Reach plc – interims, ‘Extra! Extra! Read all about it!’… it’s a halved dividend!

‘National and local news publisher’ including the Mirror, Express,MyLondon and the Manchester Evening News, Reach plc (RCH) has announced first half of 2026 results headlined “On track to deliver market expectations for FY26 despite industry disruption” and emphasising “confident in our ability to navigate uncertainty… we are building a stronger business by investing in digital subscriptions and video, securing greater independence from referral traffic”. With the shares though currently at around 45p in response, more than 23% lower, where does the market seem to disagree?

A News Outfit Unfairly Hindered by Covid Looks Set for a Better Future

Hello Share Bungers. I’ve just wasted most of a day researching a company to put before you. However, I became increasingly uncomfortable about the outfit because of one or two things it publicises that I’m uneasy about. So let me suggest you take a look at another company instead. It’s called Reach (RCH). I’m a little biased towards this lot as, being a hoary old hack, I like to encourage the art of print journalism.

…and yet, several professional/institutional investors have a notifiable stake and seem to have held firm for some time. Go figure. It certainly isn't a pick for anyone who needs forward earnings visibility as the Croda deal which should be the jewell in the crown is shrouded in secrecy. I consider it to be like a typical nil-revenue pharma which has just licensed its patented cure for acne to AstraZeneca. If it works, everyone gets rich on 100% margins…albeit SBTX does have other small businesses in the group.Skins is undoubtedly a gamble but it is better than many AIM punts because there is already strong evidence that its IP portfolio could be valuable, with royalties only now starting to come in from Croda.Obviously, the SP has suffered as a result of the investigation into the former CEO's misdemeanours and a lengthy AIM trading suspension. But this has only set us back a year and the new Board, having steadied the ship, is now starting to see revenue growth above expectations. The upcoming FY results and 2026/27 guidance will give us a much clearer picture but the current SP looks to me like a bargain for adventure lovers.

TW you are such a pathetic jealous loser who has never done anything in your life except attack innocent people who you envy and try to ruin them after all your own businesses before failed with shareholders losing everything (must have small dick syndrome I am sure) but this is a new low attacking a taxi driver getting a tip and a school girl getting sponsored and trying to get her father fired. I ask everyone to cancel their subscription immediately and all defamed companies and management to email and join sheriffclassaction@pm.me and put an end to this bullshit once and for all!

I think the Bull case for skins was made by sa in a podcast with you in 2021.The issue now is.A) No one knows how many shares will be issue when the company reaches break even.B) No one on planet earth appears to know when Croda revenues will surge producing a rerating.
