Personally I think the recent drop has been partially magnified by upcoming Sorell venture, but am confident that this is as much general market negative sentiment which will reverse when financial institutions see this as a very profitable, valuable company on its own with or without major competitors which China often bouy a stake market .

Looks like those in the know have told their pals to expect not so good results tomorrow, judging by the fall this afternoon.
Personally I think although the competitive market blah blah blah, challenging condiyionsbkah blah blah and other pat phases that there WILl be some nuggets of positive news. Nxt's competitors are falling by the wayside weekly and ithey are well establishing shed to improve on their market share. A buy from me.

I’m long on BCA but I’m not sure your analogy is wholly correct. If the cars are returned after only 3 year leases the garages themselves may still want the option to sell the vehicles themselves as they will probably be well maintained graded cars that buyers may want with warranties and the perceived security of a buying from a garage. Fingers crossed there will still be enough legs for BCA to get to the £3 mark, either with further increased profits, increasing their dividend or a takeover approach.

Even after the improved trading reports this year I’m not sure if the buy backs have been helping to support share price levels rather than help with increase them.

With recent agreements and acquisitions ( with little downturn in share price ) in Turkey, India and USA , we have a lot to be positive about here.

Thx for that, checked my a/c this evening, mine in too now. Bonus off nice rise today, this is a very tradable share( paying no stamp duty) and 30/ sometimes 40p price differences in a day.

Not sure if any other holders have had divinpaid today or not. Not in my account yet I’ve a/c with Iwebsharedealing

I love optimism and talk of a takeover. I think all the shares I own except maybe Shell are possible takeover targets , but that’s my wishful thinkIng based on nothing more than my wishful thinking, Looks like a wee bit of market stabalizing after recent mini storm ( for me anyway ) my dividends due soon will offset some but I’d love emg to start to creep rather than spike up, gl

Recent price fall from “ even better “ than expecting increased profit results time is really baffling. With increased profits and highly increased revenue this is a screaming buy to me with £1 easily achievable in weeks. “ THEY “ obviously more than us mere mortals. Good luck all renewi holders, and maybe someone can shed light to me. It can’t all be profit taking.

I’ve heard about buys showing as sells but are the totals accurate as here 2.5 more buys than sells ?

Not sure what happened yesterday spike up to near 1290, that would have been a nice sell for those that saw it. Nice to see rise today again, hopefully mid 1250 or above by end of week. ( or even more), also nice to see protest votes again HUGE board payments. I might trade a few if it travels towards the 1300 in the short term.

I’m more apprehensive than eager. But live in hope.

To be honest I haven’t a clue which way this will go, short or longer term. There is money to be made trading this, even intraday ( as no stamp duty paid ) but was shocked to see this drop today, so near ex div date and near to both its 1 year and 5 year low. The dividend will be much appreciated especially to the longer term holders, but I would not be as surprised to see this at £13 sooner than shocked to see it around the £10.50 mark.

Not sure what’s caused the drop today,? Unless someone can assist. Ex doc tomurrowbut only a few pence so hopefully no change but with a year pack with sports and still well frequently value pubs I am hopeful that this is ananoaly as minimum trades so far today.

I havent the nerve or authority to post. I bought at the peak st around 218 after very good results a few months ago and managed to average down and sold at 189 last week, losing my nerve. Bought in again yesterday at 184 on hope of strength towards the divi, As all who own this know it’s a shortest dream and price bears absolutely no resemblance to its fundamentals. The buy back must have been strengthening the price but I’m not sure what will get this back to above £2 ( apart from a takeover rour) !

Didn’t you just feel the fall from 185 to 160 was manufactured to let “those in the knows “ cronies fill their boots while frightening of smaller private losses. I don’t my telling i bought at the absolute peak around the 218 mark then bought again in much smaller dealing at 180 then 160 and really expected this to happen, with the solid performance reports. This is a friustrating share, I’m not sure to get out even now or wait for the £3 takeover offer.

Bought in, almost at the 2 year high point so maybe my timing wasn’t great considering the retrace in the couple is f days afterwards . Time will tell I suppose, I know there used to be massive reliance on I think the aht ? Fund powered by algorythms.

Heck , you must have had some hair pulling. as i said have been in and out of this a few times and made a meagre profit ( trading really) and i would have had a huge profit if i had stayed the distance, but i think i would have been even greyer than i am now if i had stayed here. Hopeful like others to the 230 mark, where i would be happy with.

In hindsight I may have been better waiting until after ex div date to buy in, as many uk holders I would suggest may sell after this years rise and take that profit rather than the reduced taxed dividend. Wish I’d thought of that sooner. Lol

Anyone
