Posted at 08/12/2006 10:39 by spiritbear The small investors selling, the larger investors holding/buying...sma |
Posted at 16/11/2006 07:43 by spiritbear I guess £250,000 is such a small amount, that even if the offer is not accepted, it's still worth the risk for the suitor. At least it would get investors speculating and other competitors to have another look at SPG as a possible takeover target. Nothing better than the feeling of loosing out, as a motivator! All very interesting.I think this am will still see a lot of share price activity, then afternoon share price begin to settle. I guess that means invest first thing am and wait and see. Good luck! |
Posted at 19/9/2006 18:10 by spiritbear DavidB - You seem to have changed your tune...we did try to tell you! Do you still feel this could be a take over target?Both Steve and the new CEO own a vast amount of shares as they tried to prevent a take over, but with Steve now gone, I'm not sure what happens to his share of the pie. Do you think Steve N. will use his share plus the investors that he brought in for a take over? Will he have the Will power to walk away? It's time for a new twist! |
Posted at 04/8/2006 19:17 by spiritbear I still think there's Boardroom confusion with regards to Steve Nicholson's vision as to what to do with 'Print'. My guess would be now that a new CEO is in place, with a Print background, he will want to keep the Print section, though in a different form.The only way I see that working, is end the Print Section finally, and let the Events/Internet Section absorb the relevant print titles. This would cut some salary costs, like the Print MD, as the titles would come under the Events or Internet MD's. This would also mean that the print costs get absorbed into the Events/Internet section. Therefore, no more direct Print Section losses. In one way those that want the end of Print get their way, and those pro Print get to keep Print titles. Print losses absorbed, and the die hard traditional spg print investors are happy. It may even mean Print Sales Directors recently fired by Steve in the Print section, would get their jobs back, but not sure Print MD would or would want to come back even if a new post was offered to him. Poor guy couldn't have been there for more than a year or so. But I do think an announcement as to what the Board have aligned on is very needed, not just for themselves as a company, but for the investors! Can't wait for the next news announcement for the new future of SPG. This is better than tv soaps! |
Posted at 01/4/2005 06:31 by kuqi Interesting, Spiritbear, and obviously very much an inside view of what's going on. Maybe we should allow the regime time to put plans in place and see them through, although how much time investors will allow is another matter. I can't see this Utilico lot standing around for too long watching their investment diminish with every new trading statement.Whether you're right or not on all these plans remains to be seen, but when is the company just going to get on and settle down into a defined business structure they're happy with. I know all businesses need to develop, reassess certain activities etc., but there never seems to be an end with SPG. It's never just minor tweaking either, but constant radical change, which leads me to believe that the current management still haven't formulated their blueprint for returning to any sort of profit, let alone sustained profit. |
Posted at 07/12/2004 18:39 by pachiaammos This share is moving out of the speculative category into the zone where it can be considered by more-cautious investors. It has delivered reasonable results for the past 12 months. The new strategy seems to be working. |
Posted at 02/8/2004 22:21 by qut diku - I can't believe that director was desperate enough to get approx £2,800 by selling 25,000 shares on day before AGM, thereby making himself and company look right IDIOTS before investors. What wonderful advertising for a media company!!! Also I wasn't over-impressed with AGM statement: 'broadly in line with expectations'. Broadly to my mind means ok but not totally up to scratch or, even worse, something's up. Not very inspiring stuff and no meat on the bones. |
Posted at 23/7/2004 23:18 by diku More from the statement of 15th June below...I particularly like the "a key participant in industry consolidation"...I would not be surprised to see SPM buy another media company or merge or even get a bid...I believe they hardly have any debt...institutional investors will support a rights issue in order to fund the purchase to increase the scale of their business... The company has stabilised margins, building a strong platform to develop a world-class media business over the next 3 to 5 years, it said. The business will capitalise on current opportunities, will strengthen its offer with the launch of new products and be a key participant in industry consolidation. SPG also said it is financially sound and increasingly cash generative due to the growth in its conferences and executive management operations. The medium term outlook is favourable based on current market conditions, but due to the volatility of the market in recent years the board feels it would be prudent to resist forecasting anticipated performance in the short term. It did say trading from January through to March 2004 suggests the group is on track to achieve its financial targets and market conditions continue to look satisfactory. "The board is confident that the group has an exciting future and opportunity for sustained growth |
Posted at 22/5/2004 18:16 by wyvernred "would anybody be interested in buying this company..."You taking about investors buying shares in this company, or another company buying them, diku? Either way the answer's the same IMO.....not if they had any sense. |
Posted at 02/3/2004 17:28 by diku Hyper AlI have no idea how to create a new thread, just know how to post on the thread...Every time I come on this thread & see Sodra Petroleum at the header,I think I am on the wrong thread so for anyone out there in the know how please,please remove the Sodra Petroleum as the header & put SPG Media or start a new thread with the correct header... Kitkat I take it you are still here with SPM previously known as SPB... Last two days big sizes transactions have gone through...either overhang clearing out or new investors coming in...will have to watch RNS news... Having changed their name from SPB Publishing to SPB Media, I think they are gradually going more towards the Conference & Exibition side of media with the likes of Mice Group, ITE, Tarsus...There is not much money in the publishing/printing side of the business, margins are squeezed etc,etc...more money on the creativity side of the business...thus the name change & higher rating... What is your take on this... |
