... and major actors posted open letter saying they won't accept poor deal so companies know they have to pretty much match writers' deal or get damned close to it.
but, as you say, if it doesn't happen monday than it'll bag at some other time!
I hopped in yesterday - the strike will be resolved at some point so even if Monday disappoints, it won't matter. Zoo should be trading over £1.
If the weeekend goes well (and there looks to be compromises being put on the table), could see a very nice jump on monday morning. 'course, could be the opposite, too so have to choose whether to take a position before close tonight for the possible benefits. already see a few folk punting on a resolution.
i won't say how high i think it can go but only have to look at the chart pre strike...
gla, you silent holders, you! : )
Easiest buy this year, definitely adding at this price
Sp is cheaper now by 7%... going to have to decide if you just hold or add... or wait for news first, in the expectation that the rise will be larger than normal.
Depends how the press cover it but imagine there'll be a lot of talk about the costs of the strike and how it must be solved to kick start the $billions lost/delayed by the strike.
Can see focus on MI release being delayed, amongst other blockbusters, for dramatic effect.
have 48 target just on positive talks start and then, well, take your pick of where it might go post strike.
LOS ANGELES, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Oscar winner George Clooney and other top Hollywood stars have offered $150 million to the SAG-AFTRA actors union as part of a proposal to end the actors' strike as it nears its 100th day.
Their offer, confirmed by Clooney's spokesperson on Thursday, would provide the union an extra $150 million over three years and could help fund improved health benefits.
Clooney also said top stars would only collect residuals once lower-paid actors received theirs.
Seems potential for large upswing when actors strike is resolved, certainly if next earnings call is good news, I'll expect a massive boost
28th September 2023. DIRECTOR DEALINGS.AJ Bell just posted. Zoo Digital Group PLC - Sheffield-based localization and digital distribution services for entertainment industry - Chief Executive Officer Stuart Green buys 125,000 shares at 40.0p, worth £50,000, on Thursday. Green now has 11.6 million shares, an 11.8% stake. All in my opinion only of course. Nothing much wrong with this company. Its just the economic environment at this time but TV & Movie media will be the place to be in, when the USA Actors strike ends. IMO that will happen sooner rather than later, now that the screen writers guild have stopped their strike after agreeing terms with the Movie studios etc. won't be long before USA actors are back to work. (all strikes eventually end). Of course Zoo Digital is an international company & is in proses of buying 100% acquisition of a Japanese partner. In this economic environment Zoo said they want to buy their Japanese partner out at a lower price than originally asked for. makes sense. its a buyers market. hopefully it will be excepted in 4th quarter. IMO & DYOR People.
ZOO Digital Group plc (AIM: ZOO), a leading provider of end-to-end cloud-based localisation and media services to the global entertainment industry, was informed on 28 September 2023 that on 28 September 2023 Stuart Green, Chief Executive Officer, purchased 125,000 Ordinary Shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 40.0 pence per Ordinary Share.
Following the above transaction, Stuart Green holds 11,583,972 Ordinary Shares, representing 11.8% in the issued share capital of the Company.
Doesn't create a very positive environment for investing. The only ones buying are us retail bottom fishers thinking that something that fell 30% is a bargain compared to the day before without always properly reading the news. I can see this getting back into the 50s as the hysteria subsides before restarting its long term decline.
Those caught with their pants down that sold this morning on the basis of that announcement obviously were praying for some kind of Hollywood miracle. Someone sold £30k at 8am for 27p this morning, thats embarrassing
Ragnar....you put it brilliantly. The extent of the absolute slash downs being given to names who miss targets is just absolutely brutal. BRUTAL. A lot of these AIM names are cheap and then you'll see it down another 30% in a day - absolutely relentless market to be operating within.
Certainly VID looks to be about to be trashed again, as seeking funds.
SAG members are now holding everything back as no point having scriptwriters if there are no performances to take part and they'll take months for productions to get going, even once they get agreements.
if it isn't resolved soon, can see boredom setting in and the sp slipping again from this support. but definitely has the cash to whether the storm... just entry level is the decision maker.
This results season has been carnage, probably the worst in memory for me and I'm not young. Some brutal market reactions out there and this is no exception.
Opened a position here this morning...risky and could fall further but fundamentals are solid and the company has plenty of cash to get through this period. Tough times but Zoo should come out the other side with fewer competitors and there will be a stampede for content creation which may also help pricing
Haha HH how's you?
That did make me giggle.
When you look at 90% plus of these AIM companies they are all down 65% plus and many at all time lows .
You get the odd gem of course but even then that's only because they spike from all time lows.
It's no surprise most lose in the markets
I think today's volatility is driven by the warning from Videndum. Imo, ZOO is a buy at this level as it discounts a lot.
No doubt ZOO price has already has already taken some of the concerns into the price but the makret is being bluddy vicious atm.
and it looks like, while we're waiting on the more immediate effects of the vote on live tv, it's going to take a good while for shows and films to get back into the swing of things.
think maybe the buying y'day was just a little premature, on the news.
I've averaged down with a decent buy at 58p today. Still some way to go to breakeven though so hope the news stays positive.
Have to assume that there's a correction to come (be bloody miserable if the drop WAS the correction!)
Should be coming soon, prompted by this agreement (though it's still to be formally accepted).
Should alleviate some headwinds to the story...
8m free cash flow and currently 63m EV
Grossly undervalued this company. Perhaps when the Japanese acquisition is finally completed it will rerate.
Interview with Stuart Green for this morning's results.

I was expecting around a 15% uplift today after reading the results. Still time of course but the Bull didn’t exactly charge out the gates at dawn today that’s for sure.
