A pullback after such strong results was always a possibility. Expectations were high, with many looking for yet another step-change increase in revenue and profits — and to be fair, the company delivered exactly that. To avoid a short-term pullback, it probably needed something truly “wow”.

That said, I’m still very happy with the update. This feels more like profit-taking than any change in the underlying story. As one herd sells, another is clearly stepping in to buy.

Worth remembering that Dowgate were buyers around 770p — and they’re certainly not momentum chasers. The fundamentals remain solid, the growth trajectory is intact, and management continues to execute well.

I’m sitting tight on these and letting the story play out.

You are child makeitup.

Audioboom is exceptionally well positioned to capitalise on the rapid rise of video podcasting, which has already become its fastest-growing revenue stream. With a majority of creators now producing video content, Audioboom is unlocking higher engagement, stronger discoverability on platforms like YouTube, and premium advertising opportunities with superior monetisation metrics. By seamlessly integrating audio and video at scale, the group is expanding its revenue mix, increasing creator earnings, and strengthening its competitive moat — making video a powerful growth engine that reinforces Audioboom’s long-term upside and market leadership.

Looking forward to the trading update which should drop any time now.

As expected, some PIs are selling Audioboom to lock in short-term profits, following the herd and clearly unwilling to hold through the upcoming trading update. There’s a sense that some would rather sell now in case others do the same and liquidity dries up. I’m holding strong because the fundamentals remain intact: revenues and margins are improving, the platform is scalable, the balance sheet is stronger, and Audioboom is well positioned for long-term growth in podcast advertising. Short-term fear doesn’t change the bigger picture.

Runner - runner - I deserved that :). But I am confident the SP will be no where near the toilet!

Audioboom today looks very different to when it last traded at higher levels:

• Bigger audience

• Stronger creator roster

• Video now a meaningful growth driver

• Clear profitability path

• Multiple strategic options (organic growth, partnerships, industry consolidation)

As the market realises Audioboom is not just an audio play but a scalable video media and monetisation platform, the valuation gap starts to close. Momentum breeds momentum — and we’re already seeing sentiment shift.

With growing traction, improving financials and multiple structural tailwinds, it’s not hard to see why the stock could continue to respond positively — and why a return toward previous highs is very much back on the table.

Unless there is some big news come Q4 and results are completely blown out of the water, I’d expect the SP be around 850. Slow and steady does it.

I’ll take it as a good sign that pi’s and institutions are willing to buy even at 750p + even after the 150% rise over the last 6-9 months. Plenty of news to go and better things to come from AB.

Follow the money indeed! Excellent.

Probably not the view of a lot of PI’s but I think organic growth arguably makes more sense for AB as it gives the company time to fully play out the value it’s building, rather than accepting a buyout that could easily fall short of shareholder expectations. Podcasting and video are still growing fast, and by continuing to scale its audience, advertising revenues and creator partnerships, AB can capture that upside for itself instead of handing it to a buyer. Any takeover is likely to be based on today’s numbers, not where the business could be in a few years as margins improve and operating leverage kicks in. Staying independent also avoids the risks that come with integration and loss of strategic focus, while giving shareholders the chance to benefit from continued growth and a stronger long-term valuation, rather than a one-off exit that may undervalue the business.

I still wouldn’t rule out taking £13+ if a compelling offer comes in.

Possibly Dowgate still buying in rounded chunks.

Momentum around AUDIOBOOM is being driven by more than just a rising share price. The company has reached a point where its underlying business strength is starting to speak for itself, and that naturally puts it on the radar of larger media and audio groups. The ongoing strategic review adds another layer of interest, as it highlights management’s focus on maximising shareholder value rather than rushing into any deal. With legacy issues now behind them and a far clearer earnings profile, the company is in a much stronger negotiating position should any corporate interest emerge.

On the numbers, the scale AUDIOBOOM has built is becoming increasingly compelling. The platform now reaches around 50 million monthly unique listeners, hosts 13 of the top 100 YouTube podcasts, and delivers approximately 325 million video views. This level of audience reach directly supports revenue growth through higher advertising demand and improved monetisation, while operating leverage means profits can grow faster as the business scales. As these metrics continue to trend upward, the investment case strengthens whether AUDIOBOOM remains independent or attracts a bid, making it an attractive proposition for both short-term and long-term holders.

