Yes but alway leave some dry powder to buy more if they go down more.

This has been dragged down with rest of the market.

FirstGroup plc has successfully completed its £115m share buyback program, purchasing a total of 71,200,278 shares and signaling a strong financial position with the capability to further invest in decarbonization and shareholder returns. This follows a previous £75m buyback scheme, with both programs acquiring over 135 million shares, underscoring the company’s commitment to growth and a progressive dividend policy. FirstGroup’s robust balance sheet and business performance maintain the option for additional capital returns, as assessed by the Board.

Rayvon68-The flight is with BA and same hotle. In another word same holiday . One day before BA were charging same price . In one day they increase by 25% while other travel agent is still charging nearly same amount. Looks like BA doesn't want direct trade?

On BA website package holidays in one day they increased price by 25%. Yet I can book same holiday including same flights and hotel at 25% cheaper on other website (ie they have not increased.)

No reason why FGP should go down. It is just sale and think later.

MaryBr - Very few investors can do that. Need a lots of luck to do that. Well done

Yes, good rise for FGP. More electric buses bought with help of Dft and local council grants

Leicest to have all electric buses and solar panels. Also Yorkshire and more........depots to go full electric and have solar panels.

Whole market is up and possibly of last few day of buy backs

Sipj - Have sold half. So keeping legs on both sides.

Sipj. Is Martin is jumping the sinking ship? He knows what's coming. Also no news on future buyback or information on how Labour policy's going to effect profits.

I never have stop losses or buy (trade planes) I have from few experience. Best way is to set price alerts ( Best app I have found is Investing. Com.) and than you can decide what to do.

Once buyback ends SP will go down unless they announce another buyback.

From history First are not able to complete on contract. They have not been able to run in London or Manchester. Hopefully it's in partnership they might do slightly better.

Would have never thought this would be going up when Labour said they were going to privatise railway and dive power for Mayor to take control of busses.

Surprised, Surprised SP still going up. Looks like institutional investors know Labour will not be able to do what they said or water down.

Leicester Mayor has previously said he wanted to take control of busses but has not said anything recently. Is it because he knows council don't have any money?

They will eventually lose train franchise and as with busses council don't have to buy. They will run like tfl by giving contact. First can't compete on contacts.

Otherwise SP would have gone down.

Sipj- Yepp they don't have money to buy . They have already started the process and said will take 12 to 18 months just to see how and what options they have but want to take rail into public ownership. Are they trying to please unions so they cooperate. Market/large investors know it will not be possible to run public transport without private companies.
