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.Serif, the struggling security printer, responded to boardroom changes with a 0.5p gain to 2.5p, highest since March. Two directors have moved in, including John Gulliver who, with friends, has built a 20 per cent-plus share stake.
Serif has found the going tough for years; it has made losses for five years but did swing into profits, thanks to a disposal, in the first half of its current year. Besides striving to improve Serif's trading it is expected Mr Gulliver will attempt to inject assets into what is little more than a shell.
Watch Royal Doulton, the tableware group. New chief executive Patrick Wenger is reorganising, including cutting the board and workforce, and stockbroker Granville Davies rates the shares a buy at 206.5p.
