few sellers trying to drive the price down and get back in cheaper, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
Today will be very interesting,
over the last few days we have seen a few holders weakening and selling out especially yesterday with 2 large sells 50K and 60K but the MMs struggled all day with the waves of buying.
not unexpected a got hit with a rapid 30K of sells at the death to drag us down to 2% up on the day.
Bullish in my eyes are we got shot of over 100K in sellers and still finished up
today is key do we get more profit takers or do the bulls see this as an opportunity to shut out yesterdays sells like when we took the trip down to 110p last week.
we are another day closer to the YE update lots of talk of H2 being actually profitable, I am on the side lines on this and await the figures but looking for the outlook as 2020 was always the year the changes and reset in 2018/19 would take full effect coupled with the new arrangement with Smartest.
long and strong 2020 is the year of YU.
Adam. My sentiments exactly. I am not expecting miracles but as you put it baby steps this coming year building strong foundations
They will surprise, Bobby is fool if they don’t
Well the fact that they refer to it as a loss makes it fairly clear that it turning positive is very unlikely. Not long to wait to find out! Anyway, I'd rather expect less then receive more than the other way around. There is nothing to suggest this will have miraculously turned a profit. The problem with AIM is that people work themselves into a frenzy with unrealistic expectations and when they naturally don't happen then there is a huge sell off and undoes all the hard work. Baby steps.
Statement for H1
EBITDA loss in H2 2019 expected to be significantly lower and continued progression in FY 2020 as the historic contract book continues to expire. We made a decision to temper the rate of revenue growth as we implemented the new processes and focussed on improving margins. We are now in a position to resume our focus on growth utilising the solid foundations in place.
Now the word significantly is key , and I would already have had a pretty good idea in September and made sure FY is peach so I would not be surprised If H2 19 was close to , at break even or even Ebitda positive. We shall soon find out
Sorry meant H1 and H2 not quarters
They already indicated second half would be significantly better than q1, q1 they lost due to the legacy contracts and tight margins, would be wonderful if q2 was even breakeven as that in itself implies q1 20 would move us back in the black..
Game changing stuff, cannot myself see q2 19 as profitable, but anything close the break even is worth double the SP as 2020 would be the year.
I’m more than happy with the current sp consolidation. Sharp rises encourage traders which ultimately leads to frustration. Slow and steady wins the race.
Matt
Selling into the close. Wondered this morning whether we would hold the gains but this is AIM and when has a company on AIM ever traded close to fair value?
Well if you are right and this is profit making already then the update will blow the SP out of the water. I kind of thought we would be 6 or 12 months away from profit. I think it'll take time to "wash through" as BK said.
Yes I do ,
with all new contracts placed at a price to bring in high single digit margins or average out for lower margin contracts more or less been timed out now , a legacy we have from using agents. We now have direct sales alongside trusted agents on contracts to be able to keep to a unbendable accounting processes brought in last year. YU. is a different company from its early start, and professionalism is the key word and the ticket to a increase in share value if the MM's will let us in my view we outgrown LSE and should cut are ties with them , they have made more money here than the companies mcap
you think this trading update will show a profit? I personally can't see that. I think it'll show a steady increase in revenue but I can't see the margin being there just yet. Slow and steady.
The price at the moment is basically where it was end of september before it was shorted to hell and back, and then sat on it from then to now to clear the short by boring Pi's till they sold, it didn't fall on any bad news in fact the news coming in was good, this share has been manipulated since it fell from £12 a share and work for the benefit of the MMs should be illegal this is way undervalued ? we are doing more business than we ever have, and profits will be highlighted this month imho. we are getting close to news and £1.80p will be the price before we get that . but this will take alot longer to get back to £12 a share than the fall it took from there . GLA we are going to need it with these MM's
MMs again taking control over this share lets hope at some point they will let it go
Someone just did that for 10,000 shares
Can we hold the rise before the update
I was trying to be polite!
People are entitled to take profit; especially with chunky holdings, but they'll get snaffled up in short order . . .
I don't even check in often on my holding here - the platform for very significant growth is well founded and obvious (imo).
I don't look to trade or mentally go through scenarios of losses or gains based on very short term price moves.
My strategy is clear ie to build up as large a holding as possible, with a view to holding the stock over the next couple if years and realize a multiple ROI.
We can also possibly / probably anticipate an acquisition approach from a third party within that timeframe, as consolidation takes place.
Let's see where the share price is in few more months - significantly higher than todays imho.
Atb all
can see 140-145 today
Couple of large Sells have gone through this morning at £1.20, and £1.25 any views ?
tick up coming again if so
wow was that a sell at 130p
cant be many left sub 150p
this has 2++ written all over this
