RE: Price Movement Today19 Jan 2021 10:08
While I agree with you that it is good to be cynical, I cannot agree with your comment today regarding the share price movement. The shares have been very stable for over one month and were modestly down yesterday. The movement today is attributable solely to the 1H trading statement released at 7.00am, which stated that sales are up 11% and PBT will be £6m, way ahead of market expectations. Its broker has a PBT forecast for 2021 of £8.9m. Given that the outlook statement is very positive, this forecast looks very low, hence the share price movement. This is not insider movement before an announcement.
