Blimey, PI_Winner - there's so much doom, gloom and uncertainty around at the moment that it's good to hear of someone doing well. Surely all are entitled to post whatever they want here so long as it's relevant. It's also extremely unfair to suggest that MaryBr190 doesn't offer any insight - cf, eg, her post under the "The move to NASDAQ" thread on this Ocado board.
This is the 'calibre' of people running this appalling ****show - crying about "corporate bullying" from the media!
They will not admit the abject failure of their puerile rebranding, and this company (and its share price) will do nothing until they face the facts, admit the egg has run down their faces and solidified into a putrid mass and grow up.

'“I know there’s been a lot of focus externally on our shareholders (Ocado Group and M&S) but I am just 100% focused on running the business, improving the proposition for our customers,” she said.'

"In a report circulated to clients, [Institutional Shareholder Services] identified the company’s remuneration as a 'high concern', which it said was 'exacerbated by the shareholder experience, with no dividend and a general decline in the company’s share price over the past few years'."
Not to mention the share price being batted up and down like an emerging market stock.
Still only a third of their shorts this time last year. Probably no big deal, just a shifting of some resources.
Can't disagree with one of the respondents to that Twitter/X ad:
"Motor Insurance is compulsory in the U.K. .. no way should insurers be allowed to profit from this mandated 3rd party cover .. shameful that you are rocketing prices ( claiming high repair costs) and yet continue to post record profits .."
"Resilient trading in challenging times is exec speak for we’re doing c.rap."
Pretty much exactly what XPP execs were saying for months prior to their precipitous collapse in September-October. It wouldn't surprise me if IBST was in the same boat.
