Exactly Smithie. We will no doubt get told about share buy backs.
Empty pockets. |
...might be quite a wait for that to happen !
the bod seems to be much more interested in rewarding directors rather than shareholders.
H1
Share-based payments
2.163m$. ouch !!
dividend =?
zero ??
Prior year H1
(1.059m$)
A+ B = 3.2m$ in share based payments.....conbined for H1 this year + H1 last year.
And in H2 ?? |
Yup probably enough to buy back some shares and award options to management.
Would be good to see some benefit for shareholders at some point. |
An encouraging year end update, with EBITDA ahead of expectations and the cash pile up to $28.7m from $18.3m at H1. |

It expects to report a Cash EBITDA margin of approximately 15%, performing ahead of the revised 13% - 14% expectations. The Group's net cash position at 31 December 2024 was $28.7m. The Group will provide its outlook and guidance for 2025 at the time of its full results in April. |
Ha! Yes the early days were great fun hangers. If I remember correctly, it was you being the cynical one and I was the bullish guy. I guess in hindsight I was the more correct. spud |
Spud, you are starting to sound like some guy who used to hang around here in the LOQ days |
All quiet here as ACSO falls through support. I'd love to invest again but search as I may, I just can't see the investment case. Over three years, your capital has been eroded by inflation, the price has been static, millions wasted on buybacks and there's not even been a dividend to sweeten the bitter pill.spud |
Cannacord have been buying - they now own over 13%, with 5.39m shares: |
Looks to have bounced off the bottom, the price has steadily risen over the last 4 weeks, I've noticed that the buybacks have not been reported since the 6th, LPP could be adding to their position. |
Do you have any idea why this has risen so sharply? I can't find news or a broker note. There is usually a trading update later this month, so I'm wondering whether that will reveal something. |
Doing great here. |
 Excellent news today - this new customer has "millions of visitors":

"We look forward to driving ticket sales, streamlining processes, and fostering innovation together." |
I've coded some #LSTM #AI, this creates multiple sims over a period of dates for a stock, an average is then taken of all the simulations and a percentage target is generated from todays price to the target. I've also coded predictive MACD on LSTM too. #ACSO first victim! ?Well the AI says this will bounce here... let's see where she is in 30 days. |
rivaldo- Good point but while waiting is common to both - One to access function the other to buy tickets the technology (to me as a non techie possibly very different and might well need massive and very costly amendments to the codes) to be applicable. However (imo) Ticketmaster is a de-facto monopoly (imo) and subject to who wins the US election might be under very significant legal pressure. |
Hopefully ACSO will benefit from global disgust with Ticketmaster and competition investigations into Live Nation.

Analyst reaction FYI:
"accesso has ‘robust’ balance sheet to ride out Middle East delays - analyst
Peel Hunt retained its buy rating on Accesso Technology Group PLC (AIM:ACSO, OTC:LOQPF) plc stock after the solutions provider to the leisure and entertainment sector adjusted its full-year guidance.
Although certain new projects for Accesso Horizon in the Middle East have been delayed (alongside main customer Six Flags in the US seeing lower recent footfall), Peel Hunt pointed out that accesso “does not perceive increased risk to the overall completion of these projects or their overall contractual value”.
“The group balance sheet remains robust,” added Peel Hunt, with a net cash position of $23.3 million as of 31 July.
Analysts gave the stock a 1,035p price target against a current spot price of 510p."
"Analysts at City broker Shore Capital Markets reaffirmed their buy stance on Accesso Technology Group PLC (AIM:ACSO, OTC:LOQPF) following a revision to the theme park services provider’s full-year guidance.
accesso tightened guidance to between $150 million and $153 million, down from the $160 million forecasted in April.
This adjustment came in response to delays in specific new park openings and lower-than-expected consumer trading volumes during the peak summer months.
“There has been tough trading across key end markets, in particular, low volumes during July (a peak period), as well as delays to accesso Horizon projects in the Middle East,” noted broker Shore Capital Markets.
“Whilst mindful of this update, we see potential in new international markets, the ongoing consumer digitalisation trend and a model that is comfortably supported by cash,” added analysts.
The broker sees a fair value of 710p per share on the stock, representing a near 40% upside to current trading levels." |
Do shareholders ever get anything from this company? Ever paid dividends despite share awards? |
Looks like this has consolidated now at this level - expecting a gradual climb back to 520 - 525 this afternoon. |
I'm looking at the 5 year chart. Typically most people's investment horizon. Shares go up and down and then back again.
I'm looking at 1x valuation for a depressed entry |
Looks like this is turning now on Level 2 - bottom reached. Support at 485p. |
Those who act on MOS write-up must be feeling very upset - An under statement but PC stops me from using a more appropriate term |
We must be looking at different charts mortal1ty |
