What prospects for Costain (COST)
paperbag
- 21 Sep 2004 13:28
Would anyone know why there has been such a large number of shares sold and no buying? Is there something we are not aware of?

Another good contract win by Costain,...there are 2 previous sp patterns here: the May and September camel bumps...will this rise become a third ?.....rises up and then down and then another rise (where we are now) possibly !.

rf-------Just read contract news myself, COST seem to be doing quite well atm, the 8th jan update indicates no nasties, so I feel the sp is a tad too low.

The sp should be around the 30p mark...but then again there are plenty more companies that are undervalued...take AFR (on Aim) for instance....sp really beaten low !....for COST some patience will be needed....but a serious rise must be coming !.

18 months ago they traded between 40p-50p range but I believe they were saddled with debt at that time, hence their drop to below 20p.

Bought again this morning but they haven't registered on the live streaming. Final results due 11th March, no nasties according to the february update, co valued @ around 150m, has cash exceeding 100m, record order books of 2b, not exposed to the house market, PE of 6.4 and a dividend to boot. Looking good.

Coming in under everybody's radar this one....as much cash in hand as the market cap !....whilst most similar companies are reporting doom and gloom, little Costain is showing good improvements in performance.

The results looked very solid, I couldn't see any negatives in there, it looks a good buy from here with nice support at 19p which the sp has bounced off three times. Some large sell transactions today which lowered the price.

Struggles to progress further than the 23.5p mark.

It's a classic range bound stock between 19 to 24p and I can't see it changing just yet. Good for trading short term though.

About to break out of the trading range ?, if so : it could jump up a few pennies or so !.

Yes looks that way rf, it's been slow going despite good news and no debt, may have been held back by the dilutive effect of last years rights issue.

Currently on the verge of a break out, if they do breakout you should see a golden cross on the charts shortly.
They keep pulling in new contracts.

Makes you wonder (it does me anyway) why another construction co doesn't t/o COST. For a premium of say 60% (sp 40p) outlay 250m an acquiring co gets 150m cash plus 2b of PFI contracts. Suspect I must be missing something, and perhaps there's some wishful thinking on my part.

Crossrail contract helping breakout !....about time this went up !....still way undervalued with huge backlog of excellent contracts, profits should rise considerably in years to come !.

Frankly, I'm surprised that there is not more buying of this stock.....if the numbers on Money Am are to go by....300000 only and some of those are sells !?.

Sold out of these for a near 20% profit, taking an age to really move and I suspect the market generally to be toppy and bought into NGL instead. Good look all.
