15.35 @ 20.84 presumably late clearing last Thursday? Interesting it set the SP close. Whats going on there, anyone?

I am not an accountant but rather than pay down more debt, cant they buyback shares. That would improve eps.
Happy to see 153% upside. Could go higher if there is a bid now the transformation is complete imo
Thanks NOFEAR. In this article, 'the value of the (Woodford) fund is now £141mn, and it still holds shareholdings in Atom Bank, Benevolent AI, Drayson, Mafic, Nexeon, Origin, RM2, Rutherford Healthcare and Sabina Estates'. CPI appears to have cleared.

Crowman, it's a problem. Great wealth can change people. I'm not going to let it change me. £1 imo
Anyone know why the £3m buy midday doesnt show on this site? Can see in the stock exchange data
PIs taking full advantage and buying the dip!
Thanks NF. So, between 42p and 70p taking all brokers together,.
Consensus is c 59p.
shorters are peanuts in the grand scheme of things
'Looks like they will RNS the pipeline to underpin the recovery.'
Thats my view too. If they continue a positive newsflow about the pipeline a tipping point will quickly be reached. SP shouldnt be 21p
The Government has promised to invest £39 billion in health and social care over the next three years as a result of the tax increase, which came into effect on Wednesday.

'think there are a lot of tracker funds that own chunks of this'
True. But the likes of BlackRock Thematics now calling out a bifurcation driven by costs makes me think they want to own CPI in a different fund with high risk reward. Just my idle speculation of course.
'current ratio of 0.5'
Yes need H1 reporting to reconfirm the turnaround reported in the 2021 FY report.
Its laid out they are paying down debt (another £215m in Aug) underpinned by revolving credit facility so I dont really see a working capital problem.
Looking forward to seeing a contract win RNS in the meantime. That would reconfirm also.
The SP could move sideways for a while/ low 20s range or it might just takeoff as it has in the past.
If CPI has turned around, 21p is not the going to be around for long imo
Anyone notice large volumes being reported each day with 7am timestamps and previous day prices. Started after Tuesdays spike?
April fools day tomorrow. Under 20p would be an april fools joke, surely?
'CPI has reduced headline net debt to adjusted ebitda pre IFRS 16 from 2.7x (2020) to 1.7x (2021) and have targeted 1.0x over the medium term.'
It's taken along time to turn this around and the reporting metrics continue to improve YoY. I hope this is the bottom and will hang on for the ride back up whatever it takes
Thank you Cesna, very useful and now on my radar. I am catching up with the year end reporting this weekend. How the SP has got so low?, but thats supply and demand I suppose.

'was gonna go all in just below £5. win some lose some..'
I tried to go all in but was only able to buy small tranches from 504. If it all blows over, £7 is still a great price. I cant wait 2 years though
