Hi Kern,
I have a horrible suspicion that the markets believe that there is going to be little of note in the interims. A big loan and cash burn are a concern that could see this drop like a stone. Another undisclosed sum from a contract is not going to cut it !
I’m not invested here so would hate to offer any advice on whether to bail ! A few days will tell a tale..
Thankyou all for your comments. Will keep watching for now. The market in general is in the doldrums which isn’t helping.. g.l.
Been watching this for quite a while and very nearly bought on the last spike thinking that it had turned a corner but seem to have had a lucky escape…any musings as to what is going to change Chill’s fortunes?
Notably, Aviva continued its upward trajectory with a 0.24% rise, following the company's interim results earlier in the week.
Further bolstering Aviva's stock value was a recommendation from broker Berenberg, which adjusted its target price for the company from 481p to a promising 493p, implying a substantial growth potential from its current position.
Hi Kern, Keep looking in but still out..it’s certainly a slow burner and as you so rightly point out news is very scarce. Just sitting back and nursing my summer losses access the board. Doing virtually no buying or selling at the moment but instead just drip feeding into stocks and share ISA’s. Hope you are well. It’s just seems to be one step forward and two steps back…
I have a few trusts which include Baillie Gifford which I drip feed into but not sure who is running the BG funds as they are a disaster. My other companies are doing reasonably well. Will probably sell the BG and cut my losses.
Chid…I agree. The pi never wins with a buyback. If a company is well run the sp should increase accordingly regardless of a buyback. It is deemed by many commentators as a lazy way for companies to spend excess cash and make it look as though they are doing something ! That debacle a couple of years ago by Aviva was sold as money from heaven but left the pi no better off as well. The company is in a good position but the sp unfortunately is treading water.
