RNS came in that JPMorgan Asset Management have been buying shared from an European fund. The JPM UK smaller cap trust always held ALPH. Many other UK small funds do not own it and I believe they are slowly waking up to this stock. Also note the UK, European, Georgian banking and finance stocks are generally up. This is stock to hold for years and it is paying off.... around 30% per year for the past 25 months.

Post script: At 2237p prior to the TU we've had a strong move up to 2463p as I type a 10% rise in three days. ALPH has moved out of the four month sideways channel. Mr Market appears to be responding to the return of organic growth.

As I previously described ALPH has characteristics that work in their favour throughout the business cycle. If we now have an environment with organic growth and high interest rates perpetuating - then ALPH should do very well.

Alpha Group International plc, with a market capitalisation of approximately £1 billion, offers foreign exchange risk management and alternative banking solutions across the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, and other international markets.

Revenue streams primarily come from its Alpha Pay segment (£72.30 million) and Institutional segment (£67.47 million), along with additional contributions from Corporate Toronto, Corporate Amsterdam, and Corporate London (excluding Amsterdam).

Alpha Group International has achieved an impressive earnings growth of 46.3% over the past year, significantly outpacing the Capital Markets industry's growth rate of 12.5%. This remarkable performance is further supported by the company's debt-free status, enhancing its appeal in terms of financial stability.

With NTI the company's price-to-earnings ratio stands at a favourable 10.6x, compared to the UK market's average of 16x, indicating good relative value. Moreover, Alpha benefits from high-quality non-cash earnings and positive free cash flow, which are likely to sustain its robust financial health and drive future growth.

Today, I read that Wells Fargo has raised its interest income forecast, driven by robust dealmaking, which in turn boosted their share price by 6%. Similarly, JPMorgan Chase exceeded expectations for net interest income, propelling its shares upwards and marking record profits for any bank.

Across the pond, they tend to boast about such achievements, while ALPH continues to remain modestly humble even embarrassed!

Apologies this is a low evidence based, low brow, short video link from me as to what is happening to the ALPH share price amongst the institutions (tiny PI volume). Similar happened this time last year. Note pre-fix the number 2 to the values shown here to get ALPH's share price. Enjoy:

The issue for any broker who had a liquidity provider pull out would be that with a more concentrated panel of liquidity providers the company’s lines of credit would change and they would either need to reduce their credit appetite which would lose them competitive, usually high value deals or they would have to take bigger risks when extending lines of credit. This risk is present amongst all brokers although is more material to a broker who focuses on selling products that require them to extend credit lines like Alpha. This is of course in isolation and there would probably be wider ramifications if any broker were to have a Tier 1 bank essentially refuse to work with them. Alpha is still a great business and this is a very unlikely scenario, but this industry is really quite new and is evolving constantly. Alpha is a good example of one stage of the industry’s evolution that they pioneered and the competition haven’t really caught up to them yet.

The FX brokerage industry came about because banks weren’t providing the same level of service and price to SMEs as they were their FTSE 250 clients. All it would take is for the BOD of a bank to see an FX brokerage come on their radar and think ‘why are we letting this company steal our customers and make a fortune selling them our products at a markup? Why don’t we just spin up a proper corporate FX desk ourselves and take this business for ourselves?’.

Having said that my opinion of Alpha in relation to every other FX brokerage is that they are the best managed, best staffed and by far the most agile and innovative.

I think it's due to FTSE250 as the decrease in ALPH share price EOD is similar to what it was prior to RNS.

It just occurred to me that llama_investor posted his negative outlook on ALPH a day after Millennium International Management LP opened a 0.50% short position in ALPH on Morgan leaving. If he followed their lead, he likely lost money betting the stock would decline. I hope he recovers his losses or held on, as he might break even today if he didn’t use leverage. It takes two to make a market, and unfortunately, he got his bet wrong. Most short sellers don’t make money, so it’s important to primarily invest in an index and have small, long positions as satellites.

We have no concerns regarding Millennium and there 5,800+ employees still holding that losing short. I am sure they hire anyone to fill those jobs. On a positive note, JPMorgan has been increasing its allocation to ALPH. Although they sold some shares earlier this year, ALPH was a top holding at the start of the year, and JPMorgan has been buying back shares recently. They are well positioned to best forecast the neutral rate and can analyse companies better than us, but are slower to react than PI who can sell and buy faster.

It does not matter if an large trade is a BUY or SELL as the share price has to be at an agreeable price between both the seller and the buyer. We do not know if it is a buyer who wants more stock, or a seller who wants less stock. Given the direction of the share price being side ways there is equal amounts of sellers to buyers. Noting also that lots of the daily volatility is also down to the FTSE250 index traders and any sentiment is at index level and not ALPH.

I know we do not operate in the US but any institutional "sentiment" will be around the US labour market today that influence the neutral rates globally (being the reserve currency). I would hope for good employment numbers.

How have the buybacks been a headwind? They announced them when shares were trading at £14.80!

Also, just to note that the 2 most recent share scheme from 2022 have the below conditions;

"The gain that an F shareholder could receive is capped through placing a ceiling on the maximum market capitalisation of Alpha of £1,867m. The result of doing so is that the F Shares will be entitled to a pro rata share of the gain in market capitalisation of Alpha between £740m and the market capitalisation ceiling of £1,867m."

"The rate of conversion that the G and H Shares will be regarded as worth, is a pro rata share of the market capitalisation gain of Alpha above a hurdle price of £740m. The gain that a shareholder could receive is capped through placing a ceiling on the maximum market capitalisation of Alpha of £1,867m. The result of doing so is that the G and H Shares will be entitled to a pro rata share of the gain in market capitalisation of Alpha between £740m and the market capitalisation ceiling of £1,867m."

So they don't benefit at all unless the share price is above around £17.20, capped at £43.40. So they is a clear desire to get the share price significantly above current levels
