Share tip: Airport caterer SSP is set for take-off
The market has not been kind to the company behind Upper Crust and Millie’s. But more people are flying now and SSP’s shares will rise again
Shares in aviation companies have failed to recover in the four years since Covid upended their fortunes. Although figures from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) show that the number of passengers is close to hitting pre-pandemic levels, airline stocks are, in the main, still flying well below their earlier trajectory. Oil price volatility means that pattern is likely to continue.
But travel is on the up, as IATA’s figures show, and the FTSE 250-listed SSP, which runs thousands of restaurants and cafés in train stations and airports in 36 countries, looks set to capitalise. It has been a slower burner than anticipated; I first tipped the stock in June 2022, when only three quarters of SSP’s estate had reopened after the pandemic.

Yes I realise it was weeks old, but was he not reported as already oening some. Was only asking I wonder what he is doing, not suggesting anything else.
I still remember Next at 2p, all doomed and yet survived.
Since the Dec post that saw a low of 14.58p iirc, the company has just gotten on with it, business as usual. More contracts, extensions and no implosion as the naysayers called for.
3/4 months later, did the shorters not tell us it was all over and a bust. Money was going to run out. Covenants breached.
In reality the SP near trebled to 42p and then was attacked again getting down to about 22/3 and a base to strengthen from.
Since then the price action has been firming with the spike to 30p falling to 25p and then back up. Plenty of opportunities to trim and add but will trim at 70p,
If Aiden is half the legend he seems to be this will multibag again.
A coiled spring like S4 Capital.
Of course only risk what you can afford.
Those who sold out below 15p must be sick at the moment. Perhaps they will be right but Mr Market is saying otherwise.
Buckle up, this could be legendary.

Viavi, you know you want Spirent.
The SP of Viavi reacted strongly and positively to the tie up so the US market saw it as a great deal and a super bolt on.
UK market saw it as a steal of a prized UK telecoms pioneer and always believed there would ne more.
Viavi can well afford a knockout blow and still not overpay.
Have their directors seen their share price to realise the market want them to do a better deal. Plenty of scope to do so without overpaying.
Am not buying more Spirent in anticipation, however seems to be a no brainer to hold and expect more.
Like Oliver twist, we are holding out our bowl.
It is usually easy to get a resolution without a referral in the region of £100 without much hassle.
In this case it raises more concerns about what he hid from his family, did they open his private mail.
The stress would appear self inflicted. Simple if you do not want it shred it. Done in seconds, no stress.
£500 fat chance.... however it cost Vanq around £800 plus staff time. A disgrace in itself.
Re the 100k quantity, not every single can be the same with a 5000 quantity or 10000 etc. It depends on the funds you have free to invest. A sizeable holding is relative.
I see on LSE talking about 250k bets or more, that is great if they can, but like me most do not have that much to risk in one company.
