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.

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.

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.....

RPT-UPDATE 1-Quintain targets 2010 fund management growth
21 Jan 2010 - 07:37

(Repeats to additional Reuters clients)

* Allocates majority of share sale proceeds to funds unit

* Gearing down to 43 percent, from 94 percent at Sept. 30

(Adds detail)

LONDON, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Quintain Estates & Development is pumping 133.5 million pounds ($218 million) into acquisitions and growing its income-generating fund management arm in 2010 after months of defending its balance sheet from property market turmoil.

Quintain, which specialises in redeveloping towns and cities across Britain, said last year's 183.5 million pounds rights issue has slashed the firm's gearing by more than half to 43 percent, giving the company a "substantial buffer" against further economic distress and the firepower to chase new buys.

"With equity available and a significantly reduced level of gearing, we will continue to progress our existing schemes, drive substantial growth in the fund management business and capitalise on the many opportunities current market conditions present," Chief Executive Adrian Wyatt said.

The company said it had seen evidence of a recovering property market with a number of sales achieved at a premium to valuation, including Commercial House in Jersey, which fetched a price 19 percent above book value.

However, it said conditions in the mainstream market remained uncertain and it would maintain its focus on alternative asset classes such as healthcare and student accommodation, which benefit from resilient income streams underpinned respectively by an ageing population and undersupply.

Careful now...

I get a funny feeling about this one.

This is going nowhere.

this is page 2 might be worth reading page1. and thanks to gf who originally bought this to my attention. he aint always right and sometimes i disagree but he is worth reading and following and doing our own research to confirm or not as the case may be. those that i have researched and agreed with have proven most succesful for me so Thanks gf.
dont forget a 3 for 1 rights. my original target as posted was 400.so that equates to 133or so. another property company in line with my other post re BLND might be too early in the cycle so just bringing it to you alls attention for your watch list. i like it, have dipped a toe.
please all dyor and good luck
regards
jkd

have since dipped several other toes,
cant post all my positions on everything so
just sample on this one but hopeful.
could be wrong,i often am; so please dyor.
regards
jkd

Moving ahead very nicely. Shame I don't hold.

Well done to those in this - just to show its about timing :-
