There are always naysayers driven by jealousy no doubt.
Be interesting to see if we get any footage over the weekend.

Undervalued?! No accounting for stupidity.

Don't get sucked in

I felt sure this was under-valued.
Excellent start.

The directors have bought and have a fair percentage.
I don't blame them!

Not all countries feel the same as we do about different firms.

I see MR 25.000 is back again......interesting trades.

Thanks Janeann for looking in ....you're very welcome.

Hazl, you're the one who gets aggressive whenever I've asked questions. My last post was aimed at defusing tension and misunderstanding. Simply asked why a fundraising wasn't mentioned when you were defending this company.

[janeann] 09/3/2018 09:51

hi hazl; thanks for mentioning this. I cant get overly excited tho - don't understand the whole area enough and haven't grasped why what they do is really needed. I will watch with interest.

Perhaps best to ignore poster 65...our spat goes back a while
anything he writes is likely to be coloured by that

So they raised £9M. I told you they needed money. Lol. Why didn't you say earlier. This looked like a pump and dump with your non stop cut and pastes.

From shares magazine around float-time.
What an accolade!

'Analytics firm Appscatter could prove a big hit when it joins the stock market on 5 September if significant institutional demand to take part in its IPO fundraising is anything to go by.

The app distribution platform originally set out to raise £5m at its AIM listing but has now secured £9m due to better than expected interest from asset managers. Octopus and Legal & General are among the institutions backing the firm. The IPO price will be 65p and its EPIC code is APPS.

Appscatter lets companies distribute and monitor their apps across app stores around the world. The firm has been generating revenue since the start of 2017 and is expected to break even in the first half of 2018, according to chief executive Philip Marcella. He hopes to have 1m subscribers within three years.

Hi hazl, I've looked into the finances and they look like they'll be needing to raise funds soon. They are haemorrhaging money on a grand scale and earning less than my window cleaners. Just a thought that they might go bust if they can't raise any. The recent director buys seem to be just an attempt to raise the price before a placing. As well I wouldn't touch an app from somewhere other than via Google or apple.

Actually a very simple model from what I gather.....but is often the middle-men that make the money.

'The company’s current clients include banks and insurance companies, such as Allianz SE, which often have dozens of unique apps, according to Marcella. “Fifteen percent of all publishers have more than 100 apps, and that’s not the same app translated, it’s different financial apps,” he says.

AppScatter has a first-mover advantage and little direct competition in alternative app store distribution and analytics, Edison Investment Research analysts led by Katherine Thompson said in a note, estimating revenue for the company of 3.3 million pounds in 2017, growing to 10.3 million pounds in 2018.

“We’re complimentary, we’re not competitive,” Marcella said. While there are many tools to build and analyze apps, there are very few to distribute them, he said. “We like to think we’re part of the eco system,” he said.'

Their quote not mine....I think if they have borrowed more or intend to do so
to expand more then that might change but the directors havekept a lot of their shares which is a good sign and have been backed up by Legal and General and so on.

Facts speak for themselves.

'APPS is bordering on breakeven, according to analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2018, before generating positive profits of UK£800.00K in 2019. APPS is therefore projected to breakeven around a couple of months from now! What rate will APPS have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 52.91%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected. '

edit 10th March 2018
Edison suggesting £5.5m profit in 2019

So who is right Edison or aimplywallstreet?

reference post following 60

[hazl] 08/3/2018 10:36

actually this Bloomberg article is very interesting last Sept.
Again Edison has a note-out about when to expect break-even and so on.

Well you've only been on ADVFN for a couple of years....
so perhaps you don't know as much as you think you do.
