Yes, a very interesting point. Now K has revealed all its cards i.e. all financial details have been issued and scrutinized, K shows a very strong set of cards, a winning hand! - it's a nice feeling to be in there.

For no apparent reason, no volume of any substance going through on the buy side but SP rises 2.2% this morning for no apparent reason - interesting!!

Not sure why such a lackluster response by the S.P. Not sure what better news on profitability, reinstatement of Dividend, order book, visibility, and no threat whatsoever of company failure which was still muted 24 months ago, nor sure what on earth K needs to do!

Yes, it reinforces what we already know with even more visibility. Very promising ref recent acquisition. Bright future outlook and bargain share price at current levels - loads of upside.

'Get Brittain Building' - Racheal Reeves kept repeating in an interview this morning. She's also very keen on infrastructure post-cancellation of HS2. - Kier is a major player in Labour's plans!

Get's even better that institutional Shroders are adding to their existing holdings. Long may it continue!

Yes, it's looking good. There will undoubtedly be a pullback here but the momentum should see this at least 20 to 50% higher by the year-end. So for many when is it the best time to sell?Personally, I'm in it long-term and expect to start selling closer to 200p level - IMO

Yes, it's been a long wait but we have arrived. Sizable trades going through after hours above the 100p level. The big players can see value here and as we the existing shareholders have surmised for a long time the SP should be closer to 200p especially now with the known facts, i.e. reinstatement of Dividends etc. S.P. now needs a bit of momentum - all looks very promising.

These results overall are excellent. The S.P. is priced at levels where the viability of the company is in doubt, the slight increase in net debt masks the big picture of a financially viable progressive enterprise with substantial upside in the S.P.

Hopefully, the purchase price was value for money. Assuming Kier picked up a bargain this move will further add excellent value to the company / S.P.?

Turbulent times we're in and I would say turbulent times ahead. So a stock with an order book ( £10 billion and counting! ) mainly backed by the current Government and Labour should they get in is a compelling buy at these levels. IMO. Inflationary pressure appears to be abating which should give Kier more visibility going forward. Patience is needed here and we will be rewarded!

The jigsaw puzzle of pieces that is Kier is coming together nicely and the ' big one ' will be the reinstatement of Divi's which will propel the SP, future looks good - what a relief!

It's pure speculation but the way the SP has inched up over the last week the Market Makers for the SP must be expecting positive news. Has the company finally turned the corner - I believe it has ????

I'm not sure this is entirely correct! Since the sale of KL the negative balance on the books is working capital which is totally acceptable given the rising order book and the adjustment to in-house implementations carried out to make the business more profitable. I'm of the opinion the forthcoming statement should indicate the new ( profitable ? ) order of working.

I totally share your concerns here, but as the March article highlights, the progress made throughout the Group is very positive and if there really was a turning point in the fortunes and prospects for Kier confirmation of this should be on the 20th. Let's hope so!

With no obvious reason, the SP is on the slide. There is so much nervousness among the Market Makers ahead of the Results and Trading Statement. This is why IMO should Kier post some decent numbers with a decent Trading report the SP could and should fly.

There are worrying recessionary signs in the general economy which of course makes current investing even harder than usual. So if I had a blank sheet now I don't think I could find a better sector to invest in than Construction and within this sector, Kier really does stand out as very overlooked and just simply compelling! The next set of results and trading statement should/could be the launch pad.

Even at the 70p level, this level 2 years ago when the order book and profits were not as assured as today, this level would've been considered a mini-disaster. The SP now and going forward has much further to go up IMO.

Even without bid speculation, Kier was trading well above 100p level within the 2 to 3 years when there's was a potential default akin to Carriliion fiasco. Kier has moved on very much in the right direction since then, yes its encouraging to see the SP inch up but this surely is an indication that we shall see a much higher SP with or without bid speculation in the near or medium term?

Freddie I would agree. There's turbulance out there in the investment market so this sector offers stability and visibility. The order book Kier boasts surely has ripe pickings for profit?
