There's no point in arguing with this Russian troll. What hurts him is the money we've been investing money into ITV shares for years, the fact that we're earning money and potentially soon will earn a lot, a lot, a lot more.

Can you feel that tingle in his stinking little butt? Can you hear the rustle of stinking diapers being changed?

All the best to the real long-term ITV shareholders. PATIENCE

I made lots of money on this shares market in the past. For over one year I don't have any Wizzair shares. I buil my portfolio with only one ITV shares at this moment, happy with dividend payment. It's risky deal and investment but it looks like be worth my work and attention.

I try to describe the situation as I see it. I haven't made any personal recommendations for years. In my opinion, a Wizzair shareholder should currently maintain a safe cushion of around 50% cash. It's important to react to large changes in volume. Trading volumes of around a million shares usually signal at least a temporary trend change. A lack of stock price reaction to such volume usually means a deepening of the main trend. A large group of people posting on this forum are clearly lying and repeatedly making counter-moves in their portfolios, taking advantage of others' naivety. I always say – if you say you bought 10,000 shares, you're probably lying. If not, it's no problem to show screenshots of the transaction. I do the same with ITV. So, if I can offer any advice, don't believe the shamans here. When investing in Wizzair, try to capitalize on temporary trends and corrections, investing a maximum of half your shares (currently generating significant losses) and half your cash reserves. If the market is down and oversold, commit all your cash. During times of uncertainty, take modest profits and cut losses immediately. You'll make money either way, but you'll significantly reduce your risk. Also, all the time keep an eye on the volume and the market's oversold/overbought levels. Nothing skyrockets or drops to zero (in one cycle). It's also helpful to stick to your own guidelines, like "I'll take 15% profit and will reduce my share's stock up to 1/4 my portfolio value", rather than overextending your investment, as this ultimately leads to losses. Wizzair is a unique stock. High liquidity, volume, and daily volatility make it the perfect place for both small and large speculation. So treat this stock accordingly and carefully until (if?) it becomes attractive to institutional investors who have exited the investment. Don't look back. What's happened can't be reversed. Good luck.

People should filtered you because you're a costly mistake for everyone who use your advice.

...with (...) a positive scenario..

You 1d1ot.

Last week I predicted a close around 950 to 960 on Friday. I said that it's posible that price will going up, max 1040-1050 (after a new low) before 26th but this is only due to speculation and market oversale. I said on the end of last month that you will get with a positive scenario 900-1050 at the end of 2025. I still think that before any long term ride up (if it is possible) you should see a level 700-800 pence.

In your stupid predictions made since last two months we should be now over 1200, or when anyone will reed again your posts from March - much more over 1200. Anyone who listened your advice, lost your money. You are a shaman. That's reality.

Dreamers...

Your money- your choice.

You had a chance again..

For anyone interested in treating a random purchase of ITV shares like placing bets at a casino, I suggest returning to your previous activities. The casino offers similar thrills, but the action on the ITV shares market unfolds much more slowly. So, good luck, and goodbye.

As for other factors affecting the ITV share price in the near future, the primary issue may be the resolution of the escalating conflict surrounding Venezuela and the emerging bubble in GOLD - BTC - AI. From another side that the US lockdown is coming to an end, which will positively impact the market in the coming days. Dividend payments and reinvested funds will have a limited impact, however. I project a cash inflow of around £12-20 million (18-35% of the total dividend paid, based on the estimated reinvestment level from previous years). However, ongoing negotiations about ITV should slow down any potential ITV share price declines, creating a buying opportunity.

I believe that most of those who slept through Friday's rise are concerned about future or would like to realize speculative profits, will sell their ITV shares and doing so today, or tomorrow at the latest. I won't taking about a long-term individual and institutional investors, as they have their own strategies and realistically assess the potential risks. From my perspective, the more people exit long positions in the price range up to 85 pence, it's better, because the greater the cash outflow, the greater the next growth rate and the share value will increase more as new players will enter the game and old would like to fix own mistake. And I have no doubt that such players will emerge together with news about who is interested in ITV and how much possible will able to pay.

For now, as I've already said, it's best to wait, end speculation, and seize the opportunity. In next days some speculative investors will be cashing in profits, others will treat the current situation as a repeat of previous years, others because of lack extra cash and waiting for dividend payment - will only looking on the market, but remember, that the entire UK financial market awaits now the Budget on November 26th.

I've already presented my share price forecast for the period up to and including November 25th. This ranges from 76 pence to £1, unless any information directly impacting the price emerges in the meantime. Patience.

Back to reality. The offer of £1.6 billion is, to put it mildly, controversial and underestimated. Given the current and projected revenue and net profit levels from this business line, we should begin the discussion at at least £2.1 billion. Added to this is the seller's premium – much higher than the standard 20-30%, as the buyer guarantees significant and real influence over who will be given the opportunity to acquire STUDIO (or at least a large controlling stake). The issue of payment for ITVX may also play a role here. The cash payment could be combined with the acquisition of ITV shares still held, not redeemed, but derived from the buyback. Paying this out as an extra dividend (beneficial for shareholders for tax reasons) will mean that STUDIO itself will effectively remain listed on the LSE. Ask yourselves what this means.

I think it's unlikely McCall would decide to wade into the swamp and viper's nest that is the BBC. Firstly, her current position at ITV; secondly, her age and upcoming retirement prospects; then there's important issue of her own political views (which likely means a lack of support from the current opposition, and in two years, likely those forming the new government); and then there's the time – it takes several years to clear this swamp. So, realistically, why bother and start this job? In a year or two, it'll be time to retire from ITV in glory; a position at the BBC is a guarantee of problems and political entanglement.

