Yes - back on an uptrend leaving all the resident idiots on platform £2.25 again ..... when will they learn that the train is never returning to that platform again?

Onwards and upwards and hopefully breakout again over £3.40 soon (or if we get any more good news)

@adam - I'm as bullish as you on CPI but I do have a little concern on how the December trading update will be received ....

I'm hoping the market haven't priced in too much expectation (like they did last year) but what's really going to be important is the forward guidance .... we've already announced we are still on track (in the RNS that confirms the ICO fine) but it would be nice - for once - to EXCEED expectations.

I agree the days for trading this are fast disappearing and those who continue to do this (you know who you are) are very likely to miss the rerate.

20p old money (on what we already know) is a good entry - waiting for 15p again is surely a fools errand?

This used to be a fabulous forum that offered beleaguered long term Capita investor both information and hope that the turn around was progressing as promised (by JL and later by AH).

Now it's turned into - well I don't know what it's turned into - but the amount of dross and negative information posted by those who MAY be currently short (@aim and @cabbage plus a few others) have destroyed everything that was good.

Of course - when the SP drops low enough - the "hobby shorters" will buy back in and then we get even more dross on how wonderful things are

The Lloyds board used to be like this during COVID and it didn't help any genuine investors.

I know I can green box the idiots - but I'd rather the idiots just went away!

What the hell is going on? Bizarre or what?

I would like to see a strong rebound from here now - I've no idea what games are being played .... but it's damn frustrating

@rolex - yes you corrected me on the chat forum and I agree it does state that UBS hold 0 CPI shares and their sale - together with the large share overhang that it would create - is almost certainly the reason why we have moved for £3.50 / £3.60 early Monday morning to near enough £3 today.

The breakout looked rock solid (before the UBS sell down) so I would expect it to move back up as the UBS shares are absorbed into the market

I've just added some more at these bargain prices!

@shorty - put me down for a steady £3.30 close of play today - I bought some more on the drop to £3.22 can't believe we are still this low!

@heat - having listened to RS yesterday - I think AH is right to carefully time the announcement of the termination of the £20m evergreen noose.

I always thought it might be expensive to lose this last customer (which is the reason why it hasn't been sorted out already) - but even I hadn't considered a £100million cost!

So - announce FCF -;demonstrate turn around is complete - perhaps announce a further £50m cost saving program AND adding the £100m to the debt pile (to terminate that last customer) looks to be the right approach!

A blind RNS announcing a £100m increase in debt wouldn't be well received without the other stuff in place first!

@bazworth - I agree RS remains positive and the opportunity does look great for future years - which is why, like RS, I'm still holding here .... I'm just not holding as many as I was ... and like RS said. ... We might live to regret that decision.

SP has been pretty flat over the summer and is reliant on news / more sales / and the large order from Musk didn't really shift the dial here very much which probably means we are at around fair market value at the moment

I'll keep a watchful eye and will definitely add more if we drop from here

Good to hear RS so bullish here suggesting that the Government business alone is worth £1billion and the pension business a further £250million.

So we are buying assets valued at £11 a share (£1.25 billion divided by 113m shares) - for £3.34 per share ....

I think that pretty much summaries the upside potential here ..... I sold my FTC position to add some more here and I'm now up to 107,500 shares ...

Looking forward to this rebounding back through £3.40 tomorrow

I sold quite a few today as I bought on the recommendation of RS and as he's sold half (after always advocating that you let your winners run) - I felt I should reduce my holding too.

I may live to regret it - but I bought here because of RS so it seemed sensible to sell some now too.

£3.80 for me although I think @Trisors call of £3.75 may prove better!

@daltry - I was looking at a hedge when we sat around £3.20 last week but, as I reflected, I considered that £3.20 was just too cheap so I actually added £2500 more - about 770 odd shares - and I posted I had topped up at the time.

I'm now foolishly holding 83,180 shares in an ISA and a further 22,600 shares in my trading account.

