The Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE) sought the inspectors' appointment following his office's year-long investigation into matters at INM, arising from protected disclosures made in 2016 and 2017 by Mr Pitt and former INM chief financial officer Ryan Preston.https://www.irishtimes.com/business/media-and-marketing/ruling-due-in-may-on-leslie-buckley-bid-to-have-inm-inspectors-withdrawn-1.4427648?mode=amp

Formerly of independent newspapers. I'd keep that quiet given the issues with Buckley and O'Brienhttps://firstderivatives.com/news/directorate-change_dec/

Interesting comment Simon..... say more..

[simonadvfn2] 03/12/2020 07:11

Would not be surprised if there is a big announcement in the new year. Carta, the silicon valley startup, supposedly close to finishing a major deal. Already acquired market grid.

Good publicity https://www.irishtimes.com/business/technology/kilkenny-woman-named-new-york-s-top-tech-evangelist-1.4397447?mode=amp

Well this is some disappointing end to the year. Not even speculation after the placing can put a floor on this When the sector was flying this was and continues to be a laggard

[moreearl] 12/11/2020 11:29

That will certainly help. Conlon still has 4mill shares but can't sell for 6 months. So gives some immediate green light comfort but 6months + uncertainty there might be another tranche waiting to be unloaded.

Overall its a positive disposal i'd say

[typo56] 12/11/2020 07:02

Secondary placing got done at 2,700p. Reckon that's what suppressed price. Does that mean overhang cleared?

[typo56] 11/11/2020 17:08

Now we know why!

[glavey] 10/11/2020 06:22

Oh Gadger, you are such a hoot! :-)

[badger36] 09/11/2020 16:15

Wow this sure is disappointing on such a big day on the markets. Looks like they can't even develop an interest in the investment community even the possibility of a buyout is discounted in a sector that is ripe for such FDP management really are second rate

[swiss paul] 04/11/2020 10:37

Aye Badger but as I stated at the time 'no comment' is the best course for these type of raids, let the figures stand for themselves.

If they did respond then they would open themselves up to every counter issue and management just end up spending time in arguments and justifying all sorts of spurious accusations.

[badger36] 04/11/2020 09:50

Thought one aspect of management and BOD duties is to maximise shareholder value. They sure have failed since the TW hit piece to set the record straight if TW was talking BS

[swiss paul] 01/11/2020 21:03

Small write up in the IC this week - has it as a hold.

[swiss paul] 29/10/2020 19:33

Asagi - your discounting the bear raid and the rise from that.

[asagi] 29/10/2020 10:29

Sorry if I'm boring you all but it appears that new forecasts, issued in the aftermath of these results, are now hitting the data aggregation services.

We now have

Year to Mar 2021 EPS: 59.1p
Year to Mar 2022 EPS: 76.7p

so that's a decline in EPS forecast for the current year, followed by a similar percentage increase as was long forecast (albeit to a lower target).

If the 2021 forecast is delivered that would give delivered (normalised) EPS for three years of:

2019: 59.3p
2020: 60.1p
2021: 59.1p

for this (and no dividend) we are being asked to pay 51 times 2021 earnings and 39.4 times the 2022 forecast. What of that 2022 EPS forecast of 76.7p? This time last year it was 107p per share.

Yet the shares are up around 35% in the last 12 months.

Asagi (short FDP)

[glavey] 28/10/2020 06:05

It was always that FDP runs up and then falls at results. The divi is insignificant and it's sensible not to declare one at this time.

[badger36] 27/10/2020 15:42

Hope they do not restore div. for marginal tax payers CGT is less

[badger36] 27/10/2020 14:47

Big dump in US too. Down 8.6%. Incredible the low volume and against twilio having hit over 300 from 30 two years ago
