RE: GAP NEEDS TO BE FILLED27 Nov 2020 21:25
Thanks Thordon & I agree, the update wasn’t ‘catastrophic’ to justify 50% drop in the company’s Mcap! I read the trading update several times and it’s obvious that the company has so much to offer, they signed several contracts with reputable businesses this year and provided a promising future outlook. The major issue was the drop in the non-core business which forms just 14% of the company’s revenue. After today’s sp drop the business is valued at roughly one times forecast sales which doesn’t make sense in Tech listed companies. For a profitable, growing business like LOOP that might not be expensive, to put this in context, Zoom is valued at 38 times sales!!
“ While trading is expected to remain challenging in the non-PS part of our Meetings business, this now represents just 14% of our total LoopUp Platform revenue, and with a continued focus to drive forward our PS business, it is expected this will have progressively less impact on overall trading going forward. By contrast in our core market, we remain confident in our ability to drive attractive, sustainable and profitable growth of our premium external cloud communications platform, and therefore plan to invest to maximize growth and shareholder value creation within the constraints of our strong £11.6 million cash balance (at end October 2020).”
LOOP is ridiculously oversold on the technical chart so I’m expecting a bounce next week back to 100p min.
