So 234.5 p this morning. Housebuilder shares up on back on Barratts upgrades to profits. So me thinks it’s going back up 234.5 p , market having a down morning. Then up she goes more

Up 5-8% tomorrow, maybe? Who knows?
The Builders sector to shoot higher on Barratts trading update. Can only see Barratts with a great trading update but Watkin Jones has higher Beta so its shares will shoot up more. Maybe as Aim share there going to be a squeeze upwards more with big share price increase.

Watkins @ 230p to Buy now (mid morning). Tomorrow’s morning Open Price may shoot to around 236p. This is definitely going up now !

280-300p Coming. Share charts reversing. Higher Highs consistent now. Today open was 230p, tomorrow open maybe 234p. Tomorrow Barratts reports, should lift up Builders sector share prices & Watkin Jones will go up more as higher Beta. I did say 205p was lows so I was spot on. Never can tell but whole Watkins share chart reversing now. The housing sector is on heat, a recovery in Student Letts & feverish demand for Build to Rent property investments. Just look at takeover activity in the sector suggest undervaluation of share prices in Watkins niche sector. Watkins shares are totally undervalued, Jefferies broker price upped last month to 302p target price for Watkin Jones shares !

Take Over Bids Hotting Up:
GCP Student Living PLC (LON:DIGS) shares rose 9.9% to 186p after the company confirmed weekend press speculation that it has received a series of non-binding proposals for the entire issued share capital of the company, other than the shares held by funds managed by APG Asset Management. The approach has come from a consortium led by Scape Living PLC and iQSA Holdco Limited, who between them control around 11.1% of the real estate investment trust (REIT) that is focused on student accommodation in and around London. The REIT’s board let slip that after discussions with an independent consultant, it is anticipating a material increase in the quarter-end valuation of its properties.

Watkins shares rising to 226p highest price today. Now other housebuilders rose, then some profits taking. Watkins surprises upside, share charts turning up. This on back of 302p Jefferies broker price target.

Just wonder if someone will make a Takeover Bid for Watkin Jones. The shares are totally undervalued (302p Jefferies target now, next year maybe 480p). I can see a profits upgrade coming this year. The likes of Private Equity, Property Companies & Others can see this.
Sigma Capital was taken over a few weeks ago, £188 millions paid by a Private Equity Group. Sigma are a buy to rent residential specialist. I would not be surprised if Watkin Jones is being sized up for a Takeover Bid.

Watkins shares rising quickly. Investor confidence rising. Share trade volumes, trade sizes rising. Biggest BTR Birmingham project given planning go ahead now. So I could see a strong share price rise meaning 240p-250p shortly. On top Jefferies broker target prices upped to 302p just last week & Divi Payouts this week to push up shares buying.

Shares will push higher now.
Investors re-invest dividend payout coming next week.
Buy up Watkin shares at very low price (302p is Jefferies broker target). GLA

dcfn: That’s great, 302p Watkins Share Target Price
Seems Jefferies Upgraded Today (261p Previously)

Meaning Brokers now think Watkin Fair Value @ 270p-302p
Thank you for making me awares.

Watkin Jones Plc, Broker Targets
Latest share price targets are 260p - 280p range.

28-May-21. Numis. 270.00p. Buy
19-May-21 Jefferies. 261.00p Buy
18-May-21 Berenberg Bank 280.00p Buy
18-May-21 Peel Hunt Limited 278.00p. Buy

Bazzaman: Thank you for Jeffries broker insights. I can see BTR asset sell offs as so many would be interested in buying. That would crystallise shareholder gains in form of a Special Dividend I would hope & lift the share price to its true value. Still Watkins could £benefit from running & maintenance contracts as well. Lloyds Bank bought BTR flats last week for investment purposes. Then the house building partnership could bolster house building sales further & not drain BTR resources. So Watkins Capital Employed rises up even more. I can see the logic in Jeffries views & this should spark up the lagging share price.

Watkins Shares Going Up: Yesterday speculation, profits slicing I guess or selling out at loss. Market Makers taking share price down. Shaking the tree results as more sellers bailing out. Then price going to bottom out, maybe now as tested 205p & bounced up. Just hope good news soon. That should force up share price. Very undervalued share price, so wait it out.

Watkin Jones should rise strongly after hitting lows last week. These shares are totally mispriced, undervalued especially in a red hot property market which has Pandemic stimulus accelerating property prices further up. Share price falls will reverse moving up to 240’s - 260’s pence share price. Anything can happen to kick up this share price so keep sharp eyes.

I see activity with Takeover Bid for Sigma today, the buy to rent residential specialist. I would not be surprised if Watkin Jones is being sized up for a Takeover Bid. The Watkins family are no longer big majority shareholders & they got little interest in running the business. Buy to rent has huge growth & underpinned by cash cow earnings from student accommodation lets. See below for Sigma details:

Aim-listed Sigma Capital Group, a residential development and urban regeneration property specialist, said on Friday it had agreed a £188m offer to take the company into private equity hands.

Shares in the company soared 34.6% to 200.5p after its board announced in a filing to London Stock Exchange it had agreed terms on the recommended offer by private equity firm PineBridge Benson Elliot of 202.1p a share, which values Sigma at £188.4m.

The 202.1p offer price represented a 35.6% rise over Thursday's closing price, the day before the agreement was announced, and a 37.1% premium over the weighted average share price of 147.5p over the three months to 10 June.

Sigma said that as part of a strategic review it was exploring ways of funding its future growth and decided a private sale would bring the best combination of growth opportunities and value for shareholders.

Investor0109: I agree 260-300 pence Watkin Jones share price I would say at the next results. This share price will rise a lot on any positive company news updates including before company results.

There is likely to be a profit upgrade coming. This 2020 Pandemic year now behind us. Most property companies reporting surge in sales & profits for 2021. So Will Watkin Jones. No reason why these shares are being dumped recently. The Watkin’s family sold their stake again because they needed cash for their own property venture. So not a profits warning, totally undervalued share price (Price Earning at 10, others rated P/E: 16-20) & re-read of company results suggest strong pipeline of sales ahead with new business sign offs in the works. I would think a company update will send shares upwards towards 240p’s pence again. A Takeover Bid may come about as unlocks company value. I would be buying shares at these low prices. Aside Investor Chronicle has Buy rating with 275p target. They keep on updating target prices like other brokers, shares analyst & I would think this price brings them back in line with current market value. So 275p share price is seen low in 12-18 months time again & expect 350p price targets. I’m buying more shares with an upheld dividend yield for income.

Discgolfer: Watkin Jones shares have been bid down. These shares I feel will sharply reverse on upside. Just takes positive news from the company. The CEO, Management team have big share stakes, they got sufficient interest to get share price up. Totally agree a good time for someone to make a Takeover Bid. Property prices are still going up lots, big shortages in housing & student demand still rising. Now record low interest rates financing & Covid, Recovery shares stumbling with higher valuations & full quick economic recovery in doubt. So I wonder when a Takeover Bid will come about. Nevertheless a undervalued share price & sustained dividend is a great plus.

230p by days finish reckon. Maybe fully recoup price falls in a couple of days trading, some shares profit taking likely. I will not sell my shares, 275p Watkins price target says Investor Chronicle. That is underestimate as profit & sales upgrades coming for 2021 after pandemic hit sales of last year !
