This was my exact fear all week, a market reaction like this to an improving picture. I bet AH is scratching his head.
They even stated that they would turn fcf positive from 25, 5 months away, yet this market reacts like this.
It happened yesterday and today with Melrose, a profit beat for this year, and profit guidance unchanged for 25, but revenue decline guidance for 25, so market has knocked off approx 14% since Wednesday.
Where to now, 15s again as if the capital 1 monies are not coming in, or back to a bit of normality.
It's such 5h1t fest that the last 2 days have been totally fuelled by US data, it's almost as if our rate cut and better than expected economic data are irrelevant, especially for UK focused companies.
Again I've held a share like this, with a large holding, been underwater for over a year, finally got BE, but held instead of top slicing, and here we are again.
Same reaction last August, March and again today, becoming so tiresome.
And then you've got complete tw-ts like sk and passmore coming on like children to gloat like they're in a playground.
AH imo is doing what he said he would, but you can't account for this stock market.
