Has BIRD ever given a positive trading update during the last 20 years? The RNS database doesn't go anywhere near as far back. Perhaps early July might see a first?

Someone mopping up the weak sellers, nice..

[nickb] 20/5/2020 15:25

Chris
I would imagine via a trading update.

Our £1m base revenue is tick over so outsize revenue gains at this stage are not unreasonable I feel particularly in this environment.

[geheimnis2] 20/5/2020 15:24

yep - certainly i am expecting good news at the interim announcement

[nickb] 20/5/2020 15:20

Geh
Even being half right or half wrong would be a result

NickB I have to confess that 3 months or so ago I thought x10 was possible but it was a big ask. Now, whilst it seems much more likely, it will still need some large deals to achieve it, and the number that would fall below the RNS threshold does look to be much larger than seemed at all possible then. That's why I topped up this morning.

My worry is that if nothing of any size is announced by 30/06 the market will take it badly. If there are to be many deals rather tan a few large ones BIRD needs to think about how they get the news into the view of investors. Forecasting cash break even this year might send a powerful enough signal to do the trick (and 10x sales would almost certainly achieve that unless costs have been let rip.

[geheimnis2] 20/5/2020 15:10

yes agreed nick

hopefully lots of sign ups behind the scenes

very possible

[nickb] 20/5/2020 15:00

The biggest segment of the market is probably $10k - $100k per deal so no rns

Lots of them to win.

Just a thought.

[geheimnis2] 20/5/2020 14:45

i would have thought we would have had more rns if we were anywhere near that nick!

[geheimnis2] 20/5/2020 14:45

10x sounds quite a stretch but some companies which benefit from COVID are making those sorts of number

[nickb] 20/5/2020 14:42

Chris

So my theory of x10 revenue is reasonable?
(We are coming off a low base)

Webinars still seem to be in demand. Since the end of March BIRD have run them on 9 days with sessions in the morning (UK) and evening (USA) EST and a joint 1 with Zixi on 29/04 with another to come on 28/05. Even at 50 people per Webinar that's 1000 participants. Having taken the trouble to sign up they are likely to be more interested than somebody just passing BIRD of the AWS stall at NAB. My guess is that there could be quite a high conversion rate if the bulk of these are the decision makers as the product is one that almost sells itself in present circumstances and the feedback from the presenters suggests that they are getting good audience participation. I was feeling optimistic enough this morning to have a small top up on the dip.

As I predicted.

I'll stick to the shiny stuff.

[nickb] 20/5/2020 13:50

So 3 year gilts have gone negative with strong investor demand!

[nickb] 20/5/2020 13:43

Quick rise back up

[bonio10000] 20/5/2020 11:40

Might be Christmas at this rate.

[sideshowbull] 20/5/2020 09:46

We are still waiting for OEM..

[sideshowbull] 20/5/2020 09:24

There was part 2 of the options binned by ex employee. See ya.

[bonio10000] 20/5/2020 08:35

Still on the customers at the bottom of the homepage.

So I assume so.

[bonio10000] 20/5/2020 08:34

Only 12 months from April 2019.

So did they renew?
