Good to see a new appointment. Hopefully it will prove a good one for FUTR:

Jason will focus on Future’s merchandising strategy, improving funnel conversion and developing retail best practice. He will also work on promotions and deals alongside supporting the development of Future’s product roadmap.

No news on their website at the address below in February and usually at least one snippet a month recently. Overdue some and hope it is good. Come on FUTR!

120p on way

[tattooed93] 02/2/2017 15:49

If Schroders carry on selling then 120p target quickly

Got home tonight to see these up on huge volume which is pleasing.

The Capital Market day recently has clearly caught the attention of the institutions to drive such massive volume and if someone is selling millions someone is buying millons. The price rising on the deal is very positive. They clearly want to be in before the AGM and trading statement next week.

70% earnings growth, 80% margins and big operaional cashflow.

GANP.

The danger here is that Schroders start selling their big stake again. They are very trigger happy with stakes in companies nowadays.

Schroeder dumping

Only another 78million to lob

I'll give u 4p for the lot

I hold FUTR.

Why would they need a placing? They had £2.8m cash at the end of the year and £6m operating cashflow. 0.4p adjusted eps, 80% margins.

If they were going to have a placing would the directors not wait till then and buy shares in the placing rather than buy them in the market a month ago, ahead of the forthcoming trading update.

Earnigs are forecast to grow over 70% in the coming year.

I'm rather pleased they were highlighted elsewhere for me.

Will buy back at 10p I suspect they will be a placing of shares

Maybe even a profit warning as Pearson has warned todah

Not that this made a profit The Group pre-tax loss was £14.9m (2015: £2.3m).

sold out last week
too many marginal loss making titles in this business

[russman] 06/12/2016 12:14

Well we hope the CFO knows his numbers.

[russman] 04/12/2016 09:48

That is a large late trade.

Further demonstration of the restructuring and a new focus delivering.Largely off the radar and somewhat forgotten, but the future looks a whole let better than it has done for years.

[jotoha2] 27/10/2016 12:50

Henderson out and UBS in , nice .

[jotoha2] 18/10/2016 09:49

Then again , it's looking like the market thinks the takeout of Imagine is a bit of a damp squid. Will take another look when it hits 5p

[mikeymiket] 07/10/2016 10:39

Let's hope so. Have held this share for a long time...

[jotoha2] 07/10/2016 08:50

Maybe this one has a future after all!

A few more thoughtshttp://www.privatepunter.co.uk/News/looking-to-the-future-21-november-2014

Quiet thread may be of interest to others taking a look

[snape] 29/5/2014 08:24

Looks like a good disposal to me.
£24m for non core assets and covers c.90% of the market cap.
After accounting for debt the Techradar brand and Tech/consumer titles must make this a decent recovery/value play?
Graph looks good too!

[diku] 03/4/2014 16:37

Guys any hope here?...

In the dim and distant past, I used to buy Amiga Format, which was published by Future. One of their writers went off to work for a caravan magazine, which showed a distinct lack of confidence. ;)

The decline of the Amiga, and hence obviously the magazine, was known in late 1993. Amazingly, it managed to struggle on until 2000. I had long since given up interest in Amigas, but I occasionally took a look at the circulation figures. They didn't make for inspiring reading.

Ah. Happy days.
