I was not planning on buying this until it dropped today and got tempted, I for one saw today as the value tipping point. Price drop into close was filling a worked sell that got filled I noticed at 31.96, tomorrow may well see a resumption of sells which I can only presume like others have said is people selling rights issue shares acquired at 30p. The massive short spike in April coincided with the rather strange price increase on announcement of the financing - expect there are still some positions short below the 0.5%.
As for today's update, the lack of cancellations was key for me. This is a premium brand, which generally act differently in recessions to normal lower price bracket players. They need to get the production going to deliver in Summer, they said they are on course to do this, which is a must for cash. I think from the call there is some further financing in the pipeline and I suspect it will be a placing to a II or some convertible loan notes.
