Jefferies and UBS B have bought some of their own shares at prices above Jefferies’ price - suggesting to me that B sees current share price as a buying opportunity.
Jefferies and UBS Jefferies reported to price B at £19, while UBS puts it at £21.71. The market puts a lot of faith in analysts yet is it justified based on record?

How many companies increasing revenue? Valid points but some of the negative cash movement is down to HMRC advance tax payments.
How many companies increasing revenue? I guess not so many, but Burberry’s numbers were by no means that good. In fact if you look at the cash flow, that went in reverse compared to last year and the result was a fall in their cash position from some £837M in March down to £670M. During the period they also closed 17 stores and the net store reduction was 8 stores, having added 7, resulting in an increase in their spending commitments. On the income and revenue side, £10M of the 26week income was due to favourable currency swings, so the growth in income from £147M to £172M this year could read £162/147M – or a growth of 10% – commendable but underserved of a 9% stock jump – in fact it has fallen back to a gain of around 3.5% as I type. Net Assets are also falling – they were £1.47BN in March - now £1.27Bn No alarm signals at all amongst this lot, but it isn’t as stellar as the dressing up of the statements will have you believe.
