I have never had any problems with Ocado deliveries. I live in Oxfordshire and they are always on time, polite and helpful. They also offer free deliveries and put the stuff in plastic bags, which apparently other companies are now refusing to do, plus they give you money back on every bag you return so they can re-use them. Way better than both Tesco and Waitrose.
Well, according to you it's also OVER for Ukraine, FXPO, and PFC - any more that I missed?
(Sharecast News) - JP Morgan has reiterated its 'overweight' ratings on UK-listed gambling stocks Entain and 888, saying that gaming remains its preferred sub-sector within the leisure industry right now.
Despite recent profit warnings from both companies, shares have de-rated by around 20% since June, analyst Estelle Weingrod said in a research note on Thursday. As such, the sector trades at just 8.5 times EBITDA estimates for 2024 on average.
Weingrod said it's attracted to the gaming sector due to its relatively defensive nature during downturns, as well as improved visibility on the back of a "more recreational customer base and the ongoing step-up in safer gambling-related investments".
Further legalisation in certain markets and improving online adoption adds to growth prospects, as well as opportunities for expansion in the US.
JP Morgan has a 1,800p target price for Entain, suggesting significant upside from the current 960p level, while 888 has a target of 150p, compared with Thursday's price of around 90p.
The other UK-listed gaming stock in the bank's coverage, Flutter Entertainment, is rated 'neutral' with a target price of 17,100p, still suggesting some way to go from the current 13,775p level.

Marks & Spencer to regain FTSE 100 spot
Published: 09:10 23 Aug 2023
M&S will return to the FTSE 100 index come September
Marks and Spencer Group PLC (LSE:MKS) is poised to regain its place on London’s blue-chip index after a four-year absence thanks to impressive share price gains this year.
Come September’s reshuffle, M&S will re-emerge on the index, alongside Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC (LSE:DPH), Diploma PLC (LSE:DPLM) and Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (LSE:HIK, OTC:HKMPF), according to benchmark provider FTSE Russell.
They will replace Abrdn PLC (LSE:ABDN), Johnson Matthey PLC (LSE:JMAT), Persimmon PLC (LSE:PSN) and RS Group PLC (LSE:RS1), with confirmation of the changes coming after markets close on 30 August.
M&S has enjoyed a strong first half of this year, with a lift to interim guidance earlier this month only adding fuel to share price gains of 71% since December.
Having struggled in the wake of the pandemic, the retailer made new appointments last year in the form of co-chief executive Katie Bickerstaffe and chief financial officer Jeremy Townsend, which helped shift investor sentiment, according to analysts.
An unexpectedly large improvement in interim profit margins and overall strong performance in its clothing business then saw the stars align for M&S, which has found itself with a market cap of £4.3 billion heading into September.
Thanks - strange no RNS on LSE. That's 170,000 shares he's sold, it would be nice to know how many he has and why he is selling them.
OD - The Chairman and the rest of the board hopefully. That would be a start. The results at 7 am may be give the share price a boost, but this bank is in serious trouble. So anyone who makes a profit would do well to bank it.
NatWest Chair Howard Davies said the bank's chief executive "should not have spoken in the way she did" and that the events will be "taken into account in decisions on remuneration at the appropriate time". Good God, are they all idiots at NatWest? Davies needs to go too!
