Talking Heads with Tim Carroll
Jul 19, 2021
Now serving his fifth year as chief executive officer for the Focusrite Group, Tim Carroll has played a pivotal role in the company’s upward trajectory. Instrumental in recent acquisitions and the creation of a new brand, the Californian is certainly at home in High Wycombe and receiving critical approval. Tim takes a break from his hectic schedule to bring Pro AVL Central up to date

What a great little update - they continue to impress. Well done team.

Excellent trading update this morning! Just what we want to hear! Well done Focusrite!"Since the Half Year period ended 28 February 2021, the Company has continued to trade well across all business units and demand has remained strong when compared with the corresponding period in FY20. As a result the Board now expects revenue for the full year to 31 August 2021 to be ahead of market expectations . In addition, p rofitability for the full year will be significantly ahead of expectations as a result of strong trading"

Very strong last few days. Can it make new highs?

Andrew Wass, CEO of Gear 4 Music gives an interview here about the fantastic year they've had. https://apple.news/AzRMLHiWLR_22TlGGntJmMQI particularly like this statement which could have a good 'read across' to Focusrite!"In lockdown there were really two product categories that drove our business - guitars and home recording equipment - and PA systems did really badly. But we are starting to see PAs come through again, particularly bigger speaker systems as people start to look to do live gigs again... there has been a real shift in the sorts of products we have been selling," he said.

Funny how all the broker SPs fall on days such as this... ...which are great for brokers.

Remarkable price hold up and great company. Cashed in my profits and bailed out earlier in the week due to US markets indicating trouble ahead but will be back once we know a bit better on the wider markets' front. GLA

1315 offered chaps.

[tongosti] 06/5/2021 09:13

Paying a divi while the rocket has indeed taken off. What a performance chaps.

[tongosti] 04/5/2021 12:20

Well - I am not too excited about that. It's only £18k worth of shares. Regardless, happy to be long though. In the black immediately after I initiated. SL moved up and will hopefully be above break even soon. GL.

[tomyumgoong] 04/5/2021 12:12

Nice to see Directors buying shares also!

[tongosti] 04/5/2021 08:59

Good start of the week chaps.

[tongosti] 30/4/2021 17:03

Good week chaps. This has been a proper breakout. Let's hope for a good follow up over the next few days.

[tongosti] 28/4/2021 09:08

Good follow up this early morning from yesterday's b/o. Let's see if it holds.

Peel Hunt raises Focusrite price target to 1318 (1209) PENCE - 'ADD'

[tongosti] 27/4/2021 10:11

Great risk reward at this point. Initiated long with SL set below today's low. If this is a valid breakout then we should be advancing immediately from these ATH levels. GLA

Superb results today, well done to holders.

I sold out in November 2019, regrettably. Not my best call!

[tomyumgoong] 27/4/2021 08:33

Congratulations to all at Focusrite! Excellent results!

[alter ego] 27/4/2021 08:20

Superb. share price says it all.

[ironstorm] 27/4/2021 08:10

Stella results. Acquisition looks like another great one. They turn these things into gold. Nothing more to say.
