Barclays obviously shorting this, 2nd price cut in a week, down to 360 now.

This reminds me of when shares surged during covid when everything was closed!!

F me nearly choked on my chianti!!!

I have no expertise but like you say, the pe on Futr is just bonkers, apart from the stock being heavily shorted right now, and I think pending demotion from the 250, I cannot see how a company generating that sort of cash is so cheap.

It continues to baffled me on daily basis.

As for Trn, I understand that they working on the possibility of kind of white labelling their app to be be used in conjunction with/for GBR, which will eat into their margins, but too early to say.

Again a stock that has upgraded guidance twice in six months, enhanced their buyback, but yet the stock is 50% down the last year. TU next week but I fear it could spike temporarily then continue the downward spiral. FWIW.

Know what you mean about tinkering, it always costs me dear.

I've been selling smaller holdings which ive been slightly in profit, just build up some reserves.

My 2 largest holdings that im significantly down on our Futr and Trn but definitely not adding to either.

Did expect more of a hammering here today, early days I guess!!!

Not locking in profits has cost me dearly this week, first ONT, then Reach, and now today.

Holding is proving to be the wrong strategy.

Looks like our hammering comes today.

This weeks going from bad to awful.

This stock market is becoming uninvestable when the corrupt people in the city can line their pockets by marking down shares in this way.

People always say to me, just hold and dont trade, but what is the actual point when this happens?

Personally I was 2-3 k up on this about a week ago, I thought shall I sell half but decided no, just hold, and now im BE.

It's feeling more and more like an unregulated casino, where individuals in the city can play mind games with people and move the dial at will.

Im not talking about general market turmoil during times like this, that's expected, but what they've tried to justify by todays bashing is just bordering on criminal imo.

Not sure Steve, not a lot in there to cause it to rise, market already knows about the profit beat, the new stuff is all " challenging, headwinds, caution"

Of course its gonna sell off you just knew it

Across the first two months of 2026 we continued to trade against the backdrop of lower referral volumes and a challenging macroenvironment, and are taking a cautious approach to digital performance for the year. We are on track to deliver market expectations for the full year, which is underpinned by a 5-6% reduction in adjusted operating costs.(4)

No doubt market will focus on this and the digital headwinds

Share repurchase programme:

· Launched enhanced share repurchase programme on 22nd September 2025 of up to £150 million, following the completion of previous £75 million programme.

· As at the end of October 2025, repurchased £15 million shares under the new £150 million programme and £215 million shares in total since launching first buyback programme in September 2023 (15% of issued share capital15)

Can someone explain to me how this ongoing buyback is actually benefiting shareholders?

Earnings have risen during the above period, but the shares just continue falling.

What is the point in this, its supposed to be returning money to shareholders, but its not.

Seems like everyone and the market has written it off.

Another awful day and awful investment

To think this was over 50% higher 1 month ago.

This market is becoming uninvestable

What a disaster this is today.

Now looks like I'll be sat watching another sell off

Sorry SG, you've got to laugh

At least 150 tankers outside key shipping route controlled by Iran - report

According to shipping data, there are at least 150 tankers waiting outside the Strait of Hormuz - one of the most important oil routes in the world.

It's controlled by Iran, which has been threatening to close the waterway.

Dozens more ships are stationary on the other side of the chokepoint.

The tankers are clustered in open waters off the coasts of major Gulf oil producers, including Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, according to Reuters estimates based on data from the MarineTraffic platform.

Well if there's a market sell off Monday which is probably on the cards given the madman has started a war, the ftse 250 decision Tuesday may not even be a close call, shorts will probably smell blood if that happens Monday.

Given the madman has attacked Iran, im expecting a pullback Monday.

SG

With such little volume its easy for them to algo this down at will.

But on the bright side it looks like no Ftse 250 demotion.

Taken from RMV news feed last week.

Leaving the FTSE 250 are NCC Group PLC and Pinewood Technologies Group PLC.
