Bazzaman, sorry, have only just read your posts from last week. Was just about to say that I haven't posted here for a while and thought I'd check back and can't believe that it was as far back as 2013! It's not the busiest of boards, only had to go back 3 pages here to find that post lol! Thanks for the link and agree, cracking results and good to see the market recognising value here.

Bermuda, thanks for sharing. Nigel is a real gentlemen and so passionate about his company. I am so pleased with the results and the uplift in SP and long may it continue. As always DYOR but GLA to shareholders.

Great RNS today, clearly leaked yesterday but all the same a great rise, divi & exceeding expectations for 18/19. GLA
Looking good at long last. GLA
With sales rising at double-digits and profits recovering I get feeling this is a recovery stock. Along with a new Harry Potter novel for next year and cash balance building up, then I won�t be surprise if the shares were to recover to �2.50. But, as always DYOR.

Those read very well!!. Any thoughts ?.
Nice recent rise with ex-div on 24th August suggesting this may climb to around 190. GLA
Hovering around a fall yesterday and down 3.67% today. Any ideas why? What does the market know?
Book shop sales increasing (Reported in recent Daily Mail article) .....Amazon book sales also increasing.
Agree this is an undervalued share by some margin, 195 should be achiveable March, with 220 soon to follow if Draghi gets his QE package up and running.
Bounced off £1.50 twice before. We are here again a third time. Now is the time to get in here. Great finals due in May. Increase in revenue and profit making this share massively undervalued. This should be worth at least £2.20. Big final divi due after results providing further catalyst. A bargain at this price. This is a sceaming buy.
in with a nice dividend coming
Hold Bloomsbury as academic expansion pays off: Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury reported a solid set of annual results last week, and the strong cash generation and steady dividend. Book sales were given a boost with a 29% growth in the boy wizard titles that were reissued with new cover illustrations. Children’s and educational titles increased revenue by 13%, to £26.6 million, for the year, and this helped offset a weaker performance in adult books, where revenue was down 10% to £49.9 million. The company’s shares collapsed in 2007 after bestsellers slumped during the crisis. The company is rapidly increasing revenue from academic titles and bought law publisher Hart in 2013. For the group as a whole, the pretax profits edged higher, to £9.6 million to the end of February, up from £9.5 million a year earlier. Revenue also crept up 1% to £111.1 million during the year. This steady performance gave management the confidence to increase the annual dividend by 5% to 6.1p per share, with the final instalment going ex-dividend on Aug 26, and will be paid on Sept 23. City experts are predicting that full year pretax profits will increase to £12.7 million, on revenue up to £116 million, giving about 13.6p in earnings per share. Bloomsbury isn’t delivering stellar growth rates, but then with a steady profit performance and dividend income it doesn’t have to. Questor says “HOLD”.

Another share where the MMs are not prepared to work for their money. Very hard to buy, is it very illiquid?
lower on no trading update suggests Xmas may have been disappointing. This time last year the interim results were already out.
Sell Bloomsbury as profits halve: Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury struggled to repeat the success of last year’s bestsellers with first half profits down by more than half. Sales of titles from the Adult division, including And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini and cookery books such as Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes, were down 17% to £19.3 million in the first six months ended August, from £23.2 million, on the same period last year. Children’s and educational books performed better, with sales up 8% to £11.2 million and academic publishing edged up 1% to £14 million in the first half. Bloomsbury has greatly reduced its exposure to the fickle consumer market and now generates more than half of the group’s annual sales, and 62% of the gross profit, from outside adult book publishing. Bloomsbury spent £9 million in cash beefing up the academic publishing arm in the first half of the year. This reduced net cash to £2.8 million at the end of August, down from £10 million at the end of February this year. The festive season is by far the most important trading period for Bloomsbury. The publisher has lined up some big titles including spin-off TV cookery book Paul Hollywood’s British Baking. But the indications from first half trading are not encouraging as group revenue fell to £46.6 million, from £49.2 million in the same period last year. Market Consensus is for pretax profits to increase 28% to £12.2 million for the year ended February, giving 13.2p in earnings per share. Given the soft consumer environment, that looks challenging. After recommending buying shares in May of last year at 118p, it looks prudent to take profits, given the gloomy economic outlook. Bloomsbury Publishing at 154.25p-6p Questor Says ‘Sell’.
