Market Report: Taking Stock
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.Spring Ram, the bathrooms and kitchens group, firmed 1.5p to 14.25p as chairman Roger Regan, called in four years ago to pull the loss maker around, picked up 1 million shares at 13.5p, almost doubling his stake. The group may edge into the black this year and a recent pounds 15m Leeds property sale, which will cut borrowings, should help. Five years ago the shares nudged 140p.
Victrex, the chemical group, survived sell advice from stockbroker Sutherlands, little changed at 235p. With the Far East representing 10 per cent of sales the broker expects another "flattish" year
Building materials group Lilleshall rose 10p to 82.5p after Knox D'arcy Trust, the management group interested in special situations, picked up at a 4.67 per cent stake.
