The clickbait concept is nothing new. It was always the case with the printed media, where it was acknowledged any front page headline attracting a visit to inner pages was a lie, a practice which easily contributed to the death of the genre. Our own attitude toward clickbait headlines tends be quite reserved. We do our stuff, report the numbers, make a polite cough when some targets are met, and move onto the next thing. Our thing has always been a preference for just being right.

And our recent review of Kier Group (LSE:KIE) has proven extremely successful. The share price, as predicted, hit our trigger and surged upwards, confidently achieving and beating our initial target!
This opens the door for a reasonable future. The situation now is for Kier to move above 287p as this should apparently trigger a cycle of gains which should hesitate around 320p. If beaten, our longer-term secondary now calculates at 360p.
While the share price exhibits some amazing long, long-term potentials if this scenario starts to unfold, for now we suspect it shall prove safest to advocate for our moderate target levels rather than mention a distant attraction from 1,051p.
And if things intend to go wrong, below 214p would hammer a pretty unpleasant nail into their share price future.
