Sharecast News) - Investment platform Hargreaves Lansdown was under the cosh on Wednesday after an offering of 6.7m shares by co-founder Stephen Lansdown was priced at 1,535p per share, which is a 5% discount to the closing share price on Tuesday.
According to terms seen by Bloomberg, the stake was offered by PHL Limited, an entity controlled by Stephen Lansdown.

Barclays is the sole global coordinator in the placing.

Should be yes, but some brokers are slower than others because it is paid in $ and has to be converted into £ before distribution.

Overwhelmed with business apparently their busiest year of the day!

Hargreaves Lansdown, a fund and trading platform
with more than 1.4 million investors, said the trial results
prompted the busiest day in volumes on its website and app.

I can't see any results?

I agree, sadly the shares have been very poor a few months now.

Still happy with my purchase. Markets have taken a major nosedive in the last three days or so pretty much anything you might have bought would have lost money. None of us have a crystal ball, you just have to try and make the best informed decision at the time. Only time will tell if it was a good decision !

Dangerous to call a bottom, but at least gas prices have doubled from the July low so it's not all bad news. Market is being driven by fear and blind panic.

Vix is up 11% right now. Tons of volatility certainly in most of my stocks. Had most of the biggest losers on the 100 and 250 today and yesterday so my PF has been properly beaten up.

Nope! Biggest loser on the 100 and Can’t see anything to reason why

> The issue is $261.4m Q3 to $49m Q4 is not a gradual reduction and is completely fabricated bs

Agree Mark this is BS. looks like they are sticking to their guns and not giving anything away by emails. At some point they will have to issue an upgrade in Q4 even if business is conservative they will beat full year guidance. It is annoying I know but not a lot we can do about it.

I'm sure some of the big boys will have been on the blower already to express their opinions. It's not the first time and it does somewhat erode confidence in the company if they think it will only do some 49M of business in Q4.

Yes - ridiculous. Such poor wording has trashed the sp, these are stunning results

Is back to $3 MBTU not seen for quite some time. Maybe with winter coming and the need for heat and electricity generation in the northern hemisphere winter it may find some support there. Lets hope the demand side picks up.

Looks like we got our timing right boys!

I agree. I too bought a few as the last update looked good to me and todays fall seemed like an opportunity. Choppy markets make people trade more and it has in my case anyway.

Vix index is now over 30. Volatility increasing again so soon should be making plenty of money. Div pay day tomorrow 30.24p.

I hope so! Thoroughly fed up with this dog having held for 11 years currently thinking about chucking the lot in. Current price is even money so with divs have made plenty out of it over the years. Comparing it to some of my other investments it has been awful really not far off the march low and the FTSE is 1000 odd points higher than then.

Looks like Blackrock have finished selling down their stake to 5% as the last RNS. Might have been responsible for the weak SP in recent trading sessions.

Probably disruption to sales of vaccines. It seems only covid matters right now but when it blows over we will all be needing cures for everything else.

Just announced for retail from 6th Jan. This has caused a mini flash crash. Previous leverage was only 2:1 on retail so maybe impact will not be that large.
