@Smartinvestment Surely easier just to tell me 😉😆

@Smartinvestment Sharing is caring! What’s this other Aim share?

Game changer here would be if they got bought out by one of the big guns like Unilever or Proctor and Gamble! Imagine waking up to that? 😎🥳

@MrBrian28 Thank you. That’s very interesting. This means the market value of current FTSE 250 companies must have tumbled this last few months?

I was just looking at what the share price needs to be for Capita to become a FTSE 250 Company. These are three possible scenarios and it might not be far away!

Entry bubble and highly dependent on other companies dropping down: Market Cap of £500 million (£4.39 per share).

Estimated FTSE 250 Floor. Typical historical baseline for the smallest FTSE 250 firms: Market Cap of £572 million (£5.02 per share).

Safe Zone. Almost guarantees crossing the automatic promotion threshold: Market Cap of £650 million (£5.70 per share).

@shorty39 probably because he/she is a **** 😎

41% increase since the £2.80 share price a month ago!

Interesting to see the trolls 🧌 have crawled back under their rocks while the SP has been enjoying this surge… 🪨🤡🪨

£3.90 open…. 😎☀️👌 Come on £4.00

Be interesting to see if momentum continues this week for Capita!

I keep reading this sentence: Capita is forecast to grow earnings by 59.6%! All the other 🐂💩is just white noise.

They’ll be bumps in the road until the shorters leave but LTHs will eventually win this battle.

Don’t you ever sleep @AimMaster2018? Must have been up all night erecting the Big Top 🎪 ready for the Bank Holiday weekend 🤡🤡 It’s gonna be hot and sweaty in that tent and tight black rubber suit — hope your face paint doesn’t run to much!

Sensible words @MaxJH Have a good one 👌

Notice the absence of clowns today? 🤡🤡🎪 Circus is busy ready for Bank Holiday. Enjoy your weekend.

@Heatseeker77 OldAlarvian and I know each other from a previous life 🤣 I didn’t know it was him until a message popped up on my phone! He alerted me to Capita when it was north of 40p old money and heading towards 60p - then it all went t!ts up 🫣🫣

Hopefully this is the real deal this time 🥳🥳

@OldAlarvian Good advice mate. I have hedged a few as I see a small reset coming before we move on to new highs. If it pushes on then still a win 🏆

Cheers @Trisor @JordiMendes 😘😁

Yes there may be bumps in the road ahead and I am sure we’ll have another retrace at some point but the Capita turnaround is almost complete. The unions and lefties will continue to moan about the Civil Service Pension Scheme but they will moan about everything because that’s what socialists do! But Capita inherited a pile of crap and once it is sorted and integrated into their AI model, it will become the benchmark for future contract wins!

I have hedged a few, bought on the dips, averaged down when I can and occasionally taken some profit. There is no hard and fast rule when it comes to holding Capital shares. It’s been frustrating these last five years but I do truly believe the turnaround is almost complete and elevation to the FTSE 250 and dividends will see this fly. Good luck all. Enjoy your sunny ☀️ 😎 bank holiday!

** Not the resident clowns 🤡🤡🎪 and those shorting. They can f**k off! 😘

@Trisor @Heatseeker77 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for your words of wisdom @YTeeBack

You must have spent hours researching that incredible analysis 👀🤣🤣🤣

Share Price Predictions:

As a value-driven, activist-style investor, Staveley structures his targets around operational milestones rather than speculative short-term price tags, but his timeline and return expectations are explicitly mapped out:

Short-Term Horizon (2026 Catalysts):

Staveley and his team categorized Capita as one of their "Big in 2026" holdings. The short-term expectation is that the heavy lifting and prior structural actions taken by Capita's management will visibly manifest in the company's profit and loss (P&L) statements over the course of 2026. As these operational improvements and positive free cash flows stabilize, the market is expected to progressively recognize and re-rate the depressed share price.

Long-Term Horizon (3 to 5 Years):

For all core holdings in the Rockwood Strategic portfolio, Staveley's overarching philosophy is a 3-to-5-year timeline aiming to deliver a minimum of 100% upside (2x money)

Richard Staveley, the lead fund manager of Rockwood Strategic, views Capita plc (LSE: CPI) as a core, high-conviction turnaround play. The position sits firmly within Rockwood's top ten holdings, accounting for roughly 8.4% to 9.5% of the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV).

The specific investment thesis and price expectations driving his strategy break down as follows:

Deep Operational Under-Valuation: Staveley targets deeply undervalued companies where clear self-help can unlock value. He noted that despite a massive historical fall from grace, Capita still delivers roughly £2.4 billion in sales against a heavily discounted market capitalisation, indicating massive structural mispricing.

Margin Recovery & Resolution of Legacy Issues: The core of the thesis rests on operational turnaround, cost-reduction, and margin-improvement initiatives. A major driver is the resolution of prior missteps, such as clearing up loss-making contracts and addressing the "problem child" private-sector unit within its Contact Centre division.

Insulated from Macro Shocks: Staveley has highlighted that Capita's success is largely independent of broader UK economic growth or global tariff anxieties. Its recovery depends almost entirely on internal execution—whether management can successfully deliver on restructuring and operational efficiency, which he believes they can.
