I won't be selling, for some years yet, if ever!
Nice to see the SP rise, and if it clears £1 I will be happy to drop this dog and walk away with a small profit it's not one of my best investments.
Hey trolls
My credit card debt paid from my wage today. Looks like my last week 13k shares top up at average 76.9 pence have a sence. Patience, analysis and perceiving facts. And now back to the EURO.
Third attempt.
Congratulations to the patient investors.
Slightly worrying. I warn a poster for anti semitic hate speech. I go away for a week only to return and find the same poster putting up the name of a notorious holocaust denier on an investment forum for no real reason. Just random.
It is pretty clear what kind of views Pogo holds. He backs a war that may have killed as many as 500,000 young men.
The stench around him is now so bad that people who regularly posted here are nowhere to be seen. The usual apologists for hate speech will now all step forward and throw the usual insults my way but Pogo has taken this forum to new depths.
There seems to be resistance at 80p.
Hopefully we can close at 80p or over and gain traction from there.

I think you are right as I see another stock that got a rating upgrade and it is up 3%.
I think it would have be good if the rise is due to the short closing. Anyways we can see the short tracker update on Monday.
Not shorts. JP Morgan increased price target to 120p from 112p
When you see a rise like this without any news then it is shorts closing IMO
probably they closed it when it fell to 75p
Now question is why did they close now?
May be they were nursing loss and buybacks are not letting SP to drop to 60s?
I still think this will linger here until the election results. Remember also that the guidance for revenue in Q2 is lower and if election news and debates doesnt boost the revenue then market will not like it.
Buy the dips for now.
AIMO
Yes great to see such a good start, but we all know it won't last even though we all want it to.
Would be nice to see 82p-85p but wouldn't be surprised to see 77p again. that's life.
Very strong straight out of the gate…

You have to be a real idiot or have no idea about investing in shares at all not to be aware that if the buyback is making 40 to almost 80 percent of the turnover on the share market until 4:30 p.m. daily, something is in the air. And it is definitely not the time to sell the company's shares. However, bragging about your indolence and stupidity, constantly bringing up the past and complaining about the CEO to cover up your failures resulting from lack of knowledge, in the face of completely different facts, slowly starts to stink of total hypocrisy. I understand that if the ITV share price reaches £1.50, we will also blame the CEO for the stupidity...??
If we have a leave £1.2 we should get very fast £1.5 and over. The prospect of a return to the FTSE100 index means purchases of index funds, further broker updates and new investors in the company. I spoke lots of this before.
Another broker up date now £1.20.
Every one helps to push that SP up.

I wish I knew what the anti semite was on about but his translation app fails yet again. Is he arguing that the accumulated dividend since 2017 offsets some of the loss in the valuation in the share????? Is he that stupid?
Making a comparison to 2017 dividend also fails as under Crozier there was a special dividend. It was not sustainable and Carolyn axed it right from the start.
Accumulated knowledge about the markets and finances are sadly lacking from our Ukrainian spammer. He still fails to grasp that there is minimal upside to ITV. The studios make up the majority of the share valuation as the free to air is quickly becoming unprofitable and loss making. Not my words..... The CEO emailed all staff to announce 200 job cuts with a very negative outlook for the broadcasting side of ths business.
Well when you do the next A.I test can you tick the summarisation and grammar box, make all our lives easier
Tomomalley?

It's perfect but this Russian troll have many more names on this forum. My AI test find minimum two more nick's used by this rat. And to tell the truth, you don't have to know what about talking AI test - you need just read opinions made by some trolls on this forum. After that you know exactly who is who.
Back to ITV.
Ah, as I understand that all investors are remember about divi paid by ITV - this 76p today is not a same as 76pence in 2022, .. isn't include 13.3 pence in divi. When we talking about £2 in 2017 nice to be remember about 36.5 pence paid in dividends up to today. If you're include dividends paid up to today, you should little change point of view on ITV shares price, and that should be always included in in the assessment of a joint-stock company paying dividends against the market. Well, idiots don't remember, and trolls don't really want to talk about it, because it can definitely change the market picture or change the data that should be taken into account when technically assessing a company.
Knowledge about the market and finances does not come from nowhere. Neither do the long-term effects of our investing in the stock market.

it is quite clear from your writings, grammar and syntax that you are clearly from Eastern Europe, is that why you are deliberately provoking Tom due to his postings about Russia and political views. It was said last week by two posters about their frustration that this board is dominated by a few posters with little being relative to ITV. I was clearly part of that as I posted (partly) in defence of you for what you was being accused of. However with no provocation you have continued to provoke that has led to further posts and the cycle continues. Why can't you just stick to ITV and perhaps your nemesis will do the same. Just think on.

