Was hoping for a bit more of a bounce from yesterday, given this TU. Ha Ho

[rivaldo] 25/1/2022 08:18

Yep :o))

It's only halfway through the year, yet FNX are already able to say that trading for the year to 30th June will be "comfortably ahead" of expectations. That's pretty bullish stuff.

In particular, the number of customers is up 10%. All segments of the business are growing.

And to conclude:

"Outlook:

With high levels of repeating revenue and client retention, expanding international reach, and a growing pipeline of client prospects across all sectors, the Board continues to be confident in the growth potential for Fonix going into H2 FY22 and beyond."

TU out and happy with the content, continuing in the right direction.

It's the number of users and usage that's increasing at pace - and I'd have thought limits will be increased further over time.

[nobilis] 17/1/2022 14:05

Hardly true

There is a max limit of £40 says the regulator.

Nice 100,000 share buy at 162p just reported.

New blog post - a couple of extracts:



"Could 2022 be our most exciting year yet?
Hannah Giles
Jan 11

Pay now, pay later, pay in installments, pay by mobile. Today, it’s never been quicker and simpler for consumers to spend money. The payments industry is being shaped by the demand for choice, value and flexibility. People have embraced, and now expect, payment methods that deliver great value, function instantly and make their lives easier.

Digital wallets have revolutionised the financial services industry by providing instant and convenient payment to consumers, enabling everyone, banked or unbanked to use these services. According to Juniper Research, there were 2.6 billion unique digital wallet users globally in 2020, which will increase to 4.4 billion by 2025. With consumer trends moving towards totally electronic wallets, the digitisation of payment methods is now part and parcel of keeping up with consumer demand....

....The appeal to pay by carrier billing is rooted in a consumer desire for convenience and frictionless experience; whether it’s buying a ticket, watching live sport or donating to their favourite charity, consumers want things immediately sorted.

We’re extremely excited to see the next phase of digital payments as alternative payment methods become the norm — watch this space!"

Tried some dummy trades.
Could buy a few just below 172 but could only sell 500 @ 167.05 .

[dicktrade] 22/12/2021 12:09

I have held here for some time and was looking at the chart thinking of a top up because it looks very strong, and this happens , dont know whether to laugh or cry.
Golden Cross if you look for that .

From Fonix linked infeed :-

"We’re proud to have supported DEC’s Afghanistan Crisis Appeal via mobile donations. They have raised an incredible £17.5m in 5 days!

We are always delighted to support this ‘collective effort to provide the people of Afghanistan with emergency food, nutritional support for children and winter kits to help them stay warm.’ This crisis is far from over and any donations to this extremely important cause would mean so much to everyone involved.

For more information:"

Interesting blog post from 3 days ago showing how FNX have developed their Children In Need campaigns over recent years:



Extract:

"This was the eighth consecutive year that Fonix has powered the mobile donations for BBC Children in Need and much has changed since that first campaign back in 2014. The charity now offers a total of five donation price points (£5, £10, £20, £30 and £40) which has been instrumental in increasing the total money raised, offering a true alternative to card payments. In addition to this, the introduction of delayed donation prize draws powered by Fonix’s Campaign Manager platform, has meant shows and Appeals can use different content formats to engage the public. For example, this year’s Appeal show offered viewers the chance to enter three prize draws to be in with a chance to win some spectacular prizes, including a vintage Jaguar car, a campervan and tickets to the Abba Voyage concert, all to help raise money to change young lives across the UK.

There were a number of epic fundraisers prior to the telethon that were promoted across TV, radio and online which raised a tremendous £6.8 million via text-to-donate. This was a record-breaking amount from pre-show campaigns and included BBC weatherman Owain Wyn Evans’ 24 hour drumathon — which raised a remarkable £3.7 million via text and online mechanics!"

From Fonix linked in feed :-

Fonix is excited to join The International Parking Community (IPC) as an IPC Corporate Member Plus. We're looking forward to showcasing mobile operating billing as an opportunity to develop payment solutions for parking. Ideally suited to the ticketing model for cashless and touchless purchases, mobile operator billing is a simple innovation that centralises the billing system and the user journey to one device, allowing a motorist to pay for a parking session via their mobile phone bill.

Fonix: good value
Fonix (AIM:FNX), the mobile payments and messaging provider, confirmed it had made had a positive start to the financial year, in line with management expectations, with highlights including new partnership agreements signed with Venntro Media Group and a global payments platform provider. The partnership with Venntro will see the roll-out of carrier billing into Venntro's 2,500+ white labelled dating sites.

You can read our earlier premium coverage here: ‘Fast-growing arrival on AIM from 2020 is still looking good.’

In September, Fonix mobile payments made a significant contribution to the £13m in charitable donations raised for ITV's Soccer Aid. This followed £0.5m in mobile donations raised for The Ruth Strauss Foundation in August. Fonix will also be powering donations for BBC Children In Need for the eighth consecutive year.

This is a lovely little business delivering growing profits and plenty of cash, supporting a nice 3.5% dividend yield. Trading at c20x forecast earnings for the year ending June 2022 (growth 10%), and delivering 150% return on capital, the shares look decent value compared with technology peers.

[rivaldo] 18/11/2021 13:00

That's a good point igoe104 - considering the 3.53p dividend/ex-div date FNX's share price is actually 3p up today.

[rivaldo] 18/11/2021 08:23

Finncap have reiterated their 200p target price.

They note that their forecasts are conservative given the expansion into (1) new verticals and (2) new geographies.

[igoe104] 18/11/2021 08:16

Nice start to the day here, considering its gone ex dividend today.

[apad] 18/11/2021 07:51

Not so sure. In-line and no new news.

Agreed - a very encouraging AGM statement. I particularly like the closing paragraph:

"With high levels of repeating revenue, significant new platform partnerships, new supplier connections in international markets and a growing pipeline of client prospects across all sectors, the Board continues to be confident in the growth potential for Fonix for the rest of the financial year and beyond".

[hastings] 18/11/2021 07:08

Positive sounding update this morning, all on track per expectations and progressing into new territories.

[asagi] 16/11/2021 09:59

cheers Doctor888. As per your link:

"The SMS service for text entries to the Prize Draw, randomised draw and donation service is provided by Fonix Mobile PLC Limited, 23 Heddon Street, London, W1B 4BQ. Your information (mobile phone number and amount of donation (if any)) will be collected by Fonix Mobile PLC on behalf of the Promoter and will only be used to process your donation, provide receipts, process any refunds as necessary. If you are randomly selected as the winner, Fonix will share your information with the Promoter in order to let you know you have won and to administer the prizes."

Good to see buying now at the full 162p offer price.

And a news article not posted here before about how FNX benefits Gift Aid donations:

[rivaldo] 21/10/2021 07:14

Investors might miss in today's bland-sounding RNS about the Notice of AGM (for 18th November) that it also sneaks in a rather encouraging single line confirming trading remains nicely in line with expectations....

Hopefully the AGM RNS will have a further update.

[crazycoops] 07/10/2021 20:11

Thanks for the heads up on tutus rivaldo. I just got round to watching it today - very encouraging.
