42 the bottom?? I wouldn't be surprised if we go below 40p today.

An already chaotic share in a once again rapidly deteriorating market!

What's going on is that this company is all hype and SMS has lost control. Too many chiefs on massive wages and employees working from home.

What we have here is another Sir Phillip effing Green & Neil Woodford.

You say "future disappointment is priced in" I'm not so optimistic, I wouldn't be surprised to see this drop another 30% on a bad statement.

Let's hope we have some good news this time round for once though

Redwine, Ntl

More and more the talk is about mediamonks as opposed to S4, the new product Monk.flow and Wesley Haar have been gaining attention at CES so perhaps the new life and reset we all hope for will come by this transition we are already witnessing, any thoughts on this?

Redwine

Yes you are 100% right. In my opinion he did sound rather pessimistic though but yes I hope his forward guidance in the forthcoming trading statement is positive with clients taking their hands out of their pockets, to quote his often used phrase!

Nige

My sentiment exactly. I feel so foolish. I wonder whether this will ever recover.

There is an article in the Times today by SMS, he doesn't sound optimistic about 2024 but mentions how the big boys will get bigger. Could the case be that AI is actually working against the smaller agencies and the crumbs the big boys used to leave for agencies like S4 now are off the table as the big don't necessitate the service of the smaller as much??

I hear Meta's advertising revenues are growing again and doing very well, this would fit with my thinking.

Like you Nige, I topped up at 50p, what a fool I am 🙄

And here we have it, new all time low

How can SMS go to Davos holding his head up high is beyond me. Also, no directors buying at these levels. No confidence at all

Cobblerman

I'm in exactly the same position. So many lost opportunities also as I went big on this, like yourself, I trusted SMS. What a fool 🙄

More bad news coming by the look of the share price behavior, what an absolute dog and bunch of con artists running the show

Possibly the worst stock in the index

Verney

Not at all mate, I didn't mean to sound rude or abrupt.

My understanding is that the shareholders would vote on it, at current value, nobody that is a long term holder would be selling at what it's worth now as they could simply sell now.

It's possible of course that a buyer could put an offer 20-30% above the current SP and for that to be accepted by a majority, however, I see that unlikely.

In any case, with this particular company, Sir Martin holds a golden share, that means no takeover regardless of what the majority votes for without him agreeing to it.

Happy to be put right if my understanding of this process is bot quite like my interpretation.

Verney

What do you mean when you ask " why would they want to offer more than the current SP?"

Because most of the holders that are under water, like myself, and haven't sold yet would not accept an unreasonable offer.

Anything below 120-130 would be criminal or simply daylight robbery.

10% drop again in 3 days on top of not having benefited from the overall market rally top end the year.

Absolute dog s....

I see new lows coming unfortunately, total disaster with no hope in sight

Disappointing is an understatement! Personally, the worst stock I've ever invested on by a few country miles!

A dog!

What a disaster of a company, the market overall up considerably over the last couple of weeks whislt here we are still at all time lows!

The all digital experiment has gone badly wrong! SMS might end up being another Philip Green or Neil Woodford.

Kicking myself for holding this s..te this long

Well said WOLFO!

Mcoo7j- show us your workings mate as well as where you are getting those silly figures from!

At what point do buyers come in??

Never seen anything like it!

Martin should be apologising to his investors. He has royally screwed us over!

I can post whatever I like as long as I'm not disrespectful! The way the share price is dropping is not normal, as such, I do worry about going that possibility yes.

Perhaps you should be more realistic in view of what's happening here rather than telling people to stop moaning when they are simply airing their views!

Caveman

Another shorter??

Where do you get that from??

I'm invested here, very heavily at that!
