Market Report: Taking Stock
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.INCEPTA, the public relations consultancy headed by entrepreneur Bob Morton, continues to threaten Lopex, the advertising group. It has lifted its stake to just over 15 per cent, buying 2.2 million shares. Last year Incepta opened takeover talks with Lopex but they broke down after a few weeks. Lopex rose 5.5p to 38p; Incepta shaded to 22.25p.
SNAKEBOARD International, where former tennis star David Lloyd is in command, is in talks to take over an unquoted leisure group. Mr Lloyd, who moved in nearly 18 months ago, made more than pounds 20m when he sold his fitness business to Whitbread. Snakeboard limps along at 0.75p.
BRITISH Thornton returned following the reverse pounds 12m take over of Planit, a point of sale software group. The shares closed at 30p against a 25.5p suspension price.
