I wonder if the share price is up in part on the announcement of Crozier's departure at ITV? That that might herald a change in stance on ITV having another pop at ETO?

Great news Werty. Glad to see they have appointed a top film director, a succesful narnia film would be huge for eone and could lead to more films to complete the rest of the books.

Joe Johnston named as film director for the silverchair movie. Quite a high profile director with such movies as Captain America and jumanji under his belt.

Theres no suggestion in article of a takeover of Eone. Eone produce content for Netflix and this is $1b of new money being used to purchase content for netflix, therefore it is likely that at least some of this new money will be coming eones way.

They would need to raise much more than that if they were interested in acquiring ETO. The current market cap is $1.35bn and any predator would need to be prepared to pay a premium of at least 12.5/15.0% to raise any initial interest from CPPB! :0)

"Netflix Looks to Raise Another $1 Billion in Debt for Content & More

Netflix is planning to issue €1 billion ($1.08 billion) in senior notes for “general corporate purposes,” including content acquisitions.

The streaming giant intends to offer €1 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes through an offering outside the United States to “non-U.S. persons.” Among the areas that Netflix plans to use the net proceeds for are content acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments, working capital and potential acquisitions and strategic transactions."

"One prominent retailer summed current trading up thus: “The market is being driven by red hot toys and discounting.” Several ranges have got off to a great start; PJ Masks, LOL Surprise, Fingerlings, Spinners and Fidget Cubes amongst others."

Looking back at the previous attempts at breaking out of this price range they were all on the back of large one or two day jumps in share value, this time there does seem to be a more measured approach. Will it make a difference? Only time will tell. I think once the resistance is broken we might see some blue sky rises for a while at least.

A new interview with the UK and Aus heads of TV. Mentions 6 upcoming tv shows.

"Upcoming projects from the indie include Sharp Objects with Amy Adams for HBO, Picture Paris with Meg Ryan for EPIX and La Dolce Vita with Mediaset in Italy."

"They came to us saying they had a deal to produce Roberto Saviano’s (Gomorrah) next original TV series. He wants to tell the story of Gaddafi. We got incredibly excited by this—one of the top names in Italy, a fantastic subject."

“Gregor brought us the project as a film, but we’ve since decided to make it as a TV series. We’re looking for a U.K. partner. It’s gritty social realism running parallel with a supernatural bent that shines a light on the surf culture in Australia.”

"In the U.K., eOne is working on an adaptation of the Charlotte Brontë novel Villette."

Fair enough foxeye2 lets agree to disagree where this stock is heading. On a separate note interesting price action today.

[foxeye2] 13/4/2017 08:30

The comments I made six months ago were based on my own research which were indeed factual, but I do not intend to argue with other posters who do not share my views. I would only urge others to regularly review their investments in the light of changing developments. If the situation with ETO were to change dramatically, I may even reinvest myself but I think it highly unlikely.

I shall say no more as I have no revelations or other input which will be of benefit to others, which I consider to be a prime purpose of these Boards. I do wish each and everyone of you well and sincerely hope that we ALL make a profit from this or other stocks. Hopefully, some will consider my words and re-evaluate their current investments to ensure they remain 'fit for purpose'. I ask nor suggest anything else.

[werty5] 13/4/2017 07:43

Foxeye2 when you first made your comments 6 months ago they were not based on facts. The only reason your back on this board is the prediction you made by chance came true. I suspect that if the share had taken off you would not have returned to say you got it wrong.

[amoore70] 13/4/2017 07:34

If we all new the exact right time to buy and sell a stock we would all be millionaires foxeye2.

[foxeye2] 12/4/2017 12:31

amoore; You may well disagree, but my comments are based on facts, i.e. the price six months ago was 234p, the price this morning was 244p - a rise of 10p in six months. Those are the undisputed facts. Your presumption of the stock being undervalued and that the price will rise, is based on hope and optimism, little more.
By all means hold and I genuinely hope you make a profit, but I think there are more promising companies in which to invest. I am simply urging others to regularly review and re-evaluate their research not just for ETO but for all their investments, rather than relying on luck, optimism and hope as many on this Board seem to do.

[amoore70] 12/4/2017 09:51

Totally disagree Foxeye2. This share is undervalued and it will rise to over 300p at some point and possibly up to 400p. Maybe not anytime soon but it will happen.

[werty5] 12/4/2017 08:26

Shares trend foxeye. It is a fact and i agree it can be a boring slog but eone is not alone in this in fact all shares trend from time to time. If you have made money elsewhere then hats off to you. I will remain here because sooner or later the trend will end.

[foxeye2] 12/4/2017 07:39

Precisely six months ago, on the 12th October, 2016, vide post 7499, I made derisory comments about ETO suggesting there were many other companies which appeared to be better placed and likely to be more profitable for investors. The price per share at that time, was 234p. Today it stands at 244p, a 'massive' rise of 10p over six months.
I had made similar comments on the 26th February, 2016, more than a year ago, suggesting that ETO were something of a 'gamblers' stock, not an 'investment' stock.

On both occasions, others criticised my comments and suggested that I was wrong and didn't know what I was talking about, yet I suggest recent performance over the last six months, in fact shows my assumptions were correct and during that time, I consider it is only the Board members who have made money through their salaries.

I am not suggesting what you should, or should not do, nor am I suggesting other alternative investment vehicles, but I would urge individuals to revisit their research into ETO and then make a decision according to their particular circumstances. I have no hidden agenda as I sold out a long time ago, (thank God) but urge others to think for themselves rather than just blindly follow some of the more optimistic posters on this Board.

[hopeful holder] 06/4/2017 20:46

Decided to top slice a few thou at 240. Still a strong takeover target but it seems a good price to secure some profit.
