Hoping for an update soon.

Surely we're due an update on how things are going on the various Portfolios they've been trying to sell ...............which says to me that they've not found buyers..........or if they've found buyers they've not been at the right offer amounts........and all the while the ridiculous levels of fees charged continue to be spent..........

Might help once America wakes up this afternoon...........but it is Friday .........and Friday afternoons are v rarely great for share performance.

What worries me is the lack of comms regarding new business (not rollover/renewed contracts). We've no idea if they are making hay in this market..........or not..............*praying for delivery from this evil share*!

Come on Acuity - give us some good news!

Have to trust him........but I've seen others put money in and it go nowhere (management I mean) so it doesn't mean a great deal to me, with this share whether he's in or not...........I really, sincerely hope he does produce something however.

So just decided to look at the segregated funds (for an update); https://financialservices.plus500.com/firm-financial-information/

Decided to look back at Jan (and chose 6th Jan as that's when the markets opened from memory)

6th Jan 2025:

Total held in Segregation: $455,990,850

Total Funds reqired to be segregated: $352,668,527

Excess segregated funds: $103,322,323

6th May 2025:

THS: $783,299,695

TFRS: $697,109,492

ESF: $86,190,203

It was always my 'risky' share so to speak............but even so - honestly thought (for lots of reasons and thinking, at the time of each change, that I'd still stay in as the narrative was good - they talked a good game you know?.....but yeah. All hot air and no trousers, each time, sadly.

So depressing. I've been in this since.........well forever...........energiser............drumz..........now this (you could arrange the letters and nearly get 'crap' and that's pretty much what this share is).

Should have got out of this with a loss two years ago........now I've got the pleasure of getting out of this with a large loss (if I sell). Why bother though? Going to park it in the forgotten file now and hope that they pull something magical out of the flames. What a miserable experience this has been.

I don't ..................but it doesn't bear thinking about tbh. Let's hope eh?

Here's hoping ACRM's sales teams are all over the recent news articles about M&S and CO-OP (whom, by all accounts had to torch their own systems in order to escape the clutches of the hackers) and are speaking to them (if they can get through!) and every other FTSE 350/250/100 company urging them to redefine and dramatically increase their defences................if they aren't............well..........that's really not good. They should also be all over the govt, leveraging their contracts into other depts and literally pointing a figure at M&S and saying 'that could be and will be you' if you don't step up. But the sales teams need to be out there, calling/meeting/getting busy....................seriously hoping that they announce some new business soon - if they can't make headway in this market............when it's literally front-page news....................

I agree - I think we're in the s h i t here. I'm in too deep to bail (the irony). I honestly thought they'd pull this out of the bag .........but the longer the silence goes.........well. They'll ask for more money and dilute the share price again.

Hopefully news of some contract wins (bearing in mind cyber security is front-page at the moment) might settle the nerves........or not.

Interesting to see the business to business side of things (so less pressure on acquiring new private investors) growing well. Let's see what the next 6 months bring. I'd still like to see them switch back to divis, than buy-backs (say at 70mill shares in circulation?) and then go to nasdaq and the rerating that'll achieve. Long-term holder here.

So..........the old days of £20 being the ceiling feel long-gone (t used to creep up to £20 and then plummet and the cycle would start again)...........and it feels like £30 is the new barrier. But..............what next for Plus? To my mind they'll have a billion in the bank (next update) unless they announce they've acquired another brokerage with access rights into a market they don't have (but how many markets, of meaningful size are left to get into?) - perhaps they'll push America and India (both massive, but at different maturities of course) further with acquisitions or new market products? Or are they going to go down the commercial route to grab some consistent income? Thoughts are welcome? Would love to see more dividends than buy backs now............but not sure that suits the BoD at Plus.

Do the buy backs continue?

And the markets are seriously in turmoil............which should mean v v good business for Plus.....................and yet the share price continues to fall.........(overall sentiment or something specific to Plus that we don't know about?)

We need good news quick-sharp ...............just got a deep sense of foreboding I'm afraid. Hope they can pull it out of the bag.

Volatility is great for Plus................so why the share price has fallen into the £26's is beyond me..................and IG Group have just come out with some good figures too...........precisely because of this volatile period.............don't understand why we're not pressing forward from the £28.50+ we were at less than, what, a month ago? Thoughts?

I'm sure that's the difference between 'us' (Plus) and CMC and other rivals............they hedge, we don't, so to speak. I'm pretty certain that was true a couple of years (when this topic was raised) and I've not anything since that dissuades of that opinion............but maybe the foray in America has changed things? Or changed the services they offer (and therefore hedging is part of that service?). But look - I've not been (or ever in fact) forensically looking into Plus's accounts etc so I might be factually wrong.

Id just like clarity on sold sales capture/revenue generation tbh. I'm sticking with this, whether I like it or not (in too deep sadly on this).

Would much prefer to see more on the divi front than buybacks. Hopefully they'll stop once they've got it down to 70 million in circulation. And.............share price always tanks after results. Hoping they list on nasdaq soon and see this share really motor.
