RNS says:

The final dividend is payable on 25 July 2025 to shareholders registered on 27 June 2025, with an ex-dividend date of 26 June 2025

the 27th is tomorrow, so anyone sells today isn't eligible

Why are people selling today?

10p+ down on their holding from yesterday and won't get the divvi.

Picked out this paragraph.

Under U.K. takeover rules, a London-listed company that issues a formal stock exchange denial of takeover talks can be prevented from approaching the target for at least six months. Shell didn’t release a formal statement, but its comment could still potentially subject it to that restriction.

so their informal 'no discussions are taking place' could prevent them from making a move

Ex div tomorrow, wonder if we'll see a decent rise today

Its exactly what he did with the tariffs, allowed his associates and family to pikcup cheap shares, dump them on the forced ceasefire, then pickup cheap shares when it ping ponged.

I doubt there would have been an RI anyway as the cosmens would have known about it, and thus not increased their % when they did. why do so if they.knew they could get in lower later on?

they would also have to approve it, which likely wont happen

Thats clearly a source not to read

posted 26 mins ago, and refers to ocdo 'closing' at 238.6 - ummm

Someone can be sniffing, but they of course aren't going to let it go for pennies. cosmens despite their recent buys, bought a load at 60s, but also the massive holding they had before all this kicked off.

got to be at least 1.50 minimum for them to accept anything

Nothing reflecting it yet tho, i dont think anything will change until isreal retailates to make it certain.

might be talked down off the ledge and jsut let it go

Dayum, what a drop, and on that news as well.

well break even still at $23 per barrel, new deal done. still making a lot of money even with a $10 drop in poo

Yup, dipping the toe back in as well 363.8

Just the traders who were thinking oil would rerach 120 getting out, will stablise and rise by 9-10

Ouch, that open :(

Ex div is 26th, so CoP on 25th

Clearly someone is confident

08:04:15 393.361 325,822 Buy* 391.50 391.70 1m

£464k just sold, so big background seller still going, looks like they get mopped up with buys tho, hopefully we'll start pushing upwards

Yeah, i have worked with them as suppliers for several years before we dropped them due to issues with consistency and quality of their cyber sec operations compared to other vendors. stopped using them in about 2021.

they used have a repuation as a handle turning company to get quantity out the door. they also used to have a very high turnover of staff due to attrition. hard to build decent company structure and skills around a revolving door model. might have changed since we stopped using them of course.

that said. they are a big name and used by a lot of major companies worldwide, and i am invested here.

Because there are hundreds of cyber security companies and more being started daily.

ncc are one of the largest, but they also have a reputation of being a bit slap dash.

I believe thats what it meant for the other deals, however who knows with this one.

if not, its odd to put that line in

Its all a game, those who say they bought at the bottom, are generally either lying, or got lucky, happens occassionally, but most of the time not.

i bought in yesterday, thought that was the back of the 80s with all the heavy buying, and yet here we are.

not so good if youre a trader, but holding long term for the div, a few pennies either way is no issue
