Posted at 15/8/2016 07:57 by shauney2 From city wire,Best and Webb top up on tumbling Centaur Small cap investors Philip Best and Marc Saint John Webb at Quaero Capital have added to their holding in Centaur Media (CAU) after its share price almost halved since the start of the year. Citywire A-rated Best and + rated Webb increased their holding to 4.1% of the media group from worth £2.3 million at a share price of 38.6p, down 47% year to date. The shares are held in the micro and small cap fund Argos Funds Argonaut. At the end of July Centaur reported that cost reductions were underway to achieve £2 million in annual savings. Weakness in advertising caused a 10% slide in financial services revenues, although reported revenues grew by 8% to £39.9 million. In their monthly review, Best and Webb said the company’s removal from the FTSE 250 index in June triggered selling by ETFs and index-tracking funds which put downward pressure on the shares, which they saw as excessive. |
Posted at 01/8/2016 22:18 by battlebus2 Eastbourne a lot of investors have portfolios specifically for income so it will matter to some. |
Posted at 29/7/2016 07:26 by battlebus2 It's going to take another year or two to turn this around investors but no point in selling at today's price imv so long as we still pay 5% in dividends. |
Posted at 17/3/2016 08:44 by janekane Yes it's a pity that this company hasn't a great deal of supporting small investors silly little sells have a dramatic effect on the spThe big institutions seem to like it and they continue to hold If this continues to drop I will buy more for the Divi over 7% return |
Posted at 21/9/2013 12:36 by janekane I,m very surprised the long term investors hav,nt spotted this one |
Posted at 07/3/2013 18:54 by janekane Traditionally the second half covers the dismal first 6 months its a good company going forward Great growth potential + a decent 6.6% divi For any private investor looking at this read the balance sheet for yourselves ,marksp2011 has an arterial motive to try and run this down he is upset by my excellent warning over on the galleon thread !my research their pointed to trouble and I said sub 1p. Was on the cards He gave me the usual bile of an investor who would not listen to the other version of the truth My research was proved right this week with a massive drop in gons share price and the probability of suspension |
Posted at 31/3/2012 16:05 by jag63 simple???? 4,813 of 10,765 - P3dr036 09/11/10, 08:58:30 Selftrade are accepting trades in VGM - but only by phone at present. Which is understandable as the VGM shareholding is still showing the pre-consolidation [old] figure so on-line trading is temporarily unavailable. 4,814 of 10,765 - Wenlynn 09/11/10, 09:00:26 janekane, No - it's not around �200 ! 4,815 of 10,765 - Smelgy 09/11/10, 09:01:47 ........oddly enough, on the old basis, although the number of trades is down, the volume is, theoretically, up on yesterday at this time. So it appears to me that investors are now realising that consolidation won't be a problem. 4,816 of 10,765 - underperformer 09/11/10, 09:02:18 would spreads be tighter ? 4,817 of 10,765 - M.T.Glass 09/11/10, 09:04:57 janekane - 9 Nov'10 - 08:52 - 4805 of 4815 for those simpletons who are short of a mathematician's brain to work out the correct closing price last night multiplied by 50 here they are bid 4.15p--------� offer 4.3p-------�2 errr... jk - you are out by a factor of a hundred! 207.5p, not �207.50 215p, not �215 (your figures indicate a 5000-fold consolidation!) .................... Quite the simpleton !! lol |
Posted at 10/5/2008 11:13 by grigor Financial TimesInvestors tune out of small media groups Published: May 9 2008 23:16 | Last updated: May 9 2008 23:16 These are dark days for the UK's small commercial media companies, overshadowed by scandal and with their share prices locked in a cellar. But two deals announced in recent days have shone a ray of light into the gloom, albeit they could signal the end of an era in which media entrepreneurs believed that the stock markets represented the sunny side of the street. UBC's market capitalisation at the time stood at less than £14m. It had £4m in cash and its remaining division had 2007 earnings which, on a multiple of only 10 would value them at £6.5m. So the deal suggested that the company was being seriously undervalued by the market. Then on Friday, Tinopolis, the Welsh television producer that makes Question Time for the BBC, announced an agreed £44.7m approach from the private equity house Vitruvian that valued the shares at 51 per cent over their six-month average price on Aim. Ron Jones, chairman of Tinopolis, said: "Small cap companies have fallen a bit out of favour with institutional investors, while media companies in that segment particularly have been disadvantaged by the publicity surrounding sleaze and deceit [on premium-rate telephone services], so together that has created a difficult environment. "We came to the conclusion that we had gone on the market to secure the right funding to develop the business. Once it became difficult to do that, if not actually closed to us, we were really looking for a new funding structure." Toby Wyles of Vitruvian added: "I think we have got into a bit of a negative cycle. "Entrepreneurial businesses came to Aim and other bourses round Europe for currency to grow their businesses and in return they promised investors growth in the share price in particular. The problem is that, with the lack of liquidity in the market and big institutional investors focusing their portfolios more and more on large-cap stocks where there is a lot of liquidity, both parties have become frustrated. "Companies haven't been able to get funding and the investors have grown frustrated that the share prices have gone sideways. For many of those companies, the stock market is just not the right price." The same thinking seems to be driving RDF Media. Hit by the the fall-out from a row over a promotional video for its documentary on the Queen that was misleadingly edited, the company is now heading for a management buy-out. Andrew Walsh, analyst at Landsbanki, said: "There are a number of reasons why we are seeing this, but one of the main factors is that these are lowly-rated low liquidity companies with earnings visibility issues and in the current climate, portfolio managers are trying to de-risk as much as they possibly can." Patrick Yau, an analyst at Ingenious Securities, added: "It represents quite an interesting trend. "This morning we saw Shed Media shares moving up, presumably because they are next in line and have been rated far more modestly than the multiples which these companies are valued on. "I think Tinopolis have done the right thing." He pointed to other areas of possible consolidation in the media sector where companies were trading at low multiples of their projected earnings, including the business-to-business publishers Centaur, which trades at 8 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and Wilmington, trading on a multiple of 10. Both analysts said they expected the remaining businesses of UBC Media to be taken private over the next few months. Simon Cole, chief executive of the company, said: "The fact is that we are living in a neighbourhood where the streetlights aren't working and nobody wants to buy a house there, no matter how nicely we do up our properties." Shares in UBC closed 1.6 per cent higher at 8.38p, Tinopolis rose 28 per cent to 43½p while Shed closed at 75p, up 8.7 per cent. |
