“Progressive update out.Very strong first half revenue confirmedFollowing its positive AGM trading update on 23 September, finnCap has delivered its promised update on revenue for the six months to the end of September 2021. With a further four M&A deals closing between those two dates, H1 2022E revenue is £31.8m, up 55% on the prior year comparator of £20.5m. The Group has raised the lower end of its guidance range for full year revenue by £5m to between £45m and £50m. The most striking performance in H1 is that of finnCap Cavendish which has reported revenue of £16.2m in the half year compared to £4.2m in H1 2021 in a vibrant M&A market. Risks to our upgraded numbers remain firmly on the upside.“

Fantastic (and I never use that word lightly) figures announced today. No RNS showing on LSE yet but SURELY the SP has to rise today? I mean properly rise ?!?!!? Time will tell … very happy with that though.

Surely the US dishwasher tablet thingy is the Palmolive one which we’ve known about for half a year or something? The one (one of several, more accurately) JS can’t actually name because of the NDAs or whatever they’ve been asked to adhere to?

I actually submitted a question about why they’re so secret when one can simply google the ingredient name to find out who’s using it. I don’t expect an answer to that one TBH, worth a try though!

SP only 8% down. Quite stable for an ITX results day !!

Can’t see anything in there that we didn’t already know or could guess. I think I feel relief more than anything !!

Last time my question about supply lines from China was featured so might be pushing my luck, but submitted this:

What was the main reason finnCap were appointed as broker / adviser? What are their main objectives re: Itaconix? Should their appointment result in a more stable share price so that we shareholders can actually sleep at night ?! Thank you.

This won’t age well !!

I think this exercise will be positive in the long run, it’s a pity there wasn’t more info about how the extra capital will be used. This is normal though.

Chins up.

No, my mistake, a month or so. I might actually break even soon. Such a weird share.

Really positive results as expected with a really positive medium term outlook as well as profitability. Yet the market largely seems indifferent. Still a great time to buy in my humble. Which no doubt means minus 5% today then !!!

Hopefully an easy opportunity for a very quick profit if you’re quick? I just stuck some more on this first thing. Ludicrous market absolutely mad.

Obviously when I say “month or so” I mean “a year or so” !!!

Welcome to this interesting investment. That always happens to me when I buy an AIM share as well, don’t worry. There will be an RNS on Tuesday to accompany the results I imagine.

“Notice of Results

The interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 will be announced on 21 September 2021.”

I know. Wind speed will increase by 259% later on though, fear not. I’ve just run the numbers.

I’m certainly holding onto mine, don’t get me wrong. Just some of the hyperbole on here gets a bit carried away sometimes! Right I’m supposed to be checking the shipping forecast apparently… Dogger Bank, windy … :o)

I see the random growth number generators have been dusted off again, just as the SP actually goes up for once! Have to admire some of the optimism but Shaw himself said the sporadic customer shipments would continue throughout H2.

Based on that I’m happy with 20-40% growth in H2 TBH. People were making wild guesses about H1 based on ridiculous assumptions about inventory levels and so on. They were way off then and I suspect projections of 200%+ growth for H2 are ludicrous as well. Cut it out.

Another 1m buy disclosed after the bell. Interesting.

I also hold FinnCap shares, funnily enough. Another greatly undervalued business, with financials itx would die for!

Surprised no one else has pointed out that a big part of their growth has come from advising on M&A activity. AKA takeovers.

Just saying.

I still hold itx shares but only 25% of what I held during the heady “teen” days. In case I’m asked yet again !!

Well you might think it’s related to the 2.4m buys only showing after the buzzer? If you were cynical !

Don’t get too excited!

The US share price seems to have risen by 31% on the OTC market today. I was asking whether there is any correlation between that market and the UK AIM market. I daresay not but I have no (zero) knowledge about this. There must (?) be some sort of link but maybe not a direct one???

Great spot on the increase in OTC price. Forgive my ignorance but how does this price correlate to the AIM price, if at all? Already looking forward to tomorrow’s 31% SP rise ?????

Sorry, are we talking about this huge “late” trade on Friday? I only just saw it in the trades page.
