Doubt it. They are all in the same boat.

This is on a current P/E of circa 10.5 . It’s getting really silly. Next TU est in circa 5 weeks .Big media players will be eyeing this up for sure because it’s in bargain territory.

Watching and waiting. Always impossible to call capitulation.

Can't believe this continues to fall, although general market sentiment dictates it. This must soon if not already, be on the radar of PE. A solid company, with great recent results, not massively burdened with debt, and good prospects.One to tuck away I believe. AIMHO

Anyone buying yet? The GOCO deal must be looking like a bargain now considering the current economic climate. I'm not sure at what price to get in?

Piece in Shares mag today saying they are "substantially undervalued"

[wolfofhounslow] 19/5/2022 16:29

Both made similar adjusted operating profits.....Reach undervalued

I don’t need luck - just need Zillah to deliver to perform how she does year in year out unlike most other CEO’s. And her husband’s backed her with another share purchase yesterday - don’t think he’d be doing that without a nod and a wink.

FUTR might trade on 3x revenues. However, it has BIG profit margins.

I'd compare earnings with market cap + debt to get a fundamental evaluation.

[wolfofhounslow] 19/5/2022 07:47

Future has 5pc organic rev growth now after all the acquisitions. Yet it trades on 3x revs. Good luck with that. Reach has flat rev growth and trades at half revs or something like it. Hence Reach starting to outperform it.

Leverage(4) of 1.46x (FY 2021: 0.8x and down from 1.9x following the Dennis acquisition on 1 October). This reflects continued rapid de-levering, resulting in net debt(9) at the end of the half year of GBP388.7m (FY 2021: GBP176.3m)

[ihatemms] 18/5/2022 18:00

Unfortunately Reach (which I also hold) has a pension deficit and in comparison grows at a snail’s pace (or not at all) compared to Future which delivers year after year.

[wolfofhounslow] 18/5/2022 16:11

Mcap of almost 2b. Reach delivered similar operating profits with mcap of less then 400m....

[eddie1980] 18/5/2022 15:08

Never understand why Future excludes amortisation of purchased intangibles from adjusted its profit figures - the results include the income generated from those assets, so why exclude the cost of the assets. Bit misleading.

If they would rather refer to more cash based (EBITDA) measures on top of headline figures, they can, but to simply reported adjusted profit which includes the income generated from the cost of assets they exclude, it is a bit poor.

An absolutely bizarre reaction to solid results.

[123ct] 12/5/2022 15:48

Thank you, I only hold Future through a UK smaller companies IT so Im not invested directly in Future but I follow the actions of the main holdings within it

[srichardson8] 12/5/2022 15:25

quite correct.from having 7.1mn shares as of 11/2 they now have 6mn or less. For the record there is a write-up in Shares magazine today. Nervously bullish is how I would describe it, ahead of interim results on May 18th.

[123ct] 12/5/2022 13:44

I see a holdings announcement this morning, one of the things I can never get to grips with these is these announcements as I find they lack clarity, am I correct that the one this morning shows Abrdn dropping from 5.8% to below 5%, if reading this incorrectly would someone please help me to understand these , thank you

[johnrxx99] 10/5/2022 07:50

Anything that sells something will be roasted

[kemche] 09/5/2022 11:31

A lot more to go I think.

[alphabeta4] 28/4/2022 13:42

Good question, I'm surprised this has been able to stay independent as long as it has, especially given how much of the revenue is now American.

[ihatemms] 27/4/2022 14:08

Current P/E now less than 14 . At what price does this become a bid target ?

[ihatemms] 12/4/2022 16:59

Intra - day reversal today. Hopefully the start of the big move up until the interim results in May.
