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.PEX, the sock maker being revamped by Italian aristocrat Andrea Cattaneo Della Volta, could be near to a significant deal. It is thought to be hoping to buy a clothing group for cash and shares. Even before the deal, which could be in the pounds 2.5m range, PEX has been pulled back to profits, with research group Hardman & Co forecasting pounds 480,000 this year. The shares are 5p, pricing PEX, which had sales of pounds 11.6m last year, at only pounds 3.9m.
Standard Platform, the struggling document imaging group, is the vehicle bringing Henry Lewis' Action Computer to market. Its shares were suspended at 15.5p.
Treats, the ice lolly maker, should enjoy a warm reception when it arrives today. The shares should top 180p against a 174p placing.
