Looking at the daily value of a stock through the prism of price and ignoring the turnover that shapes it is a big mistake. Especially when we ignore strange and multimillion-shares transactions without considering what they are most likely for. In addition, forgetting that in a few months the value of shares increased from the minimum by over 40% (plus dividend) is also a mistake. Some of the shares fell into random hands at that time, some were bought only for the dividend - and they simply need to be picked up by long-term players at a reasonable price and so as not to appear at higher levels, creating an additional supply of shares and a much larger and more expensive effort to acquire them. These are the basic principles, of course, if you believe in the growth potential of ITV shares significantly above today's valuation. Well, non-believers should only sell their ITV shares and watch their price. The question remains whether they will have the courage to risk the purchase again after the price exceeds by several dozen percent the level at which they exited the investment.

The current artificial suppression of the ITV share price at minimum levels once again only serves to accumulate shares by large players. However, it is healthy for the share price in the long term. It clears the market of undecided investors, giving some of them a chance to make profits and hope for cheaper purchases in the future. Everyone else has a chance for a solid increase in the value of the shares and, in this case, at least a doubling of the current valuation. The driving force behind the share price increase are not small investors, but large institutional investors, aggressive growth funds and index funds, which after a period of absence must return to share in ITV's capital. ITV is a systemic company, with large share capital, good liquidity and currently with rapidly growing prospects for value growth that cannot be ignored. In addition, the company has undergone rapid modernization, rebuilt its financial structure and is practically just entering the stage of visible benefits resulting from this. Whether we like it or not, such investments are not ignored.

Announcement of investment in ITVBoxX wasn't only one of the reasons for the price drop to 90p. More important were the uncertainty about the company's future revenues from the advertising market, the Pension Found deficit, the impending exclusion of ITV from the FTSE100 index due to the price drop, and speculative short positions opened on ITV shares.

Today the situation has been reversed. ITVX turned out to be profitable, the Pension Fund has a healthy balance sheet, operating income shows stabilization and growth progression, the company ensures a constant dividend payment, the increase in the price indicates the possibility of the company's return to the FTSE100 index, and at least most of the open and visible short positions seem to support the purchased market share package. In the meantime, a large, aggressive investment fund appeared in the company with a package of 5% of shares, and ITV itself began to buy back its own shares at the level of 5 to 8% of the total share capital. In addition, the economic prospects of the entire UK economy seem to be getting better with the upcoming interest rate cut. Therefore, it is best to simply wait a little longer and use the time to buy still cheap shares with a growth potential of over 100%.

Is this the reason for our correction in ITV shares yesterday? I don't think so, but always nice to find any chance to "squeezing lemon".

"Reality stars charged for promoting sham trading scheme. A horde of reality TV stars have been charged by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for promoting an unauthorised foreign exchange trading scheme via Instagram. Geordie Shore's Scott Timlin, multiple The Only Way is Essex stars and Love Island contestants such as Rebecca Gormley and Eva Zapico were all found to have been involved in the scheme. The FCA charged Emmanuel Nwanze for running an unauthorised investment programme which saw advice given on buying and selling contracts for difference, which it was not permitted to do. The 'fiinfluencers' were accused of promoting the Instagram account which issued the unauthorised advice and will stand before Westminster's Magistrate Court in June."

To think about..:

The holders of the real short positions on ITV shares may be a little surprised when buybacks come back into play.

Small little Russian troll still trying to make a rubbish on this forum.... However, he/she/it no longer recommends investing in Shell shares ... after a 5% loss since the last buy recommendation on May 13th. The "troll" job means also encourages wonderful investments at the expense of ITV sales. Bringing others to the level of thinking of an idiot, which we represent ourselves, is typical of trolls.

Accepting Kretinsky's offer will be a proverbial "shot in the foot" on IDS's part. It also calls into question the possibility of limiting the scope of mandatory services and the entire activity of Royal Mail. The new investor will suck valuable assets out of the company, leaving the rest at the mercy of the government. So in the future we will have to assume either the collapse of this remnant of Royal Mail or its costly re-nationalization and its future long-term deficits financed by taxpayers. On the other hand, IDS will introduce competition to the British courier services market, giving it access to both extensive infrastructure and, more importantly, to the database of the largest customers. And it's not just about domestic shipments within the UK, but also about the most profitable international shipments for the company. Well, probably as a result of this, in a few years IDS will disappear from the market and its most valuable content will be taken over by Mr. Kretinsky.

Personally, I hope that these threats as well as national security issues are recognized by the Government and Parliament by blocking this transaction. Even if the next owner of the office at 10 Downing Street will be the Labor Party, which supports re-privatization, it must be remembered that they will have to find funds to save the remains of Royal Mail, jobs, and long-term subsidies for its services. Today, the only reasonable option seems to be the option of limiting the scope of mandatory basic services and blocking the takeover of IDS, with the option of forcing Kretinsky to sell its shares or limiting the scope of his voting rights.

And now some of my speculations. It's 12 o'clock and we have over 5.5 million shares volume with up to + 0.5% price increase. If my intuition is correct, all this fun game from the last two weeks will generate a strong 2-3 session increase of 12-20% in the next few days. This is just speculation. Let's wait and see how wrong I am.

