Signs Up To The METRO2C Alliance. looking ahead to the cloud development and kcom's involvement in this I am sure this is excellent news further strengthening the future for success. I wait with baited breath for the sp to cross the 90p barrier its tittering on the edge this week.
Smashing closing price today , anybody know why ? Not complaining though.
Hi, I am an investor with both VOD & BT, along with many other FTSE, DOWJ stocks. I believe that KCOM may benefit upside when VOD reach an agreement with VZ. Possibly, investors may put some of their profits in here, as KCOM have a good growth story to that of VOD's that I beliieve Vittorrio will pay too much for future aquisitions, just like the one in 2001! 100p could well be reached by yrs end...?
The price will gyrate and you may have an opportunity to buy at a lower price but in general this share should be higher in 12 months time than it is now add to that the dividends and all will be well for long term holders (???!!). Your strategy may well work as well - I have recently done that with AV and BNC. I didn't sell them at the latest high price but I made profit and may get the chance to buy again at a lower price - who knows. The aim is to try to increase capital and income, we can't all be lucky all of the time. So far at least better than the building society!! we deserve that as we are taking more of a risk. I think Capro is probably correct re Director sells.
You may not be correct about the sell numbers on the Directors. If you look at the record of their holdings there was a transfer in prior to sell. I think you may find its a year end share allocation option scheme that has exercised. These are not actually owned until they become eligible and unless they have a mountain of cash to buy them at an agreed price they sell automatically taking the profit after costs only. I think with so much positive comment from the investment houses around KC one should be thinking about purchasing not selling. But hey its just an opinion.
Have held for just over 12 months and mad a healthy circa 25%o including dividend so I can't complain. Big sell on Friday by Paul Simpson who sold circa 66% of his holding made my mind up. Will however look for further opportunity to get back in if there is a retrace, although I won't hold my breath. Good luck all holders.
Divi' day just passed. The SP has held up since the Finals and the Fundamentals are sound. The Annual total Dividend of 4.4p is very attractive. As DEBS1 mentions good for regular income.
Hopefully it will push the share price to new highs. Regards C8.
Nice little rise today, not too long until the final divi arrives. Things still looking good going forwards. Cloud stuff very positive, customer numbers also and retained customers all ok. No worries as I can see!! Still a good entry point for regular income. Good luck all, this one still remains in the ISA porfolio!
This will drift a little more, maybe until Wednesday..
been some heavy buying today but it seems to have not made much of a difference to the price, got back in earlier this week.
Nice chunky non miss-able article in the business section of The Daily Mail about Kcom today (Saturday) Should bring buyers in on Monday
Some profit taking I guess due to the market dropping several hundred points, also not all deal are shown. I agree good company, no fireworks just sold, good core holding and great dividend.
If you watch the share price it seems like its always being held back when compared to its rivals. My gut wants to ask is it possible to fix prices in this day and age? If so by whom? Maybe someone with a grudge loosing a small fortune when KC shares reached dizzy heights and fell back hard a decade ago? One of course wants to think not. As usual a solid sound set of results and a solid statement with loads of positives for short and medium term growth. By now the City knows the team, at the helm in Kcom being all rock solid time served Business people. So why in spite of everything that they do does the Sp continue to under perform? Why loose so much in 2 weeks and struggle to recover on good news? Makes you wonder. I for one wish to congratulate the KCOM team for delivering a solid respectable performance on the back of a difficult economic trading year. My home services are provided by KC and they are the best they have ever been. Well Done all at KC.
10% dividend rise again. Whats not to like. C8.
drop off a cliff or what, glad i got out at 86p ill pop back in later. kcom seems to be a yo-yo. there must be logic to madness when you have more buys than sells but it still drops,WHY god only knows.
I do not currently hold here but am considering particularly on the basis of the recent SP drop - fundamentals look good - is this likely to throw some positive surprises tomorrow? BT recently managed to surprise the market, could KCOM do the same?
Full years results tomorrow, now fallen to 79p from 87p in 2 weeks. every day more buy's than sell's, what on earth is going on, normally high buying means a share rises ????? nevpow
The results slightly delayed on diary. Telecoms shares generally performing ahead of market expectations. A steady rise on sp. My gut feeling is a strong statement and an sp in the 90's by mid June.
