FirstGroup (#FGP) – sack-the-board GM requisition from Coast Capital Management

2019-05-13 07:10:57

A German Teutonic train ratio tells you that First Group remains cheap

The train operators certainly do make it easy to invest in them. I read in the business pages of one of the deadwood press publications today that 'a £2.6 billion standoff over pensions threatens to derail a string of train franchises' which could well hit hopes to award long-term franchises in some parts of the country including the West Coast mainline which I live close to. Another problem for that top performing politician Mr Grayling to deal with. Why is his name never mentioned as a future Prime Minister?

FirstGroup - dumping 'Madchester' bus station & refinancing bonds

I am trying to think if I have ever been to ‘Madchester’ bus station. Whilst I ponder this, I can provide you with the news that FirstGroup (FGP) which apparently used to own it has sold it on for £11 million or so to another transport group Go-Ahead (GOG). How exciting. Much as I would like to talk about transport hubs of the north, there is a serious side to my preliminary waffle…

FirstGroup - writedown losses, debt, CEO resignation. What is there not to like?!

Something a little different today from all those worthy growth at a reasonable price type companies I normally ramble on about. Whisper it quietly, but I think that FirstGroup (FGP) is cheap here. I know that a transport company is never the most popular name - and I await the opprobrium from the TransPennine Express train and related users in the comments section - but hear me out, after all, got to be greedy when others are fearful and all that.

This makes a mockery of the the so called rules and regulations when something as blatant as this is done.It's a shame a shareholder can't propose themselves as a director just to prevent the strike-off.Is there nothing legal that can be done at this point?

It's outrageous that the likes of Amy Hunt claim that women with Sydney Sweeney's body shape cannot play sport. Who said that sportswomen can't look like Ms Sweeney?

If it gets to 3p then construction will be going well and it will be well on the way to 6p+ so interested in why you would sell out then?

Whatever Opti's intentions it will have to sell.You could say you should sell now as maybe your last chance to sell at above 8oops too late, now 7.5p to sell

I thought that a seasoned reader of financial statements would have clocked that OPTI's HY results to 30/6/26 classed their SBTX shares as non-current assets – meaning that management has no intention to sell them within 12 months.Maybe you assumed that they were forced to class them as non-current because SBTX shares were suspended…but no, the SBTX suspension was lifted weeks before OPTI's sign-off date.And if you believe that OPTI haven't sold all or most of their remaining SBTX shares since June 30th, I'm afraid they saw you coming.There is of course a risk that OPTI has double accounted for its SBTX shares, having included them in both non-current assets and in "cash and equivalents", which might be a fruitful line of enquiry for you.As for Skin's RNS arriving a day outside the standard 10th-20th definition of mid-month, they have had a lot of balls to juggle so a 24hr delay ought to be a cause for congratulations.Why not grab some SBTX shares this afternoon? Could be your last chance to buy back below 12p.

Notwithstanding your ad nauseam negativity on SBTX, I choose to believe the positive indications from the 8 June RNS, including "Growth continued across the company", under Current Trading and Outlook (from a chairman who never speaks with forked tongue). Accordingly, I have helped myself to a nice top-up in anticipation of a welcome trading update on Monday.
