IMHO when you look at the history of JRVS it is riddled with failure and bad-events.
It's what I'd class as a "broken brand" - that's when almost no-one has anything good to say. Indeed I doubt I'd trust them to build a shed, however unlikely that might be.
It might be a "revovery play" but there needs to some "step-change" to achieve this - usually a radical change at the top - I suspect the ChExec is too good at being a Politician: - making the best out of a bad situation - but whilst this may suit the cut and thrust of Parliament, it's no use when your project is running late or the roof has started to leak.
I used to hold this stock when it was 1 ( not sure of any CONsolidations etc) and met SN in London - Words but no Actions, IMHO.
FWIW "Bargepoles", are You a long-term holder, or only recently (20p) for "recovery" . . . ?

long term holder.. Assets worth a couple of times more than the market cap IMO.
They need a new contract to prove that they are in business.

Nice news today driving the price higher.

From a tip sheet

This just posted on ADVFN

"Jarvis looks a sitting duck

Shares in Jarvis, the long-troubled rail contractor, briefly perked up this week. The prompt was the news that a 6.5 million tax rebate had been agreed with HM Revenue and Customs and would be paid by the end of this month. When a business is valued in the market at just 30 million, a 6.5 million cash boost counts for a lot.

Until I ran the numbers, I hadnt realised that Jarvis was in fact so lowly valued. It still boasts 270 million or so of turnover and has a thriving business supplying Network Rail for which the prospects have never looked better. True, it has been a walking basket case for the past four years ever since running up a combined 600 million of losses in 2003/4 and 2004/5 and has had to do deals with its bankers and sell off a host of assets to survive. But survive it has. It will not make money this year (to the end of March) because of problems in its rail plant business, but it should do in 2008/9. That, of course, is assuming that it is still an independent company.

I have a contact in the market who is convinced Jarvis will be taken over once the current-year figures are in and the outlook for the plant business can be better assessed. I think there is a very good chance he is right.

Jarvis shares fell from 80p to 20p in a couple of days in November when the company notified the market that various problems associated with the plant business would cost it 8 million largely in the second half of the year. There had been changes in utilisation patterns and a shift towards overhead line maintenance rather than track work, which had affected the demand for on-track machines. On the transport side, a client had elected to buy wagons rather than hire them.

But there has been a lot of good news too. In September, Jarvis made the cut when Network Rail announced the winners of its 6 to 4 competition which reduced the number of suppliers to its future track renewals programme to just four. As a consequence, the outlook for this business from now on is extremely good, according to one-time mayoral candidate for London Steven Norris, Jarviss chairman.

Equally, Jarvis has been getting out of a lot of loss-making operations in accommodation services and contracting. Its freight services business should be profitable from April when new locomotives arrive to service a five-year coal haulage contract with E.ON. And debt has been coming down fairly steadily to manageable levels. With the latest tax rebate, Jarvis borrowing should be down to around 35 million.

With an enterprise value (market capitalisation plus debt) of about 65 million, Jarvis looks a snip in relation to the scale of its business. Granted, there are still questions to answer and the next set of figures will not look particularly pretty, but the accompanying statement should make better reading as far as the future is concerned. One to buy while the shares are still bumping along the bottom."

This is moving fast. Any target price for the next two weeks?

Yesterday, it said the company will report the best result since 2003.

Interesting.

After falling into something of a crevasse recently, it is beginning to look as though this outfit might just be attempting to come up out of the other side.

Recent RNS offerings are encouraging.

News of a fairly large contract to be announced this week , Fill your boots guys this could be pure gold all the way up to high 50p dyor Good luck and lets enjoy the ride north !!!!

Both Barclays & JP Morgan appears to have sold out and bought back in at a higher price. And they are suppose to be the experts. Well at least as long as they are buying then there is only one way to go at the moment.

Jarvis wins 40 mln stg contract from Network Rail; sees improved trading in H2
AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Jarvis PLC said it has won a new track renewal and signalling contract worth over 40 mln stg from Network Rail and added it sees improved trading in the second-half compared to first-half.

The company also said it expects its full-year results to be in line with its expectations.

The rail and plant services group said it has received a total tax repayment of 6.5 mln stg from the UK's Revenue and Customs.

Further, its plant has renewed its seasonal treatment fleet contract, worth 5 mln stg, for a further two years, it added.

