Multiple accounts troll still in action.
Fortunately you don't have any influence on the share price or on the actions and decisions made by ITV's largest shareholders. Only stupid people allow themselves to be manipulated and make decisions based on troll advice.
I made over 17% profit only on the money which I invested this year in ITV shares (including divi payment on 23th May). Over £24k total in divi payments from my first investment in ITV shares in February/March 2022 up to last one in April 2024 . It's easy to said - you are able to make more on different companies,.., yes,but you were able to lost everything too. I invested with my option "buy and wait, buy and take a divi and reinvest it". Patience. I will sell my 290k shares stock not less than £1.5-2. But before it will happen just reinvest my divi payment on 23th.I have a time and vision which is similar to the strategy made by CEO.
You are talking about money. Just look in your wallet. How much percentage profit you make on your full investment this year??
It's time to forget about ITV's valuation in the 60-70 pence range and focus on a more realistic return to a price above £1 per share. And I advise everyone to monitor both the trading volume and, above all, the valuation of ITV against the background of a possible return to the FTSE100 index. Investments in this respect are not made when such a decision is announced, but when it is predictable. In my opinion, it would bring a 20-30% increase in the valuation of ITV shares. I understand that I am repeating it once again, but my assessment is based on moderate financial and UK market predictions. Anyway, we'll see.
I wrote a couple weeks ago: ... that I expect that many investors will be surprised with first quarter financial results and profits predictions for the rest of 2024 year. And it's doesn't matter how be will looking full UK financial market. After 5 years of investment and rebuild of ITV it's coming time for a financial profits. It's not too long to check am I was wrong or right. I hope and impression that some important and big investors had a same opinion and last recent large share volume with over 1.5% daily price changes, indicate that ITV shares are being moved to more aggressive portfolios. Accounting procedures are usually performed at the end of year quarters for a specific purpose and when large changes in the value of shares are expected. I don't think they expected the decline in ITV's valuation. But this is just my opinion when it comes to accounting financial operations. Many people will probably disagree with it Similarly to my assessment that the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board's short position a few months ago was related to their exposure to ITV shares. For me, this was another very strong buy signal for the stock, although I remember the reaction to my comment.
I think that in a few months we will able to see that I was right in this matter and above all, that the large institutional investors have a much longer perspective to evaluate the investment, also due to potential problems with its allocation on an illiquid market. Some trolls and investors need to understand that institutional investors are less susceptible to emotions and they really more reliable financial assessments of the companies in which they invest too. What matters is long-term profit and the possibility of achieving it on an appropriate financial scale. Short-term speculations are subordinated to long-term investment strategies. All this allows you to limit losses and maximize profits. Patience and cold calculation always win.
On any shares we are able to find a time for quick speculation. Unfortunately, in my opinion ITV shares aren't so speculative material. It is a big possibility, that we are get 1-3 day huge increase in share price, additionally secured by buyback. Trying to earn 1-2%, which really means several hundred pounds for an investment of up to £20k, may result in the loss of 15-30% of the potential profit and the need to resign from investing in ITV, make purchases at a much higher price level or wait with troll comments for the price drop. This can be seen on this forum among people who sold ITV before the dividend for around 70-72 pence, and today are trying to convince themselves and others that it will be cheaper so that they can buy back the shares.

I only wrote what I think about the stupid, arrogant and offensive opinions expressed here about the CEO and management. As I said. You don't have money - adapt to those who have it. Use other people's knowledge and adapt your investment strategy, or sell shares and change your investment. This is probably a sad reality for some people. And it applies to every joint stock company in which we invest, not just ITV.
I maintain a portfolio of up to 3 companies myself. I think this allows me to somewhat fully control the situation and assess the risk. This doesn't mean I don't make mistakes, but it's the final bill that counts. I also assume that when I find a "dark horse" where the risk of profits to losses is 3:1 or more, I just reduce quickly my investment portfolio only to this one company. This is my strategy developed after almost 30 years (with breaks) of investing on the stock market.
Everyone should assess the risk individually. In the case of ITV, I think I know what I'm talking about. A possible changes, delays or accelerations in tghis cycle in time is always possible. However, the current financial situation of the company and its position on the market, even with external problems, allow for more than an optimistic scenario. The fact that the trolls here try to convince us of the opposite proves nothing. Most of them have neither knowledge nor money, and are only frustrated with the losses they have incurred.
As you can see, this ridiculous CEO discussion is still going on. Like I said, people have a choice. Just invest £1.5 billion, take power and set the rules. Alternatively, you can invest a little less but reach an agreement with the largest shareholders. If you don't have that kind of money, you should simply either get rid of ITV shares or accept the decisions of the majority of shareholders who wanted to vote. However, I understand that most trolls have not invested more than £10k but believe that they have the right to decide and that they know exactly how ITV should be managed. Of course, all this so that they can become millionaires, get what they can from the company and then look for another chance to make a million. Fortunately, it doesn't work like that in real life or on the stock market.
This CEO is exactly on the place where she should be. She is doing very good job. If you are not agree just... good luck and good bye.
Prediction: up to £1.5 to end off this year. £2.00-£3.00 at the end 2025.
The lack of understanding that forecasts are just forecasts and that they depend on external market conditions, at least some of which cannot be predicted, proves the clear stupidity of those expressing these theses. "well, it didn't work." In addition this people do not read posts explaining what these forecasts are based on. Because as I understand that the answer to the question "Why?" is intellectually beyond some people, I advise you to follow my posts.
As I said... It's just a few days to find out if my ITV share price calculations based on my forecasts are correct. Nobody has to agree too with them or with my way of thinking and drawing conclusions.
71.70 at the end of the session and 72.10 at the end of today.
That is, taking into share's price the dividend 75.40 what means thar we are practically reaching the multi-month maximum.
I think someone other than me has a similar opinion about 2nd and 9th of the May 2, and what will happen to the ITV share price after that.
I just came back from my holiday...
Some trolls won't be happy.
RE: Buyback26 Apr 2024 09:54
The Hell has frozen over.
Trolls praise the Dame.
Shareholders meeting:
* financial forecast update
* interim dividend 1.7 to 2.2 pence
And today's question.
How much will be worth ITV if I was right ?
(better forecasts + interim divi announced)
As for myself we are talking about 75-78 minimum, however there will be no surprise if we see 80-90 pence in next 2 weeks.
Another batch of funds transferred from ITV and buyback is back in the game...
And our trolls still keep trying... I don't know what hurts more, lost money, unearned profits or the fact that others are doing their own thing and don't care about stupid opinions.
Trolls in action. Today's day on this forum clearly shows our local troll company, multiple accounts of the Russian troll & others. This is good, because it is easy to finally see the true face of certain "people" and the mutual connections of certain accounts. Although this is not yet a complete picture of this entire company, it shows its scale. For those who are curious, I recommend using AI to compare comments and indicate percentage similarities. In any case, it's nice to read this gibberish, which also proves that financial failure hurts and errors in judgment cost money.
Life goes on. "The dogs are barking, the caravan is moving on."
Only 17k in buyback today and about 400k in two days. Volume in last days as the same average level. As we know JP Morgan which is responsible for buyback is working for private investors too. Is it the reason so small buyback 'volume, I don't know. 9th May is coming soon...
Coming back to my question...
I won't be surprised if some new declassified buy recommendations for ITV shares appear on the market in the next few days. But as usual, these are just my speculations related to the observed situation on the ITV shares stock.
