Can we expect a share price rally in the next 5 weeks before finals are announced. Surely all the bad news is priced in to this current lowly share price.

Possibly good buying opportunity for risk takers with cash to spare.

Could see 30 to 40% uplift approaching results day or remain flat as the dividend doesn't attract speculative punters anymore.

So the CFO retires early - always causes shivers through the shareholders. Paul Rayner has a chunk of his own money invested so would like to think he wouldn't throw it away so easily.

Free falling SP at present is a cause of concern.

SP dropped off and has stagnated ever since the HSS news. Nothing on the horizon apparently now until we get a trading statement hopefully in the near future.

High 30's this year's target.

Next week should reveal if the velocity strategy which the Chief Executive has put great faith (and expense) in will at last bear fruit. Needs to show a swing back into profit to hold onto any personal credibility.

Noticed he has not bought any shares with his own monies which is somewhat indicative of the confidence in his strategy maybe?

SP back to levels pre HSS announcement also.

End of year result will be announced in 4 weeks but would it be imprudent to maintain the dividend at current levels? A rally in the SP will smooth the ways perhaps? My personal interest is hoping for maintaining at same level but nothing surprises me with Speedy.

Also can't wait to see how fast the company is progressing along the Velocity initiative it introduced several years ago? It'll Probably prove to be another white elephant introduced by the chief exec who has never invested his own money in buying Speedy shares!

Awaited this statement with interest but the news coming out hasn't been positive for a long time now. The big spend on velocity just keeps shoving up the debts and consequent interest costs. It's always "things will be better next year" and I'm afraid that's a CEO that's hoping and praying rather than providing concrete evidence of success.

The dividend looks like it'll be scuppered too now but can't sell at these levels so I'll see what happens and hope and pray too!

Macca still keeping the faith! We get a decent dividend but little else to cheer about. Must be a take over prospects at these prices? See what trading announcement reports in next few days.

Interim results out 5 weeks today and all will be revealed.

Velocity strategy of achieving turnover of £650m by 2028 looks challenging after services revenues fall 5% this time after falling 5.2% last year too.

That said I'm still expecting increased interim dividend to .09p as Mr Dan Evans has to keep his shareholders happy doesn't he?

Speedy post dividend has now entered the doldrums until the the santa rally will see it reach 45p by the end of the year. Needs some positive reporting then to see if the velocity strategy is doing anything to move the price up again.

I imagine it's simply light hearted optomism which I support. Can't explain the rises and falls sometimes.

I Don't blame them I'd be buying too (to average down) if I had funds.

It will cost approximately £13 million to maintain the current dividend. Being optimistic I reckon they wiil maintain it but not increase it.

Any other direction of travel admits a failure of the Velocity growth plan.

End of year coming up but results in July?

I would have more faith in the board of directors who have implemented the Velocity strategy if they were filling their boots at this low price.

I need double this price to escape unscathed. Patience my man patience!

You clearly have crystal balls. Please tell me when to buy to reverse my misery.

Wave bye bye to the dividend. Something will have to give and I reckon it's the shareholders 6 - 7% payout.

Ripe for takeover for buyout company with a big stick as the core market is sound but the management sadly failing to grasp it.

Morning maccaroo. Bought back in at the near bottom? Let's hope you've got the midas touch.

Upward projector from here on in.

Sdy still tripping itself up year in year out up but the dividend is a softener for now as you know.

Next set of results in a few months so let's hope the construction market hasn't slacked too much.

Took the dividend this week and decided to cash it in. Patience is low with Sdy so decided not to reinvest.

Bound to bounce now it always happens.

Might need something bigger than an acrow prop to keep the share price up.

Gone ex dividend yesterday so should have bounced back today. Normally happens but not with Speedy.

Maybe view it as a good buying opportunity?

I'm all for innovation but as a shareholder this sort of thing makes me nervous with Speedys track record over the last few years being poor. Usually resulting in writing off a loss making venture in the annual results several years later.

Nice idea this eco energy but it costs more and in my opinion isn't going to boost the overall profits but I will wait to be proven wrong.
