Indeed and a further uplift in YouGov's share price to circa £2.54 today. I expect more increase in share price on Monday-Tuesday next week. Good stock to buy at these prices, hold and then revisit in 12 months and enjoy the capital gains made over that time. I plan to hold for the next 12-24 months.

It would not surprise me if the German PTA negotiations are concluded and agreed in principle by 31 January with signed off early February with the RNS to follow. This RNS will remove alot of doubt in this area of Mobico's operations, and the Mobico share price will jump upwards by 5-10p initially. Further positive updates (under the guise/title of 'Business Update') in the same RNS will mean the initial share price jump stabilises and slowly increases over time as Mobico's management turn Mobico around over the next 12-24 months. IMO

@Hoss '3. JD is on the up. 4. DWAM is quiet.'

3. Far more to come based on this week's favourable JD Sports Trading Update. JD Sports is a global company with decent sales across key markets in North America, UK and Europe and Asia. Management also focused on cost reduction, synergies, and consolidation. In the very short term Monday-Tuesday will see a further rise in share price. The direction is now upwards, slowly and surely. The next 12-24 months will prove this to be the case.

4. Dwam is quiet because he called JD Sports Trading Update wrong and is now broke.

@j45dev Indeed. No doubt a few US investors in particluar are in the process of looking at JD Sports right now after the update. Expect more share price increase - especially Monday-Tuesday next week.

Nice rise since my last post and add at circa £2.34 on 20 January (the low was £2.29 on that day) to circa £2.49 now. YouGov is clearly undervalued. Those in the know, know it. Plenty of upside potential from here. Expect positive update/news February-March 2026. GLA

Low for JD Sports was on 20 January of course i.e. circa 77p! Hope many here topped up on that low. Easy money...the days fly when having fun!

Nice rise today for JD Sports after yesterday's low of circa 77p. Easy paper profit to date. Of course, more to come as US markets open and JD Sports update digested by more investors. JD Sports is still clearly undervalued. The next 12-24 months will show JD Sports total sales on the increase and debt reduction plans coming to fruition. Good management in place. Smart money is on JD Sports. The early bird catches the worm, so 90p next initial target between now and March 2026. IMO

Zephyr is nearer to proper production. The worm has turned. Serious investors will hold. The rewards will come either via production and/or via sale. Hold the line. IMO

@dwam at 14.54 16 January you posted: 'For those of you 'loading up' on this loser stock, get ready for some serious pain next week!'

I replied the same day: 'Your post will come back to haunt you next week'.

BOO!!!

Lol

PS. I hoped you topped up yesterday when JD Sports' share price was circa 77p. Easy profit...like taking candy from a baby!

As predicted a good solid result in terms of Trading Update from JD Sports. The key as always in retail is organic growth, and the results were strong. JD Sports should continue to rise. Management is strong, and they have a large chunk of teh North American market. Future sales and cost management signs are very positive. Expect another decent share buyback from JD Sports. World Cup on the near horizon. Plenty to play for here over the next 12-24 months.

As for BoA's analysts - they called it wrong...no surprise there.

I especially like the JD Sports statement below.

"Looking ahead, we remain confident that our agile, multi-brand, cross-category approach will enable us to outperform the market, and deliver strong cash flows and enhanced shareholder returns. For FY26, we expect full year profit before tax and adjusting items to be in line with current market expectations, and free cash flow of c.£400m, underpinned by disciplined execution and a strong balance sheet."

@FF Icecool and I have called a truce and are best buddies now! Lol

@Icecool Nice to see you pop back every so often. Not quite like the good old days when we had a difference of opnion!

Not sure if it has already been mentioned, but the shorts are almost all out now. Wood's sale to Sidara will be completed as sure as night follows day.

JD Sports has a good foothold in the US market and this will have a positive impact on sales. JD Sports' AI initiative first rolls out in the US with the rest to follow. Good times ahead. I hope plenty here did the same between 11am and 12 noon today. If not, the share price may well drop late this afternoon. I may add more then. Every cloud has its silver lining and all that. RNS tomorrow should be interesting. GLA

@Luca Right back at you Luca 'Pot...Kettle..Black Luca!' You sold out your Wood shares just before suspension - when the Wood's share price was circa 18p - Big mistake, HUGE! Meanwhile JO topped up heavily prior to suspension and currently sits on a very nice paper profit. Of course there is more rise to come when Wood is sold to Sidara at 30p. GLA

@Flatliners I said wait until February 2026 onwards. The current drop in is not unique to YouGov...Trumps threatened tarriffs over Greenland has destabalised the markets everywhere for obvious reasons. My view that YouGov is undervalued has not changed. I will patiently wait for the new low probably over the couple of weeks. Then I will invest heavily into YouGov. JO loves a bargain.

Graff posts about moon-landing conspiracy theories to take the heat off his 100% conviction/prediction that Wood has several buyers scrambling and ready to offer 60-99p. Graff has been silent on this for a long while now for obvious reasons. There is no other rival bidders. Graff made it all up!

RNS will reveal all. Never a good idea to continue with a loss making area in business. Cut ties, sell out, move on. Job done. Simple.

@Graff I hate to be the one to break it to you but man never walked on the moon. Obviously. It was all a sham. All old hat, my boy.

Anyway, more importantly, any updates from your rival bidders on Wood i.e. circa 60-99p. You have promised Wood investors to stay invested and wait for the rival bids. None of which has happened. Can you ask one of them to throw 35p into the hat? Please ask the questions from your secret sauce Mr Ketchump...er I mean Mr Ketchup!

JD Sports is like a sleeping bear. Come next week, JD Sports will come out of hibernation. Don't say you weren't warned! DYOR

@flatliners JD Sports update next week will create a re-rate and steady climb towards 90p. Pssst don't mention the World Cup sales! Lol