Another article confirming the facts and intended to build the basis for strong shares price growth.

The stock market anticipates the future.

You are wrong if you assume that FTSE100 index funds will start buying shares after the decision to return ITV to the index is announced and not anticipating such a situation in advance. If we look back, ITV's move from the FTSE 100 to the FTSE 250 generated at least a 15-20% drop in the share price.

We have currently a similar growth situation on the full share market of companies that will benefit from a drop in interest rates, those that pay regular dividends and those whose revenues are directly proportional to the economic growth generated by the UK economy. Please look at the behavior of shares price of companies in several sensitive sectors, as well as companies that meet the criteria of financial growth and are just not trying to survive on the market.

If we look at the long-term chart of the ITV share price, the minimum growth range should reach at least the previous maximum of around £2.6. Assuming a rapid rebound potential, the level of £1.6 should be reached relatively quickly. All this technical growth coincides with my forecasts of an increase in generated revenues and profits, a decline in inflation combined with an increase in consumer spending, the size of the dividend, a return to the FTSE100 index and many others that I mentioned earlier (as well as the upward trend created on the charts). This creates a very good atmosphere for the share price to increase. Possible disruptions on the external market, independent of the company, may only slightly slow down this process.

And one thing is worth emphasizing. We owe this to the current management of the company. Many people do not know or do not want to remember the financial condition of the current CEO when she joined the company. Where ITV was on a fast track to collapse and liquidation. Having an outdated financial structure, falling revenues and market shares, huge debt and a similarly huge deficit in the Pension Fund. The changes required painful cuts and the support of the largest shareholders. They have been conducted and they pass the exam. Therefore, you would have to be a real idiot not to understand the current position of the CEO in the company and the fact that it is the guarantor of the increase in the value of this business, and therefore the dividend paid to shareholders and the stable increase in the value of shares. And when the market notices this, the value of ITV shares will reach a valuation level adequate to both the value of its assets and future profits.

Let me know why I am not suppressed.

Next technical stop should be in 88-95 area., but you're never know is it worth to try take a chance....

Not so happy to reinvest my divi over £0.85 but it's still make a sense if I look at my predictions. They are still same: £1.2-1.5 end of this year, £2-3 end of 2025., but will be not suppressed to see £2 this year.

I like "squeezing lemons" but I am always happy to be on the good site of the market if it means for my portfolio's investment buying uphill in the growth market of the shares I own with increasing volume and not through arranged transactions.

And this is regardless of whether the closing turns out to be lower or higher than today's maximum price of 79.10. With a bit of malice, I greet all those waiting for the correction, who have already managed to empty their portfolio of ITV shares, at least partially.

Even the word "idiot" is not able to fully describe the situation and this person.

And for now, ITV is £0.785, which with the annual divi gives us a new annual maximum of £0.835. And I'm not happy about it at all, considering the next week's investment. We'll see how the week ends.

Lack of understanding of the principles of investing in the growth market of selected shares, the behavior of large institutional investors and their strategies, and the use of various financial instruments for this purpose - this is the mistake of many people present here. The fact that they do not listen to others can be considered rational. But this knowledge can be supplemented quite easily, which, as you can see, is not the case. Well, some people prefer to learn by watching their wallets. Although "learning" is not synonymous with "drawing conclusions". Even when it hurts.

As you can easily predict, as the ITV share price increases, there will be less and less troll named WimbledonTom on this forum. However, this does not mean that we will rest from his idiotic and sometimes arrogant comments. There is more and more of the same troll's accounts in his multi-account stable. Fortunately an intelligent reader does not need to use AI to understand who is who.

Many people on this forum treat investing in the stock exchange as an ordinary game. Then, when comparing the state of their portfolio, they are surprised by the incurred losses, profits below the average index change or extraordinary growth of companies they once owned. They look for culprits around them without any doubts about their own professionalism. However, the ability to press the "buy" or "sell" button does not prove that you understand the rules of this game, but only that you are able to participate in it. It's something like an experiment from a few years ago with a monkey who, as an investor, exceeded the profits of professionals in a few selected months. However, when she began to suffer losses, she was quickly forgotten.

As I can see the troll with new multiple accounts are back again .....

On the ITV shares market we have again "squeezing lemons" game, and on the forum multi account discussion. As you can see, the troll's belief that someone is stupider than him is still underestimated.

Because of this (6 upward stock market sessions) as same as because of my divi payment is next Thursday and I will be very happy to make another good investment under the price of £0.85 pence - I will be welcome any slow down in this shares growing up price. I hope that that what I expecting - a sharp increase in the share price over 15-% in two-three days time, will not be happened before my re-investment.

If will be taking about feeling at the end of the day 78.29 is as likely as 79.50. It is worth observing that there are new players who want to make money on the opportunity.

Reading some of the posts, I come to the conclusion that being a troll must be very stressful. It's strange, because stupidity apparently doesn't hurt the person it concerns.

If we are back to ITV, after 6 upward stock market sessions, we could use a moment of correction and rest, but not necessarily when this is what most small speculative investors assume. Each correction is an opportunity to make cheaper purchases, and uncertainty allows you to achieve your goals.

All my free float money will be now incested in to ITV.

We will back to this discussion on the end of November 2024.
