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.Transport Development is attracting attention. The shares improved a further 2.5p to 203.5p, just below their 12-month high. They have gently recovered from the 162.5p low hit in August on disappointment with interim figures. There is talk of a second-half improvement and the inevitable bid speculation is around.
Utilitec, a gas and water services group in the red last year, should produce profits of pounds 3.65m this year and pounds 5.2m next, believes Charterhouse Tilney. The shares, which have moved between 100p and 36.5p since March, fell 1p to 43.5p.
Boustead, the cash shell, is due to return to market later this month following its takeover of a Hong Kong construction group. The shares were last traded at 16p.
