This thriller on ITV looks pretty good



and this new ITV contest has the earmarks of a mega world wide hit:

"The fortune hotel"


The Fortune hotel is due to open its doors on 15th May...
I think it will be a world wide hit for ITV.

lol at bargainsniper...of course you really mean digital woke strategy....poor plebs being dragged kicking and screaming....funny how they forget that with a 2p rise...i wonder if they will forget about the takeover pish as the prices barrels towards 100p....

[bargainsniper] 09/5/2024 09:45

There is no arguing now.Digital strategy has won

[geckotheglorious] 09/5/2024 09:23

looks decent to me..

Especially

"Total advertising revenue up 3% in Q1, with strong momentum into Q2, expected to be up around 12%;  H1 expected to be up around 8%"

Full steam ahead one hopes.

Good point jonnybig. Are they being sponsored to sit tight? ;-)

GS PT upgraded to 76 ( prev 71)

[jonnybig] 09/5/2024 08:18

Vor capital and Canada pension kept their shorts open hoping for a continued decline in advertising so they'll have to close their positions now. All looking good 👍!

I said no buybacks today.
As Stan would say, you need to read properly.

The entire UK will need to be fingerprinted to get out of the country......
What on earth is going on......
This is totally insane.....
Bin Brexit now, I dont want to be treated like a criminal.

the future is UK INDEPENDENT TV and UK INDEPENDENT STREAMING

[jonnybig] 09/5/2024 08:06

Market likes it as the share price bid now 75.5p. It's all about the future!

So far so good, despite that ridiculous opening negative statement ;-)

[reidy66] 09/5/2024 08:05

Well the market likes it so far .

ITV binge watching the Olympic games

Q2 TAR at 12% is ahead of forecasts.

(Wish I could copy and paste the news articles I'm reading right now)

Largely focused on Q2 ad revenues.

"ITV forecasts 12% jump in Q2 ad revenue on Euros demand"

[netcurtains] 09/5/2024 07:56

ITV Buoyed by the EUROS...

[bargainsniper] 09/5/2024 07:54

Very strong digital growth

[reidy66] 09/5/2024 07:48

On first reading it's the 16% that hits you despite the other figures.. The open will be interesting

[bigegoadvfn] 09/5/2024 07:46

Net “So on balance its a cautious buy.”

Ha! Good summary! Agree. :)

[netcurtains] 09/5/2024 07:43

ON DOWN SIDE: any strong pressure to sell will be met with very large share buyback....
ON UP SIDE: They say on course for a good recovery in advertising and studio program sales...

So on balance its a cautious buy.

Yes - The ITV studios short-term impact has been flagged several times by ITV over the past 6 months so no surprise at all I guess. Just looks disappointing on first read today.

Hopefully the markets will focus on Q2 (and H1) TAR which were excellent.

[bigegoadvfn] 09/5/2024 07:43

The buyback terms have no market price conditions only available funds and a target end date.

It can operate at any price.

[jonnybig] 09/5/2024 07:42

Itv studios impact was expected therefore priced in imo. So I agree with the view that the future increase in ad revenue, the decrease in net debt and the pension surplus which no longer needs further funding will all please the market.

So I'm going for a nice jump today!
