Who's contacted investor relations?
CEO

Normal trading volume declared so far today.
3* trading volume yesterday on results, with price manipulated by the market
No short positions declared.
I'm long in this and continue to do so, but what is going on in the backgroud? In my simple mind the tree is being shaken for the MMs to build up stock by clearing automated stop losses. A share in this size company does not drop 6% on good results unless there is somehting that is known and not yet in the public realm.
I'm hanging in there and rising the wave. Bound to fall off and drown :o(
Been invested in this company for years. SP always unpredictable - drops like a stone and takes an age to recover ground. It’s always one step forward then three or four back.
All this on the day of a broker upgrade?
WTF?
Yes, it's all a little curious isn't it - fairly positive results and a 5% fall. I am still under water with S&N by perhaps 6% but I've today averaged down at 1057 and have confidence that patience will be rewarded - hopefully within the next few months
Might have a look at this when it's sub 900p, not before.
Agree with CC. The CEO is doing his job and delivering improving fundamentals. He doesn't control the market.
I'm long and staying long and am pleased with the update.
Patience ... imho
Anyone pick up any rumours today?
This drop feels a bit unnatural.
Representing another good buy opportunity in my opinion

HD, most British shares these days are equally disappointing IME. In a wasteland of gloom I have very few stellar performers. Despite a few rare trading opportunities my head remains pushed just beneath the waves. Like you I shall hold on and wait for the life boat to arrive.
Stop sitting on the fence HumptyDumpty, it wont end well for you, perhaps shares in Shell might be more up your street? :)
My god this company is frustrating. It's one of those shares I keep thinking will get there eventually, but it just doesn't and in the meantime I'm losing profits that could be made elsewhere. I just can't bring myself to sell though. That continual (and long repeated) hope of a bid just keeps me here. Please someone make a bid so I can get out!!!
I would. Remember the share price was above £18 not so long ago. Was way below the worst of the COVID dip just last year ….. and just keeps crawling up a bit before dropping back again. Company needs a kick up the backside.
I hope I’m proved wrong of course!
Company hit revenue and increased profit margin... how can you call for the CEO's head.
Market games being played with the share price yes, but my strategy here is measured in years not hours.
I wonder if you'd call for the CEO's head if the 4.5% from this morning held.
Completely agree with Mulder - CEO is just not up to the job. All the earlier gains from this morning are lost after a decent Q4 report - what is going on here!
Such a positive update by share price is down. I was hoping for at least a 4-5% rise today but it’s gone down instead!
Very disappointing that the rise has once again been sold into. CEO needs to go IMO.
Soames has also disappointed so far.
Get the company sold.
No shorts listed but this has been shorted today IMO.
Momentum with SN. lol hope you all trimmed? I did not and am adding.
I'm happy. Revenue ahead of guidance, profits up and above all solid FCF and increased EPS. Positive outlook for year ahead. Orthopaedics business on the up. What's not to like? We're in for a good year of SP recovery and growth imho
Yes, I'm pleasantly surprised. Now let's hope we can build some momentum...
Market has reacted positively. Seems to be breaking out nicely.
Underwhelmed... Think we might see a dip :(
I sold out last year because I was sick of hearing about this 12 point plan and lost patience with this CEO.
He has had enough time now to turn things around so I'm expecting a good update here... If not he will be under big pressure.
Let's see what tomorrow brings. GL all!!
Look how well Stryker is doing.
The FTSE is well and truly rigged to the downside, manipulated to the max - why are boards not disclosing takeover bids?
SN must have been approached.
