Still reading comments here about ITV being under priced and a takeover target. For the record can someone tell me how many years this has been going on ? Even when the sp was close to £2 some we saying the same thing..If there is anyone out there interested on getting ITV "on the cheap" why are they so very slow at coming forward I repeat the Question how many years. It is years not weeks or even months.
ITV under priced for a profitable well established media company with a lot of IP and back catalogues etc aside advertising. Vulnerable to a takeover especially if it stays below 80p after the share buy backs are completed. The buybacks should underpin the price if we get any black swan events like a war escalation
BBC radio 4. Cannot be beaten. Good business updates in the morning . Real news as opposed to the TV bulletins that run "human interest" guff for a dumbed down tv audience.
BBC, despite what some might think, is the most trusted news outlet in the world - verified.
No comment.
Guardian ... or the BBC as an independent and objective source of information.

BigEgo,
I should have recognised your perspective. Absolutely, ITV should embrace trade opportunities instead of letting them slip into the hands of platforms like YouTube.
Well, it seems the UK is on a one-way ticket to Americanisation. The whole 'getting our country back' spiel boils down to willingly signing up for second-class membership in the American fan club.
I say take the cash! Otherwise lose it to YouTube…!

Pogo,
RE: ‘All attention is still on Israel.’
Unfortunately, they won’t let it drop ‘Israel will ‘exact price from Iran … when time is right’

Some idiots are setting a 'Buy limit order', just in case the fallout rubs off!

No weekend Izrael army response.
Israel exchange stock up on Sunday.
Any ITV share price under 90 pence is a good profit opportunity.
Monday's session start... idiots are everywhere, but end in green for ITV. I think closing price about 71.50.
All attention is still on Israel. Unfortunately, understanding the situation of this country, it must be clearly said: this prime minister has been the cause of many tragedies and the lack of vision to end the conflict with Palestine for many years.
STOCK MARKET
This situation will be much more painful for airlines shares stock market and especially for WIZZAIR. This company after last 2 months petrol prices rise, problems with existing aircraft and delays in inspections, delays up to 1 year in the delivery of new aircraft, losses of travel market and limitation of the flight network, ... and another failure which was the resumption of flights to Israel and the Middle East at the expense of European connections. What was supposed to save the company's finances will turn out to be a very expensive and yet another mistake. So, for those who like risk and large changes in share prices, I recommend (not first time) playing with these shares.
How low will we go?
Of course, it may not happen but, keep your powder dry:
The ongoing geopolitical tensions, currently in the news, are likely to hurt most stocks. Hopefully, the challenging situation will be resolved soon for the sake of everyone. From a purely investment standpoint, it might be prudent to act promptly and seize potential opportunities for profit while they're available.
Winstanley - thanks good article, the Variety ones are usually worth reading.
What struck me reading this one was the number of countries ITV sell a program to - I lost count! Impressive.
Previous news reports praising the viewership numbers seem to support the narrative. While not significant enough for a regulatory news service (RNS) announcement, they do indicate that ITV's necessary restructuring efforts under McCall are yielding positive results.

It seems perfectly plausible, from an established source, and reiterated by Yahoo News. You do know what streaming is, eh?

Plain common sense makes me very sceptical about the validity of those figures. Strikes me as a throwback to the days when people used to brag about how many hits their website had received.
Alboumphoto,

Winstanly. Please explain the figure of 36 million to me. Does it mean roughly half the population has watched it? Coronation Street now attracts a viewing audiences of less than 3 million so I would love to know how you arrive at a figure of 36 million for a programme I've never heard of.
...to boot:
AMC Networks launches ITVX streaming offer.

The streaming side of things continues to flourish!
Trigger Point season two is officially the most-streamed show of the year so far on ITVX.
With all six episodes now available to watch, it's been revealed that 8.6 million views were accumulated on launch, and the audience continues to grow. Together with season one, Trigger Point streaming figures clock in at over 36 million.
No opinion on SOFI, but what is your time-frame on the rest that you have highlighted here?
The first two are already grossly overvalued right now, but at least they are high quality outfits, not facing a likely capital raise, which the third one feasibly might be.
Worried that you have ITV on your list now! Hopefully you have called that one good, but reckon we are looking at 60's here now :)
Good weekend all.
Good morning fellow investors in the UK!
DiamondHans is here to let you know that thanks to increasingly positive noise around the ITV Studios US asset we have added ITV to the DiamondHans '5 Star' portfolio - and we are adding aggressively then holding until a takeover of ITV Group - whenever that may be...
NVDA - Holding
AAPL - Holding
RIVN - Adding
ITV - Adding
SOFI - Adding
To the Moon!
Best,
Hans

Why is there so much interest from overseas buyers in British companies?
The UK stock market is lowly valued and the pound is cheap so if you’re an overseas buyer, you’re buying a cheap company in a cheap currency. The UK is trading at a 40% discount to global equities.
Do you expect any other companies in your portfolio to get approached?
ITV is an obvious takeover target. It runs the second largest studios business in the world and more than 50% of its profits come from outside the UK.
