For what it’s worth…in case this was missed

IDS said this related to “usual standard procedures” but did not say when the results will be published. It is understood that the delay does not relate to any material financial issues

Now back to my deck chair..23 degreas and forecast to get warmer next week.

Relax and chill…

There will only be one winner now or in the future.

And it ain’t the walking moaning militant postie.

Sid

Is it a simple majority he needs to buy the company

You said it…simple…s

Which will be hard to achieve without those large shareholders on board.

Personally hope this gets kicked into the long grass…more money to come over the years…prefer a slow killing than one large wedge in one go …..the only happy bunny would be the tax man

God help the TAF posties

Fooooked with a takeover

Foooooked without a take over

Sid

If DK already owns 27.5% , looks like the board is in his pockets, maybe he's offered them jobs, can DK pick and choose with ii to talk to, maybe put pressure on a few ii's, then all ii will fall in line....

You said it…but the board won’t make the ultimate decision….will they..

Shareholders will have been sounded out…they will have given there thoughts…

I will be surprised if there thoughts will be …hey..you can have the place for £3.70 a share…

More likely he’s been given a price that doesn’t sit right…

Being a billionaire your used to getting your own way…perhaps he’s said sod it..let’s see if your pulling my leg….heres £3.70.

Newdealz

What surprises me is how low the bid is…surely there have been discussions with large shareholders already,and I would be very surprised if they had given the ok to £3.70.

I can only assume that the board have been sweat talked,and there hoping there approval will hold some sway.

If this is the case I would suggest this could be an error of judgement…

Or could it all be part of a billionaires plan…hope for £3.70 knowing in reality it’s going to cost north of £4.

Cat and mouse at its finest…

Extension for negotiation.

Personally hope it’s rejected,more money to be made down the line

Let the TAF keep walking and bending over.

Will stay in my deckchair watching the MADERIA sky.

N/d

Should that not read £4+

Personally would prefer it turned down under £4.

Then once the turn around gains traction and the share price rises,let him have another bash in time.

£1.20 coming when kretinski dumps his stock.

Start looking for those canoes boys.

postie plan

chat **** all the way down

paddles at the ready🤩

Not going to crow…but one of my rules is follow the money,the money men usually get what they want.

I while back I was invested in a company,there was a stalking horse,they tried to convince the board to sell,but they wouldn’t…….so the stalking horse just got a few friends buying as well,then went back when the time was right.

Guess what…it was bought.

If vesa want Royal Mail they will get it,maybe not straight away,but they will eventually force the hand of the board.

Keep those paddles boys,a lot may need them.

The Royal Mail share price, International Distributions Services PLC (LON: IDS), rallied 6.21% higher after an HSBC analyst upgraded its rating. Investors reacted positively to the upgrade, as evidenced by the rally in its share price.  In a recent investor note, HSBC analyst Achal Kumar revised the rating of International Distribution Services, lifting it from ‘Hold' to ‘Buy'. Alongside this upgrade, HSBC has also increased the price target for the company from 280 GBp to 314 GBp.

Kumar's decision is based on the potential for International Distribution Services to enact structural changes expected to yield substantial financial advantages in the forthcoming years. This optimistic outlook was detailed in a research note distributed to investors, indicating an optimistic forecast for the company's financial trajectory.

The upgrade by HSBC suggests robust confidence in International Distribution Services' ability to implement strategic reforms that could significantly enhance its financial performance. This move by the analyst reflects a belief in the company's potential for growth and profitability soon.

International Distribution Services (IDS) recently announced a substantial 9.8% increase in its third-quarter revenue, reaching £3.6 billion. This growth was primarily propelled by the impressive performance of Royal Mail, which experienced a 13.1% increase in sales and a 21% surge in parcel volumes.

This improvement is attributed to the regaining of customers whose strikes in the previous year had impacted. Additionally, GLS, IDS's international parcel service, reported a 4.4% growth in sales. Despite a £169 million loss in the year's first half, IDS anticipates a recovery in the second half, aiming for a full-year result close to breakeven.

Royal Mail's performance during the critical Christmas season was pivotal for IDS, especially considering the hiring of temporary workers. However, the previous year's strike actions somewhat influenced this growth. Declaring a full recovery at this stage may be premature.

Royal Mail, and by extension IDS, faces several challenges. Parcel volumes have decreased from the pandemic highs, and letter delivery continues its structural decline. 

@baby shark

Not to sure if it was coincidence,but my share account flew up almost as much as stalkerspys IDS buying fund…around the time this was released…

Change is real.

Change will be brutal.

Change has a long way to go.

Beautiful day Today,but almost fell off my chair laughing at this though,only a copy and paste but for those who need a chuckle.

General Secretary Dave Ward was on Sky News this morning discussing the leaked reports on OFCOMs review of the USO proposals.

……

CWU STATEMENT ON PRESS REPORTS

The early leaking of the details of the OFCOM report on the future of the Universal Service Obligation (USO) to the media sums up the lack of professionalism, integrity and credibility they have as a regulator.

This report, like their previous investigation on quality of service, has been produced without the input of a single postal worker or the CWU. OFCOM have abandoned their responsibilities on quality of service and are now attempting to do the same on the USO.

Debating the future of the postal service in the absence of those who work for it and deliver it everyday is completely inappropriate and should tell everybody what OFCOM’s real priorities and motives are.

It is therefore no surprise to see OFCOM potentially recommending letter deliveries every other day which is a serious down-dialling of the USO to a level which would threaten tens of thousands of jobs. This is the regulator openly pursuing the failed agenda of the former Royal Mail Group senior leadership - all of whom have now left the company.

The CWU and our members are not blind to the need for change. But we want changed based on the needs of customers, the security of our members jobs and driven by an ambitious growth strategy that sees the infrastructure, fleet and presence in every community as Royal Mail’s key assets.

The CWU will work with economists to produce an alternative and independent view on the future of postal services in the UK and embark on a major engagement exercise with our members, businesses and the public.

This is a huge test of the new leadership of Royal Mail. There has been some positive recent signs but they must now decide whether to back a completely failed vision which will destroy the company or change direction and join the CWU in expanding the role of postal workers and in turn expanding services, job security and profit

THE DOORS AJAR ON SEVERAL FRONTS,JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ITS THRUST WIDE OPEN.

WE DO LOVE AN RNS…

Oli oli oli

What’s also interesting in the report is that OFCOM found there is no evidence that senior management were prioritising parcels over letters and the reason for poor QoS?……

High staff absence. Lol.

Best get your savour darren jones on the case😂😂😂😂

If the t.a.f.postie still can’t see what’s coming they deserve to have there oars taken away.

Nice average,med long term looking more rosy by the week.

Is it still dark when the postie gets up in the morning 🤷‍♂️

Keep up the good work for shareholders all miserable posties,xmas almost here.

No Opinion

RE: OFCOMToday 09:09

I wonder why RM did not contest the fine...

Probably because a deal behind the scenes with regards the USO has been agreed.

Posties keep working hard.

Keep that money rolling in for shareholders.

Look forward to the March changes.
