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.

o.Surrey Group, the betting shop chain that is seemingly one of the market's perennial penny shares, is still a long way from the winners' enclosure. But it is expected to move significantly into the black later this month. At its interim stage it achieved profits of pounds 45,000 against a pounds 57,000 loss. Its last profit - just pounds 5,000 - was in 1992. The shares, once more than 16p, held at 1.25p with more than a million printed.

o.Gibbon, a printing ink maker, jumped 30p to 170p after a 21 per cent profits advance to pounds 2.05m. Around pounds 2.4m seems likely this year. The company, headed by Michael Gibbon, is looking for acquisitions. In the second half of its year it put through price increases and expects to lift them again shortly. The shares came to market years ago - at 72p.
