Not that fractions of pennies matter - but 28.80 already happened earlier today - and now too..

Historically trend wise i'm expecting the pullback though :-)

I'd like to see new CFO back 100k or so of shares soon - that'd be a good sign of confidence and continue the momentum of the share price.

Followed shortly by new CEO, then close PTA discussions......and maybe off-load the UK business to set the rocket alight :-)

I wouldn't be too concerned by Citadel Advisors LLC - i don't think they're in the same league as Wace.

When they previously shorted Kingfisher - strategy seemed all over the place.

Anyone shorting at these levels is completely risk adverse imho.

Positive

- I wasn't expecting a CFO change in all honesty - new CFO looks marginally better on paper than Helen, but only just i'd say - at least not a step backwards.

- I'm hoping for better share price movement with the announcement of a good turnaround CEO.

- News of Adj.Op profit is welcomed.

- Shorts reduced.

- Update on school bus sale.

Neutral

- Can't see the share price moving north that much based on the above (although logically it should) , albeit all very good and welcome news.

- no significant debt maturities due until the second half of 2027 - skeptical on this as i thought Feb 2026 was the date ?

Negative

- I'd like to see some closure announced on German PTA discussions - gone on for far too long.

Anyone got an explanation for these in recent trades ? - i'm still trying to learn the meaning of seeing these in "recent trades"

Echoes of wise words uttered by Firepower1 "When do shorts ever get it wrong" :-)

Divide that figure by 100 though raamsudhakar.

LT holders know they should have sold ages ago - but at these levels, most holdings are worth peanuts, whether it goes to 20p, 10p or even zero - so selling isn't really an option, unless completely cash strapped - and if anyone was completely cash strapped, then they wouldn't or shouldn't have been here gambling in the first place.

Personally i'll be having a cold beer this weekend, in the sun and won't be worrying about this share - it was written off a long while ago, with hope of a one day turnaround, of which there is some glimmer.

@Firepower1 "Shorts are increasing,, when do they ever get it wrong,"

One is increasing and one is reducing - so one of them has got it wrong :-)

At the end of day, buying stocks, shorting stocks - it's all a guess/gamble - no one really knows for sure which way it's going.

@kingrav - potentially and to all extent and purposes, historically, death by 1000 cuts here - but when i last looked at other companies MC had shorted - it got quite a few wrong.

MW reducing.... seem to have called it right a number of times.

FluffyPower, perhaps time to close your positions ;-)

I agree could well easily drop to 20p, ......yet not a single analyst has this as a "sell" - they're all either buy or hold.

On the other hand could just as easily go to 40p, with good news of a turnaround CEO.

Is that a glitch in LSE "recent trades" ?

Lots of 2023/2024 trades

e.g.

13-Sep-23 10:39:57 84.85 91 Unknown* 25.98 26.06 77.21

something to do with shorts/borrowed shares / glitch / something else ?

Cosmens voted "against" a RI i believe back in 2012 also, maybe something under consideration again ?

back then they had something like 18% control.....much higher now though.

I think i read that as, last year they planned to re-elect him (Resolution 7) and now the RNS is about withdrawing that Res 7.

Made sense in my head at least.

Bit of a "nothing" RNS though but at least no return for the clown.

MW, usually are on the money when it comes to shorts and have reduced....perhaps Smokey knows something they don't.

Very much doubt any LTH'er cares if it goes to 20p at this stage, - most will have no intention of selling in the near term and will have written off invested funds here and come to terms with it too, albeit with an eye on the future.

I'll be interested to see if a good turnaround CEO is brought in, which hopefully isn't that far off.

Maybe already commented on in chat ? Only just noticed personally.

A few other changes (other than the ones known) on the Group Exec list for Mobico,

Gone:

Karen Myres - Group HR & Corporate Communications Director

Emer McNally - Group Chief Information Officer

New:

Catherine Lynch: Interim Chief People Officer

"I've been reading the posts on this board for almost 2 years......"

And decided to make your first post this week.......and decided to sell just now too.......

@firepower1 posted yesterday "My advise sell, save what you can"

Presume you've sold then and are about to leave the chat and wish us all the best then ? :-)

@HarChris, i agree, who even creates an account, has less than 10 posts and joins a board just to tell you how bad the company is.

......shorters et al :-)
