I just noticed a buy order for smiths news was finally triggered this morning.
Very happy to be picking these up at an incredible value.

Currently over 11m shares traded - BUY , extremely high volumne - something is cooking that’s for sure .

[yasrub] 19/7/2024 15:07

Even ignoring the two 3.5m trades, volume still very high.

[santangello] 19/7/2024 14:55

Yes, that is possible....We shall see if any RNS appears or if may even just be MM to MM ?

Appearances can be deceptive. Those two trades look like both sides of a single transaction. A put through at an agreed price.

[santangello] 19/7/2024 14:27

Interesting 2 x 3.5m trades going through at what looked like the full offer at the time...

[stevensupertrader] 19/7/2024 13:25

Over 4.5 millions shares bought within a short period of few hours for your info .

Prompt Divi received via AJ Bell.

[norbert colon] 28/6/2024 15:34

Divi in the bank next week :)

[santangello] 25/6/2024 12:21

Possibly an overhang clearing yesterday?

[plasybryn] 20/6/2024 16:29

Thanks. I agree with his positive assessment. Nice. Estimates a 10/12% yield for 2025.

At this current share price is a bargain . Euro 2024 has started today and the stickers alone is £1m basing on the last result - World Football 2020. Snap this price up

[santangello] 14/6/2024 10:26

Agreed, currently xd, so a great time to buy and grab close to 7.8% yield.

Don't have to wait either, I have just bought mine with my part of my upcoming div proceeds, using T+20 (like legalised theft) :)

This is fast changing from a good to an excellent dividend play.

[martin44] 09/6/2024 22:06

Well put David!

[norbert colon] 08/6/2024 15:21

Well said David

Quietlife...I am not going to filter you but a bit of decent research would have shown that the three key executives started with the new chair in May 2020 and last being the FD in October 2021


David Blackwood joined the Board as Chair on 13 May 2020.

Jon Bunting appointment as Interim Chief Executive Officer on 5 November 2019, this appointment was confirmed on 15 June 2020.

Paul Baker joined Smiths News in October 2021 as FD


The low point for the company was June 2020 when the shares were 14p so I think it is safe to say that with dividends this management have delivered a five times multiple so far and the company is in a much stronger position with debt nearly paid off and dividends going to be significantly higher into the future.

Plan A is working and no need to fix it.

[norbert colon] 08/6/2024 10:58

Ditto - always happy to hear a contrarian view but uninformed garbage isn't helpful to anyone.

[melody9999] 08/6/2024 09:39

quietlife filtered. offering no insight. quality company and management. no position at present but on watchlist

[quietlife] 07/6/2024 19:08

Challenged obviously with wellls and sells
You get it though, physical foot fall is collapsing so sells are in a ever diminishing circle

Dividends only going one way like last time

[quietlife] 07/6/2024 19:05

Just remind me who the CEO is ??
You will find he was there when they were chucking the money away in tufnells and pass my parcel

So we have falling wells, falling margin and fixed costs

Nobody explained yet what plan B is apart from turning the lights off

Death spiral imo

Failed at plan B and C before so what confidence is there really
