Lordy2020 - Thanks for finally confirming CPI is indeed an "old dino' of a company" - your words, not mine but... this is precisely why I opted against investing in CPI upon analysing its financials and the strategy.... because CPI could very well go extinct. Time is absolutely critical and I'm not yet certain CPI will be able to escape the annihilation risk, even with it's new age wonder boy AH at the helm. The UK macroeconomic recovery could land just a little too for CPI to survive.

Lordy2020 - Rich and compelling words from you there... You seem to lack rational argument/opinion and I guess when you can't get your way you resort to shouting & dishing out insults.

I see the early buzz this morning on the back of the RNS for CPI is now petering out this afternoon, presumably as the penny drops that today's announcement is a lovely bit of PR but it lacks substance. Meanwhile CPI keeps on bleeding sales and cash.

TerryM1 - your description of Starmers Labour party as being Socialist demonstrates you really lack political awareness. Perhaps Maggie stole your milk when you were a wee whipper snapper?

Trisor - "Any investor voting for a Labour government is voting for their own demise" - HAHAHA, just look at the last 14yrs of Tory + Coalition rule and you'll find the only party that's caused investors immense pain are the current Tory occupiers squatting in No.10. Get in the Bin! Roll on July 4th!

CPI can only find a supportive UK economy for it's business with a Labour Gov in office.

Trisor - Given you have "major doubts about what Labour would do"... well their Manifesto is out today so perhaps you could go and take a look at that? Maybe if you spent more time reading than you do peddling mistruths (like you were saying/suggesting "Are you ITK? Do you work for Capita or have worked with Capita?") then you might learn something?

TerryM1 - Great, then given you did not vote for them in 2019 then I'm sure you too will also be pleased to see them turfed out from No.10 on July 4th.

Terry - you stated "you will see I have no love for this tory government." - So I ask you this, did you vote Tory in the 2019 GE?

Trisor - I have never worked for or with Capita... Look peddle your conspiracy theories but know this... I read the financials for CPI and considered the wider macroeconomics and sadly there's nothing favourable for CPI, in my opinion, and this is a discussion board for sharing opinions. It really is that simple! I considered investing in CPI, I continue to give it consideration but at the moment I'm investing in other stocks, just not CPI for the time being.

Terry states "There are so many scary things that can/will happen under Labour."... Terry have you been under a rock for the last 14yrs? Have you stopped for just a moment to take a look around you, at what's happened to UK under this Tory Shower?

Even your own investment wealth has seen destruction, through the pain CPI has suffered via a stagnant UK economy. You said yourself about NHS waits and chaos... Yet you don't seem to grasp that you voted for these Tories that have caused these successive crises?! Get in the bin! Roll on July 4th which cannot come soon enough!

Terry - you seem to have memory loss - I was crystal clear about my interest in CPI when you initially began questioning me. I came on here as I was eyeing it up as a potential stock, for me to make an investment into. However, the more I learned about CPI the more I was put off by everything I read into and in the end I opted to put my cash into BT, as from what I saw I reckoned on that equity performing considerably better. Now I still have more cash I could pipe into taking on a CPI stake but I doubt I'll do so anytime soon. Today's RNS is a PR veneer with little of any substance underneath and in my view things will continue to get worse, I don't think CPI has hit the bottom yet.

AimMaster2018 - Do share, how's the BT short you placed working out?

GoCPI - by all means GP ahead and short BT... I dare you to try it! 👌

TUI no longer available to trade on HL platform it seems. I didn't buy back into Tui in the end as I've opted to buy up more BT instead... Best of luck all, I imagine this chat page will be shutdown at somepoint imminently, as TUI departs the LSE.

Lots of hypotheticals stated with this announcement and plenty helpings of positive spin heaped on here too! Aside from that this is a bit of a no news day... yes, for investors it must be refreshing that AH is actually doing something... only time will tell if the cost savings and efficiencies deliver to help the bottom line. Meanwhile the revenues keep on falling, as do the profits... could we see CPI dip close to or even below £2bn revenue generation within the FY ahead?

Terry- you're a mis-guided fellow, too much Tory propaganda you have read... the financial crisis of 2007-09 had its roots in the USA and UK real estate, sub-prime borrowers had been granted huge loans they could not service. Labour's Blair/Brown government's had not overspent but... they did have to use state funds to bail out the economy and repair the damage which reckless bankers had caused. As for Callaghan Gov back in the 70's well they had to fix the mess the prior Tory Government had caused with the reckless dash for growth budget. Fortunately, we'll soon have a grown up Lab Gov back in charge again - Labour manifesto out today. After the last 14yrs of serious economic mis-management, sleaze & outrageous theft from the public purse the end of the Tory party cannot come soon enough!

As for CPI... it's struggled, as many other firms have too under this rotten Tory regime.

AimMaster2018 - I understand... it's no doubt very difficult coming to terms with the substantial loss you're sitting on with your CPI investment decisions, and perhaps other heavy losses you might also have racked up? However, I've been transparent when it comes to explaining my trading since Dec 2022 and my explanations as to why I think CPI will not make any substantial recovery anytime soon.

AimMaster2018 - I think you're a rather confused soul... yes, some profits from my trading, since Dec 22, went towards my share of our house deposit... and yes, I am invested in BT but these are two entirely separate things. Should BT dip I will add more to my current holdings... House is already paid for, BT SP can do whatever it likes as it's not connected in any way to the house purchase.

I'm sure AH will tell a lovely dandy story tomorrow, about how the future holds great wealth and opportunity for CPI.... peer beyond the PR veneer, to see underneath the bonnet and you may just find the chassis is rusted out and the gearbox is wrecked... leaving CPI stuck in 1st gear for the race with it's competitors.

In order to pay CGT it fundamentally requires that you make some gains on your capital.... Rate of CGT matters not if you've no gains. Given CPI revenues have been falling for ~7yrs and CPI losses keep on growing I fail to see how you're going to net any tangible gains... Though this is largely the fault of some here who voted the current incumbents into office, the reason UK economy is doing so badly is that it's been epically mis-managed by this Tory shower.

Even on hypotheticals, if Labour were to raise CGT (they've not said either way), then if they create the macro conditions which support UK economic growth you could at least be in with a chance of making some gains on your capital... gains on which CGT would be due.

Broomtree - The most predictable things are the falling CPI revenues, their growing losses and number of data security breaches... the update tomorrow is unlikely to bring any immediate relief.
