Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

BROKER Albert E Sharp says prospects for Time Products are even better than the market thinks. Sharp has upgraded its profits forecast by pounds 0.5m to pounds 10.3m after Time's disposal of a property in Hong Kong - the relic of an unsuccessful move into watchmaking - at a surplus of pounds 1.5m over book value.

This leaves Time well placed as a distributor of watches (Longines, Sekonda etc) and owner of the Judith Leiber range of luxury handbags. At 221p, the shares are a snip on less than 14 times 1993 earnings, with more to come in 1994.
