I think it would have held above 5, however with a dividend review underway I can see it dropping below.

Yes Gcoffey, I like their attitude to adapt, change and re-invent themselves in order to keep ahead of the game. The BOD have a clear and decisive intent when change is needed. Great Stock!

Yes, brilliant results for the quarter :-)

It was a great deal and I think they have the edge over Sky with their progress on UHD broadcasting.

If you don't know how to work out a P/E ratio, please feel free to ask. You will see it (cnic) is bearing out circa 100 and MMX around 4.5. The financials are out if you wish to verify.

@LMinx: Actually I obtained the PE ratio (CNIC 108) from LSE, That's what it states on here, have a look above.

Yes it's surprising, CNIC has a P/E ratio of 83 and MMX a P/E of 4.5 and $40Mill+ cash, yet CNIC has doubled in value these last 12 months and MMX has substantially dropped in value. The vagaries of AIM........??

Great start to the footy season!

Sky appears very attractive based on this DCF http://simplywall.st/LSE:SKY

Up 18%

Progressing nicely.....

Reports in the Telegraph over the weekend state that the Murdoch family/Fox could be considering a new bid to take 100% control of Sky after rebuffing two recent approaches for their 39% stake in the company. We think the Telegraph report highlights the potential strategic value of Sky to a number of different parties and this is not reflected in the current share price. We remain fundamentally positive on Sky and believe investors have underestimated the upside to growth from new initiatives and the benefits of scale from the Sky Europe de

Great progress last 6 months....

Ticking along...

BRS:....Why would Sky purchase MLS? if no one intended to subscribe to S.Sports?

Well Sky down 2.2% and BT up 3.65% tells me "Project Ethan" isn't going to work.

Exactly I've been a SKY subscriber for years and am now thinking of cancelling it. Most matches and more are available on the internet for free, and with the advanced capabilities now of streaming 4k UHD resolution onto your TV, I ask what is the point? Movies? most people are streaming Netflix now in UHD. BT sport currently free to BT broadband users may be the go. Plus they have the Champions League rights.

Just watching Ian King on Sky Business report, apparently due to the "blind" auction process, Sky ended up paying £11mill. per match versus BT's £7mill. per match. and with only 28 first choices. I think a minus 5-10% drop inSP could be the response tomorrow.

1.4 billion per year (that's Sky alone) I think is a hefty cost.
