What's happening right now is a standard squeeze of shares remaining in the hands of small shareholders. Important information that most have ignored, and that's all the nonsense in discussion about a the new name, is that currently, approximately 4.4% of ITV shares remain in the hands of small investors, or roughly 165 million. In this context, I'm pleased to be among those controlling over 5.25 million ITV shares currently freely held by individual shareholders. And after my two weeks holiday, I'm simply waiting to see how things unfold. And I'm listening to reasonable voices and opinions from various sources. And these tell us to calmly wait for what happens in the market and for the actions of competitors when Comcast's full offer is revealed. So, popcorn and a chilled Coke. All the best for the real, long term ITV shareholders. Patience is a key of the success.

I am tired reading some posts....

This whole discussion about changing the name, speculating about the future... it's not even funny. I suggest you should hold off on making any statements at least until ITV releases an announcement regarding the SKY deal. Then let's calculate the money flowing to ITV and try to translate it into a valuation. Currently, a conservative valuation is £1 to £1.50. The shape of the deal also influences potential moves by competitors. And this isn't just about the subsequent fight for control of Studio, but also potential counter-offers to the negotiated deal with Comcast. This negotiated deal will show the market the financial potential for counter-offers, as well as Comcast's potential valuation of ITV as a whole, along with the possibility of gaining a competitive advantage in the fight for Studio. I still believe that the competition won't give up this company without a fight, if only to drive up the cost of the acquisition by Comcast if they lose. So I suggest you stop writing nonsense and simply wait for the specifics. Most of us have been here so long, accumulating dividends and investing in ITV, that these few weeks are irrelevant. I advise you to spend this time considering what strategy each of you will adopt after the terms of the agreement are announced. This applies to focusing on buying shares, selling at specific valuation levels, or perhaps waiting for the market and competitors to react.

My own valuation of ITV as a whole has not changed. Under current market conditions and over the next 12 months, a fair share price is £1.60-£2.00. I assume a gradual easing of the chaos in the Middle East and a Ukraine that will quickly force Russia to negotiate. As for the economy, regardless of the turmoil within the Labour Party, we expect slow but steady economic growth and a decline in inflation from the end of the third quarter.

Unfortunately, I don't think that any of the ITV investors here will be tempted to buy STV shares. Because STV is a politicized tv station with no prospects, based on external production, in debt to the bone and small shell on the lovely investment shares market.. Well, you'll have to look elsewhere for buyers for your shares.

No. You're wrong. I did the opposite. I wrote this post first, and then used part of it on the ITV forum. That's because the situation is similar in both cases.

As I said: PATIENCE

ITV share price target range: £1.20-£1.50.

A return to the FTSE100 is highly likely as early as September this year.

I will repeat what I have been saying for a long time and the opinion I also published regarding another company.

Realistically speaking, a price change of less than 2%, further confirmed by high volume at the highest and lowest share price's levels, doesn't really offer much room for maneuver for a long-term investor. Considering transaction costs and the 0.5% transaction tax, any such attempt to capitalize on share price fluctuations is a struggle for profits up to 1% of the invested capital. While this may look good for an investment of £100k or more (though the real profit level narrows due to transaction liquidity), in reality, with an investment of up to £5,000 (when we can relatively easily position both supply and demand in the market), we're talking about enough profit for a morning sandwich and coffee at McDonald's. And that's the current reality.

Consolidation is currently taking place on the ITV share market. A deal with SKY seems inevitable. Moreover, medium-term profit forecasts are starting to look truly promising. Shareholders who understand this and persevere will reap the expected rewards. Speculators and touts can at best "bark at the caravan slowly making its way through the desert."

And that's the current reality. As for forecasts, given the current macroeconomic climate and the company's active buyback, it seems much more likely that the company will reach and exceed the annual price highs of around £3.60, as will the company's share valuation dropping below £3.

So my rating is "Strong Buy" and above all start thinking.

It doesn't fit - just s**t up, sell those shares if you ever owned them, and don't try to understand the market. Otherwise, look back and understand that in most cases, the second and half of the third quarter of the year see increases in the price of these shares. Furthermore, a moderate increase in inflation, although partially reducing demand, in the case of Sainsbury's drives sales. So there's no reason to complain about any changes to forecasts. And the dividend... Someone here forgets that it represents almost 3% of the current valuation, will be credited to accounts in just three weeks, and will likely at least partially support purchases of these shares. And on top of that, there's a buyback underway, which means at least another 6-7 million shares being taken off the market every week.

Discussing with trolls is pointless. It's much better to simply wait patiently for the SKY deal to be signed. What then? In my opinion, ITV's valuation should quickly reach the £1.2-1.50 range. This will also be the market's response to a realistic future sale of STUDIO. Stupid discussions about what, when, and for how much are pointless. The FIFA World Cup is currently underway, and it's creating a strong basis for increasing the valuation of the entire advertising sector. Only fools and our trolls fail to see the low trading volume and the increasing concentration of shares in powerful hands. But you'll never please them.

All the best for the real long-term ITV shareholders.

You want Wizz Air's share price to rise? Start buying, stop crying and trying to convince others to do your job. Bit ... I suggest you too just look at the level of shorts, the crude oil price, and consider that another US military intervention will bring our valuation below 800 pence. I won't ask you of to start thinking. It's unrealistic.

Strong Sell

Those several hundred million euros earmarked for dividends, supposedly meaningless to Wizzair as some "wise men" suggest, are a guarantee of survival for a few more weeks—if the market sinks into the abyss it's currently on. This management team are maybe idiots, but not suicidal people celebrating on the Titanic.

And as I said on Friday... we have funny Monday, but don't worry it's just firt step.

As usual, the optimists here are reading a different story. It's strange that the markets primarily see uncertainty about future profits. After all, that's how the inability to make any forecasts regarding future costs, potential profits, or losses from operations should be interpreted. As for the dividend ,..., we'll wait for shareholders' decisions, although in such an uncertain market, paying it out could prove suicidal.

Funny days are coming....

I traded my popcorn for a glass of whiskey on the rocks. But Monday and Tuesday promise to be a fun days.

Any positive sign that the downward trend in Wizzair shares is likely to end would be a drop in short positions below 5%. I also believe that long-term institutional investors will not change their minds as long as the current management and their associates remain in power. This is only possible if the share price plummets and pressure mounts for a hostile takeover of Wizzair. Until then, Wizzair will remain a typically speculative company, doomed to collapse or be devoured and "consumed" in the long run.

My assessment is that the third and fourth quarters of 2026, and even the first quarter of 2027, could prove very challenging for the entire passenger air transport sector. As I predicted before, consumer demand for air travel has already plummeted. Fuel availability will soon be a problem, further impacting demand. No one plans a trip unless they're sure whether the flight will take place and exactly when, whether they'll incur additional costs, or whether the cost of the trip alone will make it unaffordable and to expensive. The market doesn't judge what will happen in a week, but what the consequences of this will be in a few months or a year. Therefore, if even only these no disastrous and only zke average forecasts are accurate, we're in for a wave of takeovers and bankruptcies, and this will happen with valuations far below the valuations of the companies' assets themselves. I'm an economist. No one will convince me that in the long term, it's okay to live on credit, believing that things will improve after a while. The market quickly verifies illusions. Fools pay the price until the end.
