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.Dealings are due to start on the fringe Ofex share market on Monday in Advance Digital Communications, latest offering from the Ruegg & Co. investment house. Shares were sold at 20p giving a capitlisation of pounds 7m. The offer was heavily oversubscribed. ADC, started in 1982, specialises in visual communications for corporate events. "Illustrative financial projections" suggests profits of pounds 2.1m this year and pounds 6.6m next.
Graham, the builders merchant, should lift profits from pounds 21.3m to pounds 27.5m this year and produce pounds 35m next year, believe stockbroker Albert E Sharp. The shares firmed to 177p. They were floated at 183p four years ago. Since then the price has touched 217p and been as low as 119p. The analyst Robert Griffiths is keen on the shares but believes the group is unlikely to be a prime takeover target in any industry consolidation.
