Running to stand still. More ugly exceptionally which in reality are business as usual.

Also holds a lot of cash. For what purpose?

Maybe. But it is the Volex shareholders who should put up the cash, and not pass the execution risk to TT's shareholders.

UKW has very much weakened its equity base by aggressively buying back its shares and paying generous divis. The bill has now arrived in a collapsing SP. Surely it should have been using its spare resources to invest in what is a growing industry.

CMA will block this, hence SP well below offer price. It is now in nomansland, split between falling back or going up waiting to see if somebody else steps in or not.

Should you believe the SP of Diageo is depressed, suggest you buy them rather than LTI, more especially if you think the Donald will spare the Scotch industry his tariffs.

Another disappointing update.

Butt why is it below?

Typical BoD. Blame the poor bloody infantry.

A bit rich coming from a supermarket who have been screwing farmers for years.

Coz of more ugly extraordinary items, which are not extraordinary but an ongoing cost of business from poor decisions, plus big cash outflow, some of which self inflicted from buying back shares.

There are lots of wrecks in the financial services industry. They cannot keep up with the US big boys and their cheap trackers. Even LGEN struggles to compete in the tracker market, despite being the first mover in the UK.

But perhaps pain just postponed, as HMG always comes back for more. Gambling taxes will be an obvious target.

The lenders and pension fund are still in control. MCB needs to diversify its debt both in terms of lenders and repayment profile.

Buybacks should be stopped now.

The whole country is now run by our learn’d friends, none of whom have or could run a whelk store.

Loans and deposits are static, but costs are up. Not a recipe for growth.

Basket case.

Latest BoD RNS is classic 'WTF is going on'. It is they and the business that are untenable, not the bid.

HDS don’t trade on the Oz market. However coz they do trade on the NYSE, perhaps they will transfer your shares to the Register there. Ask them.