.....
CURRENT TRADING
---------------

The Group continues to follow its strategy for recovery and trading in the
second half of the current financial year will show improvement over the first
half performance. It is anticipated that the full year results will be in line
with management expectations.

We are pleased to confirm that a total Tax repayment of 6.5 million has been
received in full from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The refund, as
announced on 7 February, will be reflected in full in the Group's financial
results for the year ended 31 March 2008.

......

According to previous statement, the management expectation is record profit......
Can someone else check this, pls?

How did the do it was very interesting last night. JRVS should either go down or jump to 25-30p soon and recover from there.

sleeping beauty. It has to wake up soon. imo
There are not many serious competitors in the UK. IMO

This is a good start to 1 IMO

This could be the marker for recovery. Short term the next point of interest may be results, due on 28th May I believe. They should be rather better than those of late.

Also reasonable to expect that they would have a decent workload on for this coming weekend, and again at the longer Bank Holiday at the end of the month.

record results will be released.... it was confirmed twice... 1 is easy to reach imo

Little snippet from the FT today:

"Talk that Investeringsselskabet has increased its holding in Jarvis"

Should have a positive effect - good luck!

A report in 'The Indpendent on Sunday' suggest the company is open to offers and could be sold off in the near future for around 100m.
Lets hope for a bid shorty.

Any news?

All sold too soon then ?

60p next stop ... fill yer boots ramp ramp dyor.

THE COUNT--->DIL

I'm still in there Dil....and with more than a half decent amount. This is my first 100%+ in a little while. They are also packed in my ISA...done me very well so far. I did need a bit of a shot in the arm after the market shenanigans of recent months.

Fundamentally, still looking cheap. Oh, and then there's takeover rumours galore just for a bit of icing on the cake.

Regards,

THE COUNT!

Cheers COUNT , I bought based on the chart and backed up by results. Looks like a no brainer over the next few months.

Regards

not a stock i have followed at all, but certainly thr chart is now showing a strong break-out ...... is there actually any meaningful and accurate news to warrant the recent jump?

Crash was unjustified. Going back to the recent highs IMO.

Read last weeks results announcement cynic.

There is a big upgrade to be had on the railway running into billions with 4 different companies up for the contracts, Jarvis is one of them.

up for and getting are a long way apart

THE COUNT--->DIL

Screw those effing charts!

I bought in for the first time in years when they announced the profit warning last November. When read in some detail, it clearly didn't signal the death knell of their new business model but merely a delay. This can signal some of the best recovery situations around, especially with a stock as unloved as this was due to all their problems in the prior couple of years. The City and investors sold the stock off, more in disgust than on fundamentals.

I started buying back at 22p...and then it fell.

I bought a lot more in the late teens...and then it fell.

I bought loads more in the early teens and shoved a few hundred thousand in my ISA as well...and it fell.

I bought the cheapest block at around 10p, not quite catching the low point of 9p. It stopped falling....contrary to what the chartists were telling us.

Then it started its recovery. I bought a few more, and before I knew it, I was riding just over a million shares all the way back up again and with lots of brown stuff in my pants....proverbially speaking. I only ever intended to buy a few hundred thousand for recovery, but circumstances and fundamentals forced me to do otherwise.

Obviously, now I am laughing as my average is about 17p.

I have my cushion now, so I will try and ride them for a year or two to see where we go, especially as there has also been talk of takeover from a couple of areas.

I think the wider stock sell off today shaved a couple of pence of their closing price.

Regards,

THE COUNT!

My short term opinion after being positive since last week........

Had a good run since breaking 25p, but late on the day there was the first day of profit taking, and with the Indicators on the higher part of the overbought position, the 41.50p reached today could the high for the moment being.



BREAKOUT and GAP to be fill 76/80p

From the "UPS" thread..........

The other reason is:

It could be the end of the rise for the moment being by the way
the candlestick finished today, called "ADVANCE BLOCK PATTERN"

BEARISH ADVANCE BLOCK
Type: Reversal
Relevance: Bearish
Prior Trend: Bullish

Definition:
It is a pattern characterized by three long white candlesticks with consecutively higher closes during an uptrend. The Bearish Advance Block Pattern is similar to the Bullish Three White Soldiers Pattern. The difference is the fact that each successive day is weaker than the one preceding it. This may suggest that the rally is losing strength and a reversal is possible.

   

Contract extension signed,40m.

Earnings per share 5.4p (2007: loss of 13.5p).
Share price 40p, earning 5.4p a share (2007: share price was 65p-80p, loss 13.5p a share).

