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.

o Shares of IES, which develops electronic security equipment, have made dramatic progress even by the often rip-roaring standards of the soon-to-disappear 4.2 market. Last year they were 55p; now the price is around 680p. A hi-tech camera system that photographs users of cash dispensers has prompted the surge. The group made a pounds 271,000 profit in its last financial year. An AIM presence is planned.

o Riva, the loss-making electronic till maker, is seen as a recovery buy by stockbrokers John Siddall and Albert E Sharp. Siddall's Audrey Carroll looks for profits of pounds 500,000 this year while Sharp's Steven Robertson is on pounds 400,000, with pounds 1m next year. The group has had a difficult time, suffering heavy losses in recent years. The shares are 25p.
