Great. Yes let’s see what happens. I wasn’t expecting a 2018 announcement but let’s see if it comes to fruition. A 2018 bill would mean a 2020 switch

The 50% digital listening threshold is almost there, earlier than I expected:

I guess we would benefit from a higher USD as income is in USD and financial reporting in GBP.

[maca1212] 07/2/2018 22:41

Hmm,






May provide some context.

It would appear that FST have enjoyed circa 66% market share to date and that total dab radio shipments globally should be in the range of 12m+ in 2018. (they were estimated as circa 10m Q3 2016 - Q2 2017 and a 20% growth rate seems conservative given the switchovers and roll outs in progress.

A 5m expectation of shipments seems a little conservative in these circumstances for FST, but as ever only time will tell.

I guess the only important thing gleaned from that comms is that they expect to clear 5 million units this year . How that compares with other years I’ve no idea . Needs context

[the drewster] 07/2/2018 16:20

no RNS, just an email to subscribers.

[ashehzi] 07/2/2018 14:37

Looks like yesterday was good opportunity to buy FST but missed it for a quick +ve.

Again that RNS didn't appear in my IG news and not in VOXMarkets :(

[john09] 07/2/2018 10:40

Plenty of gyrations at the bottom of what looks like a head and shoulders . I was hoping for some more weakness to buy more, maybe this is the weakness?

This has held up well despite market meltdown

[ashehzi] 06/2/2018 09:31

Thanks bamboo2. You're right. I am also planning to buy FST but haven't done yet.

[ashehzi] 06/2/2018 08:16

Anyone here thinking it is a good price to buy based on fundamentals?

[john09] 05/2/2018 13:01

Market is having a bit of a down day I see.

Ok our favourite tip sheet said ...

voice assistants seem to have been the main talking point at the CES show in Las Vegas and carpe diem appears to be the motto of the day for Frontier. Newsflow ought to get hotter and I see £3 by the year end.

Thanks John.
