Bobocaca I would not worry about Charles he/they were paid to spam the boards to manipulate the price.
Amazes me why they think these boards would make a difference to someone buying/selling.

Discounted Cash Flow valuation is a very good way of determining a value of a business.
You mention Sentinel and Crowdstrike. Always good to compare the overvalued US stocks to DT it gives you a better guide to a true valuation. Take Sentinel -46.7% YTD compared to DT -14.09%. CRWD fairs better at -8.27%.
Did DT get sucked into that US bull run. Probably. Now have these companies levelled off at a more realistic value. Each to their own on that one which is why I do my own research.
Let’s never forget DT which at the time had never made a profit got into the FTSE 100.
That in itself should ring a few alarm bells.

Fairly simple process signup to Morningstar then look into
Revenue Growth
Shares Outstanding
Cash flow Growth
Net Income Growth
P/E valuation
Comparison to its peers
5 yr price to free cash flow
Those are to name but a few on the financials.
Though if that is too much trouble. Log onto a forum listen to what others are saying and see which comment gets the most likes.
:)

It was the most ridiculous valuation out there. Had no bearing to the true valuation of the business and was only released after a scathing broker report. Clearly came as a request from the board.
Everyone (nearly everyone) knew that £10 was a farcical price.
600 is definitely more reasonable and I would agree that with business growth that is easily obtainable in the next 18months if not 12

The one bit of advise I would give anyone turning 18. Understand and appreciate the magic of compound interest.
But at that age we have other things to care about.

I loaded up last Thursday already 10% down. Bought them with a 12 year plan in mind to give me some extra funds if I opt for early retirement.
Though the way things are going that won’t happen. :)

NKOTB is correct after last years £149m loss they did make a profit in first six months.
They are moving in the right direction. As long as they are retaining customers along with new ones that should offset the currency exchange weakness that will also impact the company.
Sheltie I still laugh at that Berenberg £10 valuation. What did happen to Charles.

Bobocaca fair point although I may not agree you’ve done your own research and back your own convictions.
IMO this stock isn’t a hedge against Inflation and I won’t be throwing any money at it anytime soon. But is definitely on the watchlist and will see how the year pans out.
Hopefully by then it won’t reach the £10 we have been guaranteed.

Very interesting not one of the short websites are reporting anything. But they do not report below 0.5%

Everything was in Red yesterday after the Fed update. Sometimes it is just the market being the market and investors looking for safe havens. Even the oil stocks were down.

Currently there are no short positions on Darktrace. Last position was Millennium Int back in Feb.
The information is out there.

Great post Sheltie. Far too many on this board and others looking for other excuses for the current market price drop.
The stark reality it the price isn’t being manipulated by anyone it is part of a fierce bear market generated by Inflation and Interest rates.
I will keep the monthly top up S&P ETF going but no chance would I be looking at any Growth stocks. Darktrace might be a good business but So is Apple and Google and they are dropping like a stone.

A fair enough write up.
Though historically Motley Fool has been rightly lambasted on this forum. But then again that is usually when it was negative.

Seen that go through. Very interesting I would hazard a guess that it is one of the fund houses.
Wonder where they managed to pick that amount up not seen much volume sold over the last week.

Great to see some of the old gauged still around Michio and UG.
I always look back fondly on this business when some were getting excited about making a selling masks.
They couldn’t even get that sorted. Said it back then and still stand by it this is a shill business used to spunk the remaining £3m into the directors pockets.

Silly me posted after schools finished was guaranteed to get one bell end reply.
GLA except JREWIN he is a c0ck

Sold out this morning I had far too much risk on the table with 25% of my portfolio already locked up in Evraz. Hopefully will be a winner for all still locked in for long haul.
GLA

Not sure where you get the 3 large Director buys from. When one sells off 575k of shares I would hardly call them buying back 29.4k a big buy.
Dark will recover not sure it will reach its previous heights but even the financials suggest a minimum 25% increase to SP.

Nicole Eagan was allocated/awarded 14,147,500 shares in the IPO

Wait till you find out Jack Stockdale another ex Autonomy was allocated 6,399,750 shares at IPO

No surprise in the drop but it will recover. Not to the expectations of some of the deluded but it will recover. As Charles keeps telling us it will be £10 very soon.
Talking of Charles where has he been did he secure that job with Berenberg.
