Yes they issue a year end trading update I haven't looked but have held these in one form or another on and off for years all the way down to here. I think again from memory it was usually issued in the first week or two in January if not December so something not in keeping with that for some reason.

Hello thanks. It does seem strange that he hasn't bought more shares, the other ceo from memory had quite a lot more and did a fair bit of buying on top of his share options. I think he is English, shame the business can't do a bit more internationally. I thought it was nailed on to merge with Kier but that doesn't look like happening. I wonder what or who has prompted the delay in the trading announcement.

Well when you look at his bibliography it doesn't even say where he has worked before or where he if from born brought up, schools, any university nothing, nada. I know there was an issue with blacklisting in the past and have heard that can still go on in some industries, recruitment, parts of the city etc but I doubt they'd make the same mistake again.

Hey I forgot what irritates me about chatrooms - for instance your posts I don't like people who pick on people or bullies -

Your post - 347.70p - 11 April 20222
Then one day out of the blue , or in this case out of the green hydrogen it will be ...........
Boom , bang , bong .............lift off.
ITM power will head north fueled by its one green hydrogen rocket with contracts left right and centre and we will all live happily ever after.
It might seem like a fairy story but their is so much just over the horizon the most exciting of which is the 20% mix that is going to happen in our own gas network here in the UK from 2023.
A little more patience needed , but the even bigger reward for us long termers is not far off in my view.

Ha well hopefully Alex Vaughan didn't read this and cancel the trading update.

Here's wishing for a good, more peaceful, honest and happier year.
Seems a bit odd the US regulators fined firms for their employees violations relating to the use of WhatsApp and other platforms but none here. Might be worth keeping this in mind folks just in case.
Something or somebody needs to expose the corruption and relationships between companies, market makers, accountants to name but a few.
As for IG their employees have access to such privileged information never mind level 2, imagine if you could see a whole load of customer portfolios in leveraged positions in particular shares and the close out levels, how much would that be worth to a shorter, priceless.

I have had some unusual experiences with Halfords and the way the price has moved. It just has not been right. Something or somebody needs to expose the corruption and relationships between companies, market makers, accountants to name but a few. Seems a bit odd the US regulators fined firms for their employees violations relating to the use of WhatsApp and other platforms but none here.
Market makers should be facilitating trade not exploiting investors, that might be a good start alongside the use of technology.
Also the relationships with CEOs, anybody know anything about the person in charge here? I know he was ex Carphone Warehouse.

I see the comment something not right below here, there is lots not right with the stockmarket. Something or somebody needs to expose the corruption and relationships between companies, market makers, accountants to name but a few. Seems a bit odd the US regulators fined firms for their employees violations relating to the use of WhatsApp and other platforms but none here.
Also the relationships with CEOs, anybody know anything about the person in charge here? I smell something.

Yep thanks think you are right. I think there are also OFCOM and CMA consultations on advertising which will probably result in things staying as they are.

hello anybody know when this is due - maybe next year?

Came across this - Costain reported pre-tax profits of £5.8million in the first half - The shares fell 3¼p to 269¾p - Daily Express Fri, Aug 22, 2014.
Obviously there has been the rights issue since then but just goes to show how detached from any reasonable value Costain is now also I think with more cash than it had back then, I should know because I have been buying on and off since about that time. A lot of the management have been there a long while now, anyway I don't get it.

I might be wrong but the Jupiter managers are in place, Jupiter hold a biggish stake in Chrysalis and seemed to have a lot of overlapping holdings which they are now selling. Looking at Chrysalis it still seems to have some really good holdings. Why have Jupiter not bought or merged Chrysalis any ideas?

Agreed MTB. Also the business has previously communicated that they will be going for less but hopefully better quality work in terms of the order book.
The cash in bank pension surplus looking at maybe some 20m plus profits a year the market cap is no way near reflecting this or the underlying operations and the areas in which it operates.
The directors and non exec will one hopes be looking at some value for shareholders a merger or take over with the synergies is I believe a very highly likely just a question of who and when.
Today’s performance and the market not reflecting the value of the underlying business and after so many years of the share price falling or treading water surely makes for more decisive action.

When I read about these pay negotiations I can’t help but think of the zero hour economy. Often working at a fraction of the wage often without any real benefits often without any real pensions.
Until the UK gets to grips with the failed Marxists and the clandestine organisations the UK is marooned.
Time for them to move on. They’ve done enough damage to this country. Better understanding and better democracy and better relations with the world.

A few people seem set on trying to destroy this country including some (not all) of the unions and some older politicians. It will be a shame if hsbc and standard chartered decide to leave the country. I think somebody will merge with standard chartered and buy the business.
Compared to other businesses organisations executives I think these are well run quality businesses. I think the uk should be getting stronger links and maybe countries learn from other countries better that way than just throwing insults.

Got you

Mind you if they are maybe they can answer my question - if inflation tails off considerably will the pay award be adjusted accordingly.
Also aren’t the most successful parts of the business non UK are they expecting subsiding of wages pensions by the overseas business?
Sell the uk postal business it’s not worth this. Let it go.

Yes you are probably right the legacy issues perhaps have tainted the share price for good. I do think the people running the ship and major shareholders will be aware. Personally I think if a share trades below financial assets never mind physical assets then something usually gives at some point. I don’t think there is enough stock to enable many new institutional shareholders. Still think maybe one of the cheapest shares on the market. Good luck

Eh! Costain are already involved in nuclear facilities in the uk and no problem there. Don’t panic!

I wonder if Costain will pick up much work from RR on their nuclear facilities being planned.
Anyway as things stand I think that I am right in saying 20-30 million pound profits forecast and trading at something like a market cap which is 2/3 of total net assets. Crazy.
