Have you taken account of the £1.4bn proceeds from the disposal of the FT and The Economist?

[bookbroker] 21/10/2015 12:12

They will have to have laser like focus to get away from paper into software!

Debt'll kill this co., dividend next to take the cut!

On what basis? On the basis you think it might hold £10?

Good entry price..possibly..

Surely the divi has to be under threat -- look at the net debt position, increasing year on year despite asset disposals.

Breaking out after bouncing off long term resistance?

From Morning Star...

Pearson, up 4.9%. Citigroup resumed coverage of the education and publishing company at Buy with a 1,425 pence target price. Shares in the company were at 1,182.00 pence on Thursday. On Wednesday, Sky News reported Pearson was set to strike a deal to buy e-assessments company Learndirect, which recently won the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency's testing mandate away from Pearson. No such announcement has yet been made, however.

Nice to see these kick into life again....shouldn't be down here in the first place .

[edwardt] 27/7/2015 15:08

sell a good business to defend a declining one is not always the best strategic thinking in my mind. when in a hole, build a tunnel would be my view.

[saltaire111] 25/7/2015 15:13

Looks like The Economist's going too.

Detail's sketchy at the mo...

sale perhaps a means to fill gap from a potential profit warning from US education where there are troubles ahead...

[mike740] 23/7/2015 13:09

I read newspapers.

Love that crispy feeling between my fingers.

Plus they have hidden value in that you can use them as bog paper or swatting wasps.

Great hidden value here.

[binladin] 23/7/2015 12:53

Who reads newspapers now a days...??
Everything is on computers iPads Internet...
Newspaper business is dead...they might not even get half as much as they are asking for..no one sells a business that is growing...
