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.

SHARES in BTR fell 9.5 per cent last week as analysts on a visit to the company's US businesses grew concerned about the outlook for the markets in which the company operates. No pickup is expected in the near future.

The company - which makes car-parts, industrial motors and controls systems - is active in the US car market. This is expected to fall next year and analysts are coming to the realisation that their profit estimates are too high. There are likely to be a number of downgrades in the next few weeks.

In September, the company reported a first-half loss per share of 6.3p down from 9.1p last year. Copyright: IOS and Bloomberg
