We should respond to each other. It's only polite (Christian even). And we're all saving for our children's future.
When someone responds, it's a basis for discussion, but when they just ignore you and instead indulge themselves in random predictions with no reasoning or logic, it makes the board dull and sterile. It makes you wonder what their motive is in posting here, because it's obviously not discussion
In the short term the market is a voting machine, but you’re investing in the business and not the share price chart. Perhaps you should sell if you cannot invest for the long term.
Can't decide whether to get out. The NT did. The market is a voting machine. I can see this breaching 100p and heading for 80p.
@Robina. You imply that AAF is in a bad business sector and operating in the wrong region. So did you inherent these shares, or perhaps pressed the wrong button by accident when you meant to buy a diary? If so, there's not much point making cryptic comments on a discussion board, you may as well just sell up and buy a stock in a sector and region you actually see value in, or maybe a calendar?
2030?
Completely agree with your comments. This stock is now significantly undervalued. Some hedge funds funds have departed now, which I believe is the reason for the drop.
I’m now waiting patiently for that ride back up north again. Does anyone have any predictions as to when that will happen?
I don't understand your reasoning, Robina. The attributes of the industry are no different from when you invested, they are intrinsic, not reasons to sell now. The pundits give reasons for their optimism specific to the stock, so if you disagree you should have solid rebuttal points, not vague suspicions. "Where it operates" is 13 different regions, more if you include the parent company, and it's the fastest growing population on the planet - most investors see that as a positive. If you see it as yet another vague, unspecified negative for some reason, then it seems odd that you chose to invest here, given the vast choice of investments available. Stocks go up and down for many reasons. Selling when they are down doesn't seem like the best timing, unless you think they are a basket case. I'd suggest there are obvious reasons why they are down now, very little to do with costs or geography, and obvious reasons for positivity too: just look at the growth and the dividend.
I don't get all the positivity from a wide range of pundits. It goes against the current downward trend and makes me suspicious but of course they're not in cohoots.
Telecoms is fraught with difficulties and a bottomless pit of investment costs. Plus, look at where it operates.
I'm well down on my investment here and can't decide on whether to get out now or not.
Good Dividend in June c.4.5% reckon we'll see some capital appreciation up to this date..recommended buy in the Times...low price...good market potential....bought £20k at 105.
Bought the dip. Wasn't expecting to increase holding and 1st time I've added since it went over £1.

Just risk off investors scaling out of FTSE100 portfolios and trackers, has a knock on effect as shares are sold
More likely due to the likelihood that the European Central Bank will probably accelerate interest rate rises to help out Credit Suisse. This started with US regulation cancellation under the previous administration, which eventually lead to the SVB bank failure, and now looks likely to cause a hike in the cost of borrowing worldwide, and possibly some flight of capital from stocks to interest bearing investments. AAF may be affected in terms of the cost of borrowing, but I don't think it's a major concern
like almost every other share in the UK...mostly based on budget day and general malaise...
like the proverbial??
knows what has caused the slump today ? Surely nothing to do with SVB.
was the wag that mentioned 180p.............
Heads up that the SP will possibly experience some volatility in reaction to a new president to replace Buhari, and the expected currency devaluation which is likely to follow, as mentioned by Joberalo a couple of weeks ago
that it is moving up, now over 10% in 6 weeks, and bar the odd retrace on profit taking a more realistic price i think will be £1.50....for no other reason than the market will want to know that costs are under control, the latest RNS upset the apple cart somewhat, but if the board make the right noises then who knows.....
This is moving up well since manipulated drop ... finally starting to reflect true value as highly profitable grwoth stock ... onwards and upwards .. top up on any pullback, can see this going £2 plus just to match valuation of debt burdened peers ..
Besides, if I had the influence to affect the price of a £4.5Bn mkt cap company then I wouldn't be wasting my time here with you lot :)
July last year it was over 170p . Is the business better or worse since then? Subscribers up or down? Payment numbers up or down? The only possible argument is they have overpaid for 5G, and remain vulnerable to currency fluctuations. Otherwise it is hardly a ramp saying its going to trade within its 12 month range.
why not wait till 2025, £150 a share nae probs
