The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes place tomorrow with guest speakers from WS Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
Do none of you see any change coming down at the AGM? The majority investors have had to wait a year since Schofield debacle and they are clearly not happy that the CEO thought she could continue to help herself to 3.5million.
I am usually the one saying get out of here for the summer. I just keep on believing that somebody has to sweep the cronies at the top out.
Pogo is higher intellect than the average investor or is he?
I value Pogo's opinion. He has more depth than Winnie who just copies and pastes articles and fires off insults. Jed is still the God of all things ITV.
Graeme Souness is to be the saviour of ITV!
The CEO Dame McCall is doing a great job despite the share price this time last year being 82p. Despite wiping 7 billion from the company valuation since 2018. Despite being summoned before Parliament for allowing sexual predators to run amok.
Winnie really is living in an alternative universe where 70yr old ageing ex footballers are relevant to a tv audience. Schofield as a football pundit next?
I bought back in September at 70p. I am looking pretty here. Ex divi next week. Almost a 6p profit on 70p in about 8 months once the divi pays out. Not my best investment but it pays for the holidays and nights at the Ballet with Russian aristocracy.
Winnie has taken to spamming the forum?
Hate to break it to you Winnie but most young football fans will not be impressed by Souness. 30 years since he managed Liverpool. Even longer since he played. Next you will be telling us that Alan Hansen is coming out of retirement for ITV at the tournament.....
It gets more and more desperate for good news here.
Two host nations? DDR still exists and Winnie is stil living in 1989???? That would explain alot about her posts here.
Please anybody new take this as evidence that Winnie has no idea about anything she talks about.
The Big institutional investors have moved against the CEO of ITV. Demanded she take a cut where as previously they remained silent. It amazes me that Winnie would want to suppress discussion of this. The logical place for further actions to take place would be at the AGM in May. That could have huge repercussions for the Board but it would be the first real vote of confidence since they covered up for the sexual predator Schofield and were seen lying to Parliament.
Winnie why not play the race card as well? Why are the fixated on the CEO's gender only? The Scottish and Irish here will feel you are not speaking up for them. The anti transphobes will surely be happy to rally behind your screams of discrimination.
ITV spin? Still only the 5th largest streaming platform in the UK. Way behind where they once were as biggest broadcaster. Does their free to air model future stand any chance with falling as revenue? Dwindling advertising revenue and yet they pay Louis Walsh somewhere close to a million for Celebrity Big Brother. Who signs off on this nonsense.
Anyway Winnie as you well know, the big institutional investors forced the CEO, Dame Carolyn McCall to take a big reduction to her remuneration. No longer 3.5million. They expressed disquiet that her rewards were not linked to share performance.
That to me says there is discontent amongst the majority owners. Any kind of measure or notice could get put to the Board between now and the AGM. The smart investors would be pushing for change at a company where the CEO has wiped 7 billion from the valuation of the company.
Vote McCall OUT 2024.
2% drop in a day despite buybacks. I blame the warmongering troll Pogo.
Wow THG went off the side of a cliff during covid and has never recovered. I am still so happy I went with Shell during covid for a recovery share and made 2.5x my money on the shares bought at £10 lows. Just need ITV to go back to pre Mccall/ITVX fiasco share price of 120.
THG I know very little about but that 60p price looks good on the graph.
You think 78 is achievable before ex divi? I think 76 might have been the high yesterday and price may fall back to 70p after ex divi and then the buybacks will increase as the general market tries to pressure the price back below 70p.
One week to ex divi day. Weighing up different strategies. Going all in. Selling half with the idea of buying back on the day at maybe 5% less. Selling and taking the profit now before we go into six months of stagnation where nothing happens and the share price slowly declines.
What would Jed do?
Over 75. Quite an achievement. Congratulations to all the long term holders and ignore the newcomer Pogo who is only here for short term gain
It is a sorry state of affairs and will only get worse with Labour where middle incomes are squeezed by taxes that super rich never pay.
On the bright side we have record levels of immigration to pay tax and not 300million pensioners like China has.
Late 24/early 25 at the current rate. That could potentially keep this above 70p for most of the year although a large sell off after ex divi date may accelerate the buyback if the price falls below 70.
Summer has always been a good time to move to other stocks and then come back here for end of year.
Morning dip followed by afternoon climb. 4 days in a row now.
3.3p to be paid 23rd of May. Ex dividend date of April 11th.
Starting to see a pattern. After 2pm each day this week the SP picks up. RNS that comes out at 5.30pm usually shows 500k+ shares purchased as part of the buyback.
It is the Dame. The moment she makes her exit from the stage the mood will lift at ITV and the Share Price will take off like a rocket.
