Despite the US-Iran war, for Mobico its business as usual: A new Euro 40 million investment with 100 vehicles and a 50% increase in kilometers covered. Further evidence of Mobico's growth in terms of revenues etc. all of which is fully supported by its lenders. The Mobico share price will rise to sensible levels in due course and investors of late will do very well indeed. IMO, DYOR & GLA. #theearlybirdcatchestheworm #begreedywhenothersarefearful

Mobico's latest news published at 4.35pm 9 April 2026:

'Alsa, the Spanish arm of Mobico Group, this month launched the new public transport system in Ibiza (Consell Insular d'Eivissa) and is set to transform mobility on the island with a modern, efficient, and sustainable fleet of more than 100 vehicles.

In this first phase, Alsa has already introduced 22 new buses, 10 of which are 100% electric and 12 hybrid, and will adopt a model where 66% of the fleet will be zero-emission.

This project represents a comprehensive improvement of the current service, featuring a 50% increase in kilometers covered, better connectivity between urban centres and peripheral areas, and reinforced service throughout the year.

Alsa is also incorporating new digital solutions including the Alsa Mobi4U app, which allows users to check services, frequencies, and waiting times in real-time, alongside a 24-hour customer service centre.

The rollout of improvements and the introduction of the remaining new buses will be delivered over the coming months, involving nearly 400 colleagues and an investment of approximately 40 million euros. When the new system is fully implemented, it will represent a very significant improvement in mobility on the island of Ibiza, for both residents and tourists.'

@Paddyboy1 'There seems to be a fixation on this board that a capital raise is required & is imminent!'

Only by the resident Mobico shorts i.e. @John33 on this discussion board - all bluff and bluster to spread fear and doubt.

Mobico is a company in clear and present turnaround mode with full support from their lenders. End of story.

@AimMaster2018 On 4 April you posted 'We hit 9p imho'. Today 9 April you posted 'Winton and glg both have reduced their shorts.' and 'Could be a buy signal as oil prices are pulling back imho cash on the ready for tomorrow 🤔 imho watching 👀'

AimLess, it looks like you have gone against @firepower1 advice to short Mobico until it hits 9p. You panicked when your shorted (FOFO), and now you have closed your short in order to stop your losses and make next month's rent payment. Now you are 'looking' at going long and are starting to talk up Mobico imho.

AimMaster you played the same game at Capita - short one minute, long the next - and you have been discredited over there due to your constant flip flops and commentary around that. You are not an investor, you are a gambler imho.

So AimStalker now that you have re-read my posts (I wondered why you were abscent today) and seen the light, you have decided to go long on Mobico. However, unfortunately, you missed the boat, which was last week - when the Mobico share price was in the low-mid 17p range...while I was buying, you were shorting. That did not work out well for you...maybe this time it will work out better for you. Remember, the Number 1 rule of investing is to make money. The Number 2 rule of investing is to never forget rule 1 imho.

Update - more talks with offical delegates to take place. I would say that most stocks (includes mobico) will rise again today as US and Iran seek peace. IMO & GLA

' Iranian delegation heading to Pak i stan tonight for talks:

Iran’s Ambassador to Pak i stan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, says an Iranian delegation will travel to Islamabad tonight for talks based on Iran’s 10-point peace plan.

In a post on X, Moghadam said the delegation was making the trip despite the “scepticism” of Iranians over Israeli government efforts to “sabotage the diplomatic initiative”. '

Mobico's publised results on 26 February, caused Mobico's share price to rise to 30p. Then, the US-Iran war halted progress on almost all stocks everywhere. With the US and Iran now talking peace terms (in between the usual barbs), combined with new leadership and turnaround clearly in play, the Mobico share price will be on its way once again.

' Mobico Group PLC: Unaudited results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2025:

Turnaround underway with momentum building.

Phil White, Mobico Group Executive Chairman, said:

"Mobico delivered further growth in 2025 and meaningful strategic progress, with Alsa achieving another record year of double-digit revenue growth. This offset a challenging trading environment in the UK and operational issues with the WMATA contract in WeDriveU, for which resolution plans are now in progress. Adjusted operating profit increased 9% to £198m, above recent guidance, largely due to strong end-of-year trading in Spain and commencement of the 'Simplify for Success' cost programme.

We continue to progress with our 'Simplify, Strengthen, Succeed' strategy to strengthen the business. Most notably, we announced in January an agreement in principle had been reached with the German Rail PTAs which delivers a sustainable business going forwards. UK Coach is also now largely integrated into Alsa which will reduce overheads and realign the business to a more competitive environment. Together with our other initiatives, we expect to deliver £100m of annualised cost savings for the Group by the end of 2026. As a result of these efforts, we expect further growth and progress in 2026 with Adjusted Operating Profit in the range of £195m - £210m." '

@jjonesLAX1993 'There is nothing that Mobico is doing to improve' and 'Keep fighting the good fight - right up to when they delist.'

Comedy gold! Lol

You obviously behind the times with Mobico...there is no hope for you now.

Based on your stupid posts, I surmise that:

A: You are short on Mobico. You listened to firepower1 and stupidly shorted Mobico just like AimStalker did...and you are now badly burned. Ouch!

