Merry Christmas all!🎄🎅

Have a superb one whatever you're doing 🤘

10,328,804 shares have now been bought back & cancelled taking shares in circulation from ~804million to ~794million now. Pretty decent progress 👌 - At current market cap of ~1.6bn I estimate the buybacks so far have lifted SP by about 2.51p. Many more buybacks yet to come 😎

Stellar performance figs... $ + USA stocks should rally significantly when wall street opens IMO 👌

Surprised they still have their shorts open tbh. Must be hurting them a great deal now, since they opened many of their open short positions between around Apr & August this year when SP was trading between ~140-170p. Surely they'll be closing up imminently?!

Given Dow Jones closed +227.79 yesterday, and futures (albeit low overnight) are now trending upwards...

I think we'll see a frantic buying end to today's session (as I think Dow J will press on with bull charge towards 50,000 pts). I'm anticipating 215p will be exceeded here today. January Ex Divis not far away now, BoE rate cut just delivered- with another cut likely on the way.

Take care not to miss out when it comes to the potential for the SP here with SSPG! Personally, I think 230p will now prove straightforward (kinda regretting having trimmed to take profits now!) and potentially the topping out of SP might occur somewhere between 250-275p in the mid-term, with £3 not being unachievable at all on the back of further rate cutting towards 2.75-3% here in UK towards end of 2026 (I think there will be more cuts than currently forecasted).

I'm more confident than ever my accumulating strategy here with SSPG will pay out rather nicely! DYOR - IMO

Dow J currently +272.00, FTSE 100 imminently about to turn positive, FTSE 250 +22.51...

It's looking as though the rally over in USA will continue after trading in London comes to a close. Should be seeing a nice rise here tomorrow morning!

YTeeBack - tbf... Dow Jones does look like it's forming into a bull run nicely! I'm sure it'll spill over into all FTSE Indices but whether it supports CPI or not is a different questions, as it's nearly half 3 and only ~150 trades!

USA Markets appearing in fair spirits! Looking promising IMO

USA Futures markets are looking relatively buoyant, irrespective of the media articles on 'AI Bubble fears'... Should their session open strongly then we could potentially be seeing 220p+ here sooner than anticipated, perhaps!

The trend graphs here don't appear to yet be indicating potential for a trend reversal here for SSPG (something I previously thought would be likely to develop), and instead it's now beginning to look as though this stock may have only been taking a pause following the recent steep climb.

Very strong US performance today could easily lead FTSE 100 index to climb above that critical 10,000 points threshold, after all it's currently sitting at 9,855 (~42pts down). If that occurs I'd imagine the 250 index could rise up very nicely indeed.

376p IMO

Trisor - It is True that I could have made money on CPI (as I could have bought in when it dropped to 12.5-13.5p in old money (187.5p-202.5p in old money) - It's definitely the case I'd have seen a massive rise had I bought in. However, do I really think CPI is worth more today than it was back then when the SP was trading around in that low range?...

Nope, I do not and that's because since then the business has become smaller, with lower annual revenues, falling sales and many large outgoing costs.

For me personally CPI didn't fulfil the criteria I was looking for in terms of an investment stock to buy into heavily. Sure, it's a trading stock with big swings, some will make very good money from CPI. However, I shall remain sitting on the sidelines because I still think CPI has a troubled road lying ahead of it. Time will tell when FY2025 results land on the RND feed around March 2025.

DYOR - IMO

Entirely sensible AimMaster2018 - After all there's plenty of opportunities out there all of the time! Have a superb Christmas break!

One Contract Renewal RNS - far too much jubilation IMV...

Given renewals are much easier to secure than new business I think CPI holders and buyers are getting way ahead of themselves here.

What CPI needs to do to turn things around is this:

1. Win big when it comes to new business - (I don't think this is happening based on H12025 & FY2024 financials - sales were markedly down)

2. Not lose renewal opportunities - (doing better here at long last).

3. Cut running costs - CPI opening new offices! - (This approach makes little to no sense at all, with so many remote working options these days)

4. Cut overall staff numbers through becoming more efficient in operations - (Still 34k employees, for a business now much smaller the ratio is completely out of proportion now)

5. Close down the loss making parts of the business - (Progress has been made here)

Total Score: 2/5 - IMO not sufficient enough to be called a turnaround by a long way yet. DYOR

I see the 🤖 Avocet is posting again, fortunately I green boxed them long ago so I can't read the nonsense! Probably predicting £1 a share for SSPG - if they are a real person (I don't think they are as normally they copy + paste other users content) then I so hope they stayed short on SSPG and felt some fiscal pain here!

AimMaster2018 - Makes sense you closed your leveraged long (presume that's what you went for with your trade here?) - FWIW I think you'll be missing out, as I'm reckoning with the buy backs in flight this stock has upside potential to as much as ~£2.75 over the months ahead. Though appreciate you're likely only interested in the short term swings of SP, than any mid-term potential. I remain heavily invested here, only one small trim made so far - then again my strategy on this is completely different to yours Aim 👍

I imagine the late trading session today will get really interesting, as folks settle up to close up shop for the Christmas break. Really interesting GLG still have their short open, I was expecting that to have closed out by now! Will we see an RNS later on today I wonder?

GLA - DYOR

Most welcome AimMaster2018 👌 - I took some profits today, though still have a large stake invested & I'm expecting the SP will continue rising.

The buying pressure has been even greater than I'd forecasted for 📈 - Happy Days 🎄🎅

This rise certainly has a spring in its step! I might just regret having unloaded a tranche. Still, profit is profit after all!

Valueinvested - I'm invested here but just wish to point out (for clarity/transparency purposes) that yes, there were v.chunky director buys... However, there were also RNS's related to director share sales too (stated for taxation purposes - which is normal tbf). So it's not quite so straight forward as may meet the eye.

I agree with your sentiment though, this is a great business and stock to be invested in. Personally, I'm remaining invested for the foreseeable here.

DYOR - IMO
