The sp doesn't necessarily reflect the value, that's the game we play. We are waiting for govmt to be bold on defence spending:

The government’s Defence Investment Plan will be published before the next NATO summit...

QinetiQ's support for HMS Anson's maintenance in Australia using additive manufacturing highlights its role in defense innovation. This rapid production method, leveraging local suppliers, establishes a new standard for efficiency and strengthens its strategic partnership with the UK’s Submarine Delivery Group. As this capability aligns with AUKUS initiatives, QinetiQ, IMO, is poised to enhance its revenue through expanded opportunities in the defense sector:

Food has been M&S’s most consistent performer:

Forcys (Australia) has expressed enthusiasm for the opportunities presented by AUKUS, particularly regarding the Undersea Robotics Autonomous Systems (AURAS) initiative. The company is recognised for its expertise in operating Uncrewed Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). Within the context of Australia’s maritime defence capabilities and the AUKUS partnership, Qinetiq and Forcys have formed a strong collaboration. They have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance Australia’s sovereign capabilities in maritime assurance, merging Qinetiq’s skills in defence testing and evaluation with Forcys’ innovative underwater sensing and communication technologies.

Breaking:

AUKUS trilateral defence deal has been announced. UUV's playing a major role. QinetiQ is actively involved in the AUKUS security project. This is good news for world security and for QQ.

The Tory-led administration of Enfield council in north London is recklessly opposing the new towns scheme. Do these people really have Britain's best interests at heart?

One thinks not.

Enfield council withdraws from government’s new towns programme:

That larger testing facility will come in very handy for evaluating the needs of a modern hybrid navy:

It looks like our momentum is continuing. Some interesting defence deals are occurring!

This, although not necessarily impacting QQ, is nonetheless encouraging:

QQ is clearly expecting it's work load to increase. 'QinetiQ has increased the capacity of its vessel testing facility with the addition of a new water tank that will enable larger uncrewed mine hunting vessels...'

Mediaset Spain has been instructed to pay €73.2 million to ITV marking one of the most significant television rights decisions in Spain's history.

This ruling is a big win for ITV, reinforcing its rights and likely improving its financial status. The hefty compensation shows the court's strong stance on intellectual property, which could set a precedent for future cases.

It might also lead to tougher protections for original formats across Europe, suggesting ITV's victory could have wider effects beyond this case:

'A little advice'

That's a question, not advice.

Assuming you meant that you are requesting advice, then only you can decide.

Personally, I think we'll turn the corner in H2, best to hop on the bus now!

Today we had a good set of results, that puts us on a good path. Well done to those who stayed. Additionally there are interesting developments in the necessary defence sector.

IMO, the RNS does not convey any concerning information; rather, it provides us with updates on ongoing developments in a typical manner. The proposed dividend and communications with investors suggest a stable outlook. Although there is some caution due to the drop in share price, we understand the reason for this, and it has already been factored in.

This is encouraging. An initiative to unlock dormant, unviable small brownfield sites:

Every Tory (and incognito Reform) is an armchair critic with no record of achievement. Let's not forget they buildt nothing, and underfunded prisons. The mess they left is huge - but is slowly and surely being addressed, despite the headwinds:

I would agree, it is very much overdone. There's a lot of doom and gloom talk about and that has put off buyers previously. However, the economic picture is better than the media are constantly telling us! There is evidence that buyers are beginning to ignore the geopolitical news we are fed daily. The UK economy grew in March despite the ongoing Iran conflict.

The Minister of State for Housing and Planning, Matthew Penny cook, posted earlier on social media:

'We arrived in office with a bold and comprehensive plan to build the homes and infrastructure our country needs.

We are faithfully executing that plan.

It is beginning to bear fruit.

While the headwinds are growing stronger, we are going to stay the course.'
