Recent discussions among investors regarding Blackbird Plc (BIRD) reflect a mixed sentiment as participants weigh potential growth against inherent risks associated with the company's current stock performance. Key participants like "nickb" and "cabi1" articulated a cautious optimism, suggesting that while the market for video creation is rapidly expanding, the stock has been characterized by volatility, with nickb noting that “punters always pile in on fast rising shares.” The chatter highlighted the importance of upcoming product launches, including a payment gateway, which is seen as pivotal for driving new subscriptions and improving cash flow. Cabi1 reminded fellow investors, “It’s a shit or bust share now,” emphasizing the high stakes involved.
Financially, a recurring theme was the need for Blackbird to increase its user base significantly to achieve break-even, with some estimates suggesting around 10,000 paying subscribers could stabilize cash flow. Participants mentioned revenue potential from existing partnerships and the optimism surrounding industry exposure, especially through platforms like SXSW. Cyberbub emphasized the impact of user growth on share price, stating, “Mr. Market always looks forward,” suggesting that positive metrics could lead to a rally in the stock price. Despite the prevailing uncertainty, there was an undercurrent of bullishness from major stakeholders, captured succinctly by nickb, who declared, “I’m still a buyer, topping up monthly,” indicating a commitment to the long-term value of the stock.
In summary, investor sentiment remains cautiously optimistic but fraught with risks as they await significant operational developments. As the discussions reveal, while the potential exists for growth and stock price appreciation, uncertainty around Blackbird's immediate execution remains a key concern.

Some posts don't take into account what can be generated from sales. Taking the earlier and lower model they would generate surplus cash of over £10M if they can hit 100K of users over 12 mths. Raising less than that from a placing doesn't make sense. |

You all sound scared again because of few PD agents trying to get a few more shares for their buck. |
What you say makes sense HB.I'm not trying to talk the share down, as someone suggested earlier today. I have a lot invested here, as I can see the massive potential if they pull it off. I was simply saying that it will help confidence if they issued a progress report soon. It's critical that they manage to launch on time, and I've been investing long enough to know that delays are far from uncommon.The reality is that there will need to be a fundraise sometime in Q2. I don't think the auditors will sign off the 2024 accounts (due by 30 June, likely to be later this year if only because of launch workload) if they haven't raised at least £3M, but if they want to ramp up the marketing campaigns they will need more. Of course as HB says (and I tend to agree), if the launch has gone well and paid user numbers are starting to ramp up, I imagine that any raise will be done well above 10p. 50m shares at 15p would be a superb result, giving several million quid to send the subscriber numbers 'hockey stick'. Touch wood!NAI etc |
HB, you give me hope again. |
In my book, going it alone is inevitable...and it's what our team expect to happen. |
So slightly more sells than buys in total, but not by much. The tick down to 5.5p offer only reflects the real-world spread all day. Perhaps the MMs are trying to encourage a bit more reading with a narrower spread? |
So 250k at 5p printed |
Probably because of comments regarding rude health and multiple PBB and TATA deals. |
Another good rise today. |
Probably knowing my luck. |

Still waiting for Anne, Youri and Nick to buy some stock in the market. |
Adobe aren’t interested in elevate.io. |

The problem for Adobe is that they can employ 1000 people for 10 years and pay out a large fortune and still not have a viable product let alone one to rival elevate.io... In other words the essence of the AVID problem that SBS defined some 3 years ago I think but made worse by the creation of elevate. All the time that passes while they try to find a competitive route risks more new patents from BIRD that constrain what is open to them as competitors and raises the likely cost of any deal with BIRD |
Who knows. |
You may be right, bonio |
My guess is they will build their own using the Scenery team. |
