On the rapid increase....a price of 282.50 just went through..
Thanks beaverburger., yeh I saw the ARM announcement, very interesting if the guys over the pond start seeing the fall in sterling as an M&A opportunity for UK stocks.
If some of the big boys who invested in this at 200-220 decide to go for a walk then it will drop. However, my guess is that they are waiting for another bid to come through especially as the business is 10-15% cheaper due to devaluation than it was a month ago to foreign acquisitors. Today's ARM deal is only the start of a flurry of foreign buys.
I've held this share for some time and am considering my exist strategy. Its seems to be creeping up, I guess towards the ex-div date. Does anyone foresee, economic, political or otherwise any reason for a large(7%) drop in shareprice before mid Aug?
I have held IOM for a number of years and in the past the share price has dropped after the results almost every year from what I can remember. This year it has gone up and I note that liontrust have announced today that they have increased their holding to over 15%, very interesting.
Another great set of results, Finncap have raised price target from 340 to 360.
Morning. Please find below a short TV interview with iomart FD Richard Logan: http://fmp-tv.co.uk/company/iomart-group-plc-investor-relations-videos-and-news/
What's behind the rise? UK market and Sterling heading south, but still Iomart continues to rise..
1.9m options granted to executive directors with exercise price of 1p. Ridiculous! What are the non-execs playing at? The CEO already has 17m shares. Is he really going to be more incentivised as a result of options over another 800,000 shares?
Very happy to be wrong about market reaction to today's trading update. Just hope SP strength continues.
The market is always disappointed with the results, no matter how good they are. I suspect there will be a small drop followed by a continued increase. Brokers are still expecting £3.40 and I see no reason why this can't be met this year.
Solid but unexciting pre-close trading statement. Results to be in line with market consensus. I suspect the market will be a bit disappointed.
Looking back over a few years, this share always does well leading up to results, then drops by as much as 20% once the results are out, no matter how good they are. If I was thinking of getting out, I would hope it would be back over 300p a couple of days before the results are due. If I was intending to hold longer term, I wouldn't worry about the post-results dip, as long as the results themselves are good, and point he way to a promising future.
Question is do we get out before results like we should of done last time?
SP has been pretty resilient since the January dip. I'm optimistic they will beat market expectations - the question is by how much.
Not long until the next trading update now
any reason for the rise? dont want to get ahead of myself but the orderbook does look good...
Some massive sales went through, so overhang has cleared?
Not sure, china, oil price, global recession but why IOM fall so much, but many high flyers come back down to earth lately, seems to be bouncing up now. Should have sold at 300p, oh well.
Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on? Everything I've read points to a bullish year in the cloud computing industry...
Wish i took my profits
Liked this bit the most TCL also anticipates that total revenues for public cloud services will “increase rapidly” over the same period by more than three times to $82 billion, as more end users come on-board.

Liontrust bought 165,312 shares, but not reported as buy. What were all those sells about? Now 2p up reflecting this buy, as though the sells never happened. Computer got its wires in a twist?
All will be revealed, no doubt. 3 of the big deals went thru as sells twice 159,600 1,322,400 and 526,000. All at the same price 244.51. ie first sell second buy. If these trades via a broker there would be a difference in price, so Private Deals? Major share holders Liontrust (13.5%) or Toscafund (10.1%) would have to go thru a broker creating a price difference which leaves ce MacSween (15.9%) as the trader. Mebbe he is giving the shares to his kids. Just about anything else would probably be illegal in some way. But, Trading in this coy has been weird for ages now. Fingers crossed and best of luck to those holding this stock.
8m shares dumped in aftermarket auction?! F%!k, i wonder what price this will open at tomorrow?
