From this mornings Guardian:

Pearson's biggest investor says it should re-list in the US

Pearson’s biggest shareholder has said that it should re-list in the US, arguing that leaving London would be better for shareholders as most of the education publisher’s business and rivals are based in North America.

The founder of Cevian Capital, Europe’s largest activist investor, said that joining the increasing number of London-listed companies moving out of the FTSE would be an “easy and effortless way” to increase the value of Pearson which has seen its market value flatline this year.

“Pearson is a US company with the majority of sales and executives there,” said Christer Gardell, managing partner of the Stockholm-based investor, in an interview with Bloomberg. “It is only due to historical reasons it is still listed in the UK.”

Pearson makes almost two-thirds of its £3.8bn annual revenues in North America.

Its been doing OK recently....

[netcurtains] 02/11/2023 07:33

LB - not necessarily. History tends to suggest its better to buy a rising share than a falling one...

Two people dont want this share to rise.... 😃
At least I'm assuming that is the reason for the mark down.

[netcurtains] 18/10/2023 08:11

"if" A levels and T levels get replaced will Pearson get the new work?
Is this change good for Pearson?
The market appears to think so (I guess)

[netcurtains] 21/9/2023 10:15

Can we have two more mark downs - they seem to do the price a world of good...
ha ha ha...

I want four mark downs this time..

Thanks in advance. 😃

I have more readers then any other poster (judging by mark down count - Advfn should pay me for each post read)...

If anything I think the leaving CEOs words are a "better than expectations" trading update:

"
Andy Bird said: "It has been an enormous privilege to lead Pearson through a period of significant change over the last three years. The business is now firmly established as a digital-first learning company, with technology driving significant growth. It is re-focused around the learner and lifelong learning, with a stronger culture and increased emphasis on accountability and execution. We are well positioned for future growth with a clear vision and a strong management team to deliver it. I am confident that Omar has the right skillset and experience to take Pearson forward."

liam1am:
Did you not read my message saying "so what?"

No offence but are you sure a 4% fall is due to an organized, known in advance, leaving thingy? With successor already in place?

Come one???

[liam1om] 20/9/2023 09:35

Did you not think to read the RNS today? CEO leaving.

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:55

The 2 markdowns for the previous posts appear to have stabilized the fall.
Perhaps a third mark down will enable the price to rise.

Lets see... 😀

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:40

...any rumours etc? Or will this baby bounce back right up once the dust has settled?

Its all very odd....

Has the last guy left under a cloud (metoo?) and some big court case is about to break??

Or is it all a big mistake?

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:22

Its not a general thing, as REL and other shares often linked in the same sectors all appear to be going up...

I can't believe the retirement in 2024 or the new replacement can be the cause. That would just be nuts...

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:21

So much money wiped out in the space of 20 minutes...
BLimey!

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:19

It does not appear to be an accident, the price is still falling.

[netcurtains] 20/9/2023 08:11

Do we know the reason for the MASSIVE RELATIVE fall in Pearson share price this morning?

The uk rejoining the EU horizon project is good news for the education sector
