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.Planned takeover of Sibir Energy by its largest shareholder, Pentex, has been put back. The delay is due to Sibir's acquisition of a 20 per cent stake in a company developing oil fields in western Siberia. Pentex floated Sibir, unchanged at 35.5p, as a vehicle for its oil interests in the former Soviet Union.
Rebus, the computer services group spun off from insurance broker CE Heath is belatedly catching up with the IT re-rating, firming 4.5p to 108.5p. One investment house has a 150p year-end target, arguing the price would be 250p on US valuations.
Colin Blackbourn, a stockbroker with a knack of picking winners, has taken a 3.1 per cent stake in Tadpole Technology, one of the walking wounded. The shares rose 2.5p to 13p - they were once 408.5p.