Chart says it all COUNT :-)

Its the start of something big Master RSI , fill yer boots.

http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/080529/214/i0hdv.html
The Government and Network Rail have announced big increases in rail spending over the next few years, which can only bode well for Jarvis (LSE: JRVS.L - news) . Chief executive, Richard Entwistle, refuses to discuss talk of a takeover but the fact that others are now interested should encourage buyers. .....

Why the crash then?

Could just be a bit of a pull-back after the recent sharp rise.

ahoj ... watch and learn

Evening all,
Would it be a daft suggestion that there could be a rumour of an offer at this current range in SP for the business?

Edit-testing the water so to speak?

Not a holder but just interested and the little dip today means nothing at all.Hope JRVS do well.

There are always rumours banjo .... didn't do MDX any good though.

Prefer charts backed up by fundamentals myself.

Quite agree,Dil re charts backed up by fundamentals myself.

good luck anyway,should be a win win situation but too hectic for me.

Why did it fall in the first place. It should worth well over 100p IMO

Cos it wasn't worth a quid at the time ... suggest you read back through RNS announcements.

Bought a few more today COUNT , thats my lot now.

Train is the cheapest means of transport... Eurotunnel, BGY, Jrvs should see a big rise in demand.

Dil

re - Its the start of something big Master RSI , fill yer boots. - 03 Jun 2008

Well I was right and you .....

Now is the time to fill your boots again, yesterday and today has been plenty of chances at 28p.
We are now at the start of another cycle were Indicators and support is positive, naturally I am taking short term

My chart yesterday, point to an upsiade of 19p

Symmetrical trangle

Have been watching these for a while now & am tempted by the gently rising sp, but just as a matter of interest, MRSI, what do you mean by 'short term'?

HARRYCAT ... make your own mind up , this self proclaimed "Master" has a less than perfect record on the threads I post on (see above) but has made some good calls on others apparently (he told me I think).

Hope he gets this one right for a change but I'm looking for more than 19p over the next 6 months.

Don't worry Dil. I usually research well before buying.
The only broker forecast that I can find is a 'Hold' with a target price of 36p.
Also:
Earnings per share (GBP) 3.40 2007 (Act) 3.70 2008 (Est) 4.10 2009 (Est)
Public transport sector seems to be attracting more interest, though I would have called it a medium to long term investment, unless there is any kind of M & A activity.

I've put you on the "SHEEP SHAGGER" list, but being from Wales is nothing new to you.

1 - We are talking about JRVS in this thread.

2- My selections are short term, for a long time now I do not put any longer share certificates under the mattress like you, the climate of the economy is not for doing so.

3- Noticed you have put down 2 share charts for long term that are around the same price or down, what about the one's that are well UP looser.

4 - Accept your mistakes, Learn and then take it like a MAN

5- I have look at the records and have PHTM as buying at 15p and selling at 16.50p small profit, but last February 7th bought it a 23.723p and sold them one week later @33.50p on the 15th for 1.495 profit.
MDX bought at 47.50p and sold 48.50, it went as high as 54p next day, just cover cost.


HARRYCAT
re - MRSI, what do you mean by 'short term'?

It has been explain above, looking at charts they go in clycles, very much influenced by Indicators, like MACD, RSI and Stochastich, one can make money during this periods, like "cat bounce" in BDEV, from last week 52.50p to Monday 103p, I did good money, and never bought at bottom or sold at top.

As I said pratt ... I only posted the ones from the threads that I follow .... and they were both shit calls , long or short term.

Regards

And according to your posts you managed to get out even on PHTM and not at a profit.

MDX you just disappeared altogether !

Dil         re - and they were both shit calls

Shit is what you get with "SHEEP SHAGGING" ..............

re -Dil - 04 Jun 2008 13:22 - 46 of 60
Bought a few more today COUNT , thats my lot now

I think you are a bit of "sour grapes at the moment buying on the TOP, what price was on the 4th of June?

I bought the last lot ( looking at the records) buy 29 May @ 31.50p sold 2 June 38.05p.
I am in again since Wednesday, at just below 28p

Yes you have to learn from the Master, too many Years on the business

giving up "sheep shagger"

here is the price that you most likely paid on the 4th

lol you can write what the uck you want after the event , thats easy.

I bought first lot at 27p and sold at 40.5p , current holding includes a top purchase at 34p but average holding slightly under 30p .... so what.

