Good morning from Paul, Jon, and Alun!

These tables are easy to produce in real-time on Sharescope - here’s my Sharescope discount sign-up page.
Key news items which the team thinks are likely to move share prices the most, good and bad. Usually published from 7:30 to 8:00
Spire Healthcare (SPI) - PUSU extended, confirms Tosca’s due diligence done, and sounds very close to progressing to a proper bid at 250p.
(down 2% by lunch)
Gamma Communications (GAMA) - RNS at 11:00 - “Preliminary stage” discussions underway with several parties re a possible offer for Gamma. Giacom & Waterland Private Equity named as a consortium considering a bid. Other unnamed parties (plural!) also discussing bids. So Gamma very much in play now.
(up 9% by lunch)
Springfield Properties (SPR) - positive market reaction to news it will use surplus cash to buy back shares below NAV, using existing authority.
(up 4% by lunch)
Hunting (HTG) - profit warning. FY12/26 guidance lowered -15% by co & -20% by Canaccord, due to delay to KOC tender. Shares likely to take a tumble.
(spiked down c.20% first thing, now stabilised at down 13% by 13:18)
eEnergy (EAAS) - delayed receipts, so being propped up with small shareholder loans. Looks wobbly, so I’m flagging the dilution risk by moving to RED until finances fixed.
(down 18% by lunch)
