Cheers Eightyeight88 - still time to buy into SSPG if you're able?

CHELMOCHASER - respectfully disagree CPI will shoot upwards to £9. Not cheap enough IMO. I reckon revenues for FY2025 will fall below £2bn and for a business with 34,000 employees and which is failing to make enough sales I think things may begin to unravel for CPI. DYOR - All IMO

I considered CPI as an investment stock but after pouring over the financials I decided to steer well clear!

I doubt Avocet123 went short on this stock tbh... they're likely already sitting on their big losses on VOD, EZJ & CPI - as they frequently try ramping those stocks because I think they bought in at high prices on them (CPI is awful - VOD a very long term slow growth play and EZJ currently overvalued IMO but again a long term play - none of them fast growth stocks like SSPG - IMO).

Levantic - if you take a look over their posts many of them are either copy + pastes or just a line or two of garbage with no sources of evidence ever being put forwards by the 🤖 ever.

Levantic - Completely valid points you raise there. Few factors I think may have been combining to have depressed SP here:

1. Chancellor scared some investors into selling parts (or even all) of their share portfolios off. Additionally, UK equities have broadly struggled for a while (USA ones seemingly favoured by many atm) and SSPG won't be immune to the wider 'lack of enthusiasm for London listed stocks'.

2. Some invested here may have been overcommitted up at higher SP's, and might have been driven into unloading by these large & numerous short positions, which have been pretty relentless on this stock for a long time period now.

3. Fears of buyers who've perhaps not seen enough direct action by the BOD's of SSPG to reward holders (I think this is resolved by today's RNS results with these BOD commitments). Plus the wider macroeconomic demand fears in western economies (I saw SSPG as a big growth stock bucking that trend but many will have been rattled).

4. The final one is debt, lots of fear narratives about any business with large debts. Now I see debt as good, when the conditions are right of course (i.e. robust strategy to manage the debt). However, many out there had a bout of 'debt purism (any debt = oh my god any business with debt is doomed - which is of course complete nonsense).

My thoughts, feel free to share yours if you have other ideas!

DYOR - IMO

Sundezena - Given you purchased apple stock so low, what did you sell it for?

Eightyeight88 - So long ago and so much has happened since I sold VOD that I'd forgotten the exact SP. Checked it out, and seems you're correct, it was ~72p tbf. Nice amount of profit nonetheless 👌

Only a single, and much smaller too, SSPG buy up in the ~187p range. I've many more buys of that stock and all of them at much lower prices too. Top riser on the FYSE250 today have you seen? 📈😎👌

Nice one Carrington & whilst we haven't always agreed on outkook for other stocks I don't think we've been that out of alignment with our view on this one? - Validated today of course👌📈

I definitely could have made more money here, from buying up some more down in the recent 140p's. However, I'm doing rather nicely nonetheless, and lately I've wanted to keep a larger cash buffer than normal to ensure I'm able to take advantage of unfolding opportunities on the wider market, and ensure pesky shorters cannot get one over me too 👌😎

100egs spotted it now that it's the top FTSE 250 riser by any chance?

You banked your profits Carrington? - I'm still holding as bound to net £2.30p here over mid term and perhaps higher upto £3. Expecting to do very well from this stock indeed😎👌

So hoping Avocet123 was short here 🤞🤣

Nice one AimMaster2018 👍

Plenty to like in these results today!

Eightyeight88 - Well remembered there, appears I did indeed unload VOD a little earlier than I'd claimed in my post earlier today. Fair doos, seems VOD has risen up a little more than I'd thought. Cheers for pointing that one out.

"We aren’t a million miles away from better times" - Heard this one before 🤔

GLA - I have opted to save my powder for another day - These past weeks my buying range has not come into play, so I've opted to stick by what I'd originally planned for. DYOR

What do others reckon the COP SP will be tomorrow?

Good luck with that one haha, as Aim and I are completely different ppl!

Some on here have far too many ponderings of imaginary grandiose conspiracies.

Sundezena - Perhaps SqueezyJet has their flaps set to wrong position for takeoff today?

Scotty277 - I did well from BT - Bought ~104p, sold ~150p -I didn't miss out on anything - it's a big market out there, with many opportunities.

Primetime51 - Are you currently sat on a loss here with your EZJ holdings? Or you in profit at the minute? - Just curious

I can believe it. Just look at those revenues & profits plunge from 2015-2024 (HY only atm for 2025), and how the expenses and costs remain elevated in comparison throughout: https://simplywall.st/stocks/gb/commercial-services/lse-cpi/capita-shares/past

I'm just sharing my honest view that CPI is a struggling business; previously I've referred to CPI's own financial data when deriving my forecasts from, I shared my FY2024 forecast to open it to challenge on here... then when the figs landed I was very close! Hoping the update soon will help me to refine my Revenue FY2025 forecast but I remain of the view it's going to be a difficult one for CPI.

DYOR - IMO
