Following a change in my personal circumstances, I am stepping away from investment-related media activity. That means that I will no longer be able to participate in the Twin Petes Investing podcast or to publish investing-related media activity.
S&U (#SUS) has published their interim results indicating: ✅️ Revenue +11% to £57.3m ✅️ Pre-tax profit +0.6% to £15.7m ✅️ Earnings per share +1.3% to 96.8p I continue to hold.
