This is looking very good lately and has risen quite a bit day on day recently. Very large abnormal volume on Tuesday (yesterday). They traded 1.3M compared to a couple of hundred thousand on a good day. The resut was a nice rise in price. They are fast approaching a break out position above the next resistance level. This will then put them on historic highs. It has quite a spectacular chart.There was this recent news item a couple of days ago. They always have very large development projects on the go. I think this is going to fly now. I suspect another announcement is on the way:- 31/10/03 17:12 LONDON (AFX) - Quintain Estates & Development PLC said it has today submitted an outline planning application to the offices of Brent Council comprising detailed plans for the regeneration of 42 acres at Wembley, London. Quintain owns 56 acres of land in Wembley surrounding, but not including, the National Stadium. Designed by Richard Rogers Partnership, the planning application submitted today proposes 'a spectacular setting' for the National Stadium and the delivery of thousands of new homes and jobs, with greatly improved local facilities and new areas of open space, Quintain said.

Thanls for that. It sounds interesting. What is the contract journal?

morning, conract journal is a weekly newspaper for the construction industry.
contains projects at pre-plan, detailed planning, tenders, bidders known and bids accepted. plus all the general goings on surrounding the construction world. have a look at www.contractjournal.com

So anyone with any ideas whats happening here, seems to me the bankers are happy with them, they have decent NAV, they are considering a rights issue - old news so whats with the 45% drop today?????

I hear these are worth a punt, buying tomorrow, do the maths ;-)

I would buy around 5/6p for a gamble only.

With a NAV of circa 360p and an sp of just 59p, looks way undervalued even with debt concerns.

Chart looks fine and although a speculative investment some would find this Im going for it.

i did my own research on this, so thanks for bringing it to my attention gf. i now have a nice problem.

soldout

from 2003 until 2009 and still on page one( hope this dont jump to page 2) lol.
must be a pretty boring stock and thread for investors.

jkd

ive been accumulating these since below 60p and at regular intervals above. they are becoming more and more difficult to accumulate at small risk( my major criterior in buying anything) as prices rise higher. i suspect something is afoot here.
could be wrong.
long term target 400p.as always just my opinion and please dyor.
caveat: i am a bear on the long term market in general so will also be looking to lock in some profits on any major weakness, it is now approaching a major resistance level which if something is afoot it should take out.we'll see shortly.having bought so low i can afford to lend a fairly generous stop loss but sure aint going to give it all back.

regards and good luck.

We look forward to continuing to apply our broad experience and proven investment, asset management and structuring skills to create and enhance future value for shareholders."

Broker covering it as a BUY rating and the actual NAV of 161p protects any downside....... looks way undervalued to me.

Quintain Estates is certainly worth a look at from a recovery point of view.



If you look at the historic NAV this could be well undervalued and shouldnt be long before we get a trading update on the 21st of January. May get a run up to the update.....
