Going fishing, not going to hook this one.

Was the 10k a buy or a sell?

Must admit when I bought last October some appeared as sells on here. I don't have the right tools setup.

One buy today. Concerned investor.

Can someone explain to me the offer period now please? We are awaiting an announcement one way or another. This can't be indefinite, can it?

The 'noise' is distracting from reasoned posts whatever side on the fence you're on.

It wasn't me...

I need to look back at last year and see how the share price correlated when Liontrust shipped out and and Schroders stepped in.

Actually first organic listing for "sell your iPhone" and "sell my iPhone". Obviously competitor ads in front.

Want to see on Monday who was selling on Friday. Not sure an offer will materialise just yetbutnot in the too distant future. However, it is now publicly known the owners want to sell for the right price.

You're right that they cut back renting because they needed more capital. I believe it shows they have a firm grip of their controls. What I'm hoping is that they have proven the rental model income streams for someone who can fund the strategy for an acquisition to take place at a multiple from where we are.

4.5:1 sell to buy ratio today

That was yesterday and the volume has certainly dropped today. The truth is somewhere between pessimists and optimists on this forum.

The results were on-par and not excellent. What these results have done is alleviate many fears. No bonuses will be paid because targets have been missed. I believe debt was/is a concern because they specifically talk about this in the trading update where they haven't done so before. "Leverage at 30 November 2023, being EBITDA to net debt, was 1.7x (31 May 2023: 2.0x)". One of the metrics for the covenant kicks in at 2.5 so I think debt is/was a genuine reason for caution. Another phrase in the statement points to rental requiring too much capital as it stands with "management's focus on cash versus rental growth". This strikes me as the management team having a tight controls and reporting which is a positive in my view. I think this is a turning point. Interesting what happens in the next 2 working days.

Does all the speculation boil down to the next set of results and what are the first things you will be looking out for in the results assuming they come out before the offer period expires?

A great many updates on companies house for EcoATM International Limited this year #speculation

With my non-financial expertise hat on, IF they have the 'same' year as last year net income should be around 7.5m, earnings per share 9p/share, net change in cash 6.25m...

Wasn't Gazelle acquired by Outerwall Inc (owner of ecoATM) at the end of 2015
