Nice article in the Telegraph yesterday, putting where we are in the simplest of terms. £80m cost savings, 30% headcount reduction rather than the 20% it said it would do. £12.8m profit for the last 6 months of 2024 which would suggest we are going to clear the underlying £14m loss from 2024 by June 2025. I believe things look at lot more positive than they did in Feb 2023 |
No idea really. Weekend jiggery will determine it by 0750 i guess |
Ah it was that huge UT that did it....naughty mms holding back till close, it seems.
The reality is it's already accounted for, as I understand.
However loads of trades after close so being honest not sure whether we will be up on open on Monday or not.

Still climbing me ol sucker? |

Daniel Frumkin, Chief Executive Officer at Metro Bank, said:
"It has been a transformational year for Metro Bank as we made substantial progress against our strategy, ending the period ahead of guidance, profitable, and with strong momentum going forward.”
“We have successfully continued our pivot towards higher margin business in the form of corporate, commercial and SME lending and specialist mortgages, while also taking significant steps to reduce our costs and optimising our funding model. We have simplified and strengthened our balance sheet, and as a result, end the year with a robust capital position.”
“Our network of stores helps us grow our target markets, with our specialist relationship banking colleagues driving positive outcomes for customers and communities across the UK. We are delivering on our strategy. Looking forward, we are confident that Metro Bank has a strong and compelling plan, differentiated model and clear path forward to further growth.” |
Already have me old grape. |
You will learn |
Yet up she goes me old dear. |
The future is one day, the past. Metro bank had many futures since 4000p |
Remember, it's about the future not the past, or even the now, with shares.
I like the last line above in particular.
No guarantees of course.
The economy of course will play it's part in every shares trajectory.
