I in the RNs today I read:

"Like-for-like portfolio valuation increased 1.0% to £811.3 million (31 March 2023: £828.8 million)."

Surely this maeans that the valuation dropped from £828.8M to £811.3M!

It dropped by £17.5M. A 1% increase? my backside.

What is this?

"In the six months ended 30 September 2023, SSE's adjusted earnings per share on continuing operations was 37.0p. This compares to 41.8p for the previous year and reflects the movements in adjusted operating profit outlined in the section above, as well as the normal seasonal nature of operations that deliver the majority of annual earnings in the second half of SSE's financial year."

It is logical that the EPS is affected by the "... the movements in adjusted operating profit...", but what is worse is the final part of the explanation for the reduction in EPS.

It states "... the normal seasonal nature of operations ...", does this mean that the 4p EPS reduction is because the 1st 6 months of 2022 were in a different season? RUBBISH! Please explain the comment made, as I must be missing something.

Shares such that the total holding held by the Grant Family Concert Party is 23,651,750 Ordinary Shares representing 52.86% of the issued share capital of the Company. The remainder (less than 48%) don't have a say in the next steps of proceedings.

Looks like this is the end of the road for Jarvis. Some bad news coming - No dividend/restructuring/fundraise - and maybe they will take this company private?!

Superdry may recover, but that will not immediately.

Q1 makes bad reading too, suggesting that worse is still to come.

The company already commented that turnover is not going to recover during 2024, Q1 is a good example of this.

2025 then......?

15 transactions today and the shareprice drops more than 10%?

Looks like I am missing something.

Looks like I am missing something.

Today the company served us notice of their AGM, normally this is done after the final results have been unveiled.

Any idea when thay will be doing that, or when the final results came out?!

There must have been a reason fos Sydbank to pull out. Initially I was optimistic and thought the banks must be queing up to lend to a quality company. The time it has now taken to get a new loan in place, makes me wonder if there is someting fundamentally wrong with the business. Would it have something to do with their assets and their valuation I wonder.

Does this mean that PMI is now the largest shareholder? The PMI share price has also been dropping from time.

Looks like a good wedding!

I wonder what the viability of this company is. It looks it is just loosing the money that people have pumped in. Only January 2023 there was a fundraise of 7p a share. only to find the company still need more liquidity, this time @ 3p a share. The company seems cash thirsty, and the share price has more than halved in only 5 months. And after all that we have not een much of a result.

Any idea why there was no Q1 trading update on the day of the AGM, like last year?
Do we now if there will be, and if so when, theQ1 update will be?

There need not to be any shortages. It looks like it is time for the UK to invest in new technology such as LST, so that the UK is no longer dependent on produce from other countries. The UK wanted BREXIT, they wanted to be independent.
So far they are not doing a good job.
Are they not proud about "Produced in the UK"?
However, UK compnies are notorious for not invesing in to the future. Not equipment wise and not staff wise.
Hence, the UK wages are lacking well behind most developed countries. SHAME on them.
UK companies do not understand that when you invest in your own staff, staff will be happier and become more productive.

Zillah Byng-Thorne just got awarded £600K in shares. What a nice leaving present!
I wish my employers were just as generous.

Christopher Frederick Hill collected 18,000 free HL. shares as the CEO of the company.
What honest right does he have to collect these when the share price in the space of 1 year has halved.
The shares should be handed back with immediate effect, and let him do a good days work first, so that we can say he deserves the free shares. If I would have performed like that I would have been sacked.
Let's discuss this at the next AGM!

Interesting times of high inflation. How will that impact the increase on wages? The higher the wages the higher the commission (is a % of the wages of the introduced temp. employee), the higher therevenue of the agency.
Can't loose.

Not sure what the market is like? Who are the competitors? What is their maket share? Are the struggeling to get an increased maket share?

Lucky for me I just got out in time with a miniscule profit. Considering to go back in?! I am not sure yet.

Freebies, Freebies, Freebies, ...................................... poor genuine shareholders who have to pay their way.

Richard Hutton acquired 8,386 Shares on 20 May 2022 by exercising an option granted pursuant to the Company's Performance Share Plan.

The grant was made at an option price of £nil per Share and was subject to performance conditions which were subsequently achieved in part.

Poor Mr Richard Hutton, his salary is not sufficient, it needs to be complemented with 1000's of FREE shares.

Nobody in the company noticed the decrease of the share price from £28 to £21-£22?!
Also, it was achieved in part, what if it was achieved in full, how many 1000's FREE shares would he have gotten.

So when profitability and the share price go down during the looming recession, he will have to hand the shares or pay the shares back?!

What a CRAP!

What crap is this:

"The Company confirms that following his participation in the Spirent US Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("US ESPP")and the completion of a 12 month savings period, Eric Updyke purchased 3,503 shares at a 15% discount to the market price on 29 April 2022."

Savings scheme or no savings scheme, freebies or discounted share purchases such as these should be banned.
Directors of companies are on good enough (too much) money to purchase their own company shares at full cost.
Would Eric Updyke have purchased these shares without the discount.

There is too much going on in a lot of companies where directors are just helping themselves, at the cost of the genuine shareholder.
Directors trading in their own companies' shares should be forbidden anyway.
" ..... discharging responsibility ....." my backside!

It is especially bad when the company is chargng £1 for printed tickets. First of all, I do not have email on my phone, something has gone wrong and I can't access it no more. Anyhow, I am not changing my phone to please trainline.com , nor am I prepared to pay the £1 surcharge. I have now stopped buying tickets online, and I a sure many other customers think the same.
I also find it very unhelpful when you buy tickets for more than one person, as it creates a delay at the ticket barriers.
With paper tickets you can give each person their ticket in order to get through the ticket barriers.
For me this stock is a sell, apart from the issue mentioned above, there are various known other issues such as the effect of Covid.
