Douglas Alexander and Kate Forbes have both planned separate summits
The Scottish and UK governments have invited each other to meetings amid confusion over efforts to support the closure-threatened chemical plant at Mossmorran.
Deputy first minister Kate Forbes is to meet with owners ExxonMobil at the Fife ethylene site on Tuesday, aiming to set up a taskforce alongside Scottish Enterprise.
But Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander has called for Forbes to instead join a group led by Fife Council, and to attend a meeting of local business leaders set for Monday.
The plant is due to close in February, with 179 directly employed jobs at risk alongside those of 250 contractors.

The Fife plant is due to close in February
Forbes was first to announce a summit, saying on Sunday morning that she would visit the plant alongside Scottish Enterprise while inviting groups including unions, the council and the UK government to meet on Tuesday.
Ms Forbes said: “Our immediate priority is to explore way to retain employment at the site and support the workforce through this period of uncertainty.
“In the meantime, this summit will bring together all the key stakeholders and I am keen that we consider every possible option to support the workforce at this distressing time.”
Alexander then wrote to her saying she should get on board with a council-led taskforce instead, saying there should be a “Team Scotland” approach to supporting the workforce.
Alexander said it was an incredibly difficult time for workers and he hoped the government will attend the meeting.
He said: “I look forward to meeting Fife Council tomorrow to discuss how working together we can all best support the workers, mitigate the impact of the closure on the wider Fife economy, and look at alternative uses for the site.
“It is right that the response is focussed on local needs, and has clear governance structures.”
Staff were told about plans to cease operations at the Fife site during a meeting on Tuesday morning, where details of financial packages and retraining and relocation support were discussed.
There is a possibility of 50 staff transferring to the Fawley Petrochemical Complex 480 miles (780km) away in Hampshire.
Contractors at the plant told BBC Scotland News that the closure announcement came as a shock.
The site has produced ethylene for about 40 years through a process known as thermal or steam cracking.
Exxon Mobil said it had been seeking a buyer for several months and it would clean up and then demolish the site once production ends.
This bizarre display of synchronised summitry would almost be funny if there weren’t hundreds of jobs on the line.
The Scottish and UK governments actually do have a history of working together on issues like this, having jointly committed hundreds of millions of pounds to efforts to secure a green future for Grangemouth.
However, in this case they seem to be talking past each other and communicating by press release.
Fife is a key battleground between the SNP and Labour, and both are clearly keen to be seen to stand up for local workers. They both immediately announced they would set up taskforces, apparently without coordinating their efforts.
Ultimately this is a serious enough issue that following this flurry of meetings they will surely get their ducks in a row and figure out a way to cooperate.
But Grangemouth is also a reminder that if the private company behind the plant decide it’s shutting, there’s little that any government can do to change that, short of stumping up vast sums to nationalise it.
Finding alternative employment and supporting the workforce into new roles is going to end up being the true test of the “just transition” that is so often talked about.

Ever wondered if Maplebear stock is trading at a price that’s a true bargain, or if there’s more risk than meets the eye? You’re not alone. We’re about to break it all down for you.
Maplebear’s share price has seen subtle shifts lately. It ticked up 2.7% over the last month, even after a slight dip of 2.1% in the past week, and it’s down 6.6% since the start of the year.
Headlines surrounding Maplebear have brought both excitement and fresh questions as investors digest both opportunity and uncertainty. Recent news has focused on the company’s evolving partnerships and ambitious plans for expanding its on-demand model, which have caught the attention of market watchers and may be helping to shape short-term price trends.
On our 6-point valuation scale, Maplebear clocks in at a 2 out of 6, signaling it’s undervalued on two key measures. We’ll unpack what each approach reveals in detail. Make sure to stick around for a smarter way to size up the company’s value at the end of the article.
Maplebear scores just 2/6 on our valuation checks. See what other red flags we found in the full valuation breakdown.
A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation model estimates what a company is really worth by projecting its future free cash flows and discounting them back to today’s value. This helps investors cut through short-term market noise and focus on the business’s underlying ability to generate cash.
For Maplebear, the DCF uses the 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. Currently, Maplebear generates Free Cash Flow (FCF) of $878.8 Million. Analyst estimates project FCF to increase to $1,080.88 Million by 2029, with further growth anticipated in the following years based on modeled extrapolations.
Simply Wall St’s DCF analysis values Maplebear’s stock at $94.63 per share. With the current market price reflecting a 57.5% discount to this intrinsic value, the analysis indicates that Maplebear is significantly undervalued according to future cash flow projections.

Head to the Valuation section of our Company Report for more details on how we arrive at this Fair Value for Maplebear.
The Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio is a popular metric for valuing profitable companies like Maplebear because it reflects how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings. It balances market sentiment with the company’s demonstrated ability to generate profits, making it solid for gauging value in established, earnings-generating firms.
That said, a “normal” or “fair” PE ratio isn’t fixed. It shifts depending on growth expectations and risk. Companies with faster earnings growth or lower risk usually trade at higher PE ratios. Those with uncertain futures may see their multiples dip, even if their profits look strong today.
Currently, Maplebear trades at a PE of 20.89x, which is almost identical to its Consumer Retailing industry average of 20.89x and slightly higher than the typical peer average of 19.35x. According to Simply Wall St’s proprietary Fair Ratio, an advanced calculation recognizing Maplebear’s earnings growth, profit margins, risk profile, market cap, and its industry context, the “fair” PE for Maplebear stands at 17.78x.
The Fair Ratio is a step up from simple peer or industry comparisons. It considers not just market benchmarks but also deeper company qualities and risks that matter for a true assessment of value. Comparing Maplebear’s actual PE ratio of 20.89x with its Fair Ratio of 17.78x suggests the stock is trading at a premium to what is justified by its unique fundamentals and risk.

Earlier we mentioned there is an even better way to understand valuation, so let’s introduce you to Narratives. Narratives are a simple yet powerful tool that lets investors connect the company’s story with their own expectations, translating their view on Maplebear’s future revenues, earnings, and margins directly into a financial forecast and a fair value.
Instead of just looking at static numbers, Narratives help you articulate your perspective. For example, you might believe Maplebear will outpace the industry thanks to AI efficiency, or you might worry that competition and regulation will slow growth. Each Narrative lives inside the Simply Wall St Community page, making it accessible and interactive for millions of investors around the globe.
What makes Narratives so useful is their dynamic nature. Whenever fresh news, such as new partnerships, product launches, or updated earnings, hits the market, your Narrative’s fair value automatically updates to reflect the latest facts. This means you always have an up-to-date benchmark to compare against Maplebear’s current share price and judge whether it is time to buy, sell or hold.
For example, one Narrative might forecast Maplebear’s value as high as $67 per share, assuming booming digital orders and major ad growth, while a more cautious Narrative could see fair value closer to $42, reflecting stronger competition and tighter margins.