I can not see how it has opted so much with all the share buying today .?
All three media was doing the same before being bought out for one and a half million this year .it had just closed down its production office in New York and discharged all of its staff .
ITV sounds like it is in a crisis. 'Stars' under danger of being fired and advertising revenues falling, says The Sun. Could just be the Murdoch empire trying to undermine ITV of course.
FWIIW, I suspect Schofield will be back on the sofa of 'This Morning' come the start of the Autumn season once Summer is over.

Yes, it's true. No one wins.
There are practically no other forms of investing your capital on the market apart from the stock market. So the market will accept any changes. This was the case in the past, so let's not panic. Despite everything, the Labour Party are not idiots. They are therefore aware of the need to attract investment funds to companies to enable them to develop and increase tax revenues. A change in the investment attitude of private investors and the inflow of this money to the market would increase inflation and in the long term limit tax revenues. I will also remind you that the current Conservative government has actually increased our taxes on both dividends and capital, and has announced exactly the same in the future. After reading your comments for a long time sometimes I think that you should sell all your shares and take a break from the stock exchange forever.
Labour have almost confirmed they will be putting up CGTax maybe to the same level as income tax, which will mean much higher tax on Divi 's and savings over your allowance and they may even drop your allowance level.
I think that will/could lead to lower share prices etc.
Maybe the time to sell everything and load up ISA's and savings, or just spend it all and enjoy ourselves.
Hi Pogo, I think you will find that the government spend over £400bn on Covid and furlow to support all of us through it,
and for Labour to say the government put up taxes is a bit rich when they supported all this help and support given.
The truth is at some stage this will all have to be paid back, most people know this but don't want to see it happen and Labour are playing on this. Labour will have to put up many things or higher debt which again we will all have to pay back at some stage. NO one wins.
I don't think that any new or old government have any big chance to change a lot in this financial situation in UK. We spent over £200 billion in covid-19 time for everything and nothing. Now it's time to pay bills. In politics left not to much space for change in taxes, just different faces, names and party have got same sh*** to fix. Without hard and unpopular change in refugee politics, with cutting in benefits and and without forcing people to finally start working at their own expense and not reach out to the government, there is no chance for any changes. The deepening deficit of budget can be eliminated either by increasing taxes or by increasing and greater control of spending. Unfortunately, this country is going for years into huge dark deep hole, more and more people live on the state's money, at the same time considering that maintaining them is the duty of any government. The fear of defeat in the elections increases the powerlessness of those who is in power. Without cutting this approach, we have no chance for greater changes. In addition, we finally have to deal with illegal immigration. And contrary to appearances, this is only a political decision. Rebuilding the benefits system and making them dependent on legal residence in the UK, legal work and paying taxes here, no criminal record before coming to the UK, and not recognising the acquisition of British citizenship with birth in the UK if both parents were here illegally or have only temporary status - together with unconditional extradition combined with a ban on entry to the UK for at least 10 years and loss of future right to apply for asylum, would very quickly reduce the problem to a minimum. And then we could really, as a country, help people those who want to come to the UK because they are need this real help. Without solving this problem, every government will look for more and more money in our pockets, because the problem will grow, having an impact on both the overload of the health service and problems in the housing sector. So either it will squeeze it out of us with taxes or higher inflation. Unfortunately, I do not believe that as a society or the government we are finally able to deal with this. Harder times must come, which will force us to sort this out.
Finally I will stay with my 310k shares stake in ITV which should be little higher on the end of this month.
And today again nearly 50% up to 16.30 made by buyback.
Serious question - so what would you do if they go up 5% instead?
Would you accept a 5.5% smaller position with the same funds after stamp duty cost , or would you add 5.5% new cash to buy back the same position?