I've been waiting for this for a long time so I'm not really in any rush to sell ANY - As Richard Staverly says "you've got to let your winners run".

I'm not a buyer at these levels - even though within 3/6 months they will no doubt look cheap - but I'm not a seller either .....

We may get some short term volatility early this week - but the way it rose to late £3.60s on Friday afternoon gives me faith we are going to see £4 or more in short order (as long as we don't get a major black swan event).

As someone else said - this was gearing up to breakout at £3.40 anyway - about to make it's 3rd and final attempt - when the civil service pension news just sent it over the edge!

Can't wait for next week! Hope you are still holding @daltry and haven't gambled it all away over at CDL?

@aim - Definitely not double top this time around - as I said before - things have changed here now and you will need to adapt accordingly.

There is every possibility this will fly on Monday (with or without a Trump tweet re: China over the weekend) as this remains massively undervalued (even when you look back a year or two).

My advice - for what it's worth - get on board if we back test £3.40 as this is heading over £4 now and it's got to be £4.50 or higher by year end (assuming December update is on track).

I've waited nearly 5 and a half years for this - and still holding 105,000 shares (new money) - I am enjoying every second of it!

@aim - very short term then maybe US events will hold this back BUT in any other time frame NOTHING is going to stop this now ...

I'm not predicting another RR (as that was unprecedented) but I do think we will see multiples of where we are now.

The world view and sentiment has changed - you need to accept that change and modify your own trading accordingly.

I know I ribbed you earlier about trading the bull flag - that flag has been obvious for days .... but I think you missed your opportunity AGAIN

What I want to know is where is @Savage and @Aim on days like these ... ?

Ha I almost expected @Aim to pop up as we breached £2.40 to say they were going to trade the bull flag and were in for a quick 20p trade .... then another message 20 minutes later confirming they had made another £30,000 on the trade.

Well done to all long term holder who have kept their nerve and lets hope we can build from here!

Will this be the momentum to break out above £3.40 ...

I think we are about to find out!

@phil - got to be a leak surely - far too perky - far too quickly!

I'm not complaining .... just saying!

Given that the public sector account for almost 70% of our business - it's really good (in fact it's mandatory) to be brown nosing and schmoozing with government ministers and anyone that influences them.

I was heartened that we chose Blair's son to establish the AI university inside Capita and it's fantastic news that AH gets the invite to India

It means we are cutting through and will be in line to bid for (and probably win) AI led BPO contracts as they become available.

AH continues to execute with aplomb and that, over time, will rocket boost our investment here.

@Trisor - I couldn't believe (or understand) why the bull flag @ £3.20ish yesterday didn't hold - so I decided to top up again as I'm convinced we will break £3.40 sooner rather than later ...

@aim - usually calls this share right (and I usually call it wrong) but I believe sentiment is returning and it was interesting that even Investor Chronicle had positive things to say about the company today.

I agree management need to deliver FCF and we will be punished if they don't - but I do have faith in AH and Pablo and once they have delivered what they said they will deliver ... Then sentiment will truly return!

I note that dividends aren't forecast (by Investor Chronicle) until 2027 now .... But of course that only 14 months away and considering I've been holding for 5 years already 😁 it won't be a huge wait in the great scheme of things!

@aim - I understand that you want to get in here at a lower price - but your predictions are getting wilder by the day - that's a shame as you've been pretty good at calling CPI over the last year or two.

I think what you've missed is that SENTIMENT is begining to change on this stock and that has happened after the large purchases from Staverly, Oasis and UBS.

The broker note - suggesting a £9 target - demonstrates that change of sentiment and things should improve from here.

Even during the summer we had a recovery of sentiment (when we rose to over £3.50 after the Oasis purchases) but were then knocked back by the negative Ofgem audit.

You won't be seeing your £2.20 entry again unless we get another black swan negative story (always a possibility with CPI as it has a habit of attracting black swans).

As I said when we were in the £2.60s - now is the time to buy back in.
