Picked up a few more at 949p today. Proceeding cautiously !

The shares have been (and are being) propped up by the ongoing share buy back. Fall would otherwise be greater?

Adding more in the middle/low 960s might be worth a punt?

EPIC FAIL for CHAT GPT?

xd dates were 26 Mar 2026 and 04 Sep 2025

DIV Payments: 18.89p and 7.71p

Delighted to pick up a wheelbarrow load of these at 976.

Slowly but surely the short positions are coming down!

And Slowly but surely Greggs stock rises ...

Several short positions sitting below the 0.5% report threshold? This would mean that there has not yet been a significant shift overall?

A sparkling trading update might oust some shorts (hopefully) ... We're all waiting for the turnaround and a major recovery.

I'd be happy to pick up more sub £14.

Not much sign yet of the much-rumoured stampede for the exit prior to the xd on 30th April. Without any shorts closing before then, the price will drop 50p at the end of the month, perhaps leaving the stock back at 1570?

Evidently retreat is the best form of defence?

Enjoy the momentary high !

Sell, sell, sell.

Marshall Wace slipping below the 0.5 % radar. Many more short parasites will follow under the cover of a market depressed by the current crisis.

Greggs looking resilient. And the xd. date is drawing closer. 50p bonanza.

Greggs snapping up free advertising in its media coverage (mile high sausages!)

Bellway ($BWY) will initiate the first 75 million-pound-sterling tranche of its share repurchase program worth 150 million pounds on Tuesday, according to a same-day filing.

Might be a small impact from the ongoing and 2nd stage buyback, goung forward ?!

"The repurchases under the first tranche, set to run until April 30, 2026, will be carried out by Citigroup Global Markets. All repurchased shares will be canceled to reduce the British homebuilder's share capital.

The completion of the share repurchase program is Oct. 31, 2026."

*** Still waiting for the fireworks ?! ***

Not exactly a company going down the plughole, is it?

"Resilient performance in a challenging market". Agree!

If its drops today I'll be adding.

Alternatively,

TACO = Trump always chickens out

IAG announced a Euro 1.5 billion buyback and the stock drops 5%. Scoundrels ! Parasites ! Thugs!
