#Brent #SP500 A few months ago, we published an optimistic outlook for Spirent, absolutely none of which has come to fruition! Instead, the share price has bumbled along, doing very little of actual interest. The really strange threat of takeover of the company is being clouded, due to some interesting news reports in recent weeks.
Companies such as UBS, Societe Generale, JPMorgan, and Barclays has been buying into Spirent in sufficient quantities which demand a public report, an RNS, is released. While we’d love to suggest such a collection of luminaries could be relied upon to provide a reliable indication as to share price direction, historically they’ve all be guilty of some fairly large “oops” moments when trading shares, therefore reducing our confidence in their interest. Plus, there’s always the risk these predators will off-load their shareholdings in small increments, taking advantage of price movements due to buying frenzies from folks who think they’re getting in at the bottom of something good.
Should this be the corporate strategy, there are early signs they’ve made a mistake. Spirent share price is finally giving off some signs it’s about to move!
From a relatively near term perspective, it looks like movement above 201p should trigger a share price surge to an initial 205p with our secondary, if bettered, a more profitable 215p. Such a movement is liable to prove significant, creating a situation where recovery to an eventual 289p shall be regarded as a viable ambition. In such a scenario, there’s a reasonable probability 238p shall provide some hesitation is a longer term growth map, the share price stalling at a level previously achieved back in 2023.
To cancel such a potential, the share needs wither below 187p.
Share price movement below 187p looks a bit troubling, calculating with the potential of reversal to an initial 180p with our secondary, if broken, at 172p and a price level where some sort of bounce is expected.
For now, we’re inclined to favour market movements which indicate optimism, rather than questionable corporate manoeuvres. We’re fascinated at some of Spirent’s activities and a bit puzzled at the lack of real movement in their share price. But overall, we’re still interested, especially due to recent price movements.

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.
