Chris_Magpie - Thanks for the headsup re social housing development. Might have confused an article I read with Vistry..

ITV transformation is working.

A ‘deep restructuring’ at ITV (ITV) means that the broadcaster’s earnings are moving in a different direction.

‘ITV results led to significant consensus upgrades as solid results from ITVX and studios were compounded by the announcement of a transformational cost savings programme and the accretive effect of a £235m buyback using proceeds from the sale of its 50% stake in Britbox International to the BBC,’ Costar said.

The results highlighted a ‘marked change in direction for the earnings profile of the company’, said Costar, who added that it also ‘evidences the deep restructuring management has undertaken’.

Consensus is now pointing to ‘higher quality and double-digit earnings growth out to 2025’ but the shares are still trading on a price to earnings of ‘just 10 times’.

The shares fell 1.7% to 69.3p on Tuesday, putting them down 15% over the last 12 months.

I've been holding off, but I think it's probably a reasonable time to consider a top-up.

Last I heard she's still with thick Harry.

Yeah, I thought that expression would trigger a few of our comrades ;)))

Alanos - We were all new here once upon a time, bright eyed and bushy tailed, full of enthusiasm. The experience hasn't been good, with many obstacles seemingly recurring, management competence has to be questioned. It's a shame, when as you say, the raw numbers should be more fruitful for investors.

Selecta6 - 'Shambles' is a good descriptor. Their performance is so far from their mission statement it's a joke. I think even with my appalling luck and questionable judgement I could have picked a more profitable selection for the fund. Frankly, a lit more contrition from the Chair and BOD wouldn't go amiss. Their statement really doesn't instil much confidence.

Charttopper - Ditto from me!

I decided to add some into my ISA today. I can't help thinking that a new Labour government will want to start with a splash and embark on various civil and social engineering projects which would be a great fit for Costain. Housing ought to be a priority, surely? Our general infrastructure is creaking under years of lack of investment. Taxpayers like to see some of their contributions being spent for the benefit of the greater society. Anyway, fingers crossed that Rachel Reeves will put some business our way..

DISSPEASRED - What is this phenomenon? Is it good or bad?

A couple weeks back, I emailed investor relations regarding the reliability of fuel supplies in Kazakhstan, with a veiled concern with respect to their northern neighbour. I also asked if they had a hedging policy for forward fuel.

No reply received at all...

Meanwhile, Russia has requested Kazakhstan make provision to provide refined products as their own refineries are being degraded.

Yeah, 500 would be sweet, but my attention span is limited so I hit the button at 514.xx and went to make some tea..

i also follow the 'this **** can't just ramble along' philosophy, making it a coin-toss scenario. however, are there sufficient bullish factors to sway the odds, in the next year or so? i'm neither buying nor selling today..

To add, don't get me wrong, I'm up for all views. I think many of those day traders will look at their cash and decide to blow it on food, booze, fuel, personal interests...' and I'm ready for that. I'm all about diversity ;)))). OTOH, we can make a guess as to where the really smart money goes.. :)

Well I added at 38.6 - clearly misjudged the profit-takers. The new reality. Markets do better with 'old money'.

You need Specsavers, not RR.... ;-)

MILAN, April 9 (Reuters) - Shares in German defence company Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE) fell more than 12% at one point on Tuesday after earlier hitting its latest record high as traders got nervous about the sustainability of its record-breaking run.

By 0910 GMT, Rheinmetall was down 8.7%, bringing year-to-date gains to 78%.

One Frankfurt trader said there was no immediate reason to point to and said profit taking was likely behind the plunge. Defence stocks have been among the best performers in Europe so far this year as investors bet on rising military spending.

Stops triggered.... who's going to top-up at 405?

I got impatient and added at 61 this morning...Better than yesterday, and gold higher again today.

Would be nice if we could raise a little 'hue and cry' during the approval process. It would be in the interest of all AIM participants, not just us.
