only a few weeks or so now, before half-year results are announced.

I`M sure they wouldn't be organising presentations, for analysts and private and retail investors, if they didn't have lots to show off about.

I can only see a rise to £1.80 - £2 zone over the next month or so.

Fills your boots gents, before the action really starts, I hold 50k worth.




XLMedia (AIM: XLM), a leading provider of performance marketing, will announce half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 on Monday 11 September 2017.
 
A meeting for analysts will be held at 9.00am on the day and a webcast of the presentation will be available to view on XLMedia's website shortly after the conclusion of the meeting.
 
XLMedia will also be holding a presentation for private and retail investors at 5.00pm on Tuesday 12 September 2017 following the announcement of its half year results. The presentation will take place at the offices of Berenberg (60 Threadneedle Street, London EC2R 8HP). Admittance is strictly limited to those who register their attendance for the event.

its funny to me these things, how many UK companies turned out to be scams? There are bad seeds everywhere, XLM sure doesnt look like one given they are very straightforward about their goals, deliver them, pay back, engage with investors etc'.

There are some good Israeli on Aim at the moment, that are cheap purely because they are based in Israel. if this was a uk based company these would be over £2 now.

SCH is a cracker for sure, and will go the same way as pays.

[malcolmmm] 14/8/2017 16:39

Arm I think was an Israeli company, I cant think of any Israeli companies that are dodgy?

[igoe104] 14/8/2017 16:31

Why this dividend growth stock could be a better buy than AstraZeneca.

[malcolmmm] 14/8/2017 16:29

Dodgy? First bought these 7/4/2014 so they have been dodgy a long time

[salchow] 14/8/2017 13:23

There is a lot of money to be made out of websites. Either you decide you trust them or if in any doubt you leave it alone and buy into companies with more traditional assets. Surely not all Israeli companies can be dodgy! This one does generate cash.

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 10:51

+ again, listen to Ory, he doesnt want to go heads up with the price comparsion world but says XLM wants to run these assets as lean search based assets. The cost base should be much lower then normal PWCs and closer to XLM's publishing margins.

[superadams] 14/8/2017 10:47

A major point that has been missed is that marketing costs are the biggest overhead for these sites and all that expenditure is now presumably funnelled in XLM's direction as they can do at least a good a job as anyone else. Therefore XLM benefits twice over.

Love this acquisition, as most people know i work in online gaming and buying websites right now is a crazy business, XL is buying quality assets and not sites that have been set up to be sold in 6 to 12 months to highest bidder, love that it is credit card everybody still shops around for credit cards, have to say a bit let down with the drop on friday so it put a damper on this otherwise we would be deep into 140p plus.

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 10:23

very similar to greedyrates.ca which they bought in FEB. they have stated for a while they want to invest in financial services.
ok, off to vacation, hopefully at 145-150 by the time I get back next week!

[malcolmmm] 14/8/2017 10:22

200p by Xmas with a 7% dividend , they know what they are doing imo.

[amunro] 14/8/2017 10:21

Its web related and makes money so i suppose it fits. But yes, being too diversified could cause problems and lack of focus.

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 10:19

ok fine. Regardless of the noise I still think its a great acquisition.

[eh9] 14/8/2017 10:18

$7m out of $27m net cash at last reported is 26% of cash. This requires mandatory reporting if the company is in any way reputable.

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 10:12

market cap is ~350MIL US and this cost 7MIL how do you reach 10%?
you keep throwing out comments that are very easily rebutted, check facts maybe before posting?

[eh9] 14/8/2017 10:02

It is almost 10% of market cap and a significant amount of cash on the bs therefore it would be unwise not to have disclosed

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 09:51

EH9 not true --> hxxp://www.mainmarketaimguide.com/additionalresources/appendices/appendix-vi

there are thresholds that need to be passed for any / full disclosure. In case they are passed they would have to be much more specific. in this case its quite obvious the asset didnt pass the threshold, hence they chose to update us.

[eh9] 14/8/2017 09:49

It's a legal req to update the market on acquisitions.

[tomstone12] 14/8/2017 09:29

funny thing is, they chose to update the market about this acquisition which obviously means they didn't have to (if they had to would be a lot more financials there)
I assume the reasons is not to show the PE multi they paid for competitive reasons. And yet there were always be those that will find a negative :)

[croasdalelfc] 14/8/2017 09:17

There is an investors presentation on the 12th - hopefully will smooth a few of the worried well
