Bear in mind that there was a "Trading Update" last month so unless they've got something of significance to announce why would there be another one?

[scepticalinvestor] 26/11/2020 08:52

Must be an update tomorrow?

[cwa1] 26/11/2020 08:35

As predicted by SI above, the dividend has finally arrived

[scepticalinvestor] 24/11/2020 16:59

maybe Thursday?

[cwa1] 24/11/2020 11:17

Still waiting, same as last time

[smithie6] 24/11/2020 11:12

I received my divi as well
:-)

[arthur_lame_stocks] 23/11/2020 12:52

I got my dividend about a week ago.

[cwa1] 23/11/2020 11:43

Still waiting for the dividend, same as last time. They are the ONLY stock that iDealing doesn't post on the day it is due. I wonder what STM do that's different from everyone else, deliver it in one penny pieces?

[scepticalinvestor] 23/11/2020 08:23

Yes - agree. I reckon update tomorrow.

[smithie6] 20/11/2020 14:45

at some time we might/should get another acquisition reported at some time

they borrowed cash to do acquisitions, & have >60-70% of that cash still left to use

----

got divi recently, nice.

[smithie6] 20/11/2020 14:43

are you sure

no results due till springtime I think

-----

risk of falling from 30p is hopefully/surely small, with the support from cash per share & recurring turnover

[scepticalinvestor] 20/11/2020 13:34

Results next week?Taken a small punt at 30p today

[smithie6] 10/11/2020 18:58

same again tomorrow ??

worth much higher price imo but needs real share buyers if the price is going to get there
...+2.5p in 1 day, not too shabby ...

[smithie6] 10/11/2020 14:25

ooh

+2p

nice. :-)

------

update
2.5p

[smithie6] 06/11/2020 09:55

the share price needs an RNS to give some news that shows that the tide has turned, rather than any more bad news...

pays ya money takes ya chance

personally I think its way underpriced for the big book of clients & turnover that it has, & the cash held & possibility of reduction in the size of the cash needing to be held for regulatory reasons (if a chunk of cash was freed up then a chunk of the bank loan could be paid off)

it is slow & that phps deters some PI buyers

[timbo] 06/11/2020 09:37

I knew you were going to say that...

[spooky] 06/11/2020 09:32

I have psychic powers.

[ajkeats] 06/11/2020 09:29

Miton*!! Autocorrect

[ajkeats] 06/11/2020 09:29

How do we know it's moron selling? I can't find a filing?

[spooky] 05/11/2020 15:43

Looks like continued selling from Miton. They probably have 6m left to go IMO, but at 1m a pop that may not take that long.

[sphere25] 05/11/2020 15:35

Always looks cheap this one. All it does is rally then come out with a little profit warning, then rally, then warn again.

I don't know if it's rally time soon again but clearly some big buying today. Nobody is chancing it and following those buys in though :-D

[smithie6] 04/11/2020 08:33

someone declares that they have gone up thru the 3% reporting amount

a +ve indicator

[smithie6] 28/10/2020 20:28

other sector cos. that might like to buy STM, at a notably higher price imo

- XPS pensions (cap. value of ~£250 million)
- Phoenix Group (in hindsight this co. is phps far too big to be interested in STM since its cap. value is £6,600 million ! so STM is almost a speck of dust for it)

others ??

(at Phoenix a director has been buying, £120k worth, so he seems happy about the future for the sector.


"Phoenix Group Holdings PLC - life and pensions consolidator - Chief Executive Officer Andy Briggs buys 17,688 shares at GBP6.74958, GBP119,387 in total. Stake following purchase not stated. Current stock price: 661.20 pence Year-to-date change: down 12%")

[smithie6] 27/10/2020 18:59

no, imo it was a bed & Pension type trade

matched bargain, since there are 2 trades of 1 million shares

moving the shares from 1 pocket/fund at 1 investor/holder to another pocket/fund at the same holder

----

there was another trade of a sizeable chunk, phps 100k shares
that was a buy, based on the price paid

share price has been weak in the last 5-7 trading days, need something +ve or a dir. or ii to start buying

[jay083] 27/10/2020 11:59

looks like someone took 1m shares @ 27p yesterday
