#Gold #FTSE It is certainly unusual to find ourselves being enthusiastic about a British publishing company but Informa Plc certainly break the mould, their confection of complementary activities creating a company which is collectively solid with some quite enviable activities. Their share price potentials currently echo our positive take on the organisation, a company formed in 1998 just 26 years ago.
The share price has struggled, since the inevitable enforced artificial hammering due to Covid-19 in 2020. However, something potentially very interesting has just occurred, due to the share price closing at 884, a potentially significant number. Obviously, it has achieved a “higher high” since the peaks of earlier this year but more importantly, the downtrend since 2019 has now been exceeded. To explain, this downtrend is currently at 883.528 and with the share closing a session at 884p it sends off – from our perspective – a flare urging us to pay attention. While the excess above the downtrend in only around half a penny, this is the sort of thing the market does not allow to happen accidentally, creating a situation where we can speculate a super long term attraction as now coming from a distant 1235p!
Another important aspect of the current share price comes from the pre-pandemic high being at 867p. With this share price breaking above such a level, it also broadcasts an important signal of things changing for the future, ticking another important optimism box.
From an immediate perspective, above 893p should next trigger movements to an initial 923 with our longer term secondary, if bettered, at 973p and some possible hesitation.
For things to go wrong, the share price needs slip below 800p to trigger reversals to an initial 753 with our secondary, if broken, at a bottom of 678p and almost certain hesitation. Unfortunately, such a poisonous movement would also emplace the share price below the uptrend since 2020, making recovery difficult as this would risk stuffing the share into sticky mud while awaiting positive news to propel it out of the mess.
For now, we’re fairly positive about this. It’s not promising huge percentage changes, but the jump from current levels to our modest 973p still cannot be ignored.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading. Hopefully, this will mean you no longer need to flip back through previous reports. HYPERLINKS DISABLED IN THIS VERSION
Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
