You were talking of a special dividend being paid to share holders and not capital restructure. Two different things.

By the way PE and public markets work in different ways. if you don't know that I worry for you.

You know as well as I do that any capital released to the share holders by a company is reflected in a new valuation of the remaining equity in the SP.

A special dividend will only tank the SP . That said, wiping debt first with any sales would increase EPS but it will always be nothing more than playing with figures. It is the underlying business that has to adjust to reducing NHS spend cycles. I think they just want rid.

KJN . I like your optimism and you are right FCF is important, but they cannot trim the fat much more to make the numbers better. NHS commissioning remains uncertain given the % that provides to the bottom line that is a real worry and we know this governments playing games with referral and treatment figures. It may be attractive to PE simply to asset strip as otherwise they will be selling off freeholds to pay down debt and streamline the operation into decline. Still holding but we have to see where this really is and it is not in a good place business wise.

38% reduction in operating profit and revised guidance for 2026 to flat only is not GOOD results!!

Well you may be right Discus1, we will see on Thursday with results how much return on all that capital is really worth. One thing for sure, this government has to cut spending in a lot of places to fill the embarrassing gap in defence spending and, thus, huge health related budgets are the first in line as they wont touch welfare with that being their voter base. We already know the results will not be good.

Have the rampers left ? LOL

With results 5th march preceding the new deadline.. going to be interesting

Spire Healthcare Says Bridgepoint & Triton Must Announce Offer Intention By 21 March 2026 = source reuters

This is up 17% in three days.. I hold but still; why??

God you are such a ramper... heaving buying ? LOL it is way under average . Give it a rest Laura you are beyond ridiculous

Deduct the debt for a start

Very large sell order finally cleared by the looks of it 8m shares at 45p .. it's spring boarded up since but caution rules I reckon

Yep ASDA is a prime example of that in the PE space but in that case it their owners doing it in plain sight and siphoning off into their real interests

Patience is the key here. The one attribute nearly all AIM punters do not have. Bid, or no bid, the company remains under valued so it is simply a case of waiting for that to change. Maybe weeks or months but it will happen.

In my view it is the likelihood of some poor results at the end of Feb which is the elephant in the room. PE will no doubt have that in mind to as they scan the business.

If that were a realistic price then large investors would be piling in. take out the debt and we are looking at 270-280 as a fairly valued price. The added bonus is the potential for a bidding process, whereas the downside is a board who are at best reluctant to perhaps end their grift here.

The simple answer is likely to be the read through from the cyber attack in the published figures that have yet to come through. Also with the CTO departure hedge funds seem confident that there is more to come out. I noticed some ads recently for a class action suit for personal data breach as a result also.

Traders come and go. I've seen rampers back and forth shouting down others as they convince themselves their world view is the only one. For me this remains a sound investment at these levels. The company didn't say anything remember it was the press.