Oh and talking of sporting events..... BBC has the Olympics and BBC gets higher audiences than ITV now so those 2 weeks of world class live sporting events every day and night will eat into ITV audience shares and revenues. Only 1 hour ahead in Paris so all ITV daytime and evening audiences are going to take drastic hits over those 2 weeks.
Maybe they will just screen Bond films in an attempt to reduce costs. Khohkol will be excited to watch "From Russia with love".
Moving away from your acceptance that you used offensive and anti semitic language on a public forum and your inability to apologise......
Anyway ITV will not enter the FTSE100 anytime this soon. This has been done many times before and they are a long way off the valuation they need to be to even be considered.
No bull market with ITV. Purely bubacks. Nothing has changed since March 2022 and the ITV shambolic launch.
Drop in interest rates will be offset by the Election result which is now certainly a Labour governemnt which will see higher taxation and less investment.
Upcoming sports events we do every year here. The shrill commentators get all excited but forget that it costs ITV almost as much for the rights and production costs as they make in revenue. Rugby World Cup last summer, Qatar World Cup 18 months ago. No significant effect to ITV profit. Maybe just additional revenue and costs.
Upward movement is just wishful thinking. I say 60p again in November. Pogo says 120. All just guesswork and no factual basis for either projection.
Moving away from the troll issue and back to the topic of this forum.
What do you think the near future of ITV's share price looks like? In my opinion, next week we will see another attempt to break through the 80 pence level. As I have already written, observing the turnover (when we separate clearly agreed transactions), we can see a lack of acceptance for the current level of share valuation, where daily turnover without the presence of buyback transactions on the market often does not exceed 2 million shares. This clearly suggests a withdrawal of supply with demand being withheld, and waiting for a clearer price movement from the buyers. In the background, we can see (at least for now) a lack of interest from larger players in moving to a much higher share price level, with a probable strong increase in the share price after breaking through the current resistance and, in the perspective as a result of this break, consequences related to the market's play on entering the FTSE100 index. From my point of view, we can see further calm accumulation of shares and waiting for a signal from the external market or from ITV itself. Will the third attempt to break through the 80 pence level and then maintain the price in the 85-89 pence range succeed this time? I think we have a good chance of that. Since at least February this year I have been writing about the reasons for the bull market that should come to ITV, the expected period and its necessary conditions (those visible to everyone and not just a few). One of them, after the improvement in forecasts that we have already seen, was to be a drop in interest rates in the UK, creating strong demand pressure for financially stable dividend companies. And this reduction in my opinion,observing external markets but above all economic data from Great Britain, should be expected on June 20. Add to this the upcoming sports events that significantly affect ITV's finances, the decisive signaled increase in profits from the advertising segment of competitors, growing recommendations for the valuation of ITV and the entire segment of this market, etc., it should be assumed that this may be a good moment for a significant upward movement in the ITV share price. It is also important to be aware that whoever initiates this move has a chance to remove the last significant block of share supply from the market before the competition does so and before we break through the £1.0-£1.20 levels. Investors who will return to investing in ITV in the second half of the year will take care of making it profitable, if of course the financial forecasts presented by the Board are fulfilled, which at least I do not doubt. So I maintain my assessment of the successful movement of the ITV share price and entering the range above 80 pence by the end of June (and ahead of the decision to cut interest rates). As every time it's only my private opinion depending of market situation, but I think with huge chance to win.

This would be a much better and more useful place if certain adversaries would exchange their social media accounts and continue their rants there, rather than here. I'd welcome informed and considered discussion about ITV but their contributions don't even have much to do with the price of fish.
Oh dear Tom, No hate crime just your delusions and hypersensitivity . You provided a link that gave insight into why you felt the way you do that. I advised now we have context so let’s wait and see. Pogo responded and did not use the word. Your response was to twist the situation and declare a hate crime. You should(but you won’t) be ashamed of yourself as there are real injustices that merit that title.
Single handedly? So you too are choosing to ignore what has been agreed by Janus is a hate crime. I have provided documented evidence that what Pogo has done on 4 occassions is a racial slur and recognised as a hate crime.
You Baldy were quick to call me out 15 months ago when I criticised the Dame's poor choice of dress suggesting I am a misogynist and yet you fail to call out anti semitism.
Oh and Pogo that looks far from an apology? Would love to know your true origins and family story. As I said my Great Uncle landed on the beaches in Normandy. He would be shocked to see people allow your overt r@cism to go unchecked. So far I am the only one calling you out on it.
I wonder if Tom is proud of himself. He has almost single handed made this forum a very toxic place to visit.
A Russian troll pointing out that someone has a strong negative and very bad opinion about him is ridiculous and distracts from the problem and the language used by the same troll. As for me, accusing me of any beliefs is idiotic at best, if you look at who I am, my nationality or the history of my family. This Russian troll is just a troll, and moreover ignorant when it comes to ITV, pouring his own venom and frustration over the real discussion about the company, its prospects and predictions for the future held on this forum. Using multiple nicknames and accounts is to create the impression that someone agrees with his arguments, most often offensive towards the CEO. And it will remain that way, nothing will change here as long as this behavior is tolerated and "it" participates in the discussion.

