Everything is marked down! With no new news though it was always likely to fall - with or without the wider market bloodbath

[adamb1978] 06/2/2018 08:10

Figures seem as expected. No immediate surprises; some hints of building up the business for the 4th title but not showing in the numbers yet

[mad foetus] 06/2/2018 08:08

Results as expected but really this is all about the future and on that basis I'm not surprised to see it marked down. Could be a good buying opportunity for the patient.

[mark4231] 05/2/2018 19:28

Seemed to me it fell on a few sells this morning and then powered back with lots of buys this afternoon.

[allstar4eva] 05/2/2018 19:00

Hmm.. unchanged despite a sea of red. Here's hoping there is a good reason for the relatively strong performance...

[bamboo2] 05/2/2018 16:24

Took profit as price hit target on what ended up as a day trade!
Keep up everyone!

[nimbo1] 05/2/2018 15:41

trailer 2 - looks good

[mark4231] 05/2/2018 13:05

They probably know nothing.

I'm certainly not expecting anything unexpected from the numbers, we have already had the trading update. What I do expect (hope!) are nice words about how current franchise sales are holding up (both Planet Coaster and Elite Dangerous seem to be selling well on Steam) and then optimism about JWE. Probably too much to expect to hear about yet another franchise for now but you never know.

[allstar4eva] 05/2/2018 12:49

True they probably know nothing. Would love to think we will get fantastic news tomorrow though:-)

[nimbo1] 05/2/2018 12:24

not sure, maybe something maybe nothing i guess...us pi's certainly never know first thats for sure. I'm going to presentation tomorrow am so will let you know if i learn anything interesting.

could just be bamboo averaging back in of course!

[allstar4eva] 05/2/2018 12:20

With results for tomorrow what do they know?

[nimbo1] 05/2/2018 12:15

wow plenty of buyers around at 13.50 - can sell 10,000 on HL, never seen that before - and can only buy 1000. Just mentioning it because on a day of doom its nice to know these shares are well bid for and still hard to accumulate.

[bamboo2] 05/2/2018 11:21

Started averaging back in here.

[volsung] 05/2/2018 10:52

Topped up my APH nimbo. I was a bit late to the FDEV party anyway

[nimbo1] 05/2/2018 10:50

good luck. Out of interest what are you buying instead?

[volsung] 05/2/2018 10:28

I'm out. Need the money to buy other shares

[nimbo1] 03/2/2018 22:38

Sure, but i can't believe there are any investors here on the basis of a reasonable pe - which is the possibly the worst metic to judge a growth share on - all the best growth shares trade at pe's which value investors deem too high - its why most people never own the best companies. they see fit to buy things like centrica on 15 times earnings and watch it go below 10. But you know all this anyway. Am just merely commenting.

[allstar4eva] 03/2/2018 22:28

Nimbo these numbers don't support the pe here - to those who understand the company a bit they are excellent however many will look and see small revenue growth for a high pe. Having said that many may be waiting for these numbers to get out of the way before buying/adding in the belief that they may be the last dip (if at all) prior to a steady rise up to the launch of JWE...we'll see...

[nimbo1] 03/2/2018 22:22

I wouldn't have thought it would drop re numbers...as we pretty much know them. More likely it will face some volatility re - world markets. Im keeping my full holding here as I think this is the most exciting company in the UK.

'For the six months to 30 November 2017, the Board expects to report a sustained level of performance compared to the record results achieved for financial year 2017 (the twelve months ended 31 May 2017), with revenue of approximately £19 million in the period compared to £18.1 million for the six months to 30 November 2016 and £19.3 million for the six months to 31 May 2017. Both Elite Dangerous and Planet Coaster continue to perform well.'

[mark4231] 03/2/2018 21:48

I agree, although hopefully the recent trading update means most sellers, due to numbers, have been mopped up. Potential for great excitement re: franchises and China.

[allstar4eva] 03/2/2018 21:14

Results Tuesday. Numbers in isolation are likely to cause an share price drop. However news re: other franchises and/or China market release plans could bring some excitement.

[volsung] 01/2/2018 16:18

I was trying to sell some FDEV this morning but HL wouldn't give me a live quote. Glad they didn't now

[bamboo2] 01/2/2018 16:17

Cheers mf. Just taken profit.

[mad foetus] 01/2/2018 16:16

This is another nice surprise Bamboo wins this weeks spotters badge

[nimbo1] 01/2/2018 15:43

out of interest there are currently c.25 jobs available for FD - a lot! Cant wait for news on next title.

Someone mentioned the chinese speaking role the other day - here is a link to the description. I like this part.

'We are looking to broaden our level of support and further assist our Chinese players for current and future titles.'

I really hope FD crack china, because then we can all retire early.
