Up to 16.08% holding from 15.79%

Thanks Bladey and kd100

Same Q from me! Time to batten down the hatches or to pile in?

690p mid price to round off today looks an encouraging indicator after being stuck around 665 for several days. Happy with that.

690p just touched, so maybe Morgan Stanley now getting to where they want to be may explain it. (In fact it seems they added a bit back on the 8th)

(Typ below..meant to say "Aha! 683p revisit from 677p", not 638!

Aha! 638p revisit from 677p breather might be explained by a few bigger buys. E.g.

11-Sep-25 13:47:10 680.00 14,000 Buy* 677.00 678.00 95.20k

followed by £13k+£22k

So, yes, the issues may be pretty much contained, and SP movements currently just responding to normal buy/sell forces.

680-681.5 is highest for a week

Perking up it seems?

"Wow they must know something."...or maybe Mr Nugent, like many of us, was simply looking for ways to boost his retirement funding, alongside his property investments and thought he'd bought the drops...?

A bidder doesn't have to pay the highest the price has been in the last 12 months.

Only if it's a mandatory bid, due to the bidder having built up a 30% holding, is there a minimum price they have to offer:

Under Rule 9 of the Takeover Code, a mandatory bid is required to be made in cash (or be accompanied by a cash alternative) at the highest price paid by the bidder or any concert party for any interest in shares of the relevant class during the 12 months prior to the announcement of the mandatory bid.

Nice one, Lionel!

I have joined you with a modest £800 at 9.9.

A re-read of the AGM statement reminds me why I like SYM

Looking a bit more interesting here today

e.g

09-Sep-25 08:34:48 675.00 39,273 Buy* 673.50 675.00 265.09k

Great overview on potential numbers, thanks for posting

2nd great RNS of the day here!

Yes, mayhem hasn't been triggered by recent news articles. I won't be surprised by a steady recovery over the next few weeks.

They ARE concentrating on US. Doesn't mean they need to turn away business at home.

Today I think it's just some Daily Telegraph readers choking over their croissants, and dashing to their SIPP app on the ipad....(along with the market wide dip on news of late Budget date):

Not wishing to jinx, but steady recovery from thid morning's dip seems to be in play

Agreed it's interesting. In my amateur opinion it does show additional need for CYP2C19 testing to see if the switch from aspirin to clopidogrel is advisable.

Seemingly good return to profit, but why no mention of lifting of suspension?
