Last year interim results was on the 9th Sept.
Any inkling when we might see this years?

How is this getting manipulated?

Costain is ‘extremely cheap’, says Liberum
Construction and engineering group Costain (COST) is ‘extremely cheap’ given its structural growth opportunities, says broker Liberum.
Analyst Joe Brent retained his ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of 80p on the stock, which closed down 3%, or 1.8p, at 58.6p on Friday.
Earnings per share increased 28% in the first half of the year and the business is ‘operating effectively’, said Brent, analysing the interim numbers.
‘The order book has fallen slightly at first half 2021, but there is a high level of tendering activity,’ he said.
‘Costain is well positioned to benefit from the golden age of infrastructure and Boris Johnson’s 10 point plan [for a green industrial revolution]. It is well set for revenue and margin progress and is extremely cheap on current year 2022 price/earnings of 6.2x.’

When TLW said that they would make money when it was $50ish a barrel , was it WTI or Brent?

I quite like this Poker chips fella.
Seems to me he is more interested in facts , figures and to be a successful investor.
No place for sentiment when there is skin in the game.

New CFO starts today.

December seems so far away, why can't Xmas come early just for once!

This is like watching paint dry
For a bit of fun I am going to make a prediction, this share is never going to be £20 per share :)

Just curious how come the CEO was able to a few million shares at 18p

What was the outcome of the interview with the CEO that was going to happen today?
It was mentioned on here last week.

Looks like sentiment has changed in the press over the weekend. Things are seen to be more positive.
Also looks like the new resistance is 60p.

Metom when did you sell?

Less than a month to go for 1/2 yearly results.
21 September. All suppliers seem to be posting good results, lets up it is good for SIG

I am surprised that the web site is so bad. It is possible that they are holding everything back until launch of product. Rather than dribs and drabs.

Is this a tree shake? Now down 4p
Now that results out can BoD buy now?
If they can would be nice to see them invest into their own company they work for.

The legal wrangle over the problem Peterborough & Huntingdon gas station job is ongoing with the final charge on results not expected to exceed £57.3m
As Millerston has already pointed out this is why share price is not moving!

Just came across this : https://www.constructionenquirer.com/2021/08/25/tighter-contract-risk-controls-paying-off-for-costain/I believe until there is a reinstatement of a dividend there will be very little price movement in share price.

Stew 2000 I agree.
The cost of a product launch is huge. So for the sake of a couple of months launch all products together. this forward thinking saves money.

This really struggles to get past 62p and stay there.
I have held this stock for ever and looking back it was when the dividend increased is when the share price followed quite significantly.
Would like to see BoD put their hands in their pockets to show a level of commitment and confidence.
However I do see Costain signs and projects all over the place here in the SE.

After Costain expressing an interest into graphene concrete I believe there is a lot of scope for graphene based tech and products. Got to be in it to win it.
