Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Datrontech, the computer components supplier, firmed 9p to 125p after it issued a reassuring trading statement. Full-year profits will be in line with expectations at about pounds 6m. Chief executive Mark Mulford and finance director Gerard Connolly, brought in to shake the group up after a profit warning last year, are shifting the business away from volatile computer memory towards more profitable components and networking products. Management reckon the group should be able to produce annual organic profit growth of 30 per cent.
Over on Ofex, Po Na Na, which runs a chain of African-style late night drinking and dancing holes in London and Oxford put on 1p to 82p. Luminar, the theme bar and discotheque group which caters for thirtysomething party goers is rumoured to be preparing a bid. Luminar shares gained 8.5p to 533.5p.
