28th May - 5 Analysts:-

Analysts remain optimistic about Bloomsbury’s prospects, with all recommendations skewed towards ‘Buy’. The target price range of 700p to 850p suggests a potential upside of 59.03%, which could be enticing for investors seeking growth opportunities. The average target price of 788p underscores a bullish sentiment, fuelled by Bloomsbury’s strategic expansion in digital resources and databases, catering to a growing demand for online educational content.

No problem. Not that I normally day trade, but having read Meghan's Stockopedia BMY write-up on today's RNS, I decided to bail at just over £5.50 for a pleasant if limited profit.

As she highlights, the rest of the business (ex-SJM and HP) is doing pretty poorly, so why gamble on when SJM will have her next book available for publication?

I may well re-enter on further weakness.

I still make it 18% EPS growth per year over last 5 years, so very good.

I agree with Shanklin that 630 was a fair price; undervalued I’d say even at that. However, the markets aren’t loving British stocks at present and guidance for this year wasn’t strong, so I’m not sure when the price will move upwards again.

I was hoping the acquisitions would boost the year just finished and the current year, but they’ve made little difference.

Personally I thought the results were pretty poor given the prior year but they were as detailed in the TS and IMHO at 530 were more than in the price.

We have more SJM books in the pipeline and the HP TV series to come so that should outweigh the more sloth like parts of the business

Points very well made 74tom

Given the very strong H1, inorganic growth and modest broker expectations, a beat was virtually nailed on. I am genuinely surprised they were unable to use the word “significant”. Trading has obviously been pretty weak albeit BMY beat by assuming something even worse.

As you say, the slate of future SJM books should be a great help going forward.

Shanklin, I have to say it was one of the easier trading setups that I've encountered. They only needed revenue of >£154.2m in H2 to beat the £333.4m forecast. Rowan & Littlefield will have added ~£14m of inorganic revenue, which took the organic requirement down to ~£141m.

H2 2023 came in at £141.1m & obviously last year was £206m, so the bar certainly looked achievable.

Overall, I think BMY need to be commended on masterful management of expectations. Prudent forecasting & solid execution is exactly what is needed in today's markets. They are building a really nice business & the next SJM book will likely drive the next breakout. If they use that exceptional cash flow to make another material acquisition then it really cements value creation.

There is something for everyone here.

This time last year there were at least a couple of significantly ahead trading updates - nothing this time, which surprises me slightly as I thought EPS forecast looked too low and was hoping for an upgrade to justify the somewhat lofty valuation (less so now given recent fall). I also had a few question marks about the new Amazon deal, and whether this would be as profitable as the previous deal (my understanding was that BMY had a good deal, but unclear if the new deal will be as favourable). For these reasons I've been sitting on the sidelines, but will reassess when the next trading update drops.

So basically Amazon are bullies, rest assured they would have screwed Bloomsbury.
I noticed Amazon uk discount some of the top sellers ridiculously cheap.
I suspect that’s why SABU were shorting hoping no deal would be reached, that’s why the share price has been weak.
Hopefully things can push on from here.

Yes, agreed Saltwood. Also in better market conditions, their record of consistent growth, strong ROCE/ROE, margin improvements, net cash etc could lead to a far higher multiple that they're on today.

Completely different sector but if you look at mid-cap engineering type companies, they demonstrate similar characteristics and can trade on 20x.

However until interest rates come down and there are greater animal spirits in the market again, BMY share price will be constrained but I dont see much downside though
