Boy, what a pair, shake one and crepe falls out the other.
Another poncy title, another "Chief"what's his job spec? I used to like simple titles like sales director; the person who got the sales in, which got the money in, which got the SP ticking. Any "Chief" must have a tribe so let's see what happens to the staff costs figure. And the wait goes on, la di la di la...

"Bidstack are recruiting now only people with good connections and experience."...Errr......isn't that how recruitment should always work...?

Anyone know why such a large drop? Maybe Sept news not so good..?

I'm no oil person or accountant, but if there's now 100m additional recoverable reserves, isn't it possible to guesstimate possible SP over next 12-36 months, based on current figures? To follow AM's system, give min/max figures and take mid point?

That's my worry, what DVRG and MSYS areplanning in the b/g, hence the constant SP fall? Maybe Helium know, hence their constant selling, why not keep for a few months if they knew SP were going to rise? All seems odd.

Is the plan to let the SP fall, blame it all on Helium, then buy on the cheap? Why not, wouldn't that be good business?

Are you that old auto bot Malaika TwoChew, with a new hat? Still got a wire loose and snorting on the WD40 then.
As for today's RNS what a piece of crêpe, not even a comment from anyone at the partner company!! Probably just a street vendor Trooper Drooper met on a jaunt around Asia, developing "new business." Don't RNSs have to provide "some" substantive detail? I dream as much as anyone but this is getting ridiculous.
Back to my pina colada.

Anyone know possible reasons for the 12% drop?

Ahhh, rise got me over-excited, looked at wrong dates.

Now up 29%!!! Can anything important be announced at an AGM?

In this one I tend to lean towards A's comments; as wise people have said and subsequently been proven correct "history does repeat itself" Promises, fundraises, H1 this H2 that, a Twitter here a Twitter there, part of meta £trn market, plus ça change. The problem is Trooper Drooper, who stumbled into something but doesn't know what to do and his spiv ego won't allow him to recruit good people. Listening to him v listening to someone sensible, like Martin Sorrell... oh boy.
What is the light at the end of this dark tunnel for LTH?

My hat off to you, let's hope he delivers. :-)

Time will tell but can't help feeling 75 is a bit past it, a time for charitable works and nodding off during meetings, not delivering much needed dynamism to an under-achieving company.
Methinks he's been brought in to help nudge up the SP for the placing, after which it tanks. Then Stewart, now on the remuneration committee happily doubles everyone's salary.
Never been a fan of people who come from big company names, unless they've been contracted to deliver specifics and preferably on shares rather than just salary. Classic example being Lisa Hau (from WPP no less), who's sole contribution to date is to exclaim how "excited employees are to be returning to the mother ship post Covid". Ye gods, what IGA is she snorting on?
Finally, Trooper Drooper would never recruit a Warren Buffett or Bill Gates; they are successful people with strong minds of their own. Drooper doesn't like that.
Let's see where the SP is come Sept.
A fed up LTH.

Are the hot air balloons on this bb serious in saying this appointment is good use of our money? The guy is some ageing legal in need of a salary who bumped into AZ down the pub. He's a formality, in to make up the committee numbers for the forthcoming enormous placing, which is required to fund the next 3 years lifestyle. Poor PIs, especially LTH like me, ouch. Off to hack a pizza to pieces.

The contempt Draper and his mate must have for everyone by doubling their salary, for no reason, while the company is still loss making. They can't have any confidence in the future or they'd have bought shares, or replaced some salary with options. On simple logic it doesn't smell good. Always interested in reasoned/logical/factual posts, rampers and de-rampers can bin post their comments

For 2020 and 2021 they were in June then July, so presumably this year's will be August, to maintain the nice pattern. Does anybody work or know anyone in the ad industry, surely they must know how well IGA is doing, revenue/campaign, etc?

TO £248M 2020 but only £460k in 2019 so a one off spectacular something?

Is there an accountant in the house? To me their website looks mickey mouse and their office a serviced desk next to the Lyric theatre in Hammersmith, I know the area (not the place for HNW individuals). Doesn't add up to much yet if I look at AYANDA CAPITAL CN 11014884, whilst directors have past dissolved companies, Ayanda looks good. TO of £248M, profit £17M, cash £19M etc, am I missing something?

Bottmzup,
Whatever the reasons for their initial investment the question is why news now, a year late? And how do we know what's happened since, they may have sold and we'll get notice of it next year! You get my drift, transparency reflects honesty and hence confidence, lack of is normally a sign of.... well, we all know don't we.

If it's a year old then they've started repeating news, to squeeze a bit more gas out of the SP pre-placing. Mailaka2Chew and Co will be happy, being fans of soap opera repeats. "We love them, particularly box series, watch them all day. Also paint drying, that's another good series" So the beat goes on, La de da de de, la de da de da.....
