No rebuttal (as yet). PE too high for a consultancy outfit? (as opposed to a software one), therefore looks like a re-rating (downwards) could be on the cards for FDP.
dyor
It was not SP, they published a 47 page report by Matt Earl which I find credible, in view of around £250 million being wiped off market cap within a few days I would at least expect a detailed rebuttal from FDP if they consider Earl to be wrong.
Well I'll relax a bit - don't have any of those so your kiss of death remains at arms length. Poised to sell elsewhere and very tempted to buy more here. Got on board in a few tranches round about £15 quite a while ago so had been feeling quite smug with the subsequent rises. What exactly did share prophets say that caused such a reaction?
Iike this one Strudel. I think it will recover. Been one of my better ones. .I got Dkl Tstl Sound and Wizz as well as oxb. Mixed fortunes on those ones.
Check out ADVFN share chat for further info but it looks like an excuse for a short.
FallingK, what!?! You are here too - jinxing another one of my holdings. ;-) Please list your portfolio so I can look for matches and sell accordingly.
Share poppits has put the knife into the company and didn't even ask to borrow mine. Surprised anyone listens to their poop.
HI Whale. Large fall but not news driven. Hard to say what is behind it but the market is quite soggy overall. A buying opportunity?
What,s going on here ?
Read why future profit growth rate forecast won�t sustain First Derivative valuation for long: http://bit.ly/2L6kBPf
Excellent results and the fact that the share hasn;t been blown off course now the results and news are out there is equally pleasing.. Just breached 4300p this afternoon so we may be just moving up into a higher trading range. Orangetree thanks for your analysis old fruit but I only toodle pip to say to you dear boy.
You seem to do a lot of single posts on this site, all ending with your hypertext link just like your one below does. I haven't bothered clicking it, and have reported the post. Bye.
1). Long-term shareholders in First Derivative will know the company made them lots of money. Since 2010, the share price rose by 2,000%. 2). But, has the shares risen too far? Has the company fundament caught up to valuation? Is FD likely to face a correction? For more analysis, http://bit.ly/2ICFf8D
and it looks like this one is starting to see some positioning ahead of what should be a pretty good report. We might see 4000p breached today and a straedy move back to 4300p which is the all time high that I remember. Plenty to like an I ahve been accumulating at 3750p and 3900p as there is more to come here.
Investor55 there is a very good thread on the other board which will get you up to speed. KX was bought by FDP in a stroke of genius and we have only become to scratch the surface with what it can do. Kx is an ultra high speed processor of real time, streaming and historical date which FDP has harnessed. It is one of the reasons the SP is surging as the company moves beyond financial services. Kx alone would not have been able to get into the vertical markets that FDP is starting to penetrate.
#RBBe: I was searching for KX (Aim) when I read about the news but FDP came up! Do you mind telling me the relationship bw the two companies plz? Cheers bud.
Headline in The Telegraph today. Buy this 'big fast data' firm: it's one of the UK's few technology leaders
First Derivitives has acquired a Spanish telecoms company called Telconomics for £2.2m. Telconomics provides analytics, consulting and software products to telecommunications firms. It was formed in 2009. FD are targeting the telecoms market with its Kx technology.
And looking like this will go on a spurt. We have had our mini sell-off and past history tells us that this bounces back fast to go to new highs subsequently.
Hi Think. Thanks for that. Well pleased with JE. What do you reckon of the cup and handle on PRU? Handle forming nicely and volume decreasing? Near 20 SMA and other indicators look good IMO. Already in but watching to get some more at some stage. All the best DK
Hi Dale, JE char is typical cup and handle case. well done. thumb up.
See your point on the food shares; I suppose I have done OK on them so I am encouraged! The book I used to get me going on the charts was "How to make money in stocks" by William J O'neil. American author and based on US shares, but I found it very good. Heavy going in places and I therefore often refer back to it to give me some reminders. Big on "cups and handles" and "volume", but includes a lot more besides that, including a big section on when to sell (often my problem!). �12 on Amazon if I remember correctly! Hope to get in here in the next few days. All the best. DK
I love charting too Dale. I think it makes a lot of sense actually. I wish I could understand the more technical aspects but it is not an exact science, You like your food shares lol. I have avoided most of them. I did have a punt on Greene King because of the yield and last but one update, Unfortunately the last one was bad and blamed the rain. I am wary of shares that involve discressionary spending with an interest rate rise coming. I got BDEV myself and Urban and Civic with the former doing well and the latter paying good divis but hammered after 2007. There is good mileage on builders for sure and well worth trading.. Fdp is holding up well and I hope we can move up but only after you get your chance to buy
Like you, I also have some dogs, but mainly in the high risk part of my investments - AIM miners are quite fun provided that you have solid nerves and don't put too much in. Anyway, I seem to make a quid or two along the way which after all is the idea and I am enjoying learning a new skill - recently been looking into "charting" a bit more and it is beginning to make some sense (showed this one as a good buy just before the recent rise). Most of my losses have come from unexpected turn-arounds (on news) and poor timing of buys and sells. I seem to be sorting this latter issue out, I am glad to say. Made most on my builders, most of which I trade a little whilst maintaining a long-term block of shares. Anyway, thanks again for the info on this one. My "pick of the day" is JE. which I bought into about a month or so ago - good figures today so a small celebration in order! All the best. DK
Hi Dale, No, please continue it is good to exchange info. No bother to me and in fact it is good for me to get a second opinion. You have only heard my good ones. I have some absolute dogs. Some were caused by Macro-economics, some by lack of research. But I really feel I am improving. I suppose the real test comes in a falling market. But I am not a falling knife for nothing :)
