[ali47fish] 07/12/2022 13:06

[ali47fish] 06/12/2022 15:04

napoleon so what is the pe ratio/ per- if it is good this should be irrelevant as long as earnings grow and if it is materially ahead - surely that what counts?

[napoleon 14th] 06/12/2022 14:58

Eventually their efforts will result in big eps growth?
Currently the P/E ratio is very high but I'll keep mine for a while longer
as it is obviously a very well run business.

Very good presentation.

[northwards] 06/12/2022 14:47

Very positive & bullish.

[sweenoid] 06/12/2022 14:36

EDITED as it went along Excellent presentation so far
A lot of it is a repeat of the last presentation with the addition of multiple positive comments on robust performance,growth of revenues and margins and of course profit.

Given the recent statements that are incredibly bullish about trading it is bewildering that the response in terms of the share price has been so poor mainly of course due to the fact that so few shares are traded.

There seems to be a disconnect between the statements being made today and what we are interested in as investors
They keep mentioning increasing growth especially in the US market, if given the opportunity I will be asking the CEO why she thinks this is the case and what the company plans to do to increase investor interest- we shall see!I missed the deadline to submit the question , I was hoping to ask the question live and have done that just now.

EDIT - they are answering the question - dire market in UK , doing lots of roadshows, reiterating the statements and CEO disappointed , she made the specific mention that apetite in US better++ than in UK

Interestingly they seem keen on expansion of the company 🙂, low churn in affiliates and members
Great opportunity for growth that they plan to execute on

Impressive presentation and prospects, highly encouraging
Eventually this story will result in returns

Haven't we allAnd don't we allAgreed

I've held shares in Alt for almost 8yrs. Im feeling the time has come for them to seriously thrive!

[napoleon 14th] 03/12/2022 09:20

rivaldo - 8467 most interesting - thanks.


I've had a variable holding thru' thick & thin.
Let the good times roll.....

[northwards] 02/12/2022 09:11

The industry big beast FOUR share price at a multi year high. Bodes well.

[robbnw] 01/12/2022 13:47

Mine too North You only have to read the last update this week to see the scalability

[northwards] 30/11/2022 14:32

Glad you picked up a few. It's now my biggest sipp holding. It's the scalability of the business that excites me. I think further upgrades are likely going forwards.

[robbnw] 30/11/2022 14:29

Thanks 49 Percent upside to the current price I'll take that

[rivaldo] 30/11/2022 12:33

Northwards, you mentioned ALT on another thread to me - funnily enough I'd already bought a few ALT in the mid-20p's, but haven't posted here before as it's a relatively small holding.

Anyway, here's some extracts from Zeus's note for those without access:

"Soaring higher

Altitude has released H1 results for the period to 30 September 2022 showing a
robust expansion of its Services and Merchanting programmes. The Group has
grown its global AIM Smarter membership, increased average revenue per
member, and expanded Merchanting by recruiting more high-quality sales
affiliates. Last week’s revenue and profit upgrades highlight strong ongoing
momentum from Altitude. We continue to believe the Group is well placed for
accelerated future revenue growth, with operational gearing providing
substantial drop through to earnings. The average of our valuation estimates is
now 51.1p, 49.2% upside to last night’s closing price."

"Outlook and forecasts: To date, Altitude has not experienced any adverse impacts from recent macroeconomic turbulence and is confident that FY23 EBITDA will be record breaking for the Group. Last week, explained in our 22 November note, we upgraded FY23 revenue by 18.8% to £16.5m and underlying EBITDA by 22.8% to £1.5m. Further increases to these forecasts could come from favourable FX movements, although our estimates are not predicated on this. Higher growth is forecast to continue into FY24, we therefore increased revenue by 21.1% to £23.7m and adjusted EBITDA by 13.6% to £1.8m.

The Group has signed new Affiliates in H1 2023 that are expected to have a $5m annualised revenue impact. With c. 40 Affiliates at the moment, Management has ambitions to increase this above 100. We continue to believe Altitude has a well-invested, scalable platform to materially grow revenue and earnings.

 Valuation: Despite the positive share price reaction to last week’s trading update, Altitude, at 1.4x FY23 EV/Sales, is still at a 31% discount to the average of UK small cap software and services peers (2.1x FY1). Applying the 2.1x peer mean EV/Sales multiple applied to FY23 sales, adjusted for FY22 net cash, results in a share price estimate of 49.3p for Altitude. We have updated our DCF analysis for latest forecasts and increased the discount rate from 10% to 12%, reflecting increases in interest rates since our March initiation. The result is a 22% increase in the DCF estimate from 42.2p to 51.4p per share.

We also roll-forward our discounted medium-term valuation estimate, now 52.6p per
share, assuming stronger growth in the years to FY26. The average of these three
estimates is 51.1p, 49.2% upside to last night’s closing price."

I wonder if the 115,000 trade this am might be a director buy ?

[sweenoid] 29/11/2022 15:31

[northwards] 29/11/2022 15:12

51 pence by my reading.

[robbnw] 29/11/2022 14:22

I think soHave heard Zeus upgraded to 50 plus?

[steveberyl] 29/11/2022 11:06

Perhaps 40p EOD really quite good under current circumstances.


Must mention the ridiculous spread on Alt, its all over the shop, deters buyers, imho.

[northwards] 29/11/2022 09:58

Time to top up ... ?

[steveberyl] 29/11/2022 09:58

Was ever thus, "Better to travel, than to arrive"

Consolidation at 30p mark, then slowly, slowly, onwards & upwards as Institutions get the Alt bug.

At the rate of growth highlighted, a divi would not be out of the Question within 18 month`s.

[northwards] 29/11/2022 09:51

Not yet. But a very bullish note.
