I dare say that trying to raise interest from AIM investors who supported GBG at £7 -£9 per share is difficult at current share price Moving to MM could open up a new cohort of potential investors who aren't carrying a book loss which might improve the liquidity of the shares by increasing demand. The move to AIM I recall was to allow GBG to do acquisitions quickly - as an MM company with small figures a full prospectus was required each time as the ratios criteria required by the regulator meant that even a modest acquisition was potentially a major deal. This process took time, cost a huge amount and meant that potential targets were getting snapped up by other suitors who could move quicker.

I recall a previous foray into the main market, I've been in this for 27 years and gbg were in aim then mm then back in aim due to costs and other reasons, how I remember is I couldn't invest into isas then I could then had to removed from isa. Virtually no share movement those years.

Eventually they allowed aim into isas.

Personally I don't want this to return to mm £9.88 or so was achieved before gbg messed up big style….

Anyone here for the long haul might find it useful to view the results webcast (with all the company’s analysts grilling the CEO/CFO at the end of the presentation).

Well worth a watch..




Main takeaway for me is the refresh GBG has undergone with the CEO very focused and driven to put the company on a long term footing to sustained growth and market leadership. Certainly the clear impression is GBG looking a lot more dynamic and well positioned for the next stage of its (re)development.

Be interesting to see what the analysts made of it.

GB Group shares fall 9% despite solid full-year results

GB Group PLC - GB Group shares fall 9% despite solid full-year results

Shares in GB Group PLC (LSE:GBG) fell 9% on Tuesday as investors reacted nervously to its full-year outlook, despite management confirming that trading remains in line with expectations.

For the year to 31 March 2025, the identity verification specialist reported adjusted operating profit of £67m, up 9.5%, with margins improving to 23.7%.

Revenue grew 3% on a constant currency basis to £282.7m. Cash conversion remained strong at 91.3%, and net debt fell to £48.5m.

GBG said its new financial year has begun as expected, and reiterated guidance.

However, analysts at Panmure Liberum noted that while cost control has been strong, growth remains modest.

The group is shifting toward a unified platform model and exploring a move from AIM to the Main Market. A £10m share buyback has already been completed.

Directors buying or not I will top up should share price retreat to 230p or thereabouts still feel patience will be rewarded with gbg and the newsflow going forward is more likely to be pos than neg with the real possibility of striking major alliances or indeed a bid not a stock in portfolio I will be losing sleep on

Berenberg initiated coverage of GB Group with a ‘buy’ rating and 340p price target.

GB Group (GBG) operates in the identity verification, fraud prevention and location intelligence markets.

Berenberg said the company's cloud-native software uses data obtained from hundreds of providers to help businesses verify the location, identity, credentials and legitimacy of individuals.

"GBG has a long track record of organic and acquisition-driven growth, and was a significant beneficiary of the changes in consumer behaviour during the Covid-19 pandemic," it said.

"However, the business has since struggled to return to material growth, with its share price still down 70% from its October 2021 peak.

"While GBG's H225 was slightly weaker than anticipated, we have reviewed its growth credentials and think the recent product developments and ongoing reworking of its go-to-market strategy provide the potential for improvements to its organic growth rate and margins

Sorry. Struggled to work out how to post here.

Short answer is that I believe there is bid speculation in the market. I think this is because people have spotted that GTCR have set up a bidco in the last few days (link below), and they were previously the ones trying to buy GBG. I don't it is likely intended for GBG as they only signed off on the buyback 2 weeks ago and would not have been allowed to if they had already received interest. It's also unlikely that interest received post the buyback starting could have reached an offer price in under 2 weeks. More likely GTCR will be buying something else in the UK. Also the shares got suspended earlier and if there was something to say, I think they would have had to at that point.




just my 2 cents anyway...

To be fair Dev did not blame tariffs directly, he just said growth ambitions would be moderated by macro uncertainty caused by things like tariffs.

The language which confused me more was a trading statement which is summed up as "steady performance" included the view from Dev that GBG had taken a "major leap forward" in the year. I wonder what strategic initiatives he has to reveal at the final results presentation in early June.

Yes growth or lack of it is the problem, which is why the share price has continued to retreat.

The good news is that at this rate GBG will be debt free in about a year from now. In which case what does GBG do with about £30M free cash flow, at the moment only about £10M is distributed in dividends.

Yes it feels too soon to see the benefit of GB Group's bold acquisition in to the US market, but I guess the slide in cable means the GBG share price looks dirt cheap if it already wasn't.

And yes I am in to this up to £9+ when some of the insiders sold off, so it had better be a great offer, clock ticking to 4 Oct. (edit - no, actually my highest price was a rebuy at 850p having sliced some at 940p.)

No I can't find any press speculation, this is GTCR's stable ...



Funnily enough I was feeling grumpy last week that none of my speculative stakes had enjoyed a boost from a take out; oh well.

Worth a speculative add or should we wait and see?
