The share owners of the listed company MMX are starting to eat .horse
Posted on 03 February 2019
MMX is the owner of .vip .work .horse amongst others including .xxx which they recently acquired from ICM. It’s getting messy at MMX (Minds and Machines) as their share price drops nearly 70% from a high of 15p. Arguments between the bulls and bears on their share chat board is getting nasty.
What is clear, they know the machination of investing in public listed companies but have very little knowledge of domains.
None of the private shareholders can understand the fall given they are posting profits and growth. From a domainers point of view, it is abundantly clear MMX are window dressing the figures to be brought out and the underlying picture is ugly. Take dot work, not any of the investors realise they are being sold at the lowest price for a domain in the universe right now at LESS than one cent and the growth in numbers they extol can all be explained away by this. MMX is not coming clean with investors that this is their strategy, and they believe they are getting $5 – $8 a name.

The other blind spot they all have is the broader performance of new GTLDs, they still believe its a young, nascent industry and they are waiting for greater public awareness. Instead, with a little digging, it is evident that least 80% of registrations are domain speculators, especially Chinese and they are haemorrhaging money. The public has rejected them on the whole. It’s a precarious business with little upside and a lot of risks. I’m expecting the share price to drop further as domainers abandon ship for the legacy domains. Even Uniregistry the champions of nGTLDs in their State of the Industry 2019 commented ‘.com will continue to rule supreme’.
They need to be aware the SP is a reflection of the fact if you stripped out names sold for less than a cent their overall portfolio is shrinking in numbers and furthermore the market is in steady decline and still got a way to go. Maybe the SP is a little high at 5p.
For transparency, I don’t own shares in MMX and never have worked or involved in any business with them, all opinions are my own, do your own research.
