I looked into the trades yesterday, the total value of sell orders were considerably higher than the total value of the buy orders. There's a big seller out there and it typically starts in the afternoon.

I can't seem to find anywhere when they will publish results, I know it should be sometime soon but is there an official date for this year?

Earnings won't be spectacular but revenues will hopefully benefit from the additional investment, the forecasts currently at 280.45 mil for revenue.. Think the shares will take a while to recover, however when I did relook at the results I was most impressed with. "Geographically, headline growth in Asia was particularly strong at 46%, North America was 12%, with Europe (including the UK) increasing by 17%." Considering the issues in Europe that's pretty good and the Asia results is a promising signal for more things to come!

The revenue numbers were pretty good and outlook is promising especially since they are investing heavily. This will take a lot longer to play out than I expected but I will be looking to add to this position within the next few months. Lancaster has everything under control now.

Any news on the share? its fallen quite a bit since Blackrock dropped it... Results on tuesday going to be bad?

Comments from Britvic: “Here we are, two British companies trying to strengthen ourselves against a vast US corporation [Coca-Cola] and being thwarted by the OFT,” fumed Gerald Corbett, Britvic chairman. Reuters "The combined group's UK market share would rise to 14 percent compared with Coca-Cola's 28 percent." Surely it will pass?

@jollyspeculator It's looking pretty good at the moment, I expect all the brokers to re-rate the shares in next few weeks and remove any stigma that's attached to SDL. I think the return of Lancaster will certainly improve the running of the company!
