Less than 2 weeks to results now.

"The Board is pleased to report that revenue for the period was ahead of expectations."

"Revenue generated remained strong."

"As a result, Alpha expects to deliver a full year out turn above market expectations."

"As we continue to deploy the proceeds raised from the IPO we will be able to facilitate increasingly larger trades and accounts and we look forward to the remainder of this year and beyond with confidence."

[nobilis] 24/8/2017 07:41

800p stock in the making

[malcolmmm] 24/8/2017 07:22

500p to sell 515p to buy, looks like they are short of stock this morning

[malcolmmm] 23/8/2017 19:57

A lot of peculiar share activity here, mms seemed to have too many shares earlier on but now seem short of stock. I expect a rise tomorrow

[teddy boy1] 22/8/2017 16:45

A bit disappointing,the drop in the share price!

My guess is that the overhang in shares has now been cleared and M M's have had to drop the share price in order to attract some sell orders to satisfy the still huge demand for these shares.Nothing more sinister than that!

[philw2009] 22/8/2017 16:25

Do you mean 7.5m pretax profits in 2018?

If we get a decent second-half of 2017, I'd be hoping for a bit more than that in 2018.

But let's see what the interim results bring.

[malcolmmm] 22/8/2017 16:17

The forecast for next year is 7.5m pretax profits, eps up from 16.9p to 18.5p
After two days of solid buys I was surprised the share price dropped but it would still cost about 508.50p to buy.

[philw2009] 22/8/2017 14:54

Nothing is going on.

It's just the market price dropping back a bit after the boost it got from the RNS on 1st August.

You need to wait until the interim results on 5th September to see which way this is going.

They told us on 17th July what the figure is for revenue (6.3m) but we have no idea about margins or earnings.

They say in their trading updates, "During the period Alpha recruited new staff, to support both its continued market penetration strategy and its steps to enhance the effectiveness of its currency risk management solutions through the development of new technology and hedging products."

Recruiting and product development is not cheap so I take that to mean, "we spent a lot of money so we took a hit on margins" but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Either way, it seems like a well-run, growth company so I'm happy to hold (even if I did buy in at 520p).

[malcolmmm] 22/8/2017 13:06

A big drop? typical just when I topped up after two days of investors buying, anyone know whats going on here?
