Hi Zac.

When you say ... The MSCI Asia Pacific Index (ex Japan) is flat during the 5 year period. HFEL is 9% down over the same period ... is that for share price or total return?

Any STX mention in Investors Chronicle this week does anyone know?

Sometimes that can inform a wider public and fuel enthusiasm....

But would you still buy Apple pods if they changed their name to Caramba??

Good to see a steady pulse of decent buying continuing - notwithstanding the Jupiter situation - consolidating our mini breakout from the pattern just below 8p.

Hopefully the recent good update will help to increase our profile both here and across the pond too with the US float there.

Looking forward a bit I'm just wondering what the price impact might be when we reach the £100 mio capitalisation mark (around 14-15p I guess) if that would automatically bring us up on additional fund's radar and might result in a significant hike higher at that stage. Any thoughts out there?

I suppose there's a lot of sense there especially from a non UK perspective and maybe encouraging that the company is being proactive and future looking but I still feel weird about it being called Melbourne Cricket Ground out of the blue. Whatever NEX?

Suggest over 5.50% increase is more than a little tick :o

Could get used to that every day for a bit for sure!

Forward p/e of 1.5 I would also suggest warrants some positive investigation which doubtless will result in further little ticks to come...

For Bittenpill:

"PayPoint also has said that it will announce its preliminary results for the latest financial year in early July.

The group said that it had needed to delay the announcement in order to complete statutory accounting and audit work related to its acquisition of Appreciate Group"

That's very kind of you @MarkBell. Thank you.

Always interesting to see the views of others.

And a target price of 1100p to boot !!?

Wonder what the catalyst will be to turn the tide for PAY to begin that heady climb!

There's income while we wait although I'm in nearer the 580 mark so quite as much for me as is currently on offer.

Hi MarkBell, you mentioned that you invested here following reading a very positive in depth broker note.

Is that something you could share a link to?

I am getting a bit a bit bemused by the share price's current journey south and need some inspiration!

I'm hoping for confirmation of a now fully hired staff contingent plus more positive sales news which will substantiate and underpin future projections which will in turn illuminate $ signs in the eyes of many potential investors!
We will hopefully also get to see what sort of market action Viatris has been able to acheive the extent of which, as a company with secure established links and a trusted name, we are yet to fully discover.

Pleasing to see the recent rise in the STX share price over the last week.
Some pretty consistent selling of 100,000 blocks of shares into the recent strength over the past couple of days at least though.
Always intrigues me as to who might want to do that and why. Understand taking some profits as you go of course but this seems a bit early in the piece, for me anyway.
Guess also it depends how much you've got left after!

Our share price is just being controlled by diddly computer trades at the moment. There's nothing going on in the real world. Al Gorithm has a lot to answer for...

Er ... not quite so sure there Quickdip on a raging second hand bus market!

Think rolling stock will actually come under depreciating assets as you're not going to get an inflation cost adjusted sale price for a bus 3 or 4 years down the line otherwise you'd have life insurance companies investing in them :))

The strike action has given those of us fortunate enough to have an extra bus fare or two in our back pocket a wonderful chance to either get involved or top up at an amazing entry point.

Yh I'm aporoaching that position myself only having a small top amount available and need to keep discipline from a portfolio balance point of view rather than get caught up in the emotion of the moment.
Hoping for a longer term increase in the dividend payout which will hopefully follow increasing profit margins/cash flow to allow for sufficient cover. But it's then that percentage div increases when the sp is higher has a greater affect on shares bought at this level which is part of the attraction.

Sorry that should have been asked of TopShare Picker...
It's hopefully got to be a bit more than just a target price as Locky82 says..

And what are you looking for here Paddyboy before scratching..?

What price did you get asiddall.

I'm in the process of averaging down too.

Last in at 119.98. Average 1.51.

Naturally the price drops as soon as I observed the price had been stable all day!

Guessing that now all approved in the General Meeting the price has dropped a tad to dissuade sellers and attract potential buyers....

Bit surprised I suppose that shares were left on the table in the open offer..

My apols I thought today was the day the new shares came to market but it's (earliest) tomorrow of course.

So unnecessary wearing of hard hat today!

Fair bit of selling today though without affecting the market price but we'll have to wait until tomorrow I guess for the proper action to begin...

Looks like you might have been able to apply for a few more in the final analysis Warno!
Still easy with hindsight.

Hard hats on for tomorrow's action!

Wonder what will transpire?
