No mention of further funding for buybacks. Did this come at the presentation last year or was it in the press release at 7am? Morning Star shows announcement as being at 11am 7th March 2024, so possibly in the presentation today the Dame will announce further funding for buybacks or if it is to come to and end. Could be a drastic fall from 11am if she removes the steroids boosting the share price

Record profits. Falling revenue. Static dividend.

Markets will open at 8am and will be the judge of who is the idiot.

Lots of filtering old gits here today who would rather not hear the truth. Keep on believing the spin and yes as Contrarian notes your dividend is falling in real terms.The business is facing additional costs in 2025 with NI payments increasing the costs to the business. 2025 results will only be worse and your dividend will only continue to fall in real terms

She opens saying 2024 is a successful year. Then states:

Total ITV Group revenue was down 3% and total external revenue declined by 4%, with 2% growth in total advertising revenue offset by the

expected decline in ITV Studios revenue.

She presides over a decline in revenue and lies threw her teeth to say a successful year. No wonder the city hates her. She treats everyone like idiots rather than giving a mea culpa

The first idiot of the morning has appeared as expected to try and hide the loss of revenues......

1822 million for Advertising

2049 million for studios

These are the estimates or the consensus of opinion. Still waiting on press release

Estimates on ITV results site expect studios to be down 100m for the year. Advertising revenue to be marginally up.

Expect lots of spin. Emphasis on record breaking streaming numbers. ITVX doing well. Then the news that advertising revenues are down and studio revenues are down (blame US strikes). The mood will be positive and upbeat whilst the results will further illustrate the decline in ITV revenues. Debt will be down but the Dame will have failed to add new studios to the ITV portfolio like Crozier did.

The self deluded commentators will be along shortly after to declare the results a success. Solley and Winnie will beat the drum for the official line and claim that the price can only rise.

Static share price until 9am then once markets have seen that the key indicators are poor the Share Price will fall below 68 and continue to fall for the day and into Friday. 64p or below by COB Friday.

McCCall presentation will be the usual drab affair with lots of blatant untruths about the state of the business and financial analysts will just despair about her lack of transparency and her continual use of spin.

Holders will be butt hurt yet again.

"Only paper losses". The trope of the seriously inebriated investor.

Pogo has failed to take me up on the prediction game despite me playing his weaker version. Even he knows it is going to be painful to watch. Extra protective sheeting going on holders beds tomorrow night. It will be messy on Thursday morning.

3 million in buybacks today and still it failed to stop the crash. Seriously deranged if you hold this share into next week.

Francn79 you have been the best informed of any poster here for years. You have to be a disgruntled coworker who is fed up to the back teeth with the Dame and her cronies

You put up the link to the AGM live questions and answers 3 years back and lo and behold my question got asked.....

So take that as gospel folks. The Dame has parties to be seen at so you can all wait another 8 months to break even

McCall resignation would more likely be AGM or is that something to bundle in with years results? Last year I was living in hope that she quit but this year I have lost all hope. She will see this out until she is 65 and maximise her pension

I am going for a 64p close on Friday so the Ukrainski anti semite will be 28k underwater.

In the absence of Pyongo I will step up to host this weeks prediction game.....

A small twist with this weeks eagerly anticipated Full Year Results. :)

So a certain loud mouth has told the whole world that he owns 400,000 shares here at an average of 69p. Call it 70p as I am guessing there has been some Nigecoesque rounding down.

That is 280k in £.

So predict by Wednesday night. How much will Pongo be up by COB on Friday. If it goes to £1 then he will be sat on 100k and and easy 20k to play with. Alternatively if it drops to 60p then he will be nursing some heavy losses and his fragile ego may mean he never posts here again.

Zelensky, McCall and Pogo. Blaggers.

People promoted beyond their ability or in the case of Pongo typing out reams and reams of AI generated nonsense to try to convince us that he is something other than a hard up migrant working for the minimum wage and someone who is unable to answer any of the questions put to him by others on this forum because his English is next to non existant.

Charlatans hiding in plain sight

If you are betting on Arab Oil money buying out an undervalued UK share then you are looking at the wrong share. BP is the one most likely to get bought out by one of the rich oil investment funds or possibly a merger with Shell and relisting on the NYSE. Capital markets day tomorrow at BP and people are speculating wildly as to what may happen and that the BoD may be forced out by activist investors.

No such luck at ITV where the Parasite Dame and her cronies do precious little other than defend their unmerited bonus options.

Sorry, I have been quiet here recently. I married my Russian Doctor and am busy making Russian babies.
