I’m actually afraid of market portraying this as ‘Capita shuts down 100 offices due to H1 result and rent issues’. There’s never been any consideration when it comes to Capita. Capita also not presenting much to overturn it. However, the exaggeration to its share price is just one sided south.
"There is also a £42.6m non-cash charge for holiday pay accrual which is as a result of high levels of untaken holiday for our 60,000 colleagues; this is expected to reduce significantly in the second half. ". The problem with second half is the uncertainties of being able to travel. If the holiday travels are not permitted, what then?
For example, my company encourages gently (basically making us take) for all employees to take leaves and clear them up as we go without waiting for holiday travels or cashing them out. This might be or might not a significant amount to Capita depending on how many employees are waiting for it. But basically that's one of the action taken by my company and it's one of the 100 fortune companies list in UK and in 30-40 range position. For company like Capita with so many employee, this should be one of the necessary action in making the employees take leave without referring to when the travels are permitted again. It's already end of August and left 3 moths till the end of year for Al to refresh next year. So basically this is gonna take a toll on them.
I was reading through the RNS again all over. I find it rather very depressing and couldn't understand a CEO did not try to make up and make things look good and give promising future. Instead, a straight up honest sort of report saying, no sustainable cash flow till 2 years in the future, paid employee leaves are eat up the cash flow and such. Such an awful report in times like this. They did not even soften the blow to themselves. What are they trying to achieve? It's either the price will be up significantly in the future or the group looking at bankruptcy? It feels like they are trying to chase away false investors.
@isalingebruik, Why do you care so much about what people invest in? People invest with their own money with free will and you seems to have a problem with it. Certainly not out of a care for people losing their money. Why don't you go sort yourself out and make your own money somewhere more worthy of investment than CPI. Why stick around. I don't get it. Unless deramping job is putting food in the table for you during covid crisis, I'm not gonna tell you to stop because you are clearly minding your own business to feed yourself and your family. Otherwise, wake up.
I think @Isalingebruik is Pandamana reincarnation with a bamboo stick.
@Dave, let me explain in two words for those who are here long enough and invested will understand.
"Panda Prodigy"
Specifically, we got two here.
I'm invested in Capita but I won't be investing my time commenting anymore.
Clearly, this is the time for PROs to comment "Did I not tell you so!" especially when smth tanked. Have fun at it while it last.
Bye
That's what I'm saying, This could be at lower 20s and yet still sits at lower 30s. We were at upper 30s yesterday. This can't be any lower by performance itself. But the amount of negativity and trashing is just annoying.
With no opinion, simply posting and emphasizing how the company should be run and such. I just don't get it.
Yes, the price tanked by 10%.
Yes, I'm invested at higher price and didn't got out before the results.
Yes, I'm not Warran Buffet and yet I'm not ashamed of holding this share and investing for long term.
So my point is what are those people saying how ****ty is CPI are trying to get out of this? I just don't get it.
What's your suggestion Bert? Should we all dump CPI?
Typical market reaction to CPI. Pretty much the same ****. It's already climbing back though, not sure how long but this should be 50-60 range. I don't think this can do any bad by performance itself.
I'm at 39P and I'm holding long term. I still predict this as a winner in a long run.
Hmm, interesting. Only whatamess call IAG "This dog share". I'm wondering,.. hmmmm
Can't help but curious when someone has such strong opinion,.. hahaha
You're right Dave, we'll see tmr morning. All the best.
Why do you think it's been leaked? or is it just feeling it?
And yes, it's only like half a day away from the results. Not long to wait.
General market is crap at the moment, so it probably has nothing to do. If there's a leak and if things are bad, It will be down more than 3%.
"Barrick Gold shares rise 10% after Berkshire Hathaway revealed a stake in the company"
This kind of market sentiment is ridiculous and exactly what's going on with everyother shares. I get that Warren is a genius who made a fortune out of investment. But this kind of market sentiment feels so wrong and desperate.
What's your best guess on what will happen tomorrow after H1 result?
wait till warren jump back in, see what they have to say in a few months
Everyone on this board, US or UK, are here because they know they can get a good chunk of profit from this share. I got 105% rise few months back and 60% last two weeks ago when it rose to 60+. But saying something like what will happen next week on speculation alone should be counted into SP seems a bit ridiculous. That’s just desperation.
Why would US opening next week count into SP this week? I can’t understand smth this simple can become a question. No share price went up based on speculation alone. New about opening doesn’t guarantee audience. The data can only be collected on the openin day itself and then the company can start to speculate what the earning might be using these statistics.
And do you know how many times Reuter published information ahead of any other media to build credibility on speculations and got them completely wrong?
