Would imagine MMs are delighted with the additional stock Roll on tomorrow l
Nothing has changed. The sellers in background cleared nearly 800k of stock yesterday on Nexchange. Dyor.
That doesn't bode well for tomorrow…
I suspect just supply and demand for movement as a few sells quickly reduced any gains here. All the bumps in price here were timed with the buys shown on LSE. About 140k sold on here. 150k sold on Nexchange. 150k bought on Nexchange and 325k bought on LSE. Even at these prices still some strong buys. Share supply must be very limited. I still think at 4p this share is greatly undervalued.
Well very nice to see....is the rise due to a shortage of stock or more preferably a signal that we can expect a good set of results......can't wait to find out...
Takeover bid or background buyers? Suprised sp did not move on Friday. No one is selling here.
Gotrader, hope you are correct everything crossed in hope. If it reaches 6p I will be only 15k down
Wait and see for Thursday. If more buys arrive this will be 5p if results show a turnaround. Annoyed I didn't by more below 3p. 6p target for me longer term.
On Reflection I am changing my opinion to strong buy upto 5p
It looks like your recent comments are correct
In past 3 days between here and ISDX/(Nex Exchange) We have seen nearly 2m buys. With only 260k of sells. This is a huge change compared to the previous 4-7 weeks in which we had seen a persistant seller here dumping shares. I counted well over 2.3m shares sold on this site since early March. (Albeit some selll trades were buys.) Excluding the large sell at start of March for which we never saw a trade or RNS for. It's unclear if this is one seller or many PI just selling up. With shares now getting short on supply an improved result would quickly see this share rise. Especially if existing major stakeholders start buying in here. So far only Gary Wyatt and Bob have been buying in terms of RNS/TR1. The unknown is if will we get any trading details for 2017 in the results or if we have to wait for June or September for these?? See what happens next week. A positive trading statement could help cover any losses likely on Thursday. Very unlikely to turn around a 1.9m paper loss. So far they have been rather stuborn in releasing any details.
Looks like I replied the wrong thread. If you can't buy stock online you call up your broker. Your broker should usually be able to place the order on the trading floor. It's always worked for me and friends in the past. The person who bought 266k of stock today clearly did that. Especially true when online sites suggests there is no stock available. The shortage of stock could be a good sign if results are better than expected. Then again maybe the seller is simply waiting for demand to fall? Why would you sell when it's clear the MM appear to be short of stock? Fingers crossed for Thursday. We could use some good news here.
To top up call broker. Only way to buy at present. Always works. Won't work presently online. The other thing to do is buy below 50k of stock. Strong demand in background.
I noticed this too. Was like it the other day as well although seems some are succeeding. I can sell my holding at a premium to the bid but can't buy any more than £800 worth.
Something different is afoot most probably.....been trying to top up but can only sell at the moment......results next week should tell us more....
We'll soon find out. 21.5m would be impressive.
If those numbers are right, and no idea if they are, then that implies they did at least £21.5m rev in H2/16. That would be just based on Newgate's numbers. That would be a good result, which makes me think we would have heard about it already if it were true.
http://www.holmesreport.com/ranking-and-data/global-pr-agency-rankings/2017-pr-agency-rankings/top-250 From 61-41. Revenue up 63%. http://www.holmesreport.com/ranking-and-data/global-pr-agency-rankings/2017-pr-agency-rankings/fast-movers Fastest growing PR agency above 30M. Mainly from acquisitions. They are 4th globally when you include those under $30M. Overall these ranking seem positive but how much due to PPS and Newgate merging?
Just noticed a 250k late buy at 3.4p. More stock gobbled up here. So nearly 1.172m shares bought today with 140k sold. Directors would be locked out before results. Porta's twitter and website have been very busy today. See what next week brings.
I topped up under 3p today. My holdings is growing quickly here. I think even at this price the SP has a long way to rise and is greatly under valued. Between here and NEXchange there was over 924k of stock bought. Albeit we had test buys and sells from 2 brokers today. (Nominal trades of 2000-3500 shares.) We have a new broker rating today but it will only ever show corporate. So no real indication of performance here. The RNS seems very positive. What excites me is the quality of staff Porta are bringing in. Especially since 2016. They are making a lot of high profile hires here. The new director today is a good example. Also consider the timing of the RNS before the results on 11 March. Note also his active role in Porta already making changes to the company. 'Rhydian graduated from Edinburgh University in 2006, upon which he immediately joined PWC, where he qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2009. Upon qualifying, he joined finnCap, working in the corporate finance department advising AIM companies. He re-joined PWC in 2010, where he spent another five years working across a broad range of service lines primarily within Private Equity, including Assurance and Regulatory Advisory. Rhydian joined Porta in January 2016 from PWC, initially as Porta’s Head of Group Finance, during which time he worked on the integration of financial systems throughout the Group, restructuring underperforming subsidiaries and leading all areas of financial reporting. Rhydian became Porta’s Chief Financial Officer in May 2017.' https://portacomms.com/porta-investors
So David Wright retires with immediate effect along with a string of other boardroom shuffles. No mention of the RNS on LSE but they will no doubt catch up. The shares rise nearly a quarter in response. The new CFO needs to get a grip on the extortionate loan rate currently being paid and, hopefully, along with good news later this month, we might see further progress to give us long-suffering investors some light at the end of the abyss.
Go trader I hope you are correct. I am fed up of my reporting doom and gloom. I so want to be positive so I can recoup losses
Hargreaves Hale have just bought nearly 24M Huntsworth shares. I wonder if they will now take a view on their Porta holding here? Someone is selling here. Nearly 750k of buys and the ask price has drifted slightly. I said previously that there was still a buyer in background and I appear to be correct. However at least one big seller remains. I think we could see large volumes come the results at these prices. See what if anything happens here. Could just be a smaller shareholder selling.
http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/canada-pension-plan-investment-board-baring-private-equity-asia-sign-agreement-privatize-2211633.htm Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and funds affiliated with Baring Private Equity Asia today announced that they have signed an agreement with Nord Anglia Education to acquire all outstanding shares of Nord Anglia Education. Funds affiliated with BPEA are the majority shareholders of Nord Anglia and BPEA controls 67% of Nord Anglia's issued and outstanding share capital. The transaction values Nord Anglia at USD 4.3 billion, including repayment of debt. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions. Looks like Newgate are the PR advisors here.
