Special situations
Strategic reviews, disposals, bids, activists, large orders and insider buying – each read from the company’s own announcement and weighed against its size.
Special dividends, tender offers and returns of capital announced, buyback programmes of 5% of the market value or more.
Newest first. Each situation is weighed against the company – the size of the event relative to its market value and revenue, who is involved and what happened before. Context is written by AI from the announcements and our data – check the source. Not investment advice.