Can't see your call on JRVS here , unlike your shite calls on MDX and PHTM that you made on the threads.

As I said , easy to be smart after the event.

I hardly post here, my calls are at "UPS" thread on another place and most days include them at " The Traders Thread "

and no lies like you I can say

re - Can't see your call on JRVS here

I have found the post at "UPS" .......


Master RSI - 29 May'08 - 14:10 - 181 of 250 edit
JRVS 30.50p - 31.25p +4.375p
Is now ready to move higher on the BREAKOUT and in the chart there is a large GAP to be fill



It went to over 40p intraday on the next few days

And changing the subject " thanks good some will say"

I have noticed since yesterday volume is well down on the Market, so is not only at JRVS,
very pooor performance so far today, MMs has something to do with it as the order book - L2
is very poor, keeping the large spread 27.75 / 29.50p, and with that off punters from doing any trade.

lol blaming the mm's now ??

Amazing how a simple question can spark off WW3 !!! :o)

They started Iraq war based on similar sort of assumptions.

Dont know wot you mean pt

Nearly there choccie ... and another great call by Master RSI , NOT !

Told you he was crap.

Yes master seems to be a load of "bull" wonder if he is British?

Well after all that I missed it, gorgeous :)
Hopefully another oppo in the morning, but then again, I might be the kiss of death.
Or summat ;)

No Master RSI appears to be the kiss of death here and MDX and PHTM .......

I can't believe this i snot butter.

What, no comments.
30 mill traded last Friday, possibly stock hangover cleared. Price up from 8p to 10 1/4
as market waits to find who was the buyer.

May well be another falsed dawn, but we are allowed to hope.

Over 43 million traded I believe stable, most on plus. The RNS 's yesterday showed where some went, but not the bulk. Expect another RNS soon.

RNS issues late afternoon sent the shares tumbling downwards could go 1p on Friday.

Jarvis has confirmed that Network Rail has notified the Company of its intention to significantly reduce its track renewals volumes and expenditure in the year to 31 March 2010.

The Company is one of four track renewal contractors and it is currently seeking clarification in respect of the likely effects and financial impact if this proposal is implemented.

The Jarvis share price reacted badly with several sales being initiated immediately after the announcement. The share price fell 29.0%,down 2.08p on the day to 6.52p "

Recovery of this stock seems a long way off. Avoid, imo.

Getting hammered again. I wonder if Maestro is still in

no i sold out at 10p to release funds to buy NTX... but will be buying at this price...bloody bargain or what?

Seems like a good way to lose your money, imo. Plenty of other tradeable stocks with far less risk attached.

Stockbroker Jarvis Securities (JIM) is to pay a fist interim dividend of 3p per share.

March 2009 saw the highest monthly trade volume in the firm's history and client cash balances are 25% up since the end of last year.

Total funds under administration are 13% up on 31 December 2008 and a new spread-betting service is to be introduced shortly to expand the product

correct -its jarvis securties - JIM

Hello Jeff, what do you mean "it was this dog" lol

Oops - yes I just clicked on quote and its at the top of the news list - didn't bother to 'read' the announcement - I'll get my coat!

historically slow to move. should follow the market to 10p, imo.

These seem to be on a bit of a run.

v short term if you ask me sell short now!!!!

Note that the on screen price does not tally with what is available through the brokers.

Agree - price manipulation!!! sell

And if you do you might get a surprise!

down all the way from here pal i guarantee it!

Unfortunatley CMC appear to no longer cover it!

Hmmm - I wonder if JRVS are inline to benefit from today's announcement of the electrification of the Great Western line.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8164070.stm

In auction.

Possibly not. Live feed is down so prices not available with many brokers.

Harry UT (trade 131) @14.5.

Good volume

Becoming quite respectable.

What a st*nker
News of a Director-purchase nearly a week ago sends the shares up . . . . but they paid only 8p. So I don't understand the excitement, -or is the Government going to allow JRVS to bid for the GWR-electrification.....oh dear!

Yes - no insider info here :-)

Not to mention Manchester to Liverpool electrification also. According to the papers, HMG is after a quick start to the works.

What a ride this has been this week, after nearly pulling out 2 weeks ago I ended up adding on Monday. How long can it continue without something tangible in the way of news?. Just hope its forthcoming before we run out of steam.

