Operating profit is likely 14.0% ahead of market expectations

Rev stabilised and growing

Good backlog

Good costs reduction

Margins intact

Price is still way below historic levels and looking good value

FY 2023 rev over double guidance and EBITDA loss within guidance

FY2024 rev to double again or more and EBITDA to almost halve

Happy with this

Oh, 'ello - here we go again - a bit of afternoon buying and we're up 12% again

Yes, I've JUST(!) doubled my holding in both.

Stunning results from Just.

But also very happy with LGEN's performance and willing to be patient for fundamentals to feed through to the price once markets are in a happier place.

£210k chairman buy is gratifying to see he agrees with me that this is a great chance to scoop up cheap shares on the back of fabulous interims.

20,000 at GBP 10.51 = GBP 210,200.00

Sadly I didn't have £200k spare to throw at this, but beat him on averaging 1044 for my very modest splurge.

"The declared dividend will be paid on 20 September 2023, with an ex-dividend date of 24 August 2023 and a record date of 25 August 2023."

Looks like you need to Google "Uncrossing trade". In layman's terms, as I understand it (not very well), it's the end of day SETS uncrossing trade sorting out buys and sells left on the market makers' books at a suitable average.

Anybody's guess what we'll get tomorrow. Price-wise that is. I'm expecting good results and I note the price veered away upward from the rest of the banking sector this afternoon.

But then looking over the financial services fence at Hiscox today, fabulous results turned into a bargain hunter's delight on the price, so you never can tell.

Looks like the price has turned a corner for today as well. Gutted to have missed the chance to snaffle some at 1010p. But nice to see a bit of sanity returning into the close.

Profit jumped x 10

ROE surged to nearly 20% from 2.6% a year ago, on annualised basis.

Alliance news say "The company explained that this is a combined effect of the insurance service result of USD221.4 million, up 58% on the prior period from USD140.2 million, and the improved investment result of USD121.8 million, compared to a loss of USD214.1 million, as higher bond reinvestment yields begin to earn through.

Notably, the firm reported a net fair value gain on financial investments at fair value of GBP29.3 million, compared to a loss of GBP228.3 million a year before. "

Not such a fun day in the banking sector today. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Yes, all seems good to me and p/e ratio is well below previous levels and below other banks. I'm expecting a repeat of steady price recovery that we've seen following previous overdone falls.

Up 3650% according to my AJ Bell account today. If only!! : )

25m bought is encouraging start:

08:07:51 0.1075 25,000,000 Buy* 0.095 0.10 £26.88k

Very satisfactory : )

This is more like it! £93.75k in at 375 also indicates some more enthusiasm!

03-Aug-23 16:08:37 375.00 25,000 Buy* 374.60 375.00 93.75k

Tempted to screen shot today's graph to keep spirits up until next Thursday's results!

Buying is easy on AJBell

Yes, NAV rising nicely. Today's big sell off so far a complete mystery to me!

Raised guidance seems to be going down well so far today : )

LWHL, looks like you were right not to wait for lower 8's this time : )
