ITVX August Debrief stats just published.

“ITVX was once again the biggest commercial BVOD player in August. This extended our streak of consecutive months at number one to eight - a fantastic achievement for the service.”

“Streaming hours and streams were also up 7% and 5% year on year respectively. This illustrates how ITVX is maintaining its upwards trajectory.”

Hi Robwt, I hadn’t seen the short interest stuff , but I would go with Huckers and Bigego’s comments. Don’t think it’s very important/px sensitive. Sorry that’s not very helpful (from me).

It seems to be a very badly written article.

The attention grabbing "35% increase" pulls you in thinking 35% of ALL the ITV shares are short - which would be huge, but infact they are simply comparing one historic number of shares short to current and deducing that has increased by 35% (eg 100 shares last month and 135 this month kinda thing wow!!!)

However their data is suspect as the quote only talks about shares in the thousands! What on earth do they mean?! :

"I think it’s worth looking at the numbers behind the short interest. Although this grew by 35.3% in a few weeks, with only 4,600 held short, it’s still less than the daily average volume of 7,300. So while it’s worth keeping an eye on, I don’t think it’s a trend to be concerned by."


I agree shorttracker provides the real picture and barely changes from one month to the next.

Just background noise in my opinion given the liquidity and size of ITV.

I look at the short interest from time to time and I'm fairly certain it has stayed more or less the same over recent months. Occasionally someone will drop out as they just fall below the 0.5% threshold only for them to reappear when they increase back above the same threshold. Nothing has changed dramatically. Best to avoid reading the Motley Fool, too!

You can see the changes as they are reported here.

Mattewr...what's your take on the increased shorts?

Thanks for the update Bigego. I don’t want to be a party pooper , because cancelling shares is a positive. However in 99% of occasions, shares are cancelled with a buyback , ie it’s not a surprise to the market whatsoever. What is a surprise is the timing , as to why now and when will they cancel the circa 100m shares they’ve already bought. She committed to returning all proceeds to shareholders so it really was nailed on. Let’s see if US can hold the gains….

New buyback RNS - shares cancelled for 2nd time in a row.

Excellent.

UK v Europe Monthly State Retirement Pension. Srooge Starmer makes life even harder for many OAP's by taking the little help they got from the Winter Fuel Allowance....the £10 Xmas bonus stays at £10 for the 53rd year it stays at a derisory tenner. No wonder Strarmer's down in the minus levels popularity rate, once a c*nt always a c*nt!!!

Is The 1% Club an ITV product that is licensed?It's going well down in Australia and the USA it would appear.Fingers crossed that ITV get something out of it.
