Posted at 20/11/2024 11:32 by shortsqueezer From Zac Ian McDonough, CEO of Blackbird (BIRD), the technology licensor, developer and seller of market-leading cloud native video editing platform, Blackbird, and developer of the online collaborative video editing and content creation platform, elevate.io, gave a product and user update (via video) on elevate.io.Comment: With the CEO till rocking the former 1980s pop star look via the video in the RNS, it is interesting that elevate looks to have achieved the hockey stick growth that its fans would have been hoping for. |
Posted at 10/11/2024 19:51 by sideshowbull I dare not post a chart as every time I do will end in tears..No mind, I am holding all of my BIRD and so are my Friends, CULT, GUILD and special friends. BIRD not for trading anymore IMO I am in. Hold in ISAs or CTF no margin is the key to long life investing. #BWTFDIK #SSB #notgettingmybird. SSB |
Posted at 07/11/2024 20:54 by chriscallen It's becoming very clear that what SBS has consistently said is true: it's very difficult for competitors to do what elevate.io is now doing by using the underlying BIRD software. The competition have been cut off from using BIRDs path by their patents. It could take them years to find even a second best way and by then BIRD will have moved on and taken out more patents.So I think we are nearing the point when hanging on for the price to fall another 0.5p might not be a good move. |
Posted at 26/10/2024 14:38 by bisho4 I'm not saying we can't, I'm saying we won't.If we were going to be bought out, it would have happened already. It doesn't make any sense for Big Tech to wait for the payment gateway to be switched on to know what BIRD can do. Big Tech already know what BIRD have, and what it will be capable of, and how Big Tech would expand it (and incorporate it into their own offerings) if they bought it. There is literally no reason to wait several more months if they want to buy it. Buying it now would eliminate the possibility of a rival buying it. It would reduce the possibility of a bidding war. It would be cheaper to buy it now for, e.g. £2bn, than £4bn in 18 months' time. Or £20bn in 4 years' time. Buying it now would mean the next few months of development and optimisation could take place under the buyer's guidance and direction, tailored for and integrated into their own software/products/sy Buying it now would give the buyer a headstart on commercialisation and pricing plans, offering deals & packages to existing customers. There is no reason to wait 6-12 months to buy BIRD if they know they want it. One final alternative, that cannot be discounted, is that BigTech is developing their own in-house alternative, that will be good enough jot to require spending billions on BIRD, thus making BIRD the Betamax of cloud video editing. |
Posted at 26/10/2024 13:22 by bisho4 @salmon9.The business models most relevant to BIRD are Canva and Figma... Excellent. And how much were they bought out for by Big Tech...? And when they were bought out by Big Tech, was it before launch? Or shortly after launch, when the payment gateway switched on...? Oh, they weren't bought out at all? Okay... I'm not debating the merits of BIRD or elevate's product offering. I am disputing the seemingly undisputable premise that BIRD will be bought out (a) before launch, or (b) shortly after launch. Rather than, as seems obvious to me, we have many years ahead of us before BIRD reaches unicorn status (if it does). |
Posted at 25/10/2024 22:01 by bisho4 @ChrisCallen.Yes, I've seen, and been very impressed by, every video with Sumit Rai. I have been a shareholder since (checks account) 31st Jan 2020. I've followed BIRD closely. I've watched every IMC and Proactive interview. I've bought up to 30p and down to 5p. I've watched every elevate.io promo video with Sumit. I follow SBS on twitter. I have used elevate to create a montage of videos of my cat. I've been reading this message board since Jan 2020. I've followed every Trading Update and pivot from excitement over The Player to excitement over elevate.io I've read countless charts from SSB where he's convinced the share price is about to shoot up, but never does. But that doesn't mean BIRD is going to get bought out before launch (nickb's initial theory) or even shortly afterwards (nickb's Plan B for when elevate is launched and BIRD is still independent). BIRD might deliver what they are promising with elevate.io, but they aren't promising a buyout, or even to make shareholders wealthy. I'd love for BIRD to get bought out as a unicorn, because it would make me very wealthy. But we will still all be here, on this message board, in 12 months' time, talking about paid subscriber numbers, SSB's predictions of an imminent share price rise, and wondering if board members aren't buying shares because they might have options written into their contracts. If the only parallel you can think of is Vodafone, then you ought to read up on Betamax. |
Posted at 25/10/2024 06:40 by bisho4 So a 100% chance of being bought out for billions by this time next year?You must be betting the house on it then! At the risk of rehashing an old and unanswerable debate, why haven't BIRD been bought already? Why risk paying more next year, or risk a rival buying it, or a bidding war? Why not buy BIRD now and oversee this stage of development taking BIRD's team in-house and tailored to their own products and systems? It's like the possibility of time travel. If it were going to happen, it would have happened by now. Imo, we'll still be here this time next year, awaiting the latest subscriber and revenue numbers from BIRD, trying to calculate the free-to-paid conversion rate and listening to SSB's charting predictions that the share price is about to take off 😆 |
Posted at 05/10/2024 10:11 by ortegaworm The below is based on 1 million subscribers paying £30 with an 80% margin. It includes a P/E ratio of 50 (Disruptive Tech) and a Net Interest Margin of 60%1. Calculate Annual Revenue: * Monthly revenue per subscriber: £30 * Annual revenue per subscriber: £30/month * 12 months = £360 * Total annual revenue: £360/subscriber * 1,000,000 subscribers = £360,000,0002. Calculate Gross Profit: * Gross margin: 80% * Gross profit: £360,000,000 * 80% = £288,000,0003. Calculate Net Income: * Net income margin (NIM): 60% * Net income: £288,000,000 * 60% = £172,800,0004. Calculate Earnings Per Share (EPS): * Number of shares: 500,000,000 * EPS: £172,800,000 / 500,000,000 shares = £0.35 (rounded up from £0.3456)5. Calculate Theoretical Share Price: * P/E ratio: 50 * Theoretical share price: £0.35 * 50 = £17.506. Estimate Dividend: * Dividend payout ratio: 40% * Total dividends: £172,800,000 * 40% = £69,120,000 * Dividend per share: £69,120,000 / 500,000,000 shares = £0.14 (rounded up from £0.13824)Summary:Wit |
Posted at 05/10/2024 09:27 by hyper al johnvealsMy £6 target is personal to me, it's the point at which my wife can afford to retire. I certainly won't be selling all my shares at that point, but will need to sell every so often to pay the bills. I can't see the point of selling any until I need the cash as BIRD is the best investment around and even at £60 I will use BIRD as a bank and by then we will have an excellent dividend anyway, so no need to sell any hopefully, and I will have a healthy pension. What will the dividend be at £6 and £60, any guesses? |
Posted at 10/9/2024 16:56 by sideshowbull I have not been commenting too much as thread lead most will think I am a plant.BIRD has come a long way. Frustrasting for most of it. But - I have stuck with BIRD. Always, when investing I believe you need to meet and know the team and leaders. I have done so on numerous occasions(in person), and this is why I keep supporting BIRD. They have tech that is impossible for any other company to reproduce. I know the team and trust the team. Happy BIRD holder and investor. I did mention adding before results too - as I think financials mean absolutely zip when it comes to BIRD "Unicorn" No advice SSB |
