Perhaps the person who is short here is goldfinger?
Please enlighten us as to your grand holding, if any...

[goldfinger16] 05/3/2024 16:36

Don't worry folks, according to goldfinger shares will rise 20% to 70p in the next 24 hours!

justicejimbo....48 hours to hit 70p, looks like it needs a miracle, but stay long chaps and don't despair, it's a grand life!

Hadn't you heard justyjimbo, the MM's are holding the share price down so you can buy some more to add to your measly little holding!!

Just had a glance at the Simply Wall St breakdown of ITV ownership.

The percentage in private investors hands is now only 4.97%, which is down from 5.54% a couple of weeks ago. Which in turn is down from around the 10% mark a year or more ago.

I'm just pondering something

Some suggest, share price , post buyback announcement, always reverts back to where it was?

If so , isnt that back to the brutal down trend SP, 56s cracked and 28s coming?

Always cite your sources....nice put down for our resident fantasist.

Buybacks are just a tool for the inner circle...aka the BOD, investment bankers, advisors, brokers etc etc to keep it all churning...

Like many others on ADVFN I own plenty of shares undergoing buybacks. Buybacks are not the panacaea that some on here appear to believe.

[huckers] 05/3/2024 12:14

Disappointing though arguably not surprising to see the share price retrace a large part of Friday's move. But at least when the buybacks kick in they will start at a lower price and retire more shares for the same spend.

[jonnybig] 05/3/2024 11:53

Looking forward to the buybacks starting then it'll be up up and away!

[isis] 05/3/2024 11:33

Even the Aussies get it!

[spud] 05/3/2024 11:32

Support the share price? No, it's more likely to support those institutions wanting out! (more than happy to be proven wrong though).

Yes, agreed. But in this case, I think it is a sound use of the proceeds from the Britbox sale. And will, at worst, support the share price

[huckers] 05/3/2024 10:27

You know all this already but we have FY Results on Thursday and then from that moment the buybacks can kick in.

You've also got Vlad and his numerous other handles spamming the other thread (all filtered for the past 18 months so I don't have to read his inanity) and since he is almost always wrong you can take it as an indication that the share price will rise overall from this point in.

[kelso29] 05/3/2024 10:15

Can't believe these are back below 60p, so I bought another 30k this morning (average now 81p). If anyone can explain the share price movement over the last 3 days, I would like to hear it. Just looks like manipulation to me!
I also hold Reach, results (out today) were OK but kept dividend, share price up 15%. I'm expecting similar on Thursday for ITV

Took 5000 for wife's ISA

She watches Coronation Street so why not

59.92 after bro and stamp duty

First time I have seen a daily graph where the line is pointing vertically down.😀

[thebutler] 05/3/2024 08:54

Investors appear to be holding for the results and dividend announcement. Once these are out of the way, the buyback will see the start of an uptrend.

Shareholders in Spirent, which tests, measures and analyses telecoms devices, will receive 175p a share. Shares in Spirent closed at 108.4p yesterday. No doubt the 61 per cent premium will reignite the debate about whether the London stock market is valuing companies properly.



Sir Bill Thomas, chairman of Spirent, said: “Having considered in great detail the interests of all shareholders … the Spirent board believes that this all-cash offer recognises the underlying value of Spirent.”

[isis] 05/3/2024 08:07

Another day another bid. Spirient up 60% - Yanks are on it.

[the imperialist] 05/3/2024 08:05

IMHO the buyback-machine provides an AirBag for price action following any negative results.

SP has bottomed. Same as BT and VOD. Safe as houses for long term holders.

[netcurtains] 05/3/2024 07:57

Now profit takers have left the building its possible we should see our first non news bounce up......
As new investors come in for the share buybacks....

However also possible this will not happen and investors will wait until after the results to avoid any nasty surprises..

So should be an interesting day...