Jarvis Interim Management Statement





TIDMJRVS

RNS Number : 1948X

?
Interim Management Statement

Jarvis plc ('the Group') publishes its Interim Management Statement
covering the period from the beginning of the Group's financial year, 1 April
2009, to date.


The Group's strategy to concentrate on its Rail, Plant and Freight businesses,
while ensuring its facilities management business continues to improve margins,
remains on track. The Company has incurred a small operating loss during the
first quarter which is in line with management expectations.


Following Network Rail's previously reported decision to delay work until later
in the current Control Period (which runs from April 2009 - March 2014), volumes
in the Group's Rail business have reduced to the expected levels in the first
quarter which has also impacted as expected on the Plant business. The
restructuring programme announced in March 2009 to reduce the Group's cost base
is progressing well. However, as we do not expect volumes to improve in the
short term the business has identified further cost and operational efficiencies
which we anticipate will result in a further GBP3m in exceptional costs.


As announced on 14 July 2009 Chief Executive, Richard Entwistle has decided to
retire with effect from this year's Annual General Meeting on 3 September.
Richard will be succeeded as Chief Executive by Stuart Laird, currently the
Group's Chief Operating Officer and in line with the Group's objective of
downsizing the role of Chief Operating Officer will not be replaced.


Freight has continued to perform well and, as reported on 3 June 2009, we
have secured a 32 month extension to our coal haulage contract with E.ON UK. In
the second quarter volumes are expected to reduce in line with normal seasonal
trends and the general reduction in demand for electricity in the economy.


Unaudited net debt at the end of June 2009 stood at GBP20.2m. It was pleasing to
be able to report on 9 July that we were able to extend our banking facilities
for a further year to January 2011.


Chairman of Jarvis plc, Steven Norris said: "As we have said before volumes are
expected to continue at the anticipated lower levels throughout the current
financial year. Tender activity should start to pick up in the second half,
although short term visibility remains poor. Beyond this year prospects look
more promising. The CP4 five year control period has now commenced and Network
Rail has a capital works programme which is funded to 2014. The government also
recently announced a GBP1.1 billion project to electrify two major rail
lines. These are significant opportunities for a contractor with our level of
expertise and we will be working hard to ensure we maximise the benefits these
present."

I guess bid rumours doing the rounds (again)! Up 11% and reasonable volume.

Deutsche Bahn signs $26B Qatar railroad deal
Deutsche Bahn, Qatari Diar sign $26 billion railroad deal in gas-rich Qatar


DOHA, Qatar (AP) -- An investment company owned by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund on Sunday signed a $26 billion deal with Germany's national railway operator to build a railroad network, a key part of the natural gas-rich Gulf sheikdom's expansion plans.

Under the deal, the Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company and Deutsche Bahn AG will set up a joint venture to develop a metro system in Qatar's capital, as well as a national rail network and a long-distance connection to neighboring Bahrain.

Qatar will hold a 51 percent stake in Qatar Railways Development Company and the German state-held railway will have a 49 percent stake

"This announcement represents the next step in the creation of this visionary Qatari project that will truly revolutionize the ease and convenience by which people travel," said Ghanim Bin Saad al-Saad, Qatari Diar's chief executive.

The railroad network will take about 15 years to complete, but the national railroad and the local commuter system for Doha is expected to be 70 percent built by 2017 to support the tiny Gulf nation's bid for the World Cup in 2022 and the Olympics in 2020.

Suspension of Trading and Appointment of Administrators
As announced in the Interim Management Statement of 17 February 2010, Jarvis plc
(the "Company") has been impacted by economic conditions generally and, in
particular, the very considerable reductions in rail and plant work volumes,
meaning that trading conditions have been, and continue to be, difficult.
During this period the Board has been focussed on improving the financial
position and the long-term viability of the Company for the benefit of all of
its stakeholders.
The successful achievement of this goal depended upon the continued support of
key customers and creditors (including the lenders under the Company's secured
working capital facility and Network Rail), and the ability of the Company to
win new work. The recent success in being awarded the Chiltern Railway's
Evergreen 3 Contract was therefore encouraging.
However, following negotiations with the Company's secured lenders, it has today
become clear that sufficient support will not be extended to the Company to
enable it to continue trading as a going concern.
As a consequence, the Directors now have no option but to take steps (together
with the Company's secured lenders) to place the Company, and certain of its
subsidiaries, into administration, and to request that trading in its shares be
suspended with immediate effect.
