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.Salomon Brothers has acquired a liking for Quality Software, which has had a torrid time since coming to market in 1993 at 380p. At one time the shares topped 700p but crashed to 185p when the group failed to deliver. Salomon has paid 245p for 4.8 per cent with the pounds 1.6m earmarked for working capital. The shares rose 15p to 255p.
Deltron Electronics is looking for buys in Germany and Italy following its pounds 4.3m acquisition of a Swedish group. It is already represented in France and Denmark. Floated at 150p the shares rose 2p to 118.5p. There are hopes profits will be pounds 3.3m (pounds 2.3m).
Wedderburn, easier at 19.5p, may have clinched another oil deal; details with a cash call could be out this week.
