Royal Mail (RMG) Share Price London Stock Exchange 22 Oct, 2014

At a glance Royal Mail share prices have been dwindling over the past year, but have taken a decidedly favourable turn since the beginning of October when prices plummeted.

Today the stock opened at 441.80 and has been making sideways movement since.

The stock is forecasted by investors and analysts as a hold with a few leaning towards a buy recommendation.

Chief Executive Officer Moya Greene made demands today for heightened efforts to get more talented women in the running for top business positions and better child care options to help them succeed. Greene’s call for action comes in the wake of the 25 by 25 event launch, an Egon Zehnder initiative to see women account for 25% of FTSE 100 chief executives by 2025. The statement, while instilling interest, will need more than its words to help the struggling stock regain ground lost earlier in October.
