As a Speedy share holder its feels like being a sailor in the pacific with no breeze to propel us along - might need to get off this ship when it next docks at a decent port. Anyone agree?
At least Speedy should save money buying the (10%) 52.8 million shares in the buyback scheme - will only cost £27 million at current level of buying - most profitable thing this year giving £3million towards the special dividend.
things maybe looking up - results in 3 weeks - time to sell and beat a hasty retreat from the punishment!
How hard can it be to click the button and buy a couple of million shares? if the brokers are short staffed I could always drop in and press a few keys for them. At this rate it'll take till 2024 to spend £30 million. I jest but woud like a sensible explanation for the stunted progress in the buyback.Surely the SP must pick up soon as its in miserable territory right now and that's with all the good news from recent months.
Looking back several years now Speedy share price has never achieved or even come close to the target level set after results announcement. Targets of 90p previously and now 113p? Really?
Speedy clings to the 60 to 70p range and struggles to move beyond. It really is time for a sell up next results day or just before - the charts show spikes in price rise then fall off like a stone.
Bewildering really but see what the N Y brings.
Mediocre results as is the mode for Speedy and can't see market sentiment getting this towards 90p anytime soon unfortunately for me and other holders of this share. Tested the market at 81p earlier this week and now retreated like a scalded cat.
Dividend to look forward to at least.
Appears to be holding in the mid 70s of late and with the results out on the 25th it could be teeing up for another 10% uplift.
Don't know what the chart gazers think?
Really don't need any duff surprises this year to drag it down again and who knows - 1p dividend may be forthcoming!
Well well the ***** is back - with his usual upbeat view on his major shareholding in speedy.
This time the soothsayer is claiming he had psychic knowledge of a speedy presence in B&Q in August when we all know they were being trialled from July onwards. Doh! Some scoop.
Good move I reckon - Joe public won't carve up the hire rates like big contractors do. Small outlets never hurt Greggs did they.
Have watched Sdy move up nicely since the vaccine news but I believe half year results are out tomorrow morning so that should paint a truer specific picture of market sentiment. Borrowings have been reducing but let's see if organic growth and profits are improved.
No nonsense from Mr walker thank you very much.
Never mind the Boll-cks is my message to all on here who want to have a sensible exchange of comment excluding you know who.
My message to W Boss - go seek help as all that pent up angst and bitterness has made you a pitiful person. Speedy didn't want you - accept it and get on with your life. Life's like that sometimes.
Leave us losers who have invested a few quid in this useless company to ourselves.
Go and troll other companies who've also offloaded you for being a complete Bosshead. I hate everything about you.
You don't need to reply but probably will.
Wow. What a vindictive little man you appear to be. What motivates you to simply pour out heaps of provocative nonsense?
Life is to short to carry all that pent up hatred and anxiety about a hire company!
Why don't you concentrate on shares you hold that you like not ones you don't? Strange.!
Tuesday's delayed results are eagerly anticipated but the prudent thing would be to hold off on dividend this period. At this level the SP should be prepared for the deferment you may think?
I'll be content with a steady price rise over next couple of months to post election 70p+.
Involvement on Nightgale hospitals may have rescued a little of the revenue late on but all will be revealed on Tuesday.
Reassured of SDYs staying power of late.
Has reached brokers targets and is pushing boundaries for another breakthrough. Lots of new buyers and sellers has given it a new lease of life.
Looking forward to seeing 90p by the time of trading statement in mid to late March along with a push ahead with dividend too.
Achieved new high this morning. If it gets a hold at 80p then new target of 85p should be achievable. Lots of numerous (for speedy anyway) small purchases over the last week showing a fresh impetus compared to the laboured activity through Autumn months.
Tipped in Investors Chronicle. Hope it's not the death knell!
Don't subscribe so can't read it. Anyone post it please?
Lots of small sales going through now. Profit taking to pay towards the Xmas excesses. Can't fault them - a nice 20% if you got in pre election.
Looking for 80p and I may be tempted!
The in house brokers will have to move their targets now this has found legs at last.
Don't want this year to end now! Lots of buyers in at around 77p. Upwards and onwards.
Has progressed well since results announced and even directors chucking their own money in the pot. Goes ex dividend tomorrow so we may have to wait until middle of next week before we see the years high beaten. Feels like the Xmas rally that's going on rather than SDY being attractive to new investors though.
Thought I knew the speedy share better than this. Might have accepted a 10% drop after divi was paid but to fall like a stone is strange without any declared bad news. Really expected it to be at record high at the moment but what do I know? Year on year improving profits and dividends surely count for something don't they? Walking boss - update please from inside.
Share price has climbed 15% since I posted 8 weeks ago but really needs to get past the 65p resistance level now to challenge last Julys high of 66p. Get past that and hello low 70s I reckon. Going ex divi next week will obviously knock it back temporarily but despite walkingboss's impassioned statements of doom and gloom I look forward to my payment in August and I''ll be sticking around for the foreseeable future.
Looking forward to a well overdue bounce in the sp when results are announced in a few weeks.
Recent acquisitions should have begun to feed into the improved profitability and looking to a good hike in the dividend as a result.
SP needs a boost after slumping back to levels seen a long time ago despite large investments by big institutions.
Come on Speedy give us something to cheer about. (For once)
