Why did it go up well past 180 last week, and why has it fallen back again today?

Big jump last few days. Fall back again before full year?

Why has the sp dropped to the current price, from circa 180, which it reached twice quite recently?

Fgp has a very nice 1 year chart.

Is this soon to make a new high I wonder?

This is definitely ticking up again. Steady buying. Don't think it's all buy back either.

Ticking up?

How far is it likely to drop? Far enough to be cheap again?

SP now falling as sharply as it rose. Buy back continues.

Why such a *sharp* fall?

FGP Still buying their own this morning.

Buy back continues.

Seems to be a reaction to pwnsion loss announcement.

Share price drops, despite, ------

--- Buy back continuing this morning.

Plus interims report increase in profit, and dividend. So why SP drop?

Right, thanks.

Will those shares become treasury or will they be cancelled? If cancelled, how will that/will that, effect the share price?

It took 10 years to turn it around. Quite a change for those who waited, or bought wisely.

"First Group Share Price Plunges & No Dividend "

--- "Shares in FirstGroup have plunged 26% after it announced a £615m rights issue in a bid to reduce its debt and said profit had plummeted. The firm, which has extensive rail and bus operations in the UK as well as a bus business in the US, said pre-tax profit had plunged 86.7% to £37.2m. FirstGroup also said Martin Gilbert, who has chaired the firm for 27 years, would be standing down."

Question is, --- how high can it go?

So several positive factors driving the sp higher. Hitachi is a good move, as their battery tech' is cutting edge, and they're alrrady involved in other UK and European transport initiatives.

Are interim results due? Could sp rise be due to a dividend announcement?
