Shares of British construction company Kier Group plc (LON: KIE) have formed a pre-breakout structure ahead of April’s massive fundraising to raise £150 million, which is more than its current market capitalisation.
The company’s current share price seems attractive given the potential rally expected after the fundraising. Investors looking to get in before the actual fundraising may find that now is a great time to do so.*
Kier Group has been struggling financially for a long time now and is looking to reset its finances via fundraising and the proposed disposal of its Kier Living homebuilding division to focus on its construction business.

The company’s shares are trading near their all-time lows with significant upside potential if the bullish thesis holds, and they rally after the fundraising. However, nothing is guaranteed in the markets, which means that we could easily get a pullback after the fundraising, although the odds favour a rally.
