Looks like a large seller pressed the sell button. The question is how many for sale?

Had a small top up at 428p. Bought in at 250p around three years ago. Good experienced management team This to me is an ongoing turn around from the mess Bethel and his cohorts left the company in. I see no reason to sell at this time. Time will tell

Same here, bought for the turnaround and recovery which is well on its way. Add in the wars and need to increase defense spending in NATO and I'll continue to hold

Thanks Dope. I will be in for a while longer as believe it can do well over the next 6/12 months but that said who knows what will happen.

Maybe high hopes and the inevitable profit taking which gets taken advantage off by the mkt. the shares have done well and it looks a classic dump the news event

Is the 5% drop from the capital markets day?

May be looking wrong but seems to be lots of buys happening in the afternoon. Volume looks relatively low (from what I can see too).

Watched part of the presentation
Disappointed to see that they are projecting sales to increase by mid single figures

It's been a tough hold for the past 3 years but patience is finally paying off. I really rate the CEO David Lockwood. He's slowly turning the company round after the debacle of Archie Bethel and his cohorts. Can't see any reason why this shouldn't go from strength to strength as investors gain more confidence with the company and the management.

I don't think going ex divi of 1.7p will have much effect on the share price.

Anyone seen tonks.....?

[dave whitby] 04/1/2024 20:27

This FTSE Frigate is turning around.

[dope007] 03/1/2024 13:19

Ex divi in a couple of weeks so this run up is more than welcome

[dope007] 03/1/2024 11:48

Same move as the last breakout would be nice

[suetballs] 03/1/2024 10:30

Nice to see after years of misery here.
£6 this year will do me.
Suet - getting carried away as usual.

Will it be as simple as a round number jump to 500p ? Even funds are sheep.
