Fd Technologies Public Share Discussion Threads

Any reason why analyst keep re-iterating a buy?

[skatersav] 01/12/2018 12:51

Glavey, Customers want to know that a supplier can supply the service as agreed. In the case of FD, this service will primarily be the supply of young people on temporary contracts to various technology and financial markets roles. However, clients won’t care whether FD subsequently describes itself as a high flying software company to its investors. They also won’t care if FD employs aggressive accounting, invest in speculative start ups, create innovative related party structures with the apparent effect of inflating revenues, or pursue appalling governance practices. Most importantly, they won’t care if FD’s shares are overvalued.

It was the same with Autonomy. Their customers didn’t care that they were booking revenues too early - they wouldn’t even know.

Trade today was mark as on offer

Don’t agree with smell comment
Just hard look at view of value plus risk


But moorsie is ok on one point
Company well manage and run
Just over values

Interested to see which fund sold holding

Still think entry point 13 or 14

735,234 traded. A decimation and whatever is going on we plebs will be last to know. iP issues ? Something not right and it smells to high heaven. Is KX IP secure or can it be taken on an memory stick and re-fangled?Looks like the goods just walked out the door. A fiasco

[nsss] 30/11/2018 16:36

Sent market cap back to 2016 in 2 months. It kept sinking even after the good earnings report. Will they take any action to stop this decimation before approaching the lower end of 10s? When is the next call with investors?

[badger36] 30/11/2018 16:24

227k traded actually

[badger36] 30/11/2018 16:23

Will heads roll with this decimation of market cap?I guess not. Probably re-price options and shaft shareholders again

[swiss paul] 30/11/2018 16:17

Aye on 58,306 traded. The shorters have it - for the moment

[badger36] 30/11/2018 14:52

There she blows Looks like something is really rotten

[badger36] 30/11/2018 12:23

65% collapse from the high. Not related to the FAANGs

[moorsie2] 30/11/2018 09:34

Flybyknight - you don't have to worry about me - I am in from 250p so I have no concerns

This is a good company that is taking a huge hit due to the reratings of FAANGs and the fact that it has had such a strong last 5 years.

Patience to long term holders

[badger36] 30/11/2018 09:11

Incredible the destruction of shareholder value since the so called "hit/short" thesis which the market has now accepted as having absolute validity. Once market cap reflects a basket case watch customers of repute stop renewing

[glavey] 30/11/2018 02:54

"What have I not thought through properly?"

Well, obviously, your assertion that customers (clients) don't care about the integrity of the companies they employ.

(I had assumed you would be able to follow the discussion over a couple of posts or is this just a wind-up?)

[nsss] 29/11/2018 22:33

Never heard that shares are given to employees internally

[flybyknight] 29/11/2018 21:43

Over correction go to 13 or so

Issue with share price so low is people to stay
Company has a history of employ with options as part of salary

Director buys showing hope would be good

[nsss] 29/11/2018 15:24

what is your entry point?

[flybyknight] 29/11/2018 01:44

Moorsie very silent

Target of mine to buy in range

[badger36] 27/11/2018 20:02

It's oversold because nobody is buying. Sector not great but FD has beaten the sector downwards

[nsss] 27/11/2018 18:46

53% down from ATH, and showed no sign to recover in the last 3 weeks. Touched twice 2240, now 52w low. Way oversold. Is anyone expecting a lower dip?

[ds8095] 26/11/2018 10:07

What have I not thought through properly?

[glavey] 23/11/2018 01:35

Given it suits your argument, you may have chosen not to think that through properly. But are you right to assume that no-one else has?


(It's not for the first time either, as in this hyperbolic example:

"I don't mean to be pointed, but here's the thing... and by the way, I'm being careful with my language here... It's primarily a services company with a forward multiple of 36x earnings based solely on AIM market IB research!")

[ds8095] 22/11/2018 08:28

A company's customers care only about whether it can deliver the product/service, not whether its management team are being fully honest and open in their representations to investors. Furthermore, procurement managers and IT professionals, as skilled as they may well be in their own fields, are generally not qualified to assess the legitimacy of a company's accounts, or the quality of its governance.

[glavey] 20/11/2018 05:53

For around 20 years FDP have been working with some fairly well known clients. One might think that such clients would take into consideration 'questions about the trustworthiness of the management team'.

But then, as you mentioned earier, you are short FDP.

[ds8095] 19/11/2018 09:20

They are not a distraction - they are directly relevant to the investment case because they raise questions about the trustworthiness of the management team.

[flybyknight] 16/11/2018 18:32

It absurd to say this company has major cash flow issues

Big problem for I is the revenue and profit per head

It just don't fit a software place

The other comments are just distraction on share profits etc

FCA will take no notice of accounting letter sent imho

mog I hope it go to 13gbp. It would be too low and then a complete buy
I agree with moorsie at that point even
