I don't have timelines as it's pointless until you can see the speed of buying and whether the support levels remain. all i'm saying is there are plateaux in the past 6-12 months that acted as support/resistance which are good targets on the way back up.
of course, that's presuming the news IS positive this week.
What are your timescales on the first 2 targets?
Zoo Digital is international company & still expanding with Acquisitions & Hubs.
If it happens this week, i have 63 as first target, then 120 as the news develops and hollywood and the tv majors start ramping their autumn schedules and productions and then, finally, sometime next year, 200. after that... well, i seriously doubt i'll still be in it by then so... and if the sp struggles before then probably out sooner.
but in the near term... all very encouraging.
SAG-AFTRA Deal With Studios Reportedly In "Final Stretch" To End Actors' Strike. https://screenrant.com/sag-deal-studios-reported-update-actors-strike/
90 terms irrelevant, completion approval irrelevant. Booking the revenue and forecasting the profit only are relevant.
As soon as they can say they're on track for x profit, they've justified the sp.
I think you're missing the point that people will als be anticipting that £1+ price and will want it. you won't have to wait for results to see the benefits of a rise.
It will take around a year to get results that reflect normality, SP will stay low for a lot longer. Once /If the strike end the writers will start up again but not need ZOO immediately, then you got contracts to negotiate + digitizing + completion approval + say 90 day payment terms etc. We should see a small uplift as the SP will lead results but nothing too exiting for quite a while.
I think £1 is a reasonable target in a few months' time.
It would be helpful to hear a press release post strike to update on business rolling back in, even if to say no change in outlook
Feels like i'm talking to myself (which is fine, but... )
Definitely worth checking the ZOO price just prior to the strike which start on 14 July. count this as a ramp, just in case the deal comes through this week.
if it doesn't then, obviously...

Gla.
... 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.
