Ingenta (ING) recently announced results for the first half of 2022 and that it “anticipates that results for the year ended 31 December 2022 will be ahead of current market expectations”. With the current valuation looking modest and the above despite prevailing macroeconomic angst, there looks good value.

Shares in airlines have been hammered recently with concerns over demand during a cost of living crisis, as well as rising costs of running these businesses, but I’m not convinced that things are quite as bad as the markets seem to be factoring in.

Self-styled “the premium performance nutrition company serving elite athletes, sports enthusiasts and the gym lifestyle community”, Science in Sport (SIS) has updated commencing “2019 has seen rapid progress at the company… total sales growth for the year to 31 December 2019 is expected to be slightly ahead of market expectations, with sales momentum into 2020 underpinned by operational progress including a new PhD.com e-commerce platform and a new protein powder line, which is now in full production”.

Tissue products manufacturing group Accrol (ACRL) has updated that it received valid applications of 287.64% of the new shares available under an open offer to raise up to £1.935 million at 15p per share.

Near the top of the FTSE-100 leaderboard today is the telecoms behemoth Vodafone (VOD), which proudly said earlier today that it had enjoyed a ‘good year, gaining share’. Of course the headline profit numbers were full of the negative impact of a non-cash impairment of €5 billion relating to its Indian business.

Right here, right now though, I would sell Vodafone shares.