B: You bought into Mobico 12 months ago back, and have stood and watched as your investment dropped by '-62.92%'. Rather than 'celebrate' the clear and obvious turnaround in play, you are still down in the dumps. Cheer up old chap!

C: You are a former disgruntled Mobico employee (probably the canteen janitor). You were sacked for poor performance and you are upset. You need to get out of your PJ's and fine another job!

So which one is it JJ...?

My guess is all three: B you invested when you got your Mobico job (congratulations by the way), then C you were sacked (bad luck), so then A you shorted (thanks fo firepower1's deluded projection of 9p) and are now badly burned. Lol

@jackdog Good to see you are invested in Mobico. Turnaround in play. Good leadership now in place with proven track record of increased sales. Focus by senior leadership is on sales, margins, costs and debt management...all of which is music to stakeholder and investor ears. German rail almost fully sorted. A couple of extra tricks up their sleeves. DYOR & GLA

@jjonesLAX1993 Given 3 of your 4 posts (all negative) were in response to Mobico's climb today to .2086p up 10.96%. I stiick to my earlier assumption that you are short on Mobico and you are now seriously worried about your position...and so you should be. Sleep well my short friend. #JOdoesnotlikeshorts

Mobico finished at .2086p up 10.96% as at COB today...

Anyone seen AimMaster2018 aka AimStalker?

I am 'worried' about Aimless and her short position on Mobico. I suspect she closed her short at a huge loss. After a long lie down, no doubt she is sitting in a corner sulking...as usual. Lol

@jjonesLAX1993 I would say that the fact you stand by your commenst (and have now made 3 posts) that you are another desperate shorter that felt the heat today. Such is life. Funny how the shorts appear on this Mobico discssuin board with their pearls of wisdom like: 'poor leadership', 'unrealistic plans' etc. Lol

@joseywales 'Best to sell what you got in the 17/18s and buy back in the next week or two in my opinion'.

Er, thanks for the 'investment advice', but I will take a rain check on that! Lol

I would say you have already sold out on a short rise, and you are now annoyed with yourself. Don't worry, 21p is still cheap for Mobico. It climbed to 30p on the back of the results on 25 February just before the US-Iran war broke out. Now that US-Iran are talking peace terms (more or less), it will benefit many stocks, some stocks (i.e. oversold stocks) more than others.

I will not sell. There is more rise to be had over the next 2-3 weeks for obvious reasons. IMO & DYOR

@jjonesLAX1993 With only 2 posts since MAy 2025, you appear to be behind the times. Mobico has changed leadership and its turnaround is well and truely underway now. You probably need to do further in-depth research on Mobico...or wait for further RNS updates.

@Offgrid I like to refer to myself as JO on occasions - I find it funny...my warped sense of humour and all that, which reminds me...

@firepower1 Lucky for you that you did not put your money where your mouth is, and open your short and only sell at 9p. That would have been a mistake.

@AimStalker Next time you stalk JO and his posts, maybe read and understand them, look for the nuggets of gold. Instead you did the opposite, you listened to firepower1 and you got excited and shorted Mobico. Big mistake. The art of investing is too make money, not lose money imho.

A little birdy told me that firepower1, AimMaster2018 and John33 all had to go and have a lie down. Hopefully it was not all together! Lol

@bertmonkey On days like today the markets will not be concerned about gaps. It probably was a chance for the shorts (fleas) to exit...they may be gamblers, but they are not stupid, they will want out. One door closes, another door opens and all that. Although Mobico is one of the bert performing stocks today in terms of percentage rises at circa 10% i.e. up to .207p now. Most investors know and appreciated that Mobico is still a bargain with plenty of upside. Therefore, more to come over the next 2-3 weeks IMO.

Mobico is up circa 8% so far today at 20.4p. Far more to come over the next 2-3 weeks as the US and Iran work towards peace.

Has anyone seen firepower1 or AimMaster2018 (aka AimStalker or Aimless) or John33 (the 'concerned worrier') for that matter?! They all seem strangely silent at the moment. They probably fell off their chairs this moring, and now have serious headaches imho.

Aimless you should have invested in Mobico when JO invested. Instead you shorted Mobico...big mistake. Now you have egg on your face imho.

firepower1 you owe Aimless an apology. You told Aimless to short Mobico and that is what she did big time. Aimless did not have time to close her short like JO advised her to do. Now Aimless is broke and cannot afford next month's rent! John33 the clear and obvious shorter...or former disgruntled Mobico employee is also badly burned. #JOhasnosympathyforshorts

For everyone else invested in Mobico - the good times will contine for a while yet. It wasn't that long ago Mobico hit a more reasonable 30p, so plenty of upside left yet. IMO, DYOR & IMO

Halford now up to around £1.38 (up over 6% on yesterday) with far more to come. GLA

@Garonne You must be pleased with today's rise so far for JD Sports - up over 9% so far today to circa 75.5p. Like I said, with JO now invested, you can relax - all is well. Lol Lots more to come IMO, DYOR & GLA.

Another nice rise for YouGov early AM thus far up to £1.81 with far more to come yet over the next few weeks. IMO
