Depends what you paid for them and what your aims are. I think they'll climb tomorrow, as markets less nervous re Trump decision.

There's a question. 12 month forecasts have it at 250 high. I'll 'guess' once it goes xd. But I can't see it falling back below 215 now. Unless Labour's Heidi Alexander gets antsy about fgp doing so well from open access. It wouldn't surprise me. They hate to see private profit, esp' from the likes of private run public transport.

So in short. I don't really know. Lol. Just holding and watching for now, as I don't expect much of a fall xd.

Started buyback. Lowest 220. That puts a floor under it, barring ww3 starting.

Bummer. I was hoping to get a bunch more on the cheap below 220. 😁

I don't know where the board will buy back, but I will sub 220. I think 215 is definitely possible. Maybe lower.

Why buy back at these heights? I suspect buy back will be on lows, following ex dividend.

They have until 10 June 2026 to complete it. There's no rush.

Not if one doesn't use it.

Like I said, I'm here only for the sp. I don't care about the ride; other than when providing the ride makes for a healthy sp.

So what? I'm here for the SP, not the ride. 😏

Looks like being a good coming year for FGP.

Chancellor to announce £15bn for transport projects today.

"Billions of pounds of investment in transport infrastructure in England are set to be announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Wednesday."

Every little helps, -- First. 😉.

this is interesting.

Looks to me like the sp has more in it.

I'm holding, for now. It should be an interesting remainder of the week ahead.

South Western Railway now renationalised.

Has been on the cards, so no surprise there. But will the SP fall anyway because of it?

Sp buoyant today.

New partnership.

Loss making anyway. So arguably, no loss anyway.

Sp doing well this week.

Why?

Should have, could have, sold recently, just before the 50 million company share buyback scheme ended, 21st March. It reached 184p. Then bought back at circa 146 ish, courtesy of POTUS. That would have been a very nice move.

Should be north of £2.00? What's going to drive it there? Mid 180s is still realistic though, with further dips back below 160 very likely, providing more opportunities to dip in and out again.

Buy back completed, was the buyback spend, the only thing keeping the sp going up?

If Firstgroup are potentially losing some control over their operations in this region, why has the SP been rising so strongly recently?

Why not a fall instead of the share price increases?

And down again. 😉
