New members in 90% club
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.Barratt Developments, Bradford & Bingley and Taylor Wimpey have tumbled into the 90 per cent club in a sign of suffering in the housing sector, according to market research firm DigitalLook.com.
The club is made up of companies whose shares are worth just 10 per cent of their peak value over the past three years.
Barratt languishes at 131.2p compared to its three-year peak of 1,289p, while Taylor Wimpey is at 50.5p, down from a 518p high, and B&B lies at 54.7p, down from its height of 536p, and just below the rights issue price. Only 20 to 30 per cent of the shares offered by B&B in its recent £400m issue are believed to have been taken up by investors.
Andy Yates, director of DigitalLook.com said: "Some people might see the 90 per cent club as a portent of impending doom but you could equally see it as a positive sign."
