Jarvis [JRVS] am I the only one to wonder at their wisdom?...(news Times Rumour)... they have invested 45m in the Underground consortium AND now want out - to sell for maybe 22m - what if they only get 16m? Is this a fire sale or what?
If you are not serious with investment (for the future, etc) then why waste time and shareholder's money in the first place. If you see a future in Rail (underground looks set for years of up-grading to my mind!)- then you have to get-in AND stay in.
This "shifting their ground" is a demonstration of short-term management that is big on cost, but small on value.
Will this Fire-Sale make any real difference to the Debt - it sure will stop any lucrative Underground contracts (-If management knows how to negotiate!)
With Jarvis' debt looming, are we about to witness another Marconi/Mayflower Management foul-up? Just what do we pay for these monkeys, I thought it was in Bullion, not peanuts.
Let's have Value Management. SOON.
