RE: 2 months at these levels. Will it ever bounce?20 May 2023 17:54
Paddyboy, I shared your sentiment when I invested here. As my username suggests, I expected a quick dip, but this is turning out to be a long soak. Anyway, let me flip the question back to you: What could change to get the SP moving up here? Everything that could’ve done so has already been announced. I think if anything was brewing, we’d have seen an RNS now. Which brings us back to why no director buys?
In terms of what’s changed from 18 months ago. Coming out of covid, everyone just expected the business to automatically go back to £4, so we’re piling in. Then there was a stagecoach merger agreed right at the peak, the SP started sliding back down when stagecoach pulled out.
Having been in this for 3 months, with no director buys, nothing else left in the bag to tempt the city to buy, this share is losing its appeal each and every day, and I think the SP will head down further with no more good news to prop it up.
I’m going to keep 10% of my holding here just in case it does go up, but I really don’t see what could trigger a change in market sentiment here. Usually, it’s clear what is holding shares down but I don’t know here. Perhaps something overseas with Alsa/US business that the analysts know about, but isn’t reported in uk media?
