HYPTUSS: Electrocomponents name and Ticker change

Post by Breelander »

HYPTUSS users need to be aware that Electrocomponents (ECM) will be called RS Group (RS1) from tomorrow morning on...
The Company's stock market TIDM will become RS1 from 8:00 am (UK time) tomorrow, 4 May 2022. Our ISIN will remain unchanged.

Thanks Bree.
I'll wait a few days before updating the Company Data Sheet since most websites have not yet updated.

In the meantime, if you just change column C of the Company Data Sheet from ECM to RS1, you will get updated price from Yahoo. You'll also need to change Column C of the High Yield Portfolio sheet.

Why oh why do companies have to make these trivial and meaningless changes :(

Thanks.

Both my on-line portfolios have made the change automatically, including retaining my transactions history from when it was ECM. I expected nothing less from the FT Portfolio, but I was fully expecting my DigitalLook Portfolio to need some manual intervention - apparently not ;)

So that just leaves my own spreadsheets to fix....
