lily savage, whether or not your lefty echo chamber says migration is important or not is irrelevant. it will decide the next ge, as it has decided many of the council elections. £15.3 billion will now be spent on hotels for "asylum seekers", who each cost £41,000 per annum before the average 5 year application is completed. the vastly male, under 30 yr old economic migrants are abusing the 1951 definition of a refugee to claim persecution in their home country, and we are hamstrung by the ridiculous echr requirements to treat them as refugees. they are clearly not.

given your lefty gen z persuasions, here is something that may appeal, the £6 billion annual cost for asylum seekers, would pay the entire annual bill for undergraduate tuition fees. this would allow uk citizens to leave uni with no student debt (which financially debilitates them when they first get a job - 9% extra tax and all that).

people are obsessed with migration as they "see" the truth on their streets and in their local hotels (£8 million a day is spent on hotels for "refugees")

i guarantee 100% that we'd see no migration here if our system wasn't so overly generous, and we'd get to spend the money on the citizens who fund the welfare state. it isn't ****** to suggest any of this, it is common sense. any welfare system could not withstand such stupidity. the sooner the 1951 definition of a refugee is modernised, and the echr binned off, the better.

Please give me attention. I'm so meaningless in real life I try and rage bait anonymous people online.

Vote reform Terry. Seems to be the only option left now.

Seems that Capita can transfer Indian workers to the UK for three years, pay no employer NICs for them, and then send them back to Capita India. Should be a big offset in the NIC bill, especially after the rise in Oct 24.

Political suicide for two tier Kier, but good for Capita profits.

Relax chaps, it went up today, the sun is shining, there's more appropriate days to get angry with each other.

A UK-India free trade agreement (FTA) could be a significant boon for Capita plc's share price, given the company's substantial operations in both countries. Here's how such a deal might positively impact Capita:

🌍 Enhanced Market Access and Revenue Growth

Capita operates extensively in the UK and India, providing consulting, digital transformation, and business process services. An FTA could reduce trade barriers, making it easier for Capita to offer its services across both markets. This expanded access could lead to increased revenues and, consequently, a positive impact on its share price.

💼 Increased Demand for Outsourcing Services

With an FTA in place, UK companies might find it more cost-effective to outsource services to India. Capita, with its established presence in India, would be well-positioned to capitalize on this trend, potentially leading to higher demand for its services.

📈 Investor Confidence and Share Price Appreciation

The successful negotiation of an FTA often boosts investor confidence in companies poised to benefit from the agreement. Capita's strategic positioning could make it an attractive investment, leading to increased demand for its shares and a potential rise in share price.

🔄 Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings

An FTA could streamline regulatory processes and reduce costs associated with cross-border operations. For Capita, this might translate into improved operational efficiency and cost savings, enhancing profitability and shareholder value.

In summary, a UK-India FTA could open new avenues for Capita, enhancing its market reach, operational efficiency, and profitability—all factors that could positively influence its share price.

Given Capita has a large work force in india, is the SP rise related to this?

Tren - just how every day seems to have a clear ceiling, and with volume being low every day, but them (RBC) RNSing that they’ve lowered their holding every so often seems to be linked.

I’ve no idea that is the reason, just trying to comfort myself more than anything 😂

They have to RNS market sensitive information Adam. It may be the contract is too small to RNS.

With RBC selling it feels like nothing can get this share to move upwards in any case.

I'm guessing RBC selling at around 188 today. We hit a hard ceiling everyday, even when the rest of the market is very positive. They really are killing the SP short term.

He has no idea Terry. He is a troll. In real life unloved, ignored everywhere he goes. The man nobody talks to in the pub. What was his name again?

Any form of reaction on here validates his basic need to acknowledged, even if its a negative reaction. That's why he is here, nothing more than that.

Even this recognition is oxygen that the parasite needs to exist.

Yes, several London-listed companies have benefited from share consolidations (also called reverse stock splits), but the outcome depends heavily on the company's fundamentals and market conditions. Share consolidations are often seen as cosmetic changes, but they can improve investor perception and bring tangible benefits in specific cases.

Notable Examples Where Share Consolidation Helped:

1. Barclays (2006)

Consolidation: 4-for-1 share consolidation.

Purpose: To reduce share count after rights issues and keep the share price within a typical trading range.

Outcome: Helped tidy up the capital structure and maintain institutional investor appeal. Barclays went on to perform relatively well afterward, though macroeconomic conditions played a large role.

2. Vodafone (2014)

Consolidation: 6-for-11 share consolidation.

Context: Following the sale of its stake in Verizon Wireless.

Outcome: The consolidation was part of a broader capital return plan. While the move didn't directly boost the share price, it was well-received by markets and part of a strategic repositioning that improved investor sentiment.

3. Royal Bank of Scotland (Now NatWest Group) (2012)

Consolidation: 1-for-10 share consolidation.

Goal: To boost the price per share after dilution from bailouts and rights issues.

Outcome: While the bank's long-term recovery was complex, the consolidation helped it maintain its listing and reduce speculative trading due to its low share price.

Potential Benefits of Share Consolidation:

Improved Perception: Higher share price may attract institutional investors or funds with minimum price thresholds.

Reduced Volatility: Higher-priced shares can reduce short-term speculative trading.

Regulatory Compliance: Helps maintain a minimum share price required for exchange listing rules.

Caveat:

If the underlying business is weak, a share consolidation won’t fix fundamental problems and can even be viewed negatively (e.g., a signal of distress). Some AIM-listed companies have done consolidations with no long-term benefit.

