Anyone notice the delayed trade today?

11:33:02 22-Apr-2020 129.90 GBX 35,008,873 45,476,526.03

the spread is killing this

it has been confirmed that neither Kingspan or SIG have provided any update to the CMA, therefore it is going to a Stage 2 investigation. Looks like it may be a while before being resolved!

However, there are a couple of late trades;

17:13:01 17-Apr-2020 17.88 GBX 191,000 34,150.80 Off-book XOFF
17:04:18 17-Apr-2020 17.88 GBX 75,566 13,511.96 Off-book TNCP XOFF

It’s just the UT calm down!

from 12:34:19 16-Apr-2020 21.25 GBX 538,700 114,462.98

Or should that be a Grid X delay!!

I think LSE is playing up as normal, showing on VOX.

GL with it

Was it for 952k

Constant 1m + seller, recent placing shares being sold at a loss? Hopefully whoever it is will be done soon

IMO the SP has been harshly treated today, many people not seeing the bigger picture

just taking a breather before the next leg up

wouldn't be surprised to see this finish the day up. Seems to me like a well written update, balancing investors expectations in paying the dividend, against any public out cry from Tesco being seen to make profit out of the current climate.
Basically saying that the benefit of the Business rate holiday, is wiped out by the increased overhead costs. People moaning that the 700m should have gone to the NHS, forgetting that they are offering up to 45,000 extra temporary jobs, which will provide relief for a lot of people currently out of work, as well as increased income tax payments for the government.
looks like a win, win to me.

Some positive points in their latest updates to customers;

Supporting our colleagues



We’ve already confirmed that we’ll pay our vulnerable, pregnant and self-isolating colleagues from day one. We also introduced a 10% bonus for colleagues in stores, distribution centres and our call centre.
From yesterday, all our colleagues will get a 15% discount on all their Tesco shopping for the next four weeks as a further token of our appreciation.
We’ve also recruited 45,000 temporary colleagues to support our stores and distribution centres, given the number of colleagues who can’t work due to COVID-19.



Supporting our communities



Yesterday we confirmed that we’re the retail partner of SalutetheNHS.org which will provide one million free meal parcels to frontline NHS workers. We’ll donate all the food and ingredients used in the production of these food parcels.
Also yesterday, we began work on our first dedicated NHS Nightingale Hospital pop-up store, at the NEC in Birmingham. We’ll provide NHS staff with on-site 24-hour access to the food and household products they need. Construction at the NEC started on Sunday and we aim to be open by the end of next week – so it’s all hands on deck. We’re in late-stage discussions with other Nightingale sites, and hope that this is the first of several pop-up Tesco stores that will help the NHS staff in those hospitals.

There’s a fine line at the moment, will be interesting to see which way they go with it

I think you’ve read the post out of context, I think it’s meant to read ‘Not a bad time to buy in Tesco’