Anything is possible, and hopefully investors are rewarded with solid returns from AB — especially given the quality gap between Audioboom and much of the AIM market. Dowgate continuing to buy around £7.80 is a strong vote of confidence. If they’re acting as a proxy for a larger buyer, as mcsquares mentioned, there’s clear scope for the share price to move materially higher. With improving fundamentals and growing interest, the outlook for Audioboom remains very encouraging.

Let’s hope 2026 is a standout year for long-term holders — especially those who’ve been in for years and lived through the move up to £22 and the long journey back down. There’s now a genuine opportunity for investors who were previously stuck at much higher levels to recover their capital and potentially more. And for those who had the conviction to average down, they took the risk — and fully deserve the success that Audioboom could now deliver.

This is getting better. Couldn’t even wait until new year to buy either! £10 will surely will go very soon. Then blue skies.

Not to forget , one of the many stand out points is who AUDIOBOOM has chosen to run the process. J Goodwin & Co LLP aren’t brought in for show — they specialise in strategic reviews and are usually involved when boards are seriously exploring options like a sale or merger. On top of that, bringing in Rockefeller Capital Management LLC as financial advisers adds real credibility. They’ve got strong transactional experience and the right connections to get this in front of serious buyers. This feels like a genuinely well-run process rather than box-ticking, and if a takeover does happen, you’d expect it to be handled carefully and at the right value, not rushed through. Feel it’s going to be an excellent 2026 bring it on.

With AUDIOBOOM now trading around the 800p mark, it’s been a huge move in a relatively short space of time. Some holders will understandably be banking profits on the spike, but it also feels like plenty will be keeping the bulk of their stake firmly tucked away while waiting for the next bit of news. The rerating hasn’t come out of nowhere either – the business is in a far stronger position than it was, with legacy onerous contracts largely behind it and a clearer path to improving margins and profitability. Even after this run, the story doesn’t feel “done”, especially with potential catalysts still ahead, whether that’s further trading updates, strategic developments or ongoing takeover speculation. Short term there may be volatility, but it’s fairly easy to see why many think this still has room to run while the company continues to execute and the market digests just how different AUDIOBOOM looks compared to a year ago.

With growing scale, strong audience numbers, and an advertising-led model that generates recurring revenue and operating leverage, AudioBoom’s strategic appeal keeps improving. The board has already turned down an approach around £12 per share, showing confidence in the company’s longer-term value. As mentioned, with onerous contracts now finished with, there’s clear scope to reprice inventory, lift margins, and push profits higher. The Adelicious deal strengthens the UK footprint just as the market starts to catch up with the US on ad spend, adding real upside. With ongoing consolidation across podcasting, where buyers pay up for scale and monetisation, a premium bid looks increasingly realistic. Let’s see!

Think it’s fairly safe to say this stock will be attractive for both short-term and long-term holders. Audioboom continues to demonstrate solid fundamentals, underpinned by consistent revenue growth, improving profitability metrics, and a scalable advertising-led business model. Key indicators such as expanding podcast downloads, strong advertiser demand, and improving EBITDA margins highlight a company that is executing well operationally while maintaining discipline on costs. These metrics reinforce confidence that the core business is performing, regardless of wider market sentiment.

From a strategic standpoint, the board appears clearly aligned on value creation. It does not seem inclined to entertain a sale at a minimal valuation, should any offer arise. That stance reflects confidence in the company’s trajectory and in the long-term value of its growing network, diversified revenue streams, and global audience reach. The balance sheet strength and cash generation further support optionality, allowing Audioboom to invest, acquire, or scale organically without undue pressure.

Crucially, whether a sale materialises or not, the forward trajectory of Audioboom looks compelling. The business is well positioned to benefit from continued growth in digital audio advertising, with strong relationships, proprietary technology, and an expanding content portfolio acting as long-term tailwinds. Overall, the outlook remains positive, and the company appears well placed to deliver sustained shareholder value over time.

Hope all enjoy their holidays and let’s hope we can enjoy a great 2026 and beyond.

Uallmakeitup - I think it’s safe to assume you are the clown here. Have you heard of GameStop - yes okay this was on a massive scale but I hope you have the ability to see how a stock with tightly held shares can move faster than others. It only takes a couple 100 people to buy a couple 1000 shares each. No idea why you hang about here like a bad smell. Jog on.