..the LSE. And Dame ... she rebuild this company and make strength now would she say "we lost and predators are welcome"??

Russ1983

Ha, ha, ha. Just ...only who is sell them ITV. Do you think that a big shareholders will accept any deal like this? In my opinion, they would sooner force the Dame and Board to split the company and sell it through the LSE. And Dame ... she rebuild this company and make strength nit to said "we lost and predators are welcome".

Maybe we should really come down to earth, because this place is slowly turning into another ADVFN.

Let's stop stupid speculating. Let's wait for the results of Carolyn's negotiations.Let's just sit on the couch and freeze the champagne.

And out of boredom, let's watch the mess, this stinking sh..t at the BBC now, which hopefully finally bring free speech and impartial media to this country. Because in the end, it's not just about Trump or sex scandals, but about the way the political opposition and everything that violates the political correctness imposed by the left are presented to society.

For those who think that STUDIO's £5 valuation is either a joke or foolish, let me remind you that today's benchmark valuation has realistically increased from around £3 billion to £3.3 billion. If the management's forecasts come true (and I believe they will, not by the end of 2027, but by the end of 2026, similar to the full return on investment in ITVX), this valuation will increase by at least 10-12%. So, based on this alone, we have £3.7 billion. And where's the 20-40% seller's premium??!!! This £5 billion or more didn't stem from my desire to value my 536.5k ITV shares at £2 per share. I'm by nature, and in life, rather a realist, and above all, a pessimist. I also do not want to impose my theses on anyone, suggesting that they read my conclusions and form their own opinion on the topic.

All the best ITV shareholders

And one more thing. Let's note that the earlier war in the media and advertising market, in the creators' and media products' market—all of this focused on destroying the competition by the largest internet and multimedia players. Today, the market has effectively become saturated. Potential revenue sources have practically been exhausted, and the upcoming regulations will significantly limit the possibility of external expansion. What we can already see, what will intensify, and what awaits us in the near future, is a war in this field between the largest players, who until now have divided the market among themselves, collectively destroying the competition. Against this backdrop, ITV and all its assets are a morsel that cannot be ignored. Its acquisition guarantees growth and, above all, strikes at the competition, enabling a strike against its context. So, patience. Take your seats and freeze the champagne.

I think that before 26th November we'll be trading in a range of £0.76 to £1.00. I think the Budget and the concerns surrounding it have the potential to limit demand, but they don't threaten the share price at its current level. However, any discussions about limiting price growth are merely speculation. One rumor, one piece of unconfirmed information, and we could just as easily see a price of £1.20 or £1.50. It's best to simply wait and seize the opportunity—while our financial resources allow. As for Liberty Global and the possibility of purchasing Studio—I don't consider it realistic, both due to the business profile they're currently building and their financial capabilities. In my opinion, if Studio is acquired, the final purchase price will be no less than £5 billion. What Sky is offering today, to be a realistic proposition and to cut off the competition, is at least £2.5 billion, including the group's financial liabilities. At a price of £7-7.5 billion for all of ITV, we can say that potential competitors will begin to consider the feasibility and profitability of the transaction. Anything below that represents a full return on investment, also below the market average over the next 7-10 years. Just because it's cheap today doesn't mean we, as ITV, are forced to sell all assets for peanuts, because neither the market nor the financial situation compels us to do so. And I truly suggest considering personnel matters more broadly. The Dame will retire as the winner. A successful sale of ITV's assets at a valuation at or above what she found, these 10 years of transformation – this will allow her history to be written in golden letters for a long time to come.

BigEgo

I completely agree with you about Liberty Global. This is precisely what I've discussed many times with a much smaller group of friends – investors seriously invested for a couple years in ITV shares (if a few million shares are even considered serious). And the result has always been different, sometimes strange, views but similar conclusions, sometimes supported by more than just speculation. The basic conclusion was : Liberty Global is blocking all external transformations, trying to lower the ITV share price while seeking to acquire the studio for next to nothing. At the same time, it's not blocking ITV's decision-making in the areas of development and restructuring, strengthening the current management team. Dame's stance, blocking the sale of assets before the restructuring is completed and below its value, is unacceptable from his perspective. However, he can't make broader changes to the Management Board without significant support while her work is bearing fruit, so he's waiting. We, as minority shareholders, must accept this, accumulate ITV shares, and wait to see what happens. When ITV's profits increase, Liberty Global will be forced to make a decision. Today, we can say we were right. It's foolish to believe that Mr. M. and Liberty Global will lose on this transaction. ITV has been given a chance to realistically value its business. And contrary to popular belief, this no longer has to involve selling its assets. The market has woken up, recognized the opportunity, and the competition has become fearful. Everyone realizes that the scale of ITV's operations, so inadequate to its absurd share valuation, could have a significant impact on both the European media and advertising market and on players like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney. Furthermore, the current and projected profit levels create the potential for a quick return on investment – ​​including for all types of hedge funds and private investment. This must also have an impact on the price. Time is running in ITV's favor. The potential value of the transaction should exceed the expectations of many present.

Winstanley, BigEgo, Redcain Carrington, Janus1, and many others.

Thanks for the work you do on this forum. We don't have to agree. What matters is a substantive and civilized discussion. I always say that as non-institutional shareholders, we should support each other.
