Posted at 16/6/2025 09:20 by First Class Metals Daily Update First Class Metals Plc is listed in the Miscellaneous Metal Ores,nec sector of the London Stock Exchange with ticker FCM. The last closing price for First Class Metals was 2.35p.First Class Metals currently has 217,741,361 shares in issue. The market capitalisation of First Class Metals is £4,899,181. First Class Metals has a price to earnings ratio (PE ratio) of -3.63. This morning FCM shares opened at 2.35p |
Posted at 08/6/2025 09:43 by kingston78 The share rose to 2.5 p but then settled at 2.15 p; that is bang on the placing price.With finance sorted out, the share price will continue its upward path. There was profiting taking and/or existing holders bailing out on Friday on the bounce. However, I see that the share price has great potential, judging from its historical chart. |
Posted at 04/6/2025 07:43 by ldbart I don't think there is a placing coming soon. The share price rise since 28th May was most likely liked to the restructuring of the 79th Resources shares. I think we have a new investor and perhaps they wanted more.The sell off yesterday was brutal, and probably someone wanting to or inadvertently crashing the share price for reasons unknown. Perhaps someone simply wanted out. Tax bill?? Despite the drop yesterday, we actually had more buys than sells. I have proven that by analysing the 450 trades since 27th May. Since then, we've had over 6 million more shares bought than sold. This drop was overdone, again. FCM are still very much undervalued. |
Posted at 03/6/2025 11:56 by jaknife Ianbag,"why has the price rallied so much?" Because FCM need to place to raise funds. And what's the easiest way to raise funds in the small cap space? 1. Get the MM to move the price sharply upwards causing a spike in the price 2. Lots of numpty retail punter rush to buy because "somebody knows something" 3. Let the share price draft down gently over time 4. During all of this the MM goes short into the retail demand whilst lots of sheeples mutter "there are more buys than sells" 5. The company announces a placing to "institutional investors" and the MMs buy the placing to close off their short positions. if you look back at all the recent skanky placings there is always a spike in the share price in advance of the placing!

Posted at 02/6/2025 10:03 by jaknife Brynsym,"The claim that FCM can’t be shorted just because IG and SpreadEx don’t offer it is nonsense. Anyone with access to DMA, CFDs, or a decent brokerage knows otherwise. Retail access via two providers does not define the entire market." IG and SpreadEx are the two largest providers in the market, many smaller firms use IG as their primer broker. It is impossible to short FCM with IG either on a spread bet or on a CFD. There are no short positions out there. Feel free to ask around and come back with the name of a broker who actually offers the ability to short FCM. "As for suggesting that last week’s price spike was “intelligent longs dumping” — that’s laughable. It looked far more like a short squeeze, with someone scrambling to cover." It helps if you read the actual words that I wrote rather than making up quotes. My comment was: "If you need an explanation for why the share price has fallen so much, it's simply that the more intelligent of the longs dumped their shares and ran for the hills ages ago. That's what caused the share price to fall." [emphasis added] As evidenced by the chart: FWIW my long term price target for FCM is zero - it's management are completely incompetent at best, at worst they were aware of the fraud at 79th Group.

Posted at 01/6/2025 16:43 by jaknife chutes01,"Still shorts trapped here after last weeks action Tom Winni has cost them dear" Once again, for the numpties in the room, there are no short positions in FCM, it is impossible to short FCM. The two main spread bet providers in the UK are IG and SpreadEx, neither will let you short FCM. And, in consequence, there is zero evidence that anyone has ever had a disclosable short position: If you need an explanation for why the share price has fallen so much, it's simply that the more intelligent of the longs dumped their shares and ran for the hills ages ago. That's what caused the share price to fall. JakNife |
Posted at 29/5/2025 17:24 by ldbart It's common sense. Investors that paid 10p at IPO or 18p thereafter, did so based upon their research and the potential of the company and share price. .There are several reasons why an investor might choose to average down:1. Long-Term Confidence in the CompanyThe investor believes the company's fundamentals remain strong despite the price drop, and views the lower price as a buying opportunity. 2. Valuation Opportunity. The stock may be undervalued based on metrics like P/E ratio, price/book, or discounted cash flow, suggesting it's a good value at the reduced price. 3. Market Overreaction. The investor believes the price decline is due to short-term market overreactions or temporary issues, not a reflection of the company's true worth. 4. Lowering Break-Even Point. By buying at a lower price, the investor reduces their average cost per share, making it easier to reach profitability if the stock rebounds. 5. Long-Term Investment Horizon. If the investor has a long-term outlook, short-term price drops are seen as opportunities to accumulate more shares cheaply. 6. Dividend Yield Enhancement. For dividend-paying stocks, a lower price increases the effective yield on new purchases, making the stock more attractive for income investors. 7. Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy. Some investors follow a disciplined approach to investing fixed amounts regularly, regardless of price, which naturally results in averaging down during dips. 8. Strategic Portfolio Allocation. The price drop might allow the investor to increase their position to a desired allocation level within their portfolio. 9. Recovery Potential. The investor anticipates a turnaround or catalyst (e.g., new product launch, leadership change, regulatory approval) that could drive the stock price back up. 10. Tax Strategy. In certain cases, realizing paper losses through averaging down may fit into a broader tax-loss harvesting strategy |
