Me12345 - Not sure how the reshuffle works but the Hang Seng rallied 7.7% last week, the biggest monthly gain since 1999. This translate into AUM rising steadily in ASIA, they should then get paid handsomely in fees, as a result, they should be entitled to a comeback into ftse 100 soon once their valuation permit re-entry. Assuming all other things are equal.

The reversal started on 13 October when they took out the 2009 low and created a double bottom in the shares, the share are under extreme accumulation since mid-September last month and has closed positive every day since then is this a potential stakebuilding? or a hedge fund that is getting very tanned?

The shorts are getting thoroughly spanked above £ 2.01 and a potential relief rally could be on the horizon

Badland,robdon - After yesterday's USA lead massive rally expect some correction how far is anyone guess

lunatic > one would think so, that's why the shareholders have voted them to be a member of the BOD in the first place

katenip - It works both ways buybacks reduce the cake size but increase the size of each slice being handed out thus any future dividend increases have a bigger effect let's see how well the integration of II goes and maybe it starts turning out a bigger revenue earner than Abrdn on its own?

Carl = Scandinavian are the Anglo-Saxons, not foreigners too? or did they just come onboard and settled in what is it? you can't have it both ways Carltt.

Big Blue > you are spot on by the way the Energy crisis in the EU is likely to spark a demolition of the whole EU

GazzleB > Thanks for the heads up 10-20% it's a great start it only leaves 90-80 % to attract in case of a hostile battle. if you get my idea although why amazon has not moved yet is mind-boggling all these outlets for their deliveries come on its ats a win-win scenario with their every last-mile delivery cost! think out loud how much they could save on fuel and delivery costs it's just insane to think it's not going to happen in some shape or another form it's inevitable in my opinion

skier1 - I agree have aired this since the summer especially now that the pound is getting kicked down the aisle any perpetrator incl Silchester/Amazon would have an extra discount basket to shop with getting discounted value of the pound as a currency hedge stake in the company.

Skier/Vulture1/55555 > Come on let us use the grey matter between our ears here all that 'free' space in the 'mega stores' in terms of ceiling height is nothing more than golden space for basically additional space for further expansion opportunities into saying the 2nd floor for other areas for sales outside peak shopping hours when the car park is otherwise less occupied even though it is already large to cater for the 'normal' peak day to day shopping traffic. Tesco could become a hub for say Amazon deliveries instead of the last 1-mile home delivery depots amazon are building if they together used the spare space in the existing Tesco stores not only would you be able o pick up your daily groceries but anything on order would be waiting to be collected while in the store anyway, it's a win-win for both companies and convenience for the customer no longer has to rely on/bother his/her next door neighbour for deliveries and not to mention the saved fuel delivery cost on the environment! or you could also add it to your home delivery service which has expanded aggressively due to the pandemic anyone reading this you heard it here first-time DYOR IMOO

Dartron,

I fully agree the results were not what was hoped for too many legacy issues still draining the profit pot.

''Nothing here for investors, its not run to make shareholders money.''

I think the majority of top shareholders incl Steven would disagree with the above statement they are the ones who are able to pull the ropes behind the sails (without their support/approvals) they would not have been able to stir the ship and make the headway changes already in place and without the new and old management teams returning to the board in place.

SFH300 - I Share your grief and i posted the the following last night to another delusional shareholder for better or worse: ''Stephanie serving as CFO knows something is heading abrdn's way maybe they got their teeth into a nice of piece of Chinese business as the bird has landed there many a times and is well traveled in that region of the world from his past experience. Yes the SP has tanked because of short sellers it's gone up steady 10 x in the past year from 0.5% to the current short position at 4.59% - the drivel that is posted in the media/times is orchestrated by the same short position holders to gain support for their manipulative actions it's clear as daylight. So 'Tartshagger' better keep your ammo for another bird ;-)

AngerSharkz agree 100 % Greg digging in at these levels is a great sign of conviction and a reason why this is not the time to considering bailing out just look at his track record running this house the share price/dividend has been steady in the mist of storms of unforeseen/unpredictable circumstances that has been hiding the UK economy left/right and center for the past 5 year.

PaulCurtis Agree buy back at these prices SP yielding 8%+ and growth rate is north of 22% with margins expanding towards 25% its a little scary and at the same time crazy we are seeing the SP this low and below £ 8 when it should be double IMO. AngerSharkz I fully agree with the Countryside combination which seems strategically sound and should be add momentum to their overall offerings. Last time i added was at similar to current levels and i am getting tempted to add again now that we have a confirmed new Prime Minister at the helm..

Buck Bang on let's keep the tread where it belongs politically or otherwise

SP Could be at the sweet spot it violated the 'daily' 158 mark by hitting 154 intraday in doing so which may serve as the ultimate low until these results today are fully digested however I still think this 'Bird' has wings and more worms are just ripe for being picked up while still navigating this 'brand' still has some headaches but the company has good market dominance and power IMO. DYOR

VP I am on the same page here at least they seemed to have made an attractive investment in II which is adding revenue/profit to the group would like to have seen more details on the Chinese AUM.?

VP > I am In a similar situation with another housebuilder Vistry formerly Bovis they performed well since the GFC but after the enlargement of the group they have not yet penetrated market investor sentiment/appreciation as expected similar to ABDBN as a result the SP is well lagging its potential IMO the target SP return here is off the scales DYOR NB Sorry did not mean to deviate from ABDN treat here.

VP > I fully agree with your ABRDN statement below very well said indeed you touched on a lot of the potholes the company is currently navigating and if they can be managed well short term then this short position may have to be unwound relatively quickly in my opinion as the longer the base is forming the harder it is too against the prevailing tide having said that once SP gets its back above 2.00 it could be plane sailing towards the North Pole. From a technical point of view, the monthly charts look very oversold with a 17-month straight decline however this far the current month being an inside bar could be the 'trigger' bar.. August 31 shall tell us if this is the reversal point or not. Meanwhile, the recent low so far is @ 158.64 and the 2009 low was @ 141.14 as long as these price points don't get violated we could be in for a major double bottom pattern and a long uptrend ahead reading to the Monthly/Weekly tealeaftcharts DYOR

conv > we both agree on om smr's, wow that's nice if I had a big bag of Micky Mouse's finance money to invest in smr 's outside any public-supported purse or any UK banks for that matter if you happen to know who to contact within RR for this purpose then please do let me know?
