And actually.
Instead of moaning on here to about 20 people, why not take a look at the words of Mr Vs bonus.
Quick read looks alright right?
But best dig deeper and ask which EPS it's based on.
Then you won't be happy.
Email investor relations. I did.

Well its livened up a bit anyway...!!
Metom. I'm not a "cleaver" person. That would be a Butcher. I'm a Civil Engineer. What will I be doing? I'll be sitting tight. And in reference to following posts, and with a tick up to littlegrandma, I have posted before re the length of a typical Costain project life cycle. Bad jobs won a long time back take a long time to work through. That's the industry. I have worked in it for 38 years. Prev CEO jumped. 2 horse race for current CEO. Wrong man wins. I have always said that. But anyone who thinks that anybody 2 years in post will already be showing results in heavy civils doesn't understand how these projects report and how they are run. The City will have preferred the other guy and we would be higher. Sorry but that's how it is. SO you either believe in something-maybe a takeover, or you wait it out. Or you in your case sell and make it back four fold by buying CINE by the 31st . But you won't do that cos its just posting innit? Yesterdays news.
Re the cash. We know its going to go down because of H and P. We will see. That may prompt a bid if it happened not least from the UAE investor.
They may be winning higher margin work, though me and Slave would probably prefer if they were doing good 'ol heavy civils, but you won't see the money for another 2 years.
It's all good for the craic huh?

Does it ever occur to you that posting it as a strong sell may not be helping you get out?
If you actually own any of course....
And if you do...well, as you reckon CINE will be 2 quid by the end of the month, why not put it in there? Money where mouth is and all of that...?:)

Agreed Slave. That's why i'm relaxed and have been increasing.
If the CEO goes, it goes up.
If an offer is made it goes up.
And when the results are in, who knows lol.

Banbury/Rupans,
Agree with Rupans with RDH, no external takeover.
The thing I am mulling is how it going to get driven up to the prices most on here would like to see. There was an interesting article in the Sunday Times yesterday re how the FTSE has underperformed vs the Dow, and this was blamed on the Brit obsession with Dividends. Will a dividend be restored?
SO what do we think here? We have had one fund reduce. No new holdings notices... Does it need more funds buying/increasing? Or will it go anyway? SO much trading for 50-100% gains now, need someone mopping them up if 6 quid is reaching and held...

At a party round No 10...
Dont tell anybody

PS
Best not to just now anyway-I am told that the wholesale or whatever insurance costs are thought to be at the top of the cycle at the moment. Could be good news for us over the next few years if we can shift a few now mind.

Because some people, for some things, like certainty. eg Look at the gas price...
That extra over looks a bit fruity for me though!

?
LTI we were locked down for part of that period and travel was severely restricted .
The current deaths (of whatever cause but with a positive test)are set against a far higher number of cases that earlier in the year. And the more mild cases we have, the more that figure could be, especially through the usual winter peak..
I know of a business where 25 people got infected just before Xmas and the worst they had were cold like symptoms, no-one seriously ill.
We've just got to get on with it now.

Hi Robleo.
Sorry to hear that.
Assuming that you mean long term holders as going back to IPO days then probably not that many. I've been in since March 2020, post goodwill write down loss years and Covid downgrades.
When you say previous prices, I assume that you actually mean previous Market Cap, as there has been the share issue and consolidation since then. SO in terms of that I think most on here would be aiming for a return to a market cap of 1Bn again. I think that is target for most, though Millionaire may want 2! Eminently achievable I would say.
Might still be worth buying a few this morning, though clearly when it was below 2 would have been more efficient!

Slow,
What Banbury said.
And we don't want any possibility of the chat turning to the little red ball do we??

NCLH and CCL having a decent day so far across the pond...seem to be shrugging off the travel advice from the US last week.
Hopefully common sense will break out again shortly.
Lets hope for a decent run now.

Banbury, seasons greetings also.
But what I was getting at is that is there not a clause on the ship payment deferrals that precludes a divi until the arrears are caught up? I was mulling when that might be.
Well if February is as bright as you think then we shall all be getting on it in York at some point. Cheers for that!

Hi Banbury, positive as ever!
So assuming that stays as the look forward for a couple of years, when do you think a divi will re start bearing in mind the repayment conditions?
I know some people think divi is irrelevant, but to make the price stick higher, we need some institutions to up their stakes and reduce free float I think.

Nice one Smort! Bless the late boiler delivery. Classy.
Too busy at the moment. Revisiting old student haunts in Leeds.

Yeah nothing to add really.
Have been engaged with increasing holding at Theresa Mays local builder. Another where patience required. I did mull a Saga Xmas re-lyric-what dya reckon Smort?
I believe in Father De Haan?
I looked to the screen with excited eyes,
Hallelujah, Roger, be it Omi or Delta
The shareprice we get we deserve..

Maybe not.
Have a good one y'all!

Have a great day fella! You'll need your drinking head on when we meet in York I think!

slave, where are you now? Give a concrete farmer a cryptic clue??

Well he's not going to be walking anywhere until he's collected his 3 year low bar EPS target bonus is he?
At least the line is drawn and we get a proportion back. If yer man has any sense, then he'll deliver a little something on this in March. Its one of his jobs after all.....

Cheers RichieRich3.
The schedule on here issued last week said the 7th. Must have slid it a bit.
