We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I think the announcement of a return of dividend in January would give a great boost. It would also tie in with the new waterfront service provider contract (Devonport) renewal which is worth a number of billions. This is due to be public knowledge around January. I think the boat they are referring to is the V-boat submarine that seems to be taking so long to refit.
I think you have hit the nail on the head with “I think the BOD were a bit weak”. Why they have such poor communications with shareholders is beyond me. They have watched the SP tank and tank without any form of statement that would reassure investors. Just a strong statement would help give people comfort that all is not rotten in the company. As for the shorting - you are right that this is being heavily manipulated by the big players and MMs - shorting a company should be banned like in other countries as far as I’m concerned!!
You would think that there would be lots of director deals going on at these lows, gobbling up shares for circa £2.30. Makes me worry that they can see a darker future......
Oversold. Crazy times. Chance to pick up a bargain I guess.
Can one of you knowledgable folk explain what this share transfer to spouse is for please. Some form of tax relief?
Thank you in advance.
Totally agree. If we see a pop back over £3 it will be a shock if it dipped back below that again. All I worry about is any defence cuts announcement. What I do know however is that there has been a safety net cast by the MoD to say that they will pay for Bab**** operational costs during lockdown on a non profit making basis. This leads me to believe that the Q2 will not be as bad as many many o other companies. Could be a good news story?
They are unlikely to give earnings advice when the full extent of the impact is not know. I know that there has been a zero profit agreement for the MoD to pay all operation costs during the lockdown. That may make the Q2 results seem surprisingly positive to those not in the know? Agreed 100, If dividends were to stay this would be very positive And encourage additional share buying. Very interesting times.
Well said 100. Totally agree to be fair. Just didn’t know if they had actually officially announced their position on the dividend payment. Haven’t delved too much into it but couldn’t see anything quickly.
Have they released an RNS to say the dividends have been cancelled. Must have missed that? Thought it was still unsettled.
That’s because things are looking gloomy today.......
You are very special lol. I love fishing for you on here. You never let me down, thank you. Good luck today. Not looking good......
So you’re not aloud to invest if you are nervous? (corrected your spelling BTW). That is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen posted lol. You’re telling me that the likes of Warren Buffet Jim Cramer et al have never been nervous when investing? Come off it!
Oh wow. Just seen that. What happened there! Must have missed something. What a shame. At least it’s not a bab**** specific drop which makes it easier to swallow.
Shame it gave up some of its gains but a blue day nevertheless. Will tomorrow bring more cheer for this share? Pop it back over that £3 mark? Who knows, GLAH
I’m expecting a blue day today. FTSE 50pts up since close. Employee share buying scheme buys its monthly subscription tomorrow. Some big buys went in late last night, £100K+ Hopefully get out of this downtrend. GLAH
3300,
Be surprised if she went bust. Have to admit it’s looking tasty a those lows!! Market cap nearly a quarter of its 4.5 billion revenue!!
Makes zero sense to me!
No truer word said.
The market reacted well to his appointment because BAB.L raised 4-5% that very day? I don’t think the retrace is a bab**** related issue personally. I think it’s the wider picture of the state of the world causing these lows. But that my own opinion of course. Any news of MOD spending cuts would be very detrimental but don’t think that has even been sniffed at YET! What’s your opinion on a sub £3 buy in? Seems undervalued to me with its healthy order book as it stands. Just watching in the sidelines at the moment.
Micky, just for my understanding. If you believe they are more than happy to go bankrupt (done 9 times previous) then why would they have carried out the most recent fund raise? Not trying to cause friction, it just doesn’t make much sense to me why they would have bother with the fund raise? Perhaps I’m lacking understanding of the process. Any advice would be appreciated.
