City File: Stake disposal takes shine off Mirror
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.LORNA TILBIAN at SG Warburg has become strongly bullish of Mirror Group Newspapers. Anticipating its return to paying dividends, she says the shares are a buy up to 220p (they are currently 168p).
The question is, when will MGN resume payment? Its current banking arrangement precludes pay-outs, but MGN is renegotiating and hopefully it should be able to announce a new agreement with its half- time results next month.
The boost from resumed payments, though, has to be balanced against the 54.8 per cent stake held by the administrators of the Maxwell private companies. This is due to be placed in the market in the near future. MGN's shares look good value, but with so many soon to be sold, they are not worth chasing.
