Daily Stock Market Report (Mon 29th December 2025) - IPF, IES, EMAN, CNS
Good morning! I hope you've been enjoying the festive season. It's wonderful to see how active the forum has been over the past week.
Let's see what today's RNS has for us... these end of year reports can be quite fun, as they often turn into a policing exercise, i.e. studying companies who have tried to sneak out bad results when few are watching, or simply to avoid suspension!
I don't see anything else where I can make a sensible comment today, so I'll leave it there. If I don't speak to you again before 2026, then I hope you enjoy the New Year's Celebrations - unless you are one of those people who goes to bed early on New Year's Eve, in which case I wish you a good night's sleep!
