SDL down 21% after profit slide, margin warning Published: Aug 1, 2017 3:56 a.m. ET
Been some significant drops in this sp in early May. Based upon next to nothing. The fundamentals remain, the board are bullish. Funding streams open. Dividend to be paid. Once those who bought for the dividend have sold, most probably have by now, we should see normality continue. All indicators that I have seen point in only one direction. GLA
Is a very interesting shareholder. More interesting is their short history in buying shares in British companies. I think we have a bid on the way.
In the end 100000 shares sold with only a few thousand bought. Really do not understand the logic in selling on the 29th.
Dont understand why over 4000 shares are sold 1 day before exdividend day 30th april. Unless they think the price is high because of the dividend date. If it is overpriced because of the date then it will only be a blip. All indicators are still very good for continued growth
The trend of rating the value of this stock as buy continues. It is being suggested at 650. THis would suggest 550 is distinctly possible. Maybe in less than 18 months.
ceo - "We enter a new year with a solid pipeline of opportunities and are well placed for accelerating revenue growth" 10th March 2015
Correction the dividend was in June 2013
Whether SDL will reach the heady hights of £10 or not, I have no idea, I do see £5.5 or a number close to that within the next 18 months or so. The company has now said it will be paying dividends circa 2.5p per share. This is very positive, for years SDL has not paid a dividend (although it did pay a small one last year, but I think that had more to do with reassuring the market than anything else) rather they have been a buyer of other technology companies to strengthen their own. Adobe buying SDL looks tantalizing. Lets not get carried away at this stage.
I'm expecting that they will attract a bid at some point. There is no way a company like this with the client list they have and the dominance they have in translation will stay independent for long. The customer experience market is growing at 15% annually and there are big players who will I imagine be looking at SDL very closely. In the past there have been big companies who have acquired to enter this market so I am expecting consolidation or companies that will be new entrants via an acquisition. You can call me mad but I see a takeover price coming in at between £10-13 per share. Potential predators could be :Saleforce, Adobe, Microsoft or OpenText.
Good to see another positive broker assessment on SDL. The Numis assessment is particularly encouraging as they have increased significantly their value of the stock. I am anticipating a positive end of year report and assessment with further growth in the first quarter.
A good piece of business seen today. Once the ramifications are drawn out the sp should rise again. Looking to improve by some 50 points.
19th Jan investec judgement was 490. The shares achieved 440. Today they are suggesting 625. That will be 575 then, which will be an excellent recovery by the company over the 24 months. The investment in the sales team was obviously a very good business decision. Getting close to making everyone happy!!
There looks like some stronger buying pressure today. Unless there is something silly happening over the next few weeks i see this share price reaching 4.5 plus by the end of next week and then 4.8 by the end of february. All the news from the company has been good, the prospects for the ecconomies are good relating to technology. And of course most importantly my fingers are crossed. What could go wrong?
As hoped for a good end of year report has released the sp. Moving around somewhat during the day but holding well. Surprised at the limited take up of the sold shares. The fact that the sp has already reached the latest broker rating has probably not helped. I think this still has legs but may pull back somewhat tommorow. 5.50 is (in my opinion) still destinctly achieveable during the next few months. The potential upside is very good. I consider this to now be a safe share to hold and you never know, they may even pay a dividend, although i am not holding my breath for that i would rather see the money going into growing tne business and getting the value out of a rising sp. Good luck all
Still a long way to go but i am pleased with the way this company is managing its recovery. It may be a while before 550 is reached. But a good end of year report and we could be there before the end of 2015!! Tom may be happy again. I am glad i stuck with them.
sorry. posted on wrong company page. was referring to another company
I seem to be missing any context here - are you talking about their mid-March report? If so, then which news? If not, what have you heard? Thanks, Happy
Cannacord have to be quite annoyed that they pressed the send button on their detailed report just as the news came out. i take this as being more about growing pains than a serious issue. the management do have egg on their faces as it comes so soon after the acquisition but could they have anticipated that it was going to happen?
to make new directors feel welcome!
I'd be happy with 550p - can you raise it to that :) Actually, looking at the sector and where the UK is currently heading, this is just a long term hold for me, should be back in profit 2014 so divi will be available again (I'm assuming that there won't be one this year, but they may pay out to support the price). In that case, I see us back over 600p in the next two years, but a lot could happen between now and then!
could be 470-490p ...
to be heading for c460p to my eyes ... GLA
