bennc7 - in theory it will dilute holdings by 1%, as we have 400million shares in issue as things stand.
I really wouldn't worry too much about it. GW
Hi all, on back of todays RNS for block listing of 4,000,000 shares to be admitted on 11th January, what are peoples opinions on what effect this will have on the share price (if any)?
I am still new to investing and am learning, but to me it seems to be that this is a dilution and bad timing on my part if this is the case as I only bought in yesterday.
Appreciate any thoughts and advice on the same.
Thx.
Hi guys just invested in here today, looks like good potential here , due to the state the nhs is in at the moment, where do you guys see this in 6 months time ? cheers
I sold out today (reluctantly!) as needed funds elsewhere. 100% profit but on a very small investment amount so not worth holding for long term unfortunately. Genuinely believe this will hit all time highs in next 18 to 24 months though (if not taken over beforehand!). GLA!
NAP is £1.05 per share
considering the state of the nhs spire have not got anything extra in the new contract they are negotiating
thank good sold out
It would be nice to get back to £3.oo but management is crap
Just wanted to express my thanks to those who post on here, im one of those who decided to divert free cash available during this pandemic & lockdown into shares.
Reading comments on this forum and doing a bit of my own basic research, culminated in buying Spire at 96p, and here we are !!!!!!!
Its looking good but how much further can this share price go.
Good analysis and I believe Spire will deliver v.good shareholder returns in the future + it seems Motley Fool agrees,(which may or may not be a good thing!). I am already invested and will look to add shortly in any case. GLA

My opinion (for what it is worth) - the NHS waiting lists are only going to get longer as we progress through the pandemic. At present more bed space will be put on standby for dedicated Covid wards accross the country. In order to clear these waiting lists Private Hospital capacity will need to be used both by the NHS and by private individuals desperate to get their hip / shoulder etc. sorted out. Even those ardent Labour supporters out there would likely agree that NHS capacity cannot be increased to cope with the backlog, especially during a pandemic. In any case the additional capacity required is to an extent a result of the pandemic and could become surplus to requirements 3 to 5 years down the line. The private sector has an opportunity to step in and help the whole country here, along with it's own balance sheet and profitability. We should be thankful that we have a private hospital sector at a time like this. I have rated this as a weak buy only because we are in a pandemic - structurally I think Spire are in a good place.
Steady rise over the last couple of weeks with high volumes. Is there some stakebuilding?
Any views?
Reported in the Smith & Nephew trading update - 'global levels of elective surgery continued to recover'
Taken from IG's morning email:
Spire Healthcare raised to overweight at JPMorgan
Agreed. Sitting duck at these levels.
I'm in the medical profession and everyday I'm talking to patients who want to know when they can get their procedure done. As expected there is a large waiting list due to CV-19 and this is going to take several years to get back to 'normal' or acceptable levels again.
Patients are asking to go private more than I have witnessed ever before in my 30 year carer. The private sector is not fully up and running but when is there will be huge volumes of work to get through. I can't see the NHS managing without handing contracts to the private providers and in parallel many folk with pay rather than wait.
All this bodes well for Spire and I would not be surprised if it doesn't get taken out at this price.
The board rejected an offer from MDC some time ago for over 320 but turned it down
If Spire get a big chunk in September time which they are likely to do, then £2.60 might seem a little on the cheap side?
Ok lol how about 260 ???
why does some one not buy this company out for £3.00 a share and be done with it
JP Morgan raises Spire to 1.36
There's been an RNS this morning that give more detail. A good deal for Spire.
would like an udpate on govt. position and their intentions over next few months . those hips and knees ain't gonna fix themselves.
