FUTR

Future plc – argues trading “in line”, but why after previously “accelerating” its share buyback is it now to “pause” it then?

Describing itself not as an advertising, eCommerce affiliate and direct consumer media company but as a “global platform for specialist media”, Future plc (FUTR) has issued a “Pre-close trading update” including that it “will deliver in line with market expectations for FY 2026 as it executes against its strategy”. What about a currently more than 8% lower share price response to below 290p?

Maybe you should have sent this to Valereum (mis)management. They seem like questions they should be asking and getting answers to.

I am confused. Can I claim PIP for that?Markets are nervous.Should we all be buying gilts as the US seems to be finally buying the 10 year treasury?From a low of 3.92% to a high of 5.368% on th 7th of October. Then all of a sudden it is 4.957% intra day.AI is probably managing these trades!The word crash/correction is on every finance channel, could the algo learn from this?When you look at charts 50% downside in any stocks is possible.All of a sudden I like cash and the idea of spending it and enjoying things.I think Monday I will go and look at a new car or nearly new.
