Well it is the Internet and theres all sorts of things discussed , just got to dig to find it ! And iv found a good tool to find this info about NEX ;)

As fornthe negativity your right with everything you have said, however they still offer the service and I'd say around 15% is affected which is in the Midlands. There transit sector isn't by any means and you've only got to go on Trustpilot to read the reviews which are all recent, yeah there are the odd bad review however 80% are really positive. Seems like NEX use contractors more than we thought , but it isnt a bad thing as that means they can be flexible and have options , where the industry helps eachother out , NEX are obviously the big giant so we have our money in the right chest ! Maybe we valued them higher than what they are so now if the SP is true the only way is up from here.

especially the final post on Tuesday ;) Flix bus are not a threat whatsoever !

Take a read of this forum , seem to be some knowledgeable posts on there

The only news that we get is driver shortages. As for the merger there is no further news as of yet so im sure big time investors are super cautious ! that will be the reason. Need an official update asap , which in theory is happening on the 14th ! One piece of confirmed good news , i.e profit and this will rocket !

Think its the USA deal raising the national debt ceiling

Well everyone only speaks of National Express highly , well other than the odd disgruntled customer , and this is why. Seems like they have a fair few bob to throw around to improve the standards.

I have done some digging and found a new way to find all the latest NEX info on the web , anything positive or of concern i will post here.

Sounds like they have plenty of training for new drivers so hopefully this is solved real soon ! Iv seen an advert for a drivers job in the West Mids for £12.80 an hour, it isnt bad pay at all so im sure many people would jump at the chance to move across into a new career.

Just a thought. I find it funny how active the NEX share is , and I say this is for a reason , its easy to manipulate the price because its one of the most sort after stocks , so with all that activity guaranteed the big stock players can do exactly as they please, by both shorting and going long at exactly the right time. Once positive news comes out it will be so popular the SP will only go one way because of all the demand and the increase will be massive , blink and you will miss it.

This share price is unbelievable , we need answers soon ! real soon ! I suppose lack of updates means lack of confidence in the industry. Im averaging 240p and dont know if it will be worth adding to this share if theres a possibility something is wrong, however in reality travel is back and NEX are making a profit. They made 50million profit in lockdown so must be making much more profit now travel has opened up !

All i can think is that the buyers of low SP during covid times are all selling their profits, so once we have flushed them out again things will be on the up with new long term investors.

I'm with Ossingh here , he hit the nail on the head with the marketing point , when you have a brand like NEX with the logo plastered everywhere on coach stations , and even the official transport partner for Wembley stadium , airports and the adverts Internet(which is expensive and too costly for a startup company making a loss) thats where you pick up your bookings. Yeah Flix might offer a cheaper service , but the availability for one will be less , and also the reliability. If every coach is contracted with its driver there's going to be issues with loyalty , Flix squeeze the drivers even more and they will be gone elsewhere ( like what happened to many at Uber) for themselves no doubt. Also investors don't hang around for long , especially if Flix are known to be making a loss. With someone like NEX going around poaching contracts (the facts are there) , offering a far superior service considering availability and flexibility I think Flix will be concerned about competing so will stick to there own small routes, where NEX navigate the busiest road networks interlinking cities and major towns. The only reason why NEX has grown to what it is now is because they have proved superior to its smaller competitors.

I wouldn't worry about Flix bus , they are toy town compared to NEX. Just got to check out NEX destination booking on the website to see how many trips are sold out. Flix can get all excited about their one bus journey to France and back lol

Another awful day for this share , talk about a slog ! Was confident after finishing green on Friday by a healthy 4p. Now this , again.

Anyway , let's look at why we have invested in this stock , its because we can afford it , its better than seeing the money sat in a bank account doing absolutely nothing. I'm just going to sit on it and watch the SP do its thing. Travel is on the up, the company is performing well and looking to take over a rival. This time next year we will be sat on some nice profit. Take the rough with the smooth ! Looking forward to the update in a few weeks.

How do we access the American NEX website? Intrigued to check it out.

Let's look at it this way , this is definitely a long term hold , this time next year we will be looking at a stable 300sp after one or two positive results , just got to sit and ride this out. I'm averaging at 240p and thought we would be way past that now looking at where we were the other day at 260p , but obvs not the case so just got to sit tight. I'm really looking forward to the announcement at the end of Oct !

We have had a nice boost over the last few weeks so let's not be too negative here. We are all aware that NEX is a well run money making international business which can adapt to meet increased or reduced demand in order to meet profit margins , so with the positive news we have recently seen theres no need to doubt the direction which the company is going. I dare say with the decrease in value of SP in the last 2 days this will be down to profit takers who were fortunate to buy shares at give away prices 12 months ago. Now they have taken their money elsewhere this SP can only go one way, and thats up !

251p on Google that is

Shows 261p on HL but like you all have said I noticed the drop to 251p about 10 mins after market close. After such a strong finish today I will be gutted to see NEX open up at 251p tomorrow. We really need this momentum to continue.

And in the space of 2 hours the shares have rocketed up 7p from the dire low SP opening this morning. Someone has a bargain.

Also checked the UK NEX career website to see how many vacancies they had , there isn't too many whatsoever, and a few trainee bus driver positions so they certainly are advertising for the future. Its a good career which offers job security so I'm sure these will be filled accordingly and its nice to see NEX investing.
