It seems "Norges Bank Investment Management" somehow increased its AHCG holding from the 4.69Million shares as stated on "FactSet Research Systems" to own 7.96Million AHCG shares as stated on todays RNS, They Then proceeded to sell 2.35million shares to Blakeney LLP who now own 17.16m AHCG shares. This transaction was done at below market price. This begs the question there must have been collusion between the two institutions who clearly want to increase their respective ACHG holdings as no doubt this is a great investment but they done this at the cost of retail investors? Or however you can take the alternate view & say it gave us a nice opportunity to top-up at very cheap prices for those of us who where clever enough to buy in when it dropped. Anyhow ACHG should be coming out with some great numbers if two of its biggest shareholders are going to such measures to increase their holdings in the company. (Ironfish whats your thoughts on this?) Good Luck All

Blakeney LLP being the biggest institutional holder has board level access hence they must deem this to be a excellent investment to increase their holding, along with the very positive RNs from ahcg I'm very pleased. So your asking why the share price drop when only good things have happened? Well blakeny probably had a agreement to purchase shares from action group holding who own 65% of ahcg more shares when certain targets have been met. Hence u see one big sale and one big buy. The price of purchase was the IPO price. Hence this transaction has artificially lowered the share price. Price will gradually go above 65p in the next few weeks.

When spreads are high market makers don't why you to buy hence high spread causecthey lose money selling to you. Hence indicative of cheap price to buy!/

The big sale was Action Group who own 60% of Action Hotels releasing some holding to market makers so that the stock can become more liquid. This is a good sighn and will result in trading volumes increases and the high spread will decrease as ahcg will get traded more.

Welcome to the AHCG discussion board "creature" nice to have you on board. Great Buy!

Bid higher than asking means no ones willing to sell and hence huge buys going through. Ahcg is going on the radar!

Wow spread has dropped ahcg is gonna move up soon. The spread is under 2%

I'd advice buying in now day trader you won't get these prices for long. Should recover back to 60 soon.

There seems no reason for the drop hence excellent time to top up I just bought 1690 more shares. GLA

Yes they are taking bookings from the 25th the money should start rolling in nicely, this hotel along with its serviced apartments should be a cash cow for ahcg along with meeting strong demand for 3* hotels in the area. I've researched the location extensively and I have to say its excellent, very up and coming hence should give us huge appreciation of land and building as ahcg own the freehold. Infact in the time ahcg have built the hotel property prices have rocketed nearly 60% plus in the area. This should start pushing up the daily room rates very soon. As mentioned by ahcg in their last release they will rerate the value of ibis seef on the balance sheet now that it is a completed hotel, with the added increase in value in the manama area we should be in for a very pleasent surprise in regards to net asset value. Ahcg is possibly one of the most credible and unvervalued hotels stocks on the London stock exchange.

pic.twitter.com/QWinTLOkdc Check this out its a link to a beautiful picture of the newly completed ibis seef! Beautifull building really happy to be a shareholder of ahcg at these early stages. At the current rate we should have 20 operating hotels by 2020! Enjoy

Many thanks iron-fish.

No mystery here daytrader is a com's PLC holder whose trying to sell cross boards as com's share price has dropped over a 1000% over last year he desperate to get interest in com's. So he does this by going into other share boards like ahcg bad mouthing it and suggests you to buy com's instead. What if people lose there money like many others that had bought coms in at 12p boy its now only 2p. Be responsible!

Action Hotels is a solid longer term investment. Its asset rich with solid freehold land and buildings. It has a very strong pipeline which it has now proven they can excicute on time and in budget. The markets the hotels are based in have strong growth. This company is a sure thing. I suggest you get in now while you can as the shares are extremely cheap now. Its better to make a good return in a sure thing than risk it on is something that maybe could make you spectacular returns but could also give you spectacular losses.

The rns about the hotels completion seemed like a last minute job! Wasn't written professionally at all! To say I'm very angry is a understatement. The RNs should had been held back til the first hotels are open for trading rather than just complete I have contacts at both and apparently they are won't be 100% til feb 2015 so I still stand by my previous post. Its seems the recently departed CFO used to write ahcg's rns's and since he's gone its sounding amateurish. I believe ahcg board pushed the opening forcibly under pressure from institutional investors to open in time when really they should had opened in Feb 2015 more comfortably. I will be writing a strong letter to the board about the amateur last RNs released! I think all if should. Another important point I raised with Katie Shelton recently was shareholder benefits e.g. share preferential rates for all ahcg hotels which would cause more interest in people buying ahcg shares? Ahcg is currently undervalued significantly it should really be now a £1.20 share. I aggree with ironfish sp will improve when the numbers roll in. All in all still a great investment am in for the long term.

Ironfish you sound a very shrude investor and you've identified fundamentally important questions and points of concern in the business model. The question for us as a investor is has or can AHCG pass scrutiny on these points, in my educated researched opinion they have & will. For me this is one of the few investments currently available on the aim market that is a "no brainer". I think we will be vindicated In time (3 months) as the pipeline excicutes and SP performs better. I think the board have failed with its nomads however to create more interest from private investors as they have 8 institutions invested but not enough pi's. Maybe we can bring this at the next general meeting?

Typo

Well any related party agreements will be thoroughly inspected by the board of AHCG, Nominated advisors fincap & sometimes institutional investors to make sure they are fair for AHCG shareholders. So chances of us getting stitched up by Action Group are remote. Anyhow Action Groups primary objective is promote development not profit as its majority shareholder is Kuwait royal family, so it doesn't have a pressure to make huge profits. So as regards to moving profit off to parent company this is legally possible as they are two separate legal entities in terms of ownership under stewardship of two different boards although with "sabah" the chairman of ahcg influential on both boards.

So I definitely know that "Premier Inn Sharjah" and "Ibis Seef" have both had their opening rescheduled for February 2015. The third hotel that is due to open in December 2014 was the "Premier Inn Areb Tower" but I don't have contacts at this site so I cannot say if this one will open on schedule. In my opinion based on what is known to date I think all three hotels will be opened together in February 2015. A schedule is on a guess and its better not to force it cause costs and quality suffer so I am happy for it to be delayed to keep costs in budget and also keep quality the best. Action Group own 65% of Action Hotels IronFish so they would off-course as a shareholder like me and you would take a proportionate cut of 65% off any profit from Action Hotels. They was very generous and waived their entitlement to the initial dividend if you can remember.

Just recieved confirmation that premier inn sharjahs opening has been moved back to February 2015 and not December 2014 as initially announced by AHCG. My contact is very reliable. Would be nice to get a update from board, maybe someone could contact lady Kate Shelton?
