After the close it seems that someone completed a purchase north of about £537K. Explains the extra tick up in the last few mins of trading.

Just trucking along in the right direction.

[johnrxx99] 13/6/2024 07:22

Must see a NAV way over 660.

[thunders] 13/6/2024 07:14

Great timing

Massive raise from DB :o)

As suspected Blackrock were fiddling about yesterday and added a few.

[thunders] 12/6/2024 19:57

This move is definatley very convincing that rally has got the leg.

[euclid5] 12/6/2024 19:06

Big move today at 19%

Did not expect such a reaction given there didn't seem to be anything really new in the results. Took the opportunity to trim a few and add to AUGM which has been completely flat over the past few months. Also hold a little CHRY although not tempted to add there for time being.

A damascene experience then.Suddenly the markets are conscious of a significant discount to NAV.US inflation data helps i guess.It isn’t easy to know quite when the market will decide to appreciate such discounts.The Wall Street Journal has an article this week commenting that while the indices are relatively calm,this disguises sharp moves in individual stock prices.Its a lottery when stocks move like this but i’m happy to benefit.I’d be surprised if the NAV discount narrowed to less than 20-25% short term but that’s probably because i’m using a rear view mirror to guess what’s ahead!

Even if goes to 600p it will be still below 662 NAV

Looking likely to pop 400p. Will be big ups and downs I'm sure but perhaps the tide really is turning.

[its the oxman] 12/6/2024 11:33

Yes, good news. If we have passed the low point of the valuation cycle and given the more positive outlook we could now continue to close the discount to nav.

[peterrr3] 12/6/2024 07:53

Not that I'm complaining.....

[peterrr3] 12/6/2024 07:30

This is going up on really thin trade, my guess is Blackrock.

[bigbigdave] 12/6/2024 07:21

Market likes the news. Forward statement very positive.

[johnrxx99] 12/6/2024 07:08

To be honest a bit dissappointed as well but I think we've seen the bottom in VC investment. If what they say is correct EU is leading the way while US looses it's focus on innovation.

Let's see what today brings.

[peterrr3] 12/6/2024 06:48

Only £100m to be realised in the next year and following the last few divestments likely at modest amounts above holding value. So won't really cover the wages bill.However Institutional investors will like the buy back.Bit disappointed but kind of expected it, especially with the prospect of the FSA casting an eye over the valuations.

[mallorca 9] 12/6/2024 06:33

£40m loss !

[peterrr3] 11/6/2024 19:53

Having done a bit more homework this is LSE as a seed investor picking up the UK market segment that was being abandoned as loss making, so it won't be a complete write-off to both parties. Unless they can bring Shein on board for retail investors not really much on the horizon in volume, have to see how it fares in the US and Europe when they give that a go.

[kooba] 11/6/2024 15:23

What it means valuation wise rather difficult to know until more details are out.

[johnrxx99] 11/6/2024 15:15

Kooba - good stuff, thanks

[peterrr3] 11/6/2024 15:08

Nice find kooba
