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.WITH Williams losing one of its founders, BTR's new generation finding it hard to follow the old, Hanson's old guard finding it hard to hand over to the new, and Tomkins suffering indigestion from Ranks Hovis McDougall, Wassall has become the fastest-growing company in the conglomerates sector, almost by default.
But is the group, headed by former Hanson acolytes, going to deliver the goods? It came unstuck on Evode and, like Williams, could do with a decent deal. Meanwhile, it has come to the attention of Nikko Securities, whose analyst Stephen Kirk rates Wassall a buy at 254p.
