Taken a small position this morning @ 4355. Position equates to around 1% of my September portfolio of 18 stocks so the risk is well managed.

UVLR is not the most volatile share but IMO you need a mixture or volatile & 'steady away' stocks like UVLR in a portfolio.

From a price action POV: IMO if price moves below the 9.0 level then things could start getting interesting!

From a company POV: Way too much debt plus a falling market share & stiff competition in a crowded market!

Worth taking a position? Perhaps to take advantage of the volatility but only a position that makes up 0.25/ 0.5% of a portfolio due to the risks.

I know it's obvious to some here but for price to get back to the 24.0 level - Price would have to move 100%! For the 34.0 level (2025 year high) it's 280%!!

Just taken a small position @ 354.5. Position equates to around 1% of my September portfolio of 17 stocks so the risk is well managed.

17/9/25 - 7.0am: Consumer price inflation, UK: August 2025 time series. Comprehensive database of time series covering measures of inflation data for the UK including CPIH, CPI and RPI.

17/9/25 - 9.30am: Private rent and house prices, UK. The Price Index of Private Rents (PIPR) measures private rent inflation for new and existing tenancies. The UK House Price Index measures house price inflation.

18/9/25 - 9.30am: Median House Price and Sales Volume update - Housing affordability in England and Wales: 2024. Update to house prices and sales volume data to include quarter 4 2024 and quarter 1 2025, including breakdowns by different geographies, new and existing sales, and property types. Formerly HPSSAs.

Probably two very good reasons:

1. A run on tight stops below the recent daily lows (lows on 31st July & 14th August & 3rd September).

2. Price moved lower to a historic important level to enable large trades. Note the UT was 555000 shares with a value of 49m.

IMO This is still one for the watch list! I'd be looking for Sub 600. GLA

I closed my long position @ the back end of last year for a small profit. Sub 20 looks very attractive but I'm waiting on the side lines until they release a trading update & I have very little confidence in the current management! Others retail traders are probably thinking the same. GLA!

Great time for Holch Povlsen to up his stake to just below the 30% threshold.
