Trisor - The answer is simple - start making a genuine profit and stick to the plan, report with honesty and accuracy. Oh and it would be a good idea if AH stopped writing sh*te on Linked In!

Gents - very amusing and descriptive posts, the farm analogy is a good one. It's true though, unless AH has a workable plan that translates into making CPI a profit making concern it will go nowhere. Granted the price, at the moment, is not truly reflective of the companies worth, but the market is dictating that. I just want to see concrete evidence of a constructive action and not just the spin that JL has been regurgitating for the last 6 years. No more smoke and mirrors, evidence!

Well said GoCPI, its evidence that will move this stock forward and not the ususal spin and false unsustanciated promotion that the company has been indulging in for the last few years. I also think that there is a hangover from the news re the cyber attack and, even given the consistently poor performance, Im slightly surprised that this weighs heavily on the company. Granted the IC has not made any noises regarding if a fine is to ne levied, but if you look at how other, and more serious, breaches have been dealt with then I cant see this being a problem for CPI now.

ar ha looks like another day of shareholder value going into reverse, not a word from the new ceo yet, he’s probably got his work cut out serving up the board and jl coffee and biscuits! oh and then there’s all the **** they’ve created over the last 5 years or so to clear up!

Whats happening today? The new CEO is weaving his magic and being waited on by JL, serving up the fines South American coffee from the new uber coffee machine he got the board to invest in!

Good to se the new CEO has had a positive impact on the share price (not). Give him a chance I hear you all say - absolutely, but its getting harder and harder to be patient. Just a little upside would be nice.

It’s the new CEO’s charisma that has set the price alight. Only joking, he’s probably having a coffee and a briefing from JL on how not to create share holder value.

Thanks for letting us know, how much are you looking to put in? and congratulations on being one of the very few who have got some spare cash to chuck at this.

@HHH81. - just filter out NO FEAR then you won’t feel the need to waste your valuable time. Simples

Potentially impacting words from our new leader, I'm looking forward to seeing him translate his grand works into meaningful action that actually creates value for my investment which, like many other, is showing a 6 figure paper loss at the moment. Good luck if your still on the ship!

The new CEO has made an impact already - I bet he's having a coffee and chat with JL about all the value thats been created for the shareholders during his tenure! Whilst AH has not noticed that the share price has opened lower this morning! I wonder it CPI will issue an RNS later to say that he actually made it into the building? Maybe he's seen the light and walked

For those of you who continually play 'banter tennis' with Aim & NOFEAR, whilst professing to state this is a serious and informative comment board - why dont you just block seeing their comments? Its often stated by a number of individuals that neither of them (assuming they are not the same person) have anything of value to contribute, yet you still respond to the sh*te and drivel they post. It squite easy just filter them out!

Looks like a jumped up newly qualified solicitor is leading the ambulance chasing charge. A group class action would, if successful, set a very dangerous precedent. It will fail I’m sure.

Anyone able to shed light on the reason for the 6+% drop in early trading this morning?

As expected a slow start to the new year. In relation to CPI, I guess we are waiting for the new CEO to start on the 17th. Whilst I don't expect any fireworks re the share price I would expect a positive response from the market around his arrival. Whilst there are a numer of potentially possitive factors that may come into play (as mentioned by many others), I do think the really interesting one will be around his experience of AI and how this can be translated into cost savings and greater efficiencies.

@ Eatstocks - "With the current AI shift we could get better than someone from AWS in charge" - Who would you like to see then a sthe new CEO?

TU delivered and it was, as predicted. Personally, I like the fact that the update is consistent with what CPI have been projecting in recent months and there were no nasty surprises. It does seem that 2025 is the year when the company, setting aside anything else that the new CEO does in terms of cost reduction, really starts to deliver for the shareholders. Any costs associated with cyber, pension and redundancies all dealt with in 2024, the value from the current contracts and their delivery will put the comany into a position of sustained profitability.

Mid single digit margin would suggest greater than 5%, based on current revenues being just under 3 billion, thats a projection of 150 million (or there abouts). We are then talking dividend reinstatement etc. This share is a medium to long term hold and thats the only way to look at it in my view (thats always been the case for the last few years unless you have taken losses). There will be no fireworks and anyone who expects significant rises in the short term would be well advised to look for other opportunities.

@JG68 - I couldnt agree more with your last post. No one wants to invest in the UK and any and any IPO's are being listed elsewhere. Blame who, and what circumstance, you choose, but the economy has been flatlining for years now and there are no signs of recovery, despite stocks being at record lows.

I'm still optimistic regarding CPI, but its getting a bit wearing and I just hope some factual news pointing in the right direction prevails on Thursday.

@ Broomtree - Thanks for that, and your comment re including debt as a working capital expense is useful and concurs with my thoughts as well. Be interesting to see how the trading statement this week impacts on the price. All the recent anouncements hopefully indicate that its steady state and as forecast.

Did anyone see the City AM article on Friday? It mentioned the high debt level, which I'm struggling to get my head round - in terms of what this actually means. I've tried to research the various contituents of what makes up the current debt pile and I'm still unclear. If anyone out there has a grasp on exactly what this includes, for example liabilities on leased building (and for how long), I'd be greatful to gain a rational and factual undertsanding. Thanks.
