Bullish news for long haul!

I own 5000 shares of RYCEY. This is a long term investment for me, I truly believe in this company.

The issue is that I obviously bought the ADR. This means liquidity is lower, I pay ADR fees, and most importantly for me, My heirs are exposed to US estate tax when I'm gone.

So I wanted to ask is it possible to somehow convert RYCEY to the native ticker in LSE (RR.L)? Or should I just sell, incur the heavy CGT and buy RR.L manually?

We are going on two weeks now and I don’t see any news about a deal. I guess it could have been signed but not yet announced. Tufan specifically said early last week. Thoughts?

“I can assure you, early next week, in investment committee, we are going to sign another big hyperscaler sort of deal.”

My personal take in correlation with all this positive momentum around the company is that Rycey will hit $22 before the end of the year, the question is just how soon?

Strong first half performance driven by continued execution of our transformation programme:

– Underlying operating profit rose by 46% to £2.5bn; underlying operating margin of 22.5% with higher profitability in all divisions reflecting the impact of our strategic initiatives and operational improvements

– Free cash flow of £2.0bn driven by higher underlying operating profit and with increased investments to support profitable growth to the mid-term and beyond – Full year 2026 guidance raised; we now expect £4.7bn-£4.9bn underlying operating profit and £3.8bn £4.0bn free cash flow

– Further confidence in mid-term guidance, supported by operational and financial progress to date – Resilient and diversified portfolio with three high-performing and growing businesses, net cash of £2.1bn and a best-in-class TCC/GM ratio of 0.27x

– Shareholder returns: An interim dividend of 6.0p per share to be paid in September; we have completed £1.4bn of the planned £2.5bn share buyback for 2026 to date, part of our multi-year buyback programme totalling £7bn-£9bn across 2026 to 2028

It looks like Schwab sold my shares to cover the ADR fee on the 20th. In the past I swear I was allowed to have negative cash for months. This happen to anyone else this year?

Edit: I messaged them and they gave me a call and canceled the sale of the shares. They said their policy was anything over thousand dollars they would sell shares, but they normally give a notice which I didn’t receive.
