171.50 right now, about -25%.

[smartypants] 24/8/2017 08:10

all is revealed...not pretty

[bookbroker] 24/8/2017 08:10

Pretty tough on Charles Dunstone, he has endured considerable loss at Talk, and now this, still a very wealthy fellow still despite!

[montyhedge] 24/8/2017 08:07

Should be around 30%.

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 08:05

In auction. We will see it very soon

[1corrado] 24/8/2017 07:59

what about a fall of 50% or even lower.................

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:57

Profit warnings are not received well these days. Look at PFG and CLLN lately

[montyhedge] 24/8/2017 07:56

Disappointing.

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:56

Well I expect beyond 30% to be minimum (the fall in PBT percentage) IMO

[anony mous] 24/8/2017 07:55

Also x-div today 7.75p

[manics] 24/8/2017 07:53

...because that's not currently accurate. The situation is fluid as you suggest. Watch the uncrossing going into auction.

Seb and the team will be steering attention to the strong(er) broad business (away from mobile) imo.

[1corrado] 24/8/2017 07:50

-10% why not - 25%............................

[manics] 24/8/2017 07:47

First calls are coming in -10% at open. I reckon there's a trade here this morning if the market takes comfort from the broader KPI's. The con-call is going on now so Seb and the team will be trying to placate as we speak!

[1corrado] 24/8/2017 07:46

They can also open on the bleu anything is possible and until the bell ring is all in the air.....................and speculation...............

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:43

Happy for you Manics. Hate to see anyone suffering losses.

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:41

As per my experience over years, it is better to exit as early as possible when profit warning is declared. We can always get back in at lower prices if we still believe in the management. IMO GLA

[manics] 24/8/2017 07:41

andysaw: That's the spin direct from Seb posted here as a matter of interest. Not my words, and I've no position here. Interested as a past supplier to their business (and a shareholder pre-merger).

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:31

@Manics - It doesn't matter as the PBT is estimated to be 30% below the 2016/17 PBT and this is just the first warning. The things you mentioned are not the growth factors when PBT has gone down drastically. IMO

[nav_mike] 24/8/2017 07:26

LOL of course no one in the squeaky clean city had advance notice of the profit warning

[andysaw] 24/8/2017 07:26

First big profit warning and as usual two more could be in pipeline IMO, so this was the reason there were huge insider sells recently.There would be a huge fall today IMO.Headline PBT for 2017/18 will be in the range of GBP360m to GBP440m that is far below the headline PBT of GBP501 million for 2016/17 and GBP457 million for 2015/16

Indeed and very much doubt we get anywhere near £2 tomorrow,don't really see this as a big draw for dividend hunters.
