Well it will move sharply on the day that's for sure. It's just a matter of wether that will be up or down? Personally, I'm nervous, as the debt on the Balance Sheet is horrid and it's now come back to bite Ocado. It needs reducing fast; which they 'may' have addressed. We had better hope it has!

It does feel a bit binary, at this stage though. . . . ATB 🤥

Wow - Yet another 3% shed. Seems that a fair few simply don't want to risk waiting until Thursday.

This is definitely 'Squeeky Bum' time folks; but nobody knows, until they tell us next week. . . . . ATB

And before anyone has a pop at me and to be very clear here; by that I mean, that clearly "no benefit of the doubt" is being afforded to Ocado by the Market.

It's waiting and saying 'prove it' next week Ocado - then we will let this share run back up to £3+. . .

Given that the FTSE overall, is now up by 8.66% in 6 months, compared to Ocado which is down 11.15%, the Market clearly thinks that they won't have addressed those key issues. I for one, very much hope that they are proven wrong, as it might get a bit messy!

Investors Chronicle last published article on Ocado - dated 27th February 2025:-

The 'issues' raised are still what next weeks update MUST be seen to have addressed. It is vital that they key points raised by Investors Chronicle are seen to, at the very least, be heading in a better direction. So, let's hope that this time, they finally 'over-deliver' on their promises. . . .

£1.68p close. NICE!

😲

Good Grief. Have you seen their ages!!

PS. Next Thursday WILL be more important than perhaps it SHOULD be, in my opinion. I sincerely hope that both the words and the numbers, are enough to satisfy the key Investors out there (which ain't us lot!); then we can maybe start to see some shoots of recovery, after a torrid five years of declines (sorry but I can't put a gloss on -87.92%).

we shall see. . .

Qantas - it seems to me that with a share performing as badly as this, 'issues' need to be discussed. There is a reason why the Market is ticking this down so much - and presumably why there are so many major Institutions shorting this company, come to that. Of course views here are likely to bit a bit negative, but that cannot be avoided, given where this share finds itself. I am happy to read all views and opinions and feel that people should not be criticised for viewing theirs. We need folk here who have opinions and the balls to express them without fear of being personally attacked; otherwise this Board becomes as lame as the Ocado share price!! Let's just be a bit more tolerant of others and what they think eh!?

Boyobach - ordinarily I'd agree, but this is so desperate for 'uplifting' news that I feel the Interims will assume more importance than normal. Also, though I am a very big believer in technicals, I'm again not so sure how applicable they are, to this share at the moment. I just don't see how we get out of this negative trend; so I'm just hoping that the results next week, will be the catalyst! Can but Hope!

Just to add that the FTSE Futures are showing as +47 points, so we 'should' have a reasonable day today. 🤞

This share needs a rocket inserted into its Balance Sheet and then lit! It should not be such a struggle this close to the Interims. They had better be good or we will be in a spot of bother. . as if we aren't already at £2.35. 😲😫🫣

Oh OK well spotted! I'd be minded to go with their web-site date then. Either way, I see further gains today too. . .ATB

Up 2.3p is not exactly 'hammering up'! Well, not to me anyway; up 23p then maybe. . .

Merciaman - 'Interims' are on 31st July and I see this moving up, as we approach that date myself. . . ATB

Given where we are with the SC ruling being so imminent, I personally thought that the timing of the RNS was surprisingly poor; and that the content was surprisingly vague. Not like Close Brothers at all. It has created a lot of uncertainty here and we know what the wider market thinks of uncertainty . . .

I suspected that the Market would not like that RNS. . . .
