While I'm optimistic that the share price will recover soon, it seems to me that Liontrust is still offloading portions of its position. The size of the blocks being sold suggests they can only be coming from an institutional investor.

Is there any specific reason for today’s drop? The stock looks oversold on the technical chart stilling at ATL, especially considering the company’s share repurchase program

To be fair TheTrotsky, we don't know for sure whether they were buys or sells — but what we do know is that the share price movement is being tightly controlled since the recent drop

Large blocks of shares are still appearing from yesterday.....

17:34:59 67.00 1,500,000 £1m

17:34:52 67.00 1,500,000 £1m

17:10:25 67.00 1,500,000 £1m

Got it, that explains the SP drop perfectly — thanks !

Out of interest, the dividend is 123.7p per share which is around 3% of yesterday's share price. Why it dropped 10% today?

Auson, you'd expect the shorters to cover after suspension buying some of the the gigantic number of new shares which will be issued at 1.236p

Yes, there were three large buys — one of them for £190.50k, executed at a premium to the ask. Then suddenly the price dropped, almost as if someone’s trying to suppress the share price reaction so they can keep accumulating at lower levels.......

Trading volume remains low but most importantly, there have been no large sell orders since the open — a very positive sign.

Same here , the sp hit a support level earlier today at 61–62, from back in 2005, filled its gap and bounced off it. I'm expecting some recovery from this oversold level.

It’s also worth mentioning that the CEO acted immediately on the day, snapping up most of the 0.5% that Liontrust had offloaded into the market.

It’s also encouraging to see that they didn’t continue selling, as there was no change in position in Friday.

Stas20, I had ChatGPT take a look at the share price movement over the past 48 hours—here’s the analysis I got:

"After the company’s share price dropped sharply by 44%, many investors expected continued panic selling or further decline. But interestingly, the next day, a similarly large trading volume occurred, yet the share price remained relatively stable, fluctuating only within ±2% during the trading day. This indicates that:

-The market absorbed a high volume of trades (including some very large sell orders) without causing further price collapse.

-Despite the pressure, the share price held its ground and even closed 2.8% higher than the previous day’s close.

*What it could mean:

-Buyers stepped in: The stability and slight rebound suggest there were buyers ready to scoop up shares at the lower price.

-Panic may be over: The lack of further sharp drops might signal that the worst of the panic selling is behind.

-Support level forming: It could be the beginning of a technical support level at the new price range, where buyers see value.

They’ve lowered their price target by 30%, while the share price has fallen over 40%. The new target still represents a 193% upside from today’s price, which is promising—especially with the ~18% dividend still intact.

On top of that, the CEO bought 1 million shares yesterday, a strong vote of confidence. In my opinion, this looks like a solid opportunity to profit from a recovery move toward the 8-day moving average, which is currently in the 90s range on the technical chart.

The CEO will be earning over £100K per year in dividends from yesterday's purchase!

this is the ceo’s first time purchasing shares, and it marks the largest share buy by company directors in its history — a strong signal that the recent share price drop is seen as excessive by the leadership, reflecting their confidence in the company’s future.

Another two chunky buys just gone through

15:35:05 66.50 440,000 £292.60k O

15:35:05 66.50 440,000 £292.60k

Agreed Teddy100, I’m also watching the technical chart—looks like the share price is forming a new support at this level.

It’ll climb back into the 70s soon.

Any reason for the big drop today?
