RNS: Speeding Ticket?8 Jun 2021 21:51
My take on the RNS and its timing;
1. Probably ITX Management and Broker felt the SP was getting a bit frothy of late, to the extent it was not keeping track with economic reality of 2021 performance to date, clearly driven by overly optimistic investor sentiment;
2. A 50mGBP market cap seems more supportable than a 70mGbp one until the revenue line grows some what more;
3. Message around growing channel / client diversification was good to hear again
4. The business has to grow in its own time and holding long will payback.
5. Very unlikely that the Board is in dialogue with M&A suitors or considering a JV. If it was, they would not have derailed the frothy share price trajectory since the ITX share price strength would have given greater leverage in pricing of ITX's equity relative to the counter-party.
6. Likewise equity / debt financing. I don't think it's close by at the moment.
