Stach, short selling should be banned! And people who write negative comments about stocks on chat boards like this should be prosecuted by the authorities. Regarding market makers, I would like to see them compelled by the law to only increase the prices of stocks which they deal in. I have suffered greatly over the years by market makers reducing the prices of shares which I own to below the price at which I purchased them and I am sure that I am not the only one!

I do not understand Polishcap. Here are the annual revenue figures for CARD (for 12 months to end of Jan) including market forecasts for 2025 and 2026.

2019A: £436m

2020A: £452m

2021A: £285m

2022A: £364m

2023A: £463m

2024A: £510m

2025F: £546m

2026F: £589m

It looks to be a growing business to me

Thanks Billybob15

Can anyone really explain the sudden and dramatic sell off CARD since mid September? Is it basically that the interim results were disappointing?

When will Serica put out its next trading statement/results?

We have the fiscal regime in place now. The uncertainty is gone. The oil price is up today. But Serica shares are getting slammed. Anyone know why?

So which of these broker scenarios do we now have

290p current plus buchan

250p current with capital allowances

180p current with removal of capital allowance

JamesOxford I wish you were my Dad!

What I like about this discussion board is that it does not concern itself too much with micro issues such as the prospects for Capita PLC shares. Rather, it focuses on the bigger picture, namely the political economy of the United Kingdom. Those small minded souls who are interested in narrow subjects like Capita PLC should go elsewhere and leave the philosopher kings on this board to do their stuff for if they ruled the UK and to be honest the wider world we would all be so much better off!

How much more is left of the buyback> The original size was $100m.

Rank getting crushed. Anyone know why. It had such a positive statement last week.

Rank shares have already recovered all the losses caused by the tax worry and are now above where they were before the story broke. Other UK gaming stocks have made tiny recoveries. What is going on at Rank? Makes no sense.

FXPO shares up ahead of Zelensky presenting his victory plan to the Ukraine parliament. He has said he does not expect the war to go on much longer. I guess Zelensky has a secret weapon which will destroy Russian forces and liberate his land. That would boost FXPO shares greatly.

Anyone know why Serica is down 5pct at the moment?

Rank shares down 3% so far today. Not bad when compared to the rest of the UK gambling sector.

Entain: -7%

Flutter: -5%

Evoke: -12%

888: -13%

Why is Rank holding us so well?

Is someone load up on this stock and the market makers keeping it down? Because we have had a lot of volume traded this morning.

UK chancellor Rachel Reeves has paved the way for higher government capital spending, fuelling the debate over the future of her borrowing rules, declaring: “Growth is the challenge and investment is the solution.”

Reeves signalled in her speech that she wanted to find ways of better measuring the benefits of investment in Treasury planning, creating space for greater public spending in roads, rail and green infrastructure.

Surely that should be very good for Costain?

Feels like it is about to move towards 100p

Deutsche Bank would agree with you Mary. This is what the bank said following last month's results from Rank:

Rank has reported 9% LFL net revenue growth to £737.4m (DBe +8%), and owing

to its high operating leverage, a more than doubling of EBIT to £46.5m (DBe

£46.0m). The 1% beat relates to slightly stronger than expected trading in Q4 with

LFL NGR +14% yoy.

Rank is trading at just 4.4x FY25E EV/EBITDA. With more than 40% upside to our

120p target price (raised from 110p as we roll-over forecasts), we retain our Buy

recommendation.
