It hasn't changed all the after hours trade shenanigans.
So if I'm correct that should mean more access for trading and be a good thing for the share price. Am I interpreting this RNS correctly? TT

LSE are missing quite a few RNS this morning.
@TheThinker. Pretty much same as me. I do wonder about the move to NYSE that they seem to have gone quiet on.
I also wonder about a bid before they move but not sure if all the political data they handle might make that difficult, especially if the likes of Alphabet, Meta, X etc. were interested.
"8 pounds plus bought at 1.60 i know what i be doing"
If they drop back near 800p I'll be buying more.
TT Hi , agree with . Decent solid company , cheers .
Hello @jgjam, it would have been nice to have cashed in before the dip and I've probably been a bit too passive and I could have traded between upper and lower ranges and made a bit. But this time YOU was always a long term passive play for me as I am busy making real money day to day. The plan for me was always to exit after the next election. Anywhere between 1300 and mid 1600s is where I'm looking. It's a solid share. I have a friend who bought a significant quantity at 30p years ago and won't let go of them that's how much they believe in them. Can only go up before election IMHO. Best wishes. TT
Yes last May , strong growth on capital markets day . Yes would seen huge return in 3 wks ! Are you not concerned at all about the 40% drop it had from late July until final results day in October?
There seem to be hardly any trading over those months and the company was silent . I for one was severely underwater with them then.
8 pounds plus bought at 1.60 i know what i be doing
I've got in at 163.75p back in 2016, so showing huge gains, but annoyed I didn't trade some of the peaks and dips.
I was hoping for 1200p last month but it didn't quite make it and I didn't sell any. Could have been buying them back under 900 soon after.
The coming election is a good point though, should be strong demand for their services.
Sorry @jgjam for confusion, I got £8.30 in May 2023. That was on a big drop. I posted my idea on TV and then it rose and rose. I still think that this will return to higher levels. It was always the plan to hold until the next election completes. YOU is one of those shares that have done me very well over the years. Good Luck. TT
TT, £8.30 how did you get that ? That must been chart price for a short period . On here LSE or via broker?
Election year. Polls galore means cash galore. I got in at £8.30 and perhaps I should have sold before the recent drop but I see it as just a blip on the way to even higher highs this year. Might consider topping up. TT
That's it doomed then...
IC recommend this stock last week.
Jlovie , I’ve no idea to your question but the short seems to be working. Not aware of this stock being shorted much at all . Guessing to do with the figures making the business not look so good .
Is that a new short opened by GLG yesterday or a notification of an existing one?
Chill buddy - the fundamentals of the biz are what matter. Strong buy here
Bearing in mind last July high £10.80 fell continuously til October results down to £6.85. This was off the back of robust figures that exceeded expectations. The BOD seemingly didn’t do anything to help stop the sp slide. The media reported in the July that the profits would be at the lower end of expectations and that the CEO was stepping down . The news of the CEO was announced the previous year October 22 , so nothing new to people familiar with Yougov. Steve Hatch was announced at time of Stefan Shakespeare notice period. Once full year results released they had 20 %plus rise on the day . The reporting of the above events were not accurate and had a 40% demise of the share price , whilst the BOD made no noises to correct any of it . Not great if your a substantial investor. Really seems to be a guessing game.
- reported results were hampered by true one off (deal cost)
- GFK/CPS deals is a game changer for the asset mix
- the move to 1.5x leverage is not an issue when looking at YOU cash generation. It has a 4yr term and will be reimbursed very quickly
- the macro backdrop / sales momentum is improving and accelerating
- they even upgraded their medium term outlook !
- 75% revenue visibility vs 68% last year
At this price it’s a strong buy.
Are we happy with the figures and confident re the projected forecast? With billions voting this year you would think so but market not over impressed on basis of share price reaction or lack of it!
Corry, agree with you 100% . You would expect the software & the reporting of such figures to be correct . The mm’s must also know the figures aren’t correct .
Last post from me on this topic, just a perfect example on a point I made before. I mentioned that:
“Sometimes you can both buy and sell below, or above, mid price depending on availability of stock and the demand/desire of MMs to get rid of it – you can sometimes tell what the real active spread is by looking at the trade prices going through.”
On Amaroq Minerals today you can see all trades being marked by LSE as ‘Sell’ as they are all below mid price in a spread that was reported as 82-84 all morning. The trades at 82.35 - 82.49 were in fact all initiated by someone placing a buy order with their broker and the MM has filled the order at a price below mid.
https://www.lse.co.uk/ShareTrades.html?shareprice=AMRQ&share=Amaroq-Minerals
The 84 in the spread is possibly a sell order that someone is hoping to fill at that price, once the lower priced stock is shifted (I don’t have L2 access so can’t check that) so is skewing the reported spread to the upside, despite the range where all the current activity is actually taking place.
You can see the same on yesterday’s trades within the same spread as well, with the high 82s actually being ‘buy’ in origin, despite being below mid, and those around 82 being ‘sell’.
Yet according to LSE no-one was interested in buying this stock at any time in the last two days, therefore unreliable.
I don’t think they will for some time . It had a fairly disastrous effect on the share price when they last mentioned it. .
I wonder if there will be any mention of progress in moving to NYSE.
