Snapper that is where you are wrong. Tennet work has already been started by PFC. That is not at risk. Nice try. All the information I have read is that Tennet is in process and started so you are assuming wrong on that one. That is where you guys are miscalcultaing and hedging your bets. You are hoping Tennet deal is dead and the other pipeline deals. Realistically those companies have to give PFC time to sort their finances out. We will see tomorrow. You will either be saying I told you so or you will be running for the hills.
Unreal ! Morgan Stanley come in give a downgrade. The MM drop it like a brick. Others part of their cult come in a mop up while it hits the retail investors stop losses. What a business and a web of evil they weave. But then again a few must have made money thanks to these smucks.
That is correct. Like Mary said when it gets an upgrade does not move and when it is downgraded it drops like a brick. They pumped it down. Hit stop losses all the way down. Be interesting to see what happens after the US Bell
This is def going to do a AAL ( Anglo American) I bet bottom is 500p -15-18% drop today. Mad mad mad
Almost 9% down because of a downgrade lol what a joke. I wasn't holding any before this morning now I am. Let's see how far it drops because of Morgan Stanley. Dollar weakening gold all time high recently ... crazy
Agree great opp to get in by end of the week if gold holds no one will care about the downgrade
I meant when the share price tanked not went under.
Its interesting that the ratings has been updated from Oct when pfc went under and a few new articles have been written so close to the update. Makes me wonder where these big shots were when the share price was tanking.. there is one point which a few of us might have missed. If you read rhe article this morning taking about contracts are leveraged guarantee against the bonds incase of blah blah. Its funny pfc have been hiring like crazy and subcontracting. Provides evidence that their clients aren't panicked and those projects are in full flow. Makes me wonder how much hysteria has been created reminds me of lockdowns and how we were all going to die and turn into zombies same hysteria.
I guess moment of Truth next week from the horses mouth. 6 days left. Next Wed. 20th of Dec.
Very good update. Good cash position and net profits. Hopefully this will go on a good run
Maverick 5 days and 23hrs lol
I think you spoke too soon. It was up 3% and now down 1%.
Yes Onsolidground. Very true. Best of luck mate.
Beware shorters things can get ugly fast. PFC are in M.E UAE where money is in abundance and after the COP28 the Middle East are keen to get the slice of the pie for renewable energy deals. Also, UAE is hunting for companies to aquire. With an order book of 6 billion PFC are sitting in a good spot. So shorters might get caught with their pants down yet again lol
Hedge fund short sellers rocked by Sainsbury’s share price surge amid Apollo takeover talk

Hedge funds betting against Sainsbury’s have been left counting the cost of their negative wagers this week after the FTSE 100-listed supermarket giant saw its share price rocket on the back of fresh takeover rumours.
BlackRock Investment Management, Marshall Wace, and the Pelham Long/Short Master Fund are among the high-profile hedge funds positioned short against the UK supermarket giant, according to regulatory disclosures made to the UK Financial Conduct Authority.
The UK’s second-largest grocery chain initially saw its share price rocket by some 15 per cent on Monday following weekend media reports that US private equity firm Apollo Global Management was preparing a potential GBP7 billion (USD9.6 billion) swoop for the retailer.
Though Sainsbury’s value has since pegged back slightly, it remains up more than 10 per cent this week. Wednesday’s 321p is approaching a near-three year high for the retailer, which only last month was found to be the second most-shorted company among London-listed stocks, according to GraniteShares data.
FCA disclosures show BlackRock has a 2.02 per cent net short position, Pelham is sized at 1.28 per cent net short, while Marshall Wace is 0.65 per cent. In the past, well-known brand name hedge funds including Citadel, AHL, and GLG Partners held bearish bets against the company.
Earlier this summer, short sellers took a hit after the company surged on the back of surprisingly strong Q1 sales numbers, which prompted it to revise its profit outlook upwards.
New York-based Apollo – which is also understood to be eyeing a consortium bid for rival retailer Morrison’s alongside Fortress Investment Group – is one of several PE giants said to be weighing up a bid for Sainsbury’s.
Along with Tesco and Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons comprise the UK’s ‘Big Four’ supermarkets that dominate the grocery sector. Sainsbury’s is seen as a particularly attractive target due to its extensive property portfolio in the southeast of England.
