B.P. Marsh & Partners – Kentro sale agreement looks to further highlight value, Keep Buying

By Tom Winnifrith & Steve Moore | Saturday 27 May 2023

Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Early stage financial services businesses investor B.P. Marsh & Partners (BPM) “is pleased to announce the disposal of its entire 18.7% shareholding in Kentro, subject to FCA approval being granted”. With the shares currently up to 334p to buy in response, how ‘pleasing’ is the prospective disposal?
