I agree, I think it is a great move.

Any idea on the figure paid? The only mention on the RNS is this: 'The acquisition will be funded out of existing financing facilities and will not materially impact our leverage position.'

Whilst the company maintained guidance, it now included earnings from Hibbert which were previously going to be in addition. So effectively, guidance for the year was reduced.

Add in Nikes decline and the currency issues ( which have been slightly reduced since yesterday morning) and there are a few reasons for the drop.

Also, I'm getting the impression people are a bit nervous about putting their miney into UK shares until we know what is going to be said in the budget at the end of october.

Good news and well overdue, don't know why there haven't been any buybacks for the last weeks.

Nike down 6% in after hours trading.

Nike Inc. reported better-than-expected earnings, yet its stock dropped after the company announced it would be withdrawing its financial forecast for the full year and postponing its first investor day in seven years. Read across here could be bad for JD.

Thanks Pokerchops. The consensus figures make very good reading. If you know of any other shares where the EPS is forecast to nearly double in just over 2 years please let me know!

Silver up 4.5% to above USD32.00. Looks very promising.

If you click the More.Information bar just below it brings it back up but I agree it was nice to have it there with notification in red so you could see any new RNS that day.

You can still see all RNS by click the menu button in the top right (3 little lines) and going down to News/RNS.

Simon Thompson recommended Loopup (LOOP) at 245p and look where that ended up.

Further 3.5% decline today. This is well oversold now. There's no logic to this fall whatsoever.

I was very surprised we hit 52 week lows this month.

Interim results are on 16 October so only 7 weeks away. Hoping for a bit of rise in the results as I'm confident trading will have been good.

The Q1 trading update is on Tuesday 3rd September alongside the AGM.

Silver down 1.7% and gold down 0.7% not helping.

I thought the results were pretty good, I guess the market expected more.

Excellent set of results IMO, FY guidance upped and great execution of strategy. Fully expect another share buy back soon and a big increase in the divi next year.

Slightly disappointing to see the share price fall in early trading but we have had a good run recently. Should hopefully be some broker upgrades coming in the next few week which might take us up towards 3000p.

I'm pretty sure that's an error by Google. No other platforms are showing that drop.

I have seen similar errors from Google Finance in the past.

Great update. Plenty more to come from this share near term and long term.

Price of gold down 1.4%, silver down 3.7%.

Not good news for BEZ given their large exposure to cyber liability.

Depending on the circumstances and how long it lasts, there could be some significant claims, especially for business interruption.

Would have to be someone with VERY deep pockets. The current market cap is £55bn so not going to go for any less than £70bn.

Would be surprised if it happens any time soon.

Sompo are definitely trying to grow in the UK so wouldn't be surprised if they made a move.

Generali are one of Italy's biggest insurers and are frequently linked with big moves into the UK market although their footprint over here is relatively small.

With Hiscox having undertaking a complete review of the business following the covid losses, but the shareprice still undervaluing the company, the timing would make sense.
