‘Deeply undervalued shareprice’. Fair value £5.38. The shareprice as of Close Friday is £2.47 apparently. Yes, the business is

performing well and returns to share holders are forecasted.

Well the Algos got hold of it over the last couple of days, my view it’s going down and will be cheaper in the New Year.

That’s what makes a market, it’s a view, and of course good luck with whatever investors decide to do.

JB 83, you should be minded of the up and coming budget. The U.K. is going down the toilet, if your half savvy and want to put money to work on the London Market, I would personally wait until early next year and review then, see the consequences of Rachel’s meddling. Of course have the odd trade here and there but be very very selective. If your going to buy here at these levels, which I wouldn’t do, then buy in tranches.

Global trackers have had such a ride up, what’s going to support them moving forward. Is the US overvalued ? Are we due a crash ? and the most important piece of advice as mentioned is be patient, that becomes easier as you get older as we have seen it all before.

Be very careful with investing, if you have the Chancellor wanting the masses to invest, and then weeks later she starts imposing stealth taxes on banks or oil companies, or whatever else suits her fancy, it’s going to get ugly out there.

Of course good luck with your decisions, and we wish you well.

Some top economists, believe there is no debt crisis, and governments should just print more money ! Apparently this ‘think tank’ solution, quoted in The Guardian, has come from the “Del boy book of trading”, Rachel received it last Christmas from Sir Keir, a source has been quoted as saying !

Sir Keir received a P45 in exchange, the pair were said to be over the moon with their gifts, and genuinely delighted.

Good Luck !

I would say the ftse has just been dragged along to all time highs, on nothing more than some diversification from the US and complacency, which reinforces the point of being very very selective.

Good Luck.

Totally agree. The game to play at the minute and has been for a while is not to have the old school ‘balanced portfolio’, its to have a few select shares, this being one of them. Exposure to a growing economy Asia and the capital returns that this share offers.

I do laugh when I read the chat forums, posters don’t seem to understand the financial mess Labour are causing, there is no confidence to invest in the ftse, it’s a sad sorry state of affairs. I’ve been up the city the last few days, restaurants, hotels are all struggling, like the house builders the social side of the City is a good barometer of the U.K., it’s finished.

I see some protection in this share and a select few others, very select.

Good Luck.

“It’s looking like a reasonable market for insurers”. Even though it’s been mentioned previously the AI revolution is losing steam, investors are concerned with Capex.

Defensive plays and US money has been making the U.K. more attractive.

Why sell now, good luck.

1000 achieved, according to CNBC the wider market has concerns regarding AI valuations, leading to defensive stocks having an uplift.

Why sell now, good luck to all investors.

‘After considering the companies strong balance sheet’. Quoted today, if investors have spent all day and posted and don't understand that a beaten up share can pop by 8/10% on a positive statement as above,

Then you need to stop over analysing and take a good hard look at your investing strategy, because your clearly getting it wrong !

Good Luck.

Yes, but Chid wrote a great post about the state of modern Britain on this very same board. To be applauded.

Look at the tobacco sector BATS and IMB if you want to see the positives of a buyback

Good luck

My take Coronation were just averaging down. The RNS states that the business cash position is solid. The market shoots first and asks questions later hence the initial drop some months ago.

My view also the algo’s were selling the share down , just an accumulation tactic by large or new investors.

Good Luck.

Yes, I am indeed. I’m off to the pet shop to buy a parrot, hopefully a green one.

Be lucky.

Having worked down ta pit for 85 years, 32 hrs a day, 9 days a week, I’m not entitled to triple lock apparently. The boss has thankfully offered me more hours work to compensate for me losses.

Wife not to happy as she never sees me, as it is,hey ho !

Operating margin of 9% ish compared to historically 22% is a very good indicator that the business is not as strong as it once was.

Investors need to be extremely careful here. Of course good luck if your brave enough.

The share has been on a charge, I’m looking forward to the half year report, it’s been a great investment.

Good luck to all holders.

The share has probably spiked up during the investor call. The 6.6% increase in sales is Termite related, the challenges still present, the business is cumbersome, free cash flow has increased, but I can’t see see the share holding onto any gains.

But as mentioned that’s what makes a market.

Good luck to all, and it’s started to rain .

Good Numbers from Microsoft yesterday, it appears the share here has stabilised after the recent wobble, what’s not to like providing the sales team gets to grip with the task.

Good Luck.

I think there will be other opportunities to enter lower, tough times at the minute, and of course a profit is a profit.

Good luck to all, and keep trying to find the winners.

Used the spike up to exit at £3.80 ish. Thankfully.

Profit down , eps down. They are obsessed with acquisitions, termite claims up. Typical large scale business that has lost its way.