NC - it is all from ChatGPT, which for investment research is absolutely phenomenal.

Certainly! Let's examine several notable examples of companies that have undergone reverse stock splits and analyze how their share prices performed afterward. These cases illustrate that the outcomes of reverse splits can vary significantly, depending on the company's underlying fundamentals and strategic actions.

📈 Successful Reverse Stock Splits

1. General Electric (GE) – 2021

Split Ratio: 1-for-8

Purpose: Simplify capital structure and elevate share price

Outcome: Post-split, GE's share price increased from approximately $13 to over $100. As of April 29, 2025, GE trades at $202.10, reflecting a positive trajectory following the split.

2. Citigroup (C) – 2011

Split Ratio: 1-for-10

Purpose: Boost share price and attract institutional investors

Outcome: The split raised the stock price from around $4.50 to $45. Over time, Citigroup stabilized and became profitable again. As of April 29, 2025, Citigroup's stock trades at $68.66.

3. American International Group (AIG) – 2011

Split Ratio: 1-for-20

Purpose: Maintain NYSE listing and restore investor confidence post-2008 financial crisis

Outcome: The reverse split helped AIG stabilize and repay its government bailout. As of April 29, 2025, AIG's stock is priced at $81.99.

4. Booking Holdings (formerly Priceline) – 2003

Split Ratio: 1-for-6

Purpose: Clean up share structure post-dot-com bubble

Outcome: The higher share price post-split provided stability, aiding in the company's expansion. Booking Holdings has since become a leading online travel agency.

📉 Unsuccessful Reverse Stock Splits

1. WeWork – 2023

Split Ratio: 1-for-40

Purpose: Retain NYSE listing after shares fell below $1

Outcome: Despite the split, WeWork filed for bankruptcy protection a few months later, indicating deeper operational and financial issues.

2. 23andMe – 2024

Split Ratio: 1-for-20

Purpose: Address declining stock price and operational challenges

Outcome: The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025, with the stock losing about 50% of its value on the news.

3. DryShips – 2016–2017

Split Activity: Executed eight reverse splits within 16 months

Purpose: Attempt to stabilize share price amid financial struggles

Outcome: Investors lost 99.99% of their investments during this period, highlighting the risks of repeated reverse splits without addressing underlying issues.

🔍 Key Takeaways

Not a Cure-All: A reverse stock split is a cosmetic change and does not address underlying business challenges.

Investor Perception: While a higher share price can attract institutional investors, it may also signal distress if not accompanied by operational improvements.

Strategic Context Matters: Successful outcomes often involve comprehensive restructuring and a clear path to profitability, not just a share consolidation.

If you're considering investing in a company that has recently undergone a reverse stock split, it's cruc

Share consolidations (also known as reverse stock splits) can have mixed implications for a company's future share price performance. Here's a breakdown of what they typically mean and whether they're "good":

✅ Potential Positives

Improved Perception: Consolidating shares raises the share price (e.g., 10 shares at $1 become 1 share at $10), which can make the stock seem more "respectable" or appealing, especially to institutional investors.

Exchange Requirements: It can help a company meet minimum price requirements to remain listed on exchanges like the NYSE or NASDAQ.

Attractiveness to New Investors: Some investors avoid penny stocks due to perceived risk, so a higher price post-consolidation might broaden the investor base.

⚠️ Common Risks and Concerns

Signal of Distress: Often, reverse splits are used by struggling companies. Investors may view the move as a red flag, suggesting the company is trying to cover up poor fundamentals.

Poor Long-Term Performance: Historically, many companies that perform reverse splits continue to underperform afterward. A higher share price does not fix the underlying financial issues.

Lower Liquidity: Fewer shares can mean lower trading volume, making the stock less liquid and potentially more volatile.

🧠 Key Takeaway

A reverse split by itself does not improve the company’s value—it’s a cosmetic change. The future share price performance depends on whether the company improves its financial health, operations, and growth prospects after the consolidation.

Pablo thought it would make the company more attractive to Institutional Investors...

I must admit, I find this a bit simplistic. Like an II wouldn't know about Capita?!? Short term it hasn't been catastrophic, but it has seen us lose gains on a positive market day.

Capita plc held its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) today, Monday 28 April 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at The Storey Club in London. The AGM focused on significant financial restructuring proposals aimed at optimizing the company's balance sheet and enhancing shareholder value.​

Key Resolutions and Outcomes

1. Share Consolidation

Shareholders approved a 15-for-1 share consolidation, converting every 15 existing ordinary shares of 2 1/15 pence into one new ordinary share of 31 pence. This move is intended to simplify Capita’s capital structure, reduce share price volatility, and improve marketability. The last day to trade existing shares is today, 28 April 2025, with the new consolidated shares expected to commence trading on the London Stock Exchange tomorrow, 29 April 2025. ​

2. Share Premium Account Reduction

The AGM also approved a proposal to cancel the entire amount standing to the credit of Capita’s share premium account. This reduction, subject to court approval, is designed to increase the company's distributable reserves, providing greater flexibility for future dividends, share buybacks, and other capital returns. Court hearings are anticipated in mid-May and June 2025, with the reduction becoming effective shortly thereafter. ​

Additional Business

In addition to the restructuring measures, the AGM addressed standard annual resolutions, including the approval of the 2024 Annual Report and Accounts, re-election of directors, and endorsement of the directors' remuneration policy. Shareholders were encouraged to participate and submit proxy votes ahead of the meeting. ​
