When the time comes do we see dividend or share buy back as the best outcome for long term shareholders ? And when could it happen?

Nice!

Many knew this was coming. Insiders on the other boards mentioned it . That’s the reason we never recovered after the last one . This time is different . We have trackers , Mike Ashley , reiterated results , better cash flow prospects . And I’m thinking if the share price now rises before agm , no one is going to give a xxxx they missed out on the placing!

Says not open to the general public

That Sidara buy a part of the business instead of its entirety ? As wood did mention looking to sell pieces to help cash flow

It’s next week it’s expected to start to see buying pressure

Yeah don’t think I’ve seen a 44 million number before! 3.5-4 percent of company?

JG68 depends on how much free float and how tightly held which I think makes this situation different .

1p isn’t a massive move . Would prefer 10p

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

1. Inclusion in the FTSE 250:

• The FTSE 250 index is updated quarterly (in March, June, September, and December). When a company is added to the FTSE 250, the index provider, FTSE Russell, announces the changes.

• The effective date of inclusion for the company (in this case, THG entering the FTSE 250) is set for the quarterly review date (March 21, 2025, in your example).

2. Tracker Funds’ Action:

• Tracker funds that replicate the FTSE 250 will adjust their portfolios to match the new composition of the index. This means they must buy the shares of THG when it is added to the FTSE 250 index.

• These funds typically begin buying the shares around the effective date of the index change, which is usually when FTSE Russell officially makes the change.

3. When Will Tracker Funds Start Buying?

• Tracker funds will typically start buying THG shares on or after the effective date of March 21, 2025.

• However, buying might not be instantaneous across all funds. Funds will start buying shares on that date, but the buying process could take several days depending on the liquidity of the stock and the size of the purchase. Large funds might spread their purchases over a few trading sessions to avoid significantly impacting the stock price.

4. Pre-Announcement Price Movement:

• Before the effective date (i.e., after the announcement of the change but before March 21), you might see anticipatory buying as investors and funds that track the index look to get ahead of the inclusion. This can cause the stock price to rise, as funds and other traders may anticipate that the company will be added to the index.

Summary:

• Yes, tracker funds that track the FTSE 250 are generally required to buy shares of companies that are added to the index.

• If THG is added on March 21, tracker funds will typically begin purchasing THG shares on or after this date, with the buying activity potentially spread over a few days depending on the fund and the liquidity of the stock.

I don’t think this is correct , FIL are currently in recent days offloading , not at svelte but think need to be very clear they are not building up they are reducing

Thanks Surin , I did say Fidelity were reducing but kept getting told they were increasing . Thanks for confirming. Definitely trusting my interpretation next time , what are thoughts on the reductions from the two?

1pencil what do you mean by CD ?

They are down from 10.07 percent to 9.82 percent ? Or am I going mad but that what RNS Say

They sold another 1.7 million and previous update they had sold over 2m . I am invested but trying to understand why they are selling

Why are FIL selling down though ?

8.11 percent increase to be exact ;-)

So about 7 percent unaccounted for

Well the good news it’s taken a decent amount of time to get an extra percent . If he wants to get to 20 percent before March 21 he will definitely need to be paying more!

Or woman (apologies)
