I think we are at 8p because very few investors are aware of the deep detail of Blackbird's proven IP excellence and the plans for elevate.io
There hasn't been alot of publicity to draw investors' attention. I expect that will come when it is launched in Q1. I feel it would be best to hold back until the publicity is accompanied by a seriously advanced elevate with it's subscription model available. That way people won't just judge a part finished product.
In my opinion, the share price has been seriously held down for many months due to several large institutional investors selling millions of Blackbird shares, probably due to a combination of them not understanding the detail about Blackbird and it's significant potential, and also they may have been liquidating various shares that they hold due to their investors redemptions. There was news yesterday about Liontrust suffering from investors redemptions.

When Blackbird are ready to press the GO button, I feel sure that the share price will rise quickly to a more sensible level. IMHO

This is how I see it.
1. Blackbird management have a clear plan for developing a a very successful business under the current ownership, so they don't need to be taken over.

2. The big companies, who could potentially take Blackbird over must have the technical and marketplace knowledge to see clearly how successful elevate will be, under Blackbird's ownership. They will also be able to make an informed calculation of how much more successful it could be under their ownership.

So, they can work out how much it would be worth paying to buy out Blackbird.
Due to their current size in the marketplace, their calculations would show that it would be worth them bidding billions of dollars to acquire such a high quality ground breaking, innovative, high performance, technically superior video editing platform.
On that basis, I think it is possible that an agreement could be reached.

The longer they delay making a move, the more cost and competition there may be in making an acquisition.

Everyone knows how big video is now and how much it is growing, so to secure the best cutting edge editing platform at an early stage should be an extremely attractive proposition.

The current share price is totally irrelevant because elevate hasn't started trading yet. They would be bidding for the IP which is the net effect of 20 years of research and development just prior to launch. IMHO

Blackbird now supports vector graphic handling through integrated SVG file support enabling superior precision, quality and output. This latest release includes incremental updates to a number of components of the Blackbird platform and technology including support for vector graphic handling through integrated SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) file support.

Vector graphics offer a superior level of control, precision, and quality ensuring that the output is the highest quality possible. Since vector files only store mathematical data instead of pixel information, they are lightweight meaning faster rendering times and easier manipulation, ideal for complex video projects. Furthermore, native handling of this within Blackbird’s core technology provides the basis for other future capabilities such as text management using vector graphic rendering.

The latest upgrade to the Blackbird platform is due to be released on 15th October 2024.

This update will be made available during a maintenance window of 11:00-16:00 BST (6:00-11:00 EST) on the day.

Also as a reminder, in September we released other improvements and feature updates which are noted here hxxps://www.blackbird.video/updates/

SVG File Management

Users can now upload SVG files using the Blackbird web upload tool which is accessible from the Blackbird home page into any given account the user has access to.

These are stored and handled natively in the platform for editing. Current support covers vector objects and embedded images within vector objects. Future support for text handling will be provided in later phases.

The Blackbird editor and underlying technologies now handle native SVG rendering for high quality editing operations and rendering flows.

Vector graphics with text at present can be supported by performing vector export from the creation tool of choice (i.e. Figma, Adobe Creative Suite).


Security and Compliance work

From November onwards, we will be requiring Edge operating system updates to Debian 11 (Bullseye) to be rolled out for ongoing security and compliance purposes.

If my sums are right, at an share price of £2, our mcap is roughly $1 billion.

We should expect some dilution but a 200p share price would be an amazing achievement.

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:With 1 million subscribers and a P/E ratio of 50, Blackbird PLC could theoretically have: * Share price: £17.50 * Dividend: £0.14 per shareImportant Notes: * These figures are significantly lower than with 10 million subscribers, highlighting the impact of scale on a company's valuation. * A P/E of 50 still implies high growth expectations, even with the smaller subscriber base. * All the previous caveats about assumptions and real-world factors still apply.

Finally the Nick B scenario let's not ignore that. Again this is just for fun and some Friday evening entertainment.The acquisition scenario! This adds a whole new dimension of excitement (and potential profit) for Blackbird shareholders. Let's explore how a buyout could play out, assuming the positive factors we've discussed align perfectly:Factors Influencing Buyout Price: * Elevate's exponential growth: The faster and more substantial Elevate's growth, the more attractive Blackbird becomes to potential acquirers. * Market dominance: If Elevate captures a significant share of the prosumer video market and demonstrates a strong network effect, its value increases significantly. * Anti-piracy technology: The proven effectiveness and adoption of Blackbird's anti-piracy technology add another valuable asset to the acquisition target. * Strategic fit: The acquirer's strategic goals and how Blackbird aligns with them will play a crucial role in determining the offer price. * Competition: Interest from multiple potential acquirers could drive up the bidding price.Potential Acquirers: * Major technology companies: Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Adobe – seeking to expand their cloud-based services and content creation tools. * Media and entertainment giants: Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Netflix – aiming to enhance their content production and distribution capabilities. * Video platform providers: Vimeo, YouTube, Twitch – looking to strengthen their offerings and attract more creators.Hypothetical Buyout Scenarios and Returns:It's crucial to remember that these are highly speculative scenarios: * Scenario 1 (Aggressive Acquisition): A major tech giant sees immense strategic value in Blackbird and Elevate, sparking a bidding war. * Buyout Price: £5.00 - £10.00 per share (or even higher!) * Return on Investment: 69x - 139x the current share price (around £0.07) * Scenario 2 (Strategic Acquisition): A media company or video platform provider acquires Blackbird to boost its content creation and anti-piracy capabilities. * Buyout Price: £2.00 - £5.00 per share * Return on Investment: 28x - 69x the current share price * Scenario 3 (Moderate Acquisition): A smaller player or private equity firm acquires Blackbird for its growth potential. * Buyout Price: £1.00 - £2.00 per share * Return on Investment: 14x - 28x the current share priceImportant Considerations: * Timing: The timing of a potential acquisition is unpredictable. It could happen within a year, or it could take several years. * Negotiations: The final buyout price will depend on negotiations between Blackbird and the acquirer. * Shareholder approval: Shareholders will need to approve the acquisition offer. * Regulatory hurdles: The acquisition may be subject to regulatory approvals.Disclaimer: These scenarios are purely hypothetical and should not be considered financial advice. The likelihood and timing of a buyout, as well as the potential return for shareholders, are subject to numerous uncertainties.While a buyout could generate substantial returns for Blackbird shareholders, it's essential to maintain realistic expectations and remember that there's no guarantee it will happen. Investing in Blackbird should be based on its long-term potential and your own investment goals and risk tolerance.

