Lots of green boxes this morning. Am i missing anything worth the effort of reading? Probably not!

SimPil, agree there. This is a fantastic opportunity for Capita to show what can be done with implementation of new tech. But, the coin has two sides, if they f it up, everyone is watching. Personally i feel they have had long enough to get their ducks in line to succeed with this.....

@Badge, no not closed period by my understanding either, as 'only' a trading update

Next couple of weeks or so Ekimp.....

You know i've always been baffled as to why have a TU so close to financial year end, 31 Dec. It's almost like a prelude to what will be announced in March for FY results. Most other companies i research announce their TU's nicely between HY & FY results. Odd a date has not been announced, true. But it's not an 'overdue trading update' Aim, it's the announcement of it's date that is overdue, and is usually known by now. Not a worry in my mind...

One of the potholes may be the takeover of the CSPS contract from MyCSP. Bit of a hot potato that one. A real world test of this new tech Capita have been trumpeting. One the other hand a possible shop window to all clients (& potential clients) as to what Capita can now do.

Anyway, am pleased to finally gave us something other than 'guess the share price' to read. Thanks for that effort.

Reasonable points actually Aim. But, i see the pot as half full, whereas you are in the half empty camp. Yes, no new contracts (yet), possibly true. But i take a longer view of things. 2025 has been the year of increasing margins through implementation of tech. I see Capita pushing out from this and building through 2026. DARK's linkedin articles allude to this push. Am not too concerned about slight revenue drop, as this has been flagged by CEO & CFO.

Refer yourself to the level of PTP from before Covid. T/o double now. I'm looking at a timescale of 12/18 months to achieve sustained FCF & PTP.

But, i agree, in the very short term there may be some potholes in the road that a trader, oops Master trader, as yourself, may be able to take advantage of

Ok, well nobody took the challenge. Maybe it was the thought of winning and having to spend a weekend in Cleethorpes that did it. The answer was of course AimMaster (yes, the trading Master himself). Predicted 316 post budget and waits patiently for his 225p entry point.....

Bit more on this CSPS affair...

Nice find @SimPil, good weekend everyone

All to play for next week.......times are starting to get interesting

@Marcus, there's a weekend in Cleethorpes in February up for grabs here mate......all expences paid too

Ok everybody. Pay close attention. Stop what you're doing. Trenners, put that cookie down! (nobody will get that one). It's time for a Friday afternoon quiz. Only one question, so not too taxing on the little grey cells.

Q: Who was it earlier this week said the share price would tank to 316p after the budget?

Think carefully people, there's a prize involved here......

@Craig, a bit more on this manipulation of stock/share prices. I take NIO as an example only as i have been researching recently. Back in 2021 the SP of NIO was circ$60. On 28 Jan Morgan Stanley raised it's forcecast to $80 (overweight). Some analysts raised their TP to over $100.Not too long after that the SP collapsed (as CPI) and all those fomo suckers saw the SP drop to $4. Analysts either are totally crap at their job or they are extremely good at manipulating the market.....other opinions are available.....oh, imho

Agree with that sentiment @Tren, the good news is dripping through in a way it never did under Lewis. 360 would be 24p old money. A reasonably decent TU and we could be heading into 2026 with the wind in our sails. Been in the doldrums too long.

You may well be correct @Cull, but how does this explain selling or buying 3 shares for a tenner? I think there is a more devious underlying reason, and i think it is manipulation

.....but who knows eh

Thanks Craig, am just trying to help people figure out how the mechanics of the market work. It kind of explains why we often get trades of 1 - 10 shares here. It's the market makers moving the SP around. Triggering stop losses. Then the algorithms, i guess, pick up on that. Algorithms account for 99% of all market trades. I thought the vidoe was worth the watch myself......

UBS increase?

Wasn't sure whether to share this with my fellow investors here. Its a short video on how the price of a company, in this case NIO, is manipulated by the big players. It talks about NIO but explains how the market mechanics work. How the big players steal your shares. Some crossover with the positions of NIO & CPI, in that they are both at the cusp of a turnaround. This by no means is me ramping another share, DYOR, but an effort to help for some here to understand the market better......

Update: make the 336p now....

Oh & Aim, you failed to tell us all that Bitcoin was up over 5% today......(so transparrent mate...lol)

Nice to see contract renewalls coming through & LinkedIn articles being posted. I think the company is gearing up, finally, to reward us LTH's. Upcoming TU will be interesting. The dread of the Reeves Budget seems to have been brushed off. 335p now is the highest since the spike in early October to c350p. Folks, do your own research and come to your own conclusions as to the future prospects of Capita. For me, i really feel we are eventually about to put the Lewis years in the rear mirror and Hernandez will transform Capita into a fantastic technology company.....

Other views are available.....all imho

....you forgot to 'recommend' those last two posts of yours Aim....imho
