How to Lead When the Market Ignores Good News | Profiling UK Public Leaders

In this conversation, Mo Khan, Chief Executive Officer of hVIVO explains why he stopped letting the share price run his business, and why creating real value doesn't always mean the market recognises it. He makes the case that the old model of delivering on your numbers and waiting for the market to follow no longer holds, reflecting on releasing the largest contract win in the company's history to almost no share price movement. He argues you can't paint all retail investors with the same brush, that the information gap between institutions and retail is closing fast, and that any healthy market needs both. He also shares how he gets real value from his brokers by treating them as a key supplier, running bi-weekly calls with a live agenda, and remembering that advice is advice, not a decision. He closes on why the future of small-cap investing is less about gathering information and more about judgment, when everyone at the table has access to everything.