More insults?
Russian is back in Moscow where she has a high paid job. Way smarter than you Solley. If anything I am her bimbo.
This share is performing very well against the market trend at the moment . I can not understand why you have time on your hands ti constantly to endeavour to down tread it unless you are trying to get it down to 60 p to buy in cheaply why. don’t you spend more time looking after your Russian Bimbo whatever.
Playground taunts? Winnie you really are doing a good job of destroying any credibility you have.
Winnie is dishonest. She posts lies and spin and then resorts to personal insults when her lies are questioned.
ITV is heading back to 60p. The shorters will move in as the buybacks fund dwindles. Ratings can only fall as ITV cannot afford the big productions anymore. Budgets slashed and daytime tv revamped to lower budget productions.
This is a company that is going the way of Woolworths and BHS.
Everyone is still laughing at you, and your altered egos, Tom.

Pogo has been promising higher SP for the last 12 months and failing every time.
Yes ITV is in terminal decline. They needed a CEO who could reverse that trend. It is not McCall. Booted off the Burberry board. Made to leave the Tesco Board. She chose to leave Easyjet where her renumeration was linked to performance for a contract at ITV where she could just polish her nails and drink sparkling wine all day with celebrities.
The whole markets are due a 10%+ correction before the end of the year . Pessimism everywhere if you bother to read business news.
No way this will sustain high 70s.
Wimbledon Tom – aka Sesame Street Tom as you are either or womble or a muppet – if you worked in the TV industry you would understand the fall in share price of an ad-related channel. Netflix, Amazon, Prime, TikTok, Facebook etc. etc. etc. have all taken away the revenue available to a channel that relies on linear advertising. By investing in making a better on-demand platform (ITVX) and Planet V, ITV can again start to enjoy ad revenue again, but that takes time. Under any CEO ITV was going to struggle, even before the pandemic, when nothing could be made, and writers strikes which hit really hard.
Ups, sorry I lost something
"successful, over 90% that no later than just after 20th June. And ..."
In my opinion we will welcome July with a price over 80 pence, possible 86-89 with still a big fluctuation, although a few-session 15-20% increase is possible at any time and should definitely clear the market. After the recent decreasing turnover (when you separate visible agreed transactions and activity when buyback comes into this game) it is clear that most market participants do not agree with the current level of ITV shares valuation - those speculative and focused on several percent profits will be cut off after the first dynamic increase and a slight withdrawal, which is supposed to suggest a deeper correction. So at least I am waiting for another injection of cash and maybe I will happen to buy before a bigger movement.
And Russian troll, rat etc it will always remain the same insignificant trash.
pogrom pogo uses the ****** and anti semitic slur again despite having it pointed out that is extremely offensive. pogo pledges allegiance to ukraine. a people that were 2nd only to the germans for ethnic cleansing of jews and poles 1941-1944.
he has no shame.
A rat emerged from its hole...
65% that the next attempt to break through the 80 pence level will be successful, over 90% that after 20th June. And so we will find ourselves in a range where resistance can only be £1.0-£1.20.

Hi tom, I think this year is going to be different from last in that the SP isn't going to fall back into the 60's or low 70's and we now have everything to look forward to.
Nice Divi last week and good positive things to look forward to plus another 1.7p ish this year and now the first £1.10 broker price target.
OK these brokers never know what they are talking about or get the price target correct but at least it give the path the SP is heading. So much better news and feelings now.
Broker updates but nobody mentions BGT final ratings. Lower than lasy year. Hard to justify the 100m pricetag to Fremantle. Bookies are giving odds of 6-1 on it being cut from next years schedule. With Ant and Dec also cut from next years schedule it is looking hard to find a ratings puller for Saturday night. Eurovision on BBC smashed BGT in the ratings.
Crisis at ITV and yet people keep on urging others to buy.
Stop all this offensive talk, just look at the new broker up-date £1.10 must be better news coming soon.