Throw into the mix the Anti Piracy capabilities and we start getting closer to SSB's prediction.This is another exciting layer to add to the Blackbird and Elevate story! If Stephen Streater's patents prove effective in combating live online sports piracy, it could be a major catalyst for Blackbird's share price, especially when combined with the Elevate marketplace. Here's how:Increased Demand for Blackbird's Technology: * Sports broadcasters and rights holders: Highly motivated to protect their valuable content and revenue streams. Blackbird's technology, integrated with Elevate, could become a crucial tool in their anti-piracy efforts. * Streaming platforms and OTT providers: Facing increasing pressure to combat piracy and secure their content delivery. Blackbird's solutions could become essential for them to maintain a competitive edge.New Revenue Streams: * Licensing fees: From broadcasters and platforms utilizing Blackbird's anti-piracy technology. * Integration with Elevate: Potentially offering anti-piracy features as premium add-ons for content creators monetizing live sports content on the Elevate marketplace.Strengthened Competitive Position: * Unique selling proposition: Blackbird's anti-piracy technology could become a key differentiator in the video editing and content delivery market. * Attracting new investors: The potential to address a major challenge in the sports industry could attract significant investment and boost market confidence.Impact on Share Price Projections (with Anti-Piracy Technology): * Scenario 1 (Bullish): Blackbird's anti-piracy technology is highly effective and widely adopted by major sports broadcasters and streaming platforms. Elevate marketplace thrives. * 1 year: Share price could reach £0.50 - £1.00 * 5 years: Share price could reach £3.00 - £5.00+ * 10 years: Share price could reach £10.00 - £20.00+ * Scenario 2 (Neutral): The technology gains moderate adoption, but faces challenges in completely eradicating piracy. Elevate marketplace shows good growth. * 1 year: Share price could reach £0.30 - £0.50 * 5 years: Share price could reach £1.50 - £3.00 * 10 years: Share price could reach £4.00 - £8.00 * Scenario 3 (Bearish): The technology faces limitations or struggles to gain widespread adoption due to competition or technical challenges. Elevate marketplace growth is moderate. * 1 year: Share price could reach £0.20 - £0.30 * 5 years: Share price could reach £0.80 - £1.50 * 10 years: Share price could reach £2.00 - £4.00Important Considerations: * Effectiveness of the technology: The actual impact on piracy rates will be crucial in determining its market value. * Legal and regulatory landscape: The technology needs to comply with relevant laws and regulations. * Industry adoption: Widespread adoption by key players in the sports industry is essential for significant revenue generation.Disclaimer: These projections are highly speculative and should not be considered financial advice. The success of the anti-piracy technology and its impact on Blackbird's share price are subject to numerous uncertainties.The combination of a thriving Elevate marketplace and effective anti-piracy technology could create a powerful growth engine for Blackbird. However, it's crucial to monitor the company's progress, the technology's effectiveness, and industry adoption to assess the likelihood of this scenario unfolding.

I agree.
Anyone who sells at this low share price level must be desperate, and if informed, reluctant.
Clearly, Blackbird's potential, even in the short term, is leagues above where we are now in terms of company value, and hence share price.

Charts can be useful indicators of what is to come but they rely on past history and patterns from years of analysis. What they cannot do is take into account one off occurences. elevate.io has the real potential to be a disruptive product in a large and fast growing market. A parallel can be seen with the impact of AI on the pharmaceutical sector as it identifies potential new drug therapies and cuts the time and significant expense in getting to trials stage. Just look at the movement of the share price of the AI companies that specialise in this.

The large share purchases yesterday were shown as neither buy/sell on the site I use so they are almost certainly inhouse broker transactions. There are only 2 but BIRD has 3 new NEDs none of whom as yet have bought shares. AdeK was plain when she indicated that purchases could be expected. So the two transactions may be part of a larger order that is being filled. If the market is impressed when an RNS is published we should see a further appreciation in the share price After that I expect it to be driven by the news flow and once into 2025 the number of users will obviously become the key driver so IMs updates will be red letter days. So more patience is the order of the day.
