Spoken to IR and they confirm the trading statement will be released at some point today, no timings given.
IMO the reason for this is that they are still negotiating with the interested parties and all the news will be issued at once. I think RPC is an outstanding play for PE (a bargain) and that the BOD feel that they will realise their ambitions sooner if the company goes private, I genuinely think there will be an offer today AND a decent trading statement.
Sticking by previous predictions of £11.50ps - Pretty Bullish eh?
All my personal opinion. Very important to make your own mind up and DYOR.
