£30m cash, no debt and clients all want ai experts to implement into companies. Big growth area from £115m cap

Not encouraged at all. The CEO and COO have listed as being worth over £200M. Instead of invest in FDM, Companies House records show that they have instead invested ~£45M in a second family business in Scotland over the past few years. The market announcement made recently says it is cash inside that business (Logiealmond estate) which has been used to buy a relatively small amount of shares in FDM. A substantial personal cash investment in FDM using personal finances from the leadership would perhaps encourage me. This token purchase does not. It seems like 'going through the motions' with the AGM around the corner.

Anyone feeling encouraged with recent director buying? Wondering if things have stabilised a bit or will do this year, and not decline further? Next update at the AGM, 21st May, might give further guidance.
