They had probably calculated the book value but forgot to adjust for the euro. Yes VOD does have a strong balance sheet (much stronger than BT for example) and the book price is closer to 235p so trading well below that now.

Could be rumours of a bid also. High volumes all week.

4th Jan 2018 Strong performance in the second half of the year delivered closing cash and cash equivalents of approximately �104 million net of �1.4 million outflows in respect of the �15 million share buyback programme which commenced on 14 November. Full year 2017 revenue anticipated to be in line with the Board's expectations

Robust sales growth across the board. Conference call just ending now.

Could be some M&A news around in the sector.

What's crazy here is the fact the company has over 100 million in cash. No issues with debt etc. Hence GSK rumours of 175p/share.

What's your shorters take on this?

.

Liabilities down $6.5Bn year on year. That's big.

21.46p/share

Following the update to the strategic review on January 8, 2018, Shire is well underway in creating two divisions, one focused on rare diseases, the other on neuroscience. Alongside this, we are already active in optimizing our portfolio within each division, and we anticipate that this may lead to some opportunities for disposals. While recognizing our commitment to continue delevering as previously announced, any surplus capital released from such disposals would be evaluated by the Board for return to shareholders. Assessing Shire's overall capital structure and appropriate mid / long term debt level will be a key initial assignment for the new CFO, who is expected to join on March 19, 2018.

Net debt down $3.4Bn

UK bond yields are not even 1% FYI. US yields are below 3%. NG is yielding 6%.

Massively oversold. RSI<20 Of course opening a short seems to always automatically drop the SP for these hedge funds. #rogue Suspect buyers will return come final results and Spring final dividend.

"Our group is positioned to deliver into our objective of mining relatively low-cost, high-margin and sustainable gold ounces. The past 12 months has been a watershed period during which we reassessed the sustainability of all our operations and dealt with issues causing operational disruptions. We expect improved production and cost savings in the next reporting period," Pan African Chief Executive Cobus Loots said.

Coming in brilliantly ahead of schedule and below budget is the Elikhulu tailings retreatment project, which will ensure that more than a third of Pan African's yearly gold production arises from low-cost, low-risk tailings businesses, which have long lives ahead of them. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video). The Evander Tailings Retreatment Plant (ETRP), which paid for its initial capital outlay in less than three years and produces 20 000 oz/y and still has 14 years ahead of it, may be folded into Eiikhulu, which will begin churning out 56 000 oz a year from August for the first eight years. On its initial capital estimate of R1.74-billion, Elikhulu's payback is forecast at four years post commissioning. In addition, a regrind mill being installed at the Barberton Tailings Retreatment Plant, which achieved 18-month payback of initial capital outlay and which has 14 years ahead of it, is set to take the plant back to 20 000 oz of gold a year at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of $650/oz. This adds up to the London- and Johannesburg-listed gold-mining company producing 100 000 oz of gold a year from the tailings operations, at an AISC of below $700/oz, which is exceptional. http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/tailings-tailwind-major-boon-for-pan-african-as-rand-gold-price-falls-2018-02-13

I would ask the hierarchy when they call you rx and quote some of the fund/institutional buying figures also. BTW Batchelor and the FCA have certainly been notified. Lockdown is into its 3rd month now. Far too long. Spire was 6 weeks.

SP close to all time lows. Yield close to 6% Strip out exceptionals and depreciation and you get an obscene P/E of around 4 (!) As for FTSE350 we are comfortably inside as the cut off is around �700M market cap

As you allude to the extent of the fall just can not be justified here. A 5-10% drop to the 160p-170p range perhaps but 40%? PI's selling do not cause falls of this magnitude yet data shows it is not funds or institutions selling if anything they have been accumulating. Shorts <0.5% also as per FCA. Company has finally released an RNS saying trading is in line with expectations. Nearly 3 months stuck in this range now. So again WTF is going on here?
