So let's put this to bed with some facts on the SP before and after results:
8th drill results on 11 June SP 12.5p, 10 June 11.5p
7th drill results on 30 April SP 8.45p, 29 April 8.92p
6th drill results on 11 March SP 4.62p, 10 March 4.1p
5th drill results on 30 Jan SP 3.40p, 29 Jan 2.91p
4th drill results on 2 December SP 1.79p, 29 Nov (the previous trading day) 1.6p
3rd drill results on 24 October SP1.82p, 23 Oct 1.83p
2nd drill results on 10 September SP 1.8p, 9 Sept 1.75p
1st drill results 25 July on 25 July SP 2.03p, 24 July 1.78p
So I think it is clear that the results on the day are generally met with an increased SP - the only fall was on 30 April right in the heart of the pandemic when shares were all over the place.
Looking at the bigger picture - in a year the SP has gone from 1.91p to today's 12p. So on news there has sometimes been a slow immediate positive response but when investors have reflected on the colossal scale of the RNS's the SP has risen 6-fold.