Posted at 07/5/2025 10:56 by jaknife It's basically some AI generated pile of 💩. It's not even a summary but a huge long diatribe of "FCM to date".You don't need AI to analyse a set of accounts. They came out last week and can be read here: running through the numbers: P&L * Zero revenue - it's a pre-revenue company * admin expenses of £1.37m * post-tax loss of £1.37m * equates to 1.53p per share NB: The current share price is just under 1.5p per share! If they have the same losses in 2025 then are they going to lose the entire share capital? Balance Sheet * net equity is £2.49m * this includes the various explorations at a value of £3.64m, * is it reasonable to value their exploration at £3.64m when they've not found anything worth mining yet? * £700k of debt outstanding to the 79th group * cash as at 31 Dec 2024 was just £0.22m, which isn't enough to cover the annual Christmas party! NB: 78,552,084 shares at 1.7p (£1.34m) were issued to the 79th group post balance sheet date on 25th Feb so net cash has improved. But the equity was meant to repay the loan so the cash position now should be: Cash at 31 Dec 2024 £0.22mreceipt from subscription: £1.34mloan repayment -£0.70m --------net cash £0.86m ======== Less whatever they've spent in the first four months of the year. Cash Flow * Net cash flow from operating activities of £1.16m, lower than the P&L loss as that includes a large non-cash FX movement * but note "Acquisition of mineral property exploration and evaluation assets" of £0.65m so some expenses/exploration costs are being directly capitalised to the balance sheet. * WTF is "Financing of shares loaned by directors" of £0.10m? Why are the directors lending their shares? If I was a shareholder I'd want to know WTF this is! Going Concern "The Directors are aware of the Group's reliance on fundraising within the next 12 months and the material uncertainty this presents but having reviewed the Group's working capital forecasts they believe the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully providing the fundraising is successful." So they need to raise funds at some point. Conclusion * It's a really small company. * They're spending a lot of money exploring for metals. * They don't have enough cash at the moment for the full year but intend to raise cash at some point. Beyond that any analysis needs to look at the quality of their exploration assets. Personally I can't see anything of any interest but I accept that some people think that they can see great things. However, what's the value of an exploration asset if you don't have the funds to prove it up? JakNife |
Posted at 01/5/2025 11:58 by the_debt_collector Fact is whichever way you look at this the administrators are now in possession of 40% of FCM and you can bet whatever you like they will sell the stake at any price to recoup cash for creditors.I did notice on X, when challenged on 79th Group due diligence, Marc Sale said to blame the FCA & LSE Governance (or words to that effect), well of course he would take no responsibility, he was 'only' the CEO ! Power Metals are one of the major shareholders here, what a difference in value creation, they sold a portion of their GMET stake raising £9m but their near 20% stake in FCM is worth just £250k, both were spun out around the same time. Will the share price go lower, probably yes, there is no bid now and no wonder. |
Posted at 22/4/2025 12:28 by jp2011 Panther Metals should make a low ball all share bid after they list in Canada. I spoke to Panther back in Nov/Dec during FCM's fund raise process & Darren said that whilst there was overlap at Dotted Lake on both gold & nickel trends, they weren't interested in merging/takeovers. It would cause dilution & doesn't fundamentally solve the key issue - lack of cash, but there must be value at the right price.In response to Idbart, if the market thinks FCM can no longer raise or only at very distressed rates then the share price could hit 0.25p so I don't share the sentiment current price represents a good entry point, quite the reverse. |
Posted at 19/4/2025 10:16 by mininglamp I believe my earlier appraisal of FCM was pretty accurate, the BOD are certainly well paid, the last FY accounts they took out nearly £500k in salaries, that is an awful lot for a company with nil revenue, yes the CEO was paid for geology services as well, however, why did they not take a reasonable % in shares if they thought the prospects so good.In my view the company needs to focus on one project, it would then be possible to hype, promote with a clear agenda. Too many of these minnows have large licences with no money to explore. Most certainly FCM fits in this category. There was a presentation event in September 2023 where Marc Sale commented on the share price, he said they listed in 2022 at 10p and the shares had drifted (they were 8.5p on the day) but it was expected they would recover, 14 months later they 'sold' half the company at 1.7p a share. The share price is now sub 1p, that is nothing short of disastrous and a reflection on management for certain. What is going to restore sentiment and re-rate equity, serious question ? |
