With the promise of future dividends mooted, as well as pretty stellar results, I think the market should view this as positive. Just the relative strength of the dollar impacting in the near term.
Why wait until the end of May? If this share is such a dog, one might reasonably expect the price to continue its downward spiral, surely? You'd best sell today, and move on, and stop dragging the rest of us down with your miserable posts. You claim Vlad is "a brilliant scientist" yet you seem not to believe in the science. It is the science, after all, that will make or break this company, not the empty promises of some ramping CEO that you seem to crave. So, farewell MrIndia, and good luck with your future investments - you'll need it!
When the buying resumes, this should mark up rapidly. MF and "the concert party" own 38% of shares in issue. Schroders now have a smidgen over 5%. That leaves c. 57% for the rest of us (or roughly 36.5m shares), a large number of which must be fairly tightly held (with some shareholders surely having been forced to hold given the steep decline in the sp over the last 3 months or so). Can see a recovery here, but, like Oldfinger said, the macro picture is looking bleak, at least for the short term.
Who knows, Mr India. One thing is for certain, though. If, indeed, we see another week of share price erosion, you'll surely be here to provide us all with your inane commentary and general misery. Might I suggest you take a week off - call it a 'mental health week' - and spare us all your scratched record impression. Have you ever heard the saying "patience is a virtue"?
...wondering how on earth this is being marked down on a daily basis on very little volume? Smacks a bit of panic selling, in my opinion, coupled with MM games. Medium to long term hold here, for me, so not particularly worried. Just not getting the short term view, or am I totally barking? Anyone?
... there's a lot of vitriol about, which saddens me. For those who are nursing large paper losses, I feel your pain. Because at one point I, too, was down - around 70%, if the truth be known - and wondering what on earth I had done. That was when I was averaging 0.9p per share and the price was 0.25p per share to buy. The rest is history, perhaps, although there have been many times since when I have questioned my 'buy and hold' strategy, wishing I had 'sold and bought back in' at all the highs and subsequent lows. Hindsight! But we wait because we believe. Regarding BioTrinity, until we are sold, we are for sale. It reminds me a bit of buying and selling property (ours being intellectual property). Everything prior to exchange of contracts is "subject to contract", and therefore open to higher bids. Our "property" is still for sale because, whilst there may well be interest, no one has signed on the dotted line, yet. I would just urge patience, because the real prize is within touching distance, imo.
Just tried a dummy sell, and they're quite prepared to take my entire holding at over bid price. Feels like the usual shenanigans...
Old, but lacking the wisdom of old age it would seem.
Pretty impressive given the Covid headwinds. Strong performance in the US and the one customer loss in the UK nothing to do with ESYS. Growth in Asia Pacific region also encouraging and 30m GBP in the bank (almost half the current mcap) to fund expansion. What's not to like?
Definite tree shake leading into the close, to relieve the weak hands of their shares. Assuming a positive RNS tomorrow and you simply won't be able to buy back in much below a pound. We'll see...
Curio, I think you're right regarding any potential disappointment being already reflected in the SP. The market reacted to the 1st March trading update with its usual doom and gloom. What probably spooked traders/investors was this: "The Group's expansion and acceleration of its go-to-market activities has been delayed by continued COVID related uncertainty. This has also resulted in extended sales cycles leading to lower than anticipated sales bookings year to date. As a result, the Group's trading for FY22 is expected to be below current consensus market expectations."
But there were positives, too. Net cash stood at 30.5m GBP; 9 new customers were added; recurring revenue in the US was up 20%; 470 live Connect sites were in operation, with a further 28 new sites to come post half year results.
Personally, I think the drop here has been way overdone, but I'll be keen to see what the future has in store. Again, from the trading update, the outlook appears healthy: "The Board remains confident in the Group's future growth which is underpinned by long-term structural drivers. Despite a delay in accelerated bookings growth due to the prolonged challenges caused by COVID, the pipeline for FY23 and FY24 is strong. The Group has seen pipeline opportunities continue to grow, particularly amongst large multi-site property organisations. Larger flexible operator customers are starting to expand once again. The Board now expects revenues for FY22 will not be less than £23.5m (FY21: £22m), with an adjusted EBITDA1 loss of not more than £7m."
Oh, and don't forget the 350,000 shares purchased by MF on 17th March. He obviously believes that the company is worth investing c. 260,000 GBP in, and let's face it he should have a pretty good idea of the company's profitability and potential going forward. AIMHO and GLA.
... late yesterday on the Canadian exchange. 967k at 0.16 cents ($154,720) or thereabouts. Provided a level of support over there. Just wondering if we have finally found a base here around the 10p mark?
Lucky, are you saying there could be a bear raid, lol!
Definitely feels like momentum is building here. So oversold, imo. Buys outweighing sells recently, and even the trades reported as sells, some of them look suspiciously like buys (being just below the mid-price). Quietly confident the SP can double or even triple from here over the next year or so. But, as always, do your own research. All best, GF.
The uncertainty re: financing, and at what cost, is really killing the SP at the moment. Things should turn around soon, as I can't see Anglo Gold Ashanti or Sprott allowing too much more SP erosion. Just my opinion, but anything around the 20p mark would scream buy.
...from yesterday. A fair chunk of change. Gut feel is that it was a buy. Anyone with any better information? Maybe another director buy? I'm new here, but bought 15,000 early doors today as I'm convinced the market has overreacted here, and believe in the tech. Live in Asia and the notion of flexible workspace is all the rage here. Makes so much sense.
Fair enough, Sain. Have been thinking the same. Is PURP leading the recovery, or is it now overbought? I'm watching FOXT, as I think something similar to PURP's recent rise might be about to occur there too. Anyway, I respect your posts and wish you all the best. We live in very uncertain times, and the resulting volatility will presumably drive the market for now. Good luck in all your future investments and hope you forgive my contrarian posts. All the best!
Will miss you! Maybe buy a packet of Garibaldi's with your profit?
FT forecast of 1.9p was years ago, and equates to 95p in new money. Do keep up!
insane@myopia, perhaps the truth is you can't stand the fact that we so-called "Johnny come latelys" have timed our entry at an apparently opportune moment. How much are you down, just for the sake of transparency? You don't seem to accept that there are smarter people than you out there who can read the signs, which are all pointing to a recovery here. Jupiter exiting, followed quite quickly by some fairly substantial directors buys was a major bull flag (https://www.yahoo.com/now/insider-buying-purplebricks-group-plc-052045689.html). The "significant transformation against a backdrop of challenging market conditions" statement (see half year results), if to be believed, suggests confidence moving forward. The average revenue per instruction (£1,642, up 15%) was also hugely encouraging, indicative of solid progress in turning the fortunes of this company around. All of this coupled with rumors of a bid incoming from Axel Springer (https://propertyindustryeye.com/purplebricks-valued-at-60m-is-ripe-for-a-takeover-says-tipster/) certainly piqued my interest. I may be late to the party (thank God), but isn't it fashionable to be late? P.S. I'm not suggesting for one minute that there are not substantial risks here, but gut feeling is the market has (as usual) overreacted to some prior bad news and is now coming to its senses. 40p in fairly short order looks very achievable. AIMHO, GLA.
