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.EMI, one of the market's takeover plays, could be tuning in to GWR, the ambitious commercial radio group. It has acquired 4 million shares, increasing its stake to 13.58 per cent. The shares were probably picked up when Capital Radio sold its 12.9 per cent interest on Monday. GWR, where the Daily Mail and General Trust sits on 19.2 per cent, held at 189p.
Wiggins, the property group, is holding investment meetings. The company is no doubt drawing attention to its successful take over of Tomorrow's Leisure.
Early this year it paid pounds 12m for the 75 per cent it did not already own. It has since sold TL's two hotels for pounds 12.8m and still has large chunks of TL land including the Liverpool Gardens Festival site. Wiggins firmed to 10.5p.
