No Santa Rally for the UK this year, in fact all is in reverse. |
Silverlandfinance,
Poor FTSE performance today on strong wage data...
Think thats the reason ITV and the entire markets are showing red today. |
Could say the same for the pump crew on here, poor old hades on his fourth avatar trying to push this up |
Get the share buy back team working and active rather than taking their normal 3 hour lunch break ;-) |
The drop in price this morning is probably because of the flop in the Canal+ debut on the London Stock Exchange |
Hopefully the buyback is more active today. |
Opening auction 70.1p (Which was down 3.15p on yesterdays closing auction)
Interesting start to the day.. |
Canal+ valued at £2.3bn after shares fall on London market debut - https://on.ft.com/49MCE9K via @FT |
Ignore this at your peril. Any downturn will affect advertising revenues within ITV.
While the December PMI is indicative of the economy more or less stalled in the fourth quarter, the loss of confidence and increased culling of jobs hints at worse to come as we head into the new year.
Blame the Labour government. |
Only if Ican live to that very moment! |
CAN opens at 258p , HL suggests 2.5bn market cap. |
350K...if they rise 30p you are £100k up, good for you, a big cheer if they hit 105p!!
Good Luck and Merry Xmas to you all!!!! |
Stewart19, here are 24 from 2024 so far (5 FTSE-100 and 19 FTSE-250).
That’s about 1 every 2 weeks!
Also
“Investors on the receiving end of a bid have cottoned on to the fact that many predators are not giving up if their first offer is turned down. That’s given many shareholders confidence to say no at the initial bid and ask for more – because, in most cases, they are getting it.”
And
“ The average bid premium was 45%” |
Looks like some of these Behemoths have noticed ITV, however the UK remains an investment graveyard.
Talk of bids for UK companies is everywhere, but nothing ever seems to happen. |
The more you talk, the more sluggish the share price will be |
ITV, ITVX and ITV Studios would help so many different companies with their own offerings, strategies and growth.
I’m not selling until one of them steps up and makes me a great offer |
 Ref; Apple. Took this short piece and pasted it here, it has not been linked to any journo but I assume it is poignant to recent events.
Some of the financial media journalists were saying it was sound economic sense for Apple to obtain ITV the UK Broadcaster. Studios and content are being included in a mkt cap so low it will be taken over sooner than later. Clearly there are going to be a lot of changes in brands and offerings, possibly happening faster in some cases than some viewers behaviour. ITVx are currently in real terms getting streaming numbers higher than any of the big names.
And no doubt these takeovers/ mergers etc, will impact viewing in the long term. But let’s not forget it’s not just a household brand name that could potentially be on offer here to Apple or one of at least three others. The beauty of ITV is its ability to deliver fantastic (what we call) ‘compromise TV’ that people including the 18-30 year olds can agree on and often enjoy together more than watching privately.
Very exciting times for those at ITV |
Telegraph on Canal+ listing in London tomorrow :
“Ultimately, Canal+ aims to expand into a truly global media group with as many as 100m subscribers.”
They’re going to need to grow through acquisitions and they need lots of content.
“Meanwhile, bidders are reportedly circling ITV and its booming production business. Could either of these be appealing takeover targets for Canal+? “Not today,” Saada says, deploying a favoured phrase he claims to have borrowed from the video game Call of Duty. It is the cautious approach of an ambitious chief executive reluctant to rule anything out.”
Never say never!

Good PR for ITV, a public broadcaster.
When a barely dressed A list female celebrity turns up, it might be worth watching, just to see the expression on the "audience faces". |
BBC airs the pilot - then ITV steals the show, demonstrating commercial strength. |
