Nice 10% rise in interim dividend. GLA.
Buy more KCOM as i believe it will go up and if not the divi is good. Last night had a couple of beers. wedding is on 03-11.and Nottingham don't do lace any more i think you can only get it over Lancashire way .off to try my suit today im wearing tails that should be fun.
Hi Rags, sounds like the wedding was this w/e, seems like you are still celebrating - good for you!! Hope it went well and all the efforts were appreciated, as well as the lace - I hope it was best Nottingham lace. (I was brought up there years ago - so I know good lace when I see it!). Normally the threat of having the family jewels in a jar on the mantle piece is enough to keep them in line and behaving well!! Lets hope KCOM can do us all a good turn with their next statement in a few days time. Good dividend in the future as well to replenish the wedding coffers.Good luck. - DEBS1
our daughter has never been materialist SO my wife sore this lace to go down the front of her dress going down in a v if you know, but it looks beautiful please forgive any spelling as ive had a drink or 7. i have lost i little girl and i don't like it. BUT i have given him the God Father to watch ALL OF THEM. so he nos not to mes (even though i like him)
sounds exciting and expensive! Cheaper to send your daughter to collect her own dress. I hope KCOM can pay for it with the next divi. Good luck
Thank's for the info. Off to pick up my daughters wedding dress now. so ill get back on line later.
KCOM had a down grade (from strong buy to hold!) from one of the brokers, so the result is the sheep follow and hey ho the price drops! Then next week another broker will say a 'strong buy' and guess what? I suppose that is what they call a market but it was also a tree shake, to have the chance of buying more share more cheaply. Good luck is not needed here as this is a top share with a great divi. However I did say to myself I would sell at 85p but I just didn't get round to it! DYOR but accept it is a great share to hold!
Hi all. I don't understand why it's dropping as we always get a good dividend,, so i would think that people would want to keep a hold.They have grown well and will continue to.
Broadband and communications provider Kcom has performed in line with expectations in the first half of its fiscal year, but orders in its enterprise division have been a bit below expectations. The ability now to offer bundled services - e.g. phone plus broadband - continues to receive a positive response from the KC division's customers, while Kcom, the group's enterprise business, has delivered year over year growth in its multi-year order backlog, albeit lower than previously anticipated due to the uncertain environment for business investment decision making.
Broadband and communications provider KCOM has fallen following a downbeat trading statement prior to its interims. It announced that it is trading "in line with expectations", but orders in its enterprise division have been below expectations. KCOM also revealed that first-half net debt has increased as a result of share scheme purchases and planned increases in capital expenditure. At the last year-end (March 31st), net debt was reported as £75m. Bill Halbert, Executive Chairman, commented: "The continuing macro-economic uncertainty is resulting in slower new business investment decision making and this is likely to remain the case through the second half of the year." When questioned, a company spokesperson denied that this was a veiled profits warning and Halbert himself has restated the company's "commitment to delivering a minimum 10% increase in full-year dividend". Earlier this week Oriel Securities downgraded KCOM and issued a 'hold' recommendation. The group's interims for the half year ending September 30th are due to be announced on November 27th.
Any reason why this has hit the 80p mark. No complaints - but I am curious as to the reason - if there is one! Investor confidence of course!
nice one at the end there wish it was meeeeeee.
off out now see you all later.
ive been playing with kcom for a couple of years now just got back in at mid day. me thinks its going higher now. i don't get much chance for chinwags working to long hours but ive made some good money off kcom and they have English call centers.
Good to see your post. I appreciate you are in a lot higher than me. My target is based upon uplift from my buy in at about 72p giving me 33% rather than upon detailed knowledge and research. Sadly I'm not a shares guru but just a beginner. All that said I'm quite prepared to ammend my target and holding so if you have some knowledge to impart in any thinking that the share has more potential then I will be pleased to consider it if your willing to share.
Hello IWHFradley, My target is a little higher than yours but only because we hold a few of the original purchases (£2.50) remainder purchased at £0.65 -- good local company needs to spread wings -- perhaps with 4G etc. Enjoy your weekend.
This share is now testing its high of 83.5 back in early 2007. It tried to get into the 83p twice but couldn't hold. If it can break through 83 (next resistence 83.33), I think it can make further gains and I have a 95 target and nothing appears to be changing my mind. Any thoughts? .............................. is anyone out there?
Well done to Kcom. Bar a couple of blips this morning I feel it was a good solid show. Nothing special but steady consolidation.
The RNS outlines both directors sales as necessary to cover tax and NI liabilities. 'SALE OF 661,308 ORDINARY SHARES TO COVER TAX AND NI LIABILITY FROM RELEASE OF SHARES UNDER THE KCOM GROUP PLC LONG TERM CO-INVESTMENT PLAN' That therefore makes plenty of sense and settles my unrest. He clearly needs to pay his tax and when your given about a million pounds worth I guess disposal of some is normally necessary.
Looks to me like he has disposed of (cashed in) about half the number of shares transfered to him on 6th September. Never the less I'd rather see the Directors buying than selling. Hopefully it won't un nerve investors. What do you think posters?
KCOM Group Sell 10-Sep-12 £538,625.46 Paul Simpson 661,308 @ 81.45p
Another small rise again today. Looking at the chart this share has barely dipped since starting a steady climb at the beginning of June. It was 67p on the 12 June and has grown by over 17% / 15p with hardly any bobbles at all. I know there have been no days where it has risen significantly but there have been no days where it has fallen suddenly either. I had a target of 95p for the share and at the moment there is little to change my view that this will be achieved in the fulness of time. Some may say its performance is dull but no duller than the BB. Give me dull and I'll take another 17% in the next 3 months - that would give me about 98p!
Yes to more interest - as long as it is genuine info. to help us with our investment strategy. Long term holder of Kcom therefore pleased to see the resulting share price rise from peoples hard work at the company. Mobile tie up is a good move. Why sell at 90p when the co. strategy and dividend strategy are both good and delivering above average returns for us - unless something changes. If it does let us know - on the board!!
2% rise giving it the best close price since mid 2006. We should be shouting from the roof tops.Alos broke the 80.33 resistence. Can we try and generate a bit more interest on this board?
Just touched 80p as a close for the first time since July 2011 as far as I can see. Considering the FSTE was so poor today this share gives me some confidence. For me I'm hoping to see 90p before I consider selling.
