Serica’s Chairman is quite right of course but he’ll have his comments slapped back at him by announcing the maintaining of dividend and commencement of buybacks. It’s a no win situation other than for the UK Treasury .
Wouldn’t worry about the emerging Data, the Market just shrugs that off . It’s the final verdict on conclusion that’s awaited and needed, meanwhile investors carry risk without reward not helped by a clear lack of business acumen being shown that’s clearly unnerved many, witness this BB. Just need to prepare for the rocky ride until definitive results are known, and that’s not a foregone conclusion otherwise we wouldn’t be where we are !
Tony Gardiner ( CFO) should be the fall guy here, he’s not the heavyweight we needed with our obvious funding requirements which has allowed others to roll us over. AS is a scientist, been here from the beginning, the Chair and other Board members are just as complicit but it’s the poor Fund handling, not the science that’s got us here.
Irrespective our voices don’t count, we merely come along buy some shares and then expect to be heard, as common shareholders you need to know your place and it ain’t at the table !
Warming to Ms Truss as recently she’s been talking a lot of sense, unusual I know but there seems to be a growing number of voices joining this chorus. Interestingly the Chinese EV Mfrs have already realised the West are turning luke warm for their products, with customers more questioning the financial implications . Hence their doing what comes natural to them and selling on price not quality. The flood of far cheaper Chinese EV’s is on the way, helped by huge State subsidies , witness in the US where they’re broken below the $10,000 price barrier, even with a 27.5% import tariff . Add to that the growing uncompetitive nature of UK business
being saddled with Net Zero targets , so its little wonder the Chinese are ones happy to promote the Green agenda but only for others to follow. Wise people selling to the gullible.
Well it’s an interesting position they’ve taken, they may just be hoping it will unnerve enough folks to move the price down a few pence. Most won’t base their decisions on what a Company is trying to achieve, if that was the case few would touch BAE Systems !
The Yanks are like lemmings, they’ve seen their beloved Nvidia go negative so that’s triggered a fall in Tech stocks and others just follow, with some commentators calling a correction on the way…not a concern for those with a stronger stomach !
Guess most are awaiting YE results to see if their ‘back to growth’ strategy is actually delivering although having already announced an expected slide in revenue down from 12% to 17%, if they miss that it will be relabelled “back to decline” . Just have to look East to see the culprits.
This could just be a master stroke by Julian, most Retail investors will have departed long ago leaving gamblers to enter who as seen, have been shafted. Still he’s the one doing all the work so can’t blame him for being ruthless.
Slacker, unless you’re trading this I wouldn’t worry as personally can’t see any real SP movement for a long time yet, that’s OK with me as I’ve started slowly adding again on the basis there’s a good chance the worst is behind us. My time horizen is still 2 yrs out min.
