You can make excuses if you want but the video looked like a 1st video student effort in my opinion. I have a few shares here but I’m being a bit cautious cos….. The name elevate seems like a conspicuous metaphor for share price hype, and the same with the Bird thing. Ie shares flying. Almost like the share price is all that really matters. I’m not saying this is a heist on investors, as dunno enough about it…..but I like to see a strong dot com home for a serious global presence rather than an obscure dot io. Hence I’m still in the cautious zone. GL tho

After such a long period of elevated interest rates, investors are now becoming concerned that governments will have to increase expenditure to offset an economic slowdown. In the UK for example, whilst the Budget did raise significant extra tax, the government is also planning expenditure increases at an even faster rate.During October, the valuation of government debt fell back considerably. Alongside, major stock market indices, such as the FTSE 100 Index, returns have also moderated over the summer. These are kinds of conditions when investors seek to pick out businesses that can buck the general trend, and hence global smaller company share prices have started to outperform recently.Unfortunately, UK smaller companies listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM listed stocks) have missed out on this improved trend to date. AIM-listed stocks have been inheritance tax free for many years, and it was feared that the UK Budget would bring this to an end. The uncertainty over the summer has led to AIM-listed share prices continuing to weaken.Pension savings are also inheritance tax free, and the Budget during October has indeed proposed that pension savings will be liable to 40% inheritance tax in future. But in the case of AIM stocks, the inheritance tax liability will be at a reduced rate of 20%.Currently, little additional pension savings are being invested in AIM listed stocks. With the Budget changes however, we believe pension investments in AIM listed stocks may now greatly increase. This is due to two reasons, one that we believe AIM stocks are overdue a period of better share price performance. Secondly, over the longer term, smaller companies typically outperform. Hence, in the coming years, we believe the pension saving flows into AIM stocks will increase due the lower inheritance tax liabilityAs the AIM investment universe is comparatively tiny in comparison to the major stock market indices, even modest increases will, in our view, lead to AIM outperformance. We remain very upbeat about the prospects for the Trust.Gervais Williams & Martin Turner31.10.2024

I agree with your logic.
On one level it seems strange that currently, the share price places no material value at all on Blackbird's achievement in what they have already proved and demonstrated in producing elevate.io thus far, with it's reliable technical performance plus the promises of significant advantages against the competition in what's to come.
After all, Blackbird have have already demonstrated their supreme innovative technical ability with their enterprise business.
However, so far what they have failed to do is prove that they can create a profitable business that is self funding. Hence the scepticism implied in the share price.
For the share market, seeing will be believing. IMHO

@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.

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 😆

I agree that the share price indicates that the investing market has little knowledge about the potential for Blackbird/elevate.
Therefore the share price is disconnected from what is going on within the company in terms of the amazing commercial prospects for it's developments, and it's logical potential for a much higher share price.

What P/E ratio would you put on a disruptive tech company? Surely at least 20 and if so that would give us a share price of around £15 with 1 million customers.* Earnings per Share (EPS): £300,000,000 (annual profit) / 400,000,000 shares = £0.75 per share * Estimated Share Price: £0.75 (EPS) * 20 (P/E ratio) = £15.00 per shareAssuming your figures were accurate we would only need 100000 paying subscribers at £36 per month to see a share price of £1.50 again at the conservative P/E of 20. Here are some examples of historical P/E ratio.High Growth SaaS Tech Companies* Salesforce: Has historically seen P/E ratios in the 40-100 range. * Adobe: Similar to Salesforce, often in the 40-60 range. * Shopify: Peaked at very high P/E ratios (over 100) during its rapid growth phase.Mature Tech Giants (Historically): * P/E ratios tend to be lower and more stable for established companies with proven track records and consistent earnings. * Examples: * Apple: Has fluctuated but generally in the 20-30 range. * Microsoft: Similar to Apple, typically in the 20-35 range. * Google (Alphabet): Also in the 20-30 range historically.

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).
