Gfinity Share Discussion Threads

Unfortunately Canaccord do not make their research notes available to retail customers (which is disgraceful) 😡😡😡

I certainly hope that the company realises this and now engages with an independent (fee for service) research provider (such as Equity Development, Hardman etc) to keep retail investors adequately informed on earnings estimates and other important insights

I see this move to Canaccord as very positive, they are a heavyweight broker with a strong institutional following.

It will be very interesting to see the opening price and how the share price settles down over its first days of trading.
It's hard to see how you can look at a Gfinity versus a Guild Esports as they are looking to build very different businesses.

David Beckham's e-sports company has raised £20m ahead of its plans to list on the London Stock Exchange this week.The company, which announced plans to float earlier this month, will be the first e-sports enterprise to go public in Britain.On Tuesday Guild said its oversubscribed offering of 250m shares was priced at 8 pence per ordinary share.Former England captain Beckham is an original shareholder and will hold a 4.78 per cent stake in the company, according to a prospectus filed with the UK Listing Authority today.It makes him the fourth-largest shareholder in the company.Other investors include Toro Consulting, Blue Star Capital and Schroder Investment Management.The demand for e-sports, where people watch players video gaming, has grown over the pandemic. Guild claims that some tournaments are attracting a bigger audience than Wimbledon, Tour de France and the US Open.The global e-sports market is valued at $1.1bn and is project to grow by 42 per cent to $1.56bn, according to games market insight company Newzoo.Last year's Fortnite World Cup – a battle royale-style online multiplayer game – issued $3m in prize money.Guild said it will use the money raised from the share placing to expand the business, including recruiting new players.The company said it is looking to scale into various e-sports disciplines over the course of this year and next. And its inaugural team is expected to make its debut this autumn.Along with Beckham, the existing Guild team is made up of e-sports veterans with experience as professional players and coaches as well as those in e-sports media.Executive chairman Carleton Curtis is an architect of the Overwatch League and Call of Duty Leagues.Beckham is not the only high-profile sports star to dabble with the e-sports world in recent months. Gareth Bale launched Ellevens Esports in February this year, which is co-owned with 38 Entertainment Group.

Gfin have raised in excess of £40m czar. Not been pretty but seems on track now.

[czar] 27/9/2020 15:14

GFIN historically have not covered themselves in glory, wasted 10's of millions of pounds and never made a profit, but along came John Clarke, cleared out the old guard and slashed overheads. Since then he has struck several great deals and has said on may occasions GFIN will be making money by Q1 2021. I believe him and when the inflexion point is passed this little company (its only £23m market cap) will be throwing off cash. This looks like a ten bagger in the making imho.

Gfinity get a mention, buts it isn't happy reading.

[justintime9] 25/9/2020 17:40

Year end numbers to June should hopefully be delivered soon?
I am surprised the company have not announced them already as they are clearly known.
Is there a hidden nasty?
Market expecting revenue £6 to £6.5m .

[parsons4] 25/9/2020 09:24

Just topped up my holding here at just over 3p much better than the first lot I bought at just over 4p !!!

[trentendboy] 21/9/2020 07:33

Some nice offeringsQuestion is how much money was derived from live events?Treat of big boys taking stuff in-house also a worryHmmm

[babbler] 19/9/2020 10:01

Compare this to bids and mcap etc. All you need to do.

[justintime9] 10/9/2020 23:10

Guild starting to talk to institutions nice and early.

[czar] 10/9/2020 07:29

With Guild coming to market at £50m and this recent news we should be closer to 10p imho.

[microscope] 09/9/2020 14:16

Think they are only talking break even in Q4. Looks like the market is backing the fairly recent new management

[trentendboy] 08/9/2020 15:59

What is PE?SP has done well recently - profits I suspect still low though relative to market cap

[microscope] 08/9/2020 15:08

Several attempts at 4p now. Wonder if it will try again, or see a correction.

Gfinity PLC's (LON:GFIN) John Clarke talks to Proactive London's Katie Pilbeam on its new V10 R-League, part of a joint venture with Abu Dhabi Motorsport Management which is going global with three major broadcast deals.

Under the agreements, it will be available on BT Sport, ESPN and STARZPLAY Arabia, while highlights will be broadcast across team and talent channels in a distribution plan covering both broadcast and digital formats.

I regularly speak to a lot of gamers on YouTube not on a personal level but discussing their streams etc strategy,content,future releases etc etc and some have millions of followers.Most do it through donations from viewers and I believe this market has not even been tapped into.Im nearly fifty and spend my breaks at work watching their content (sad to most people) but I know the value these people have in the gaming world.Even a gfinity baseball cap while streaming would generate a massive interest with the right audience (as a crude example) would generate passive revenue.Pay the players! I think gfin is on the ball so far.Make it a household name with the gamers and it will snowball.

[cumnor] 03/9/2020 09:55

Agree, this exceeds my expectations. Getting in there with all the big names and distributors-serious intent by mgmt. Very small mrkt cap-given the potential in the gaming/content/advertising/social media space Gfin is bang in the middle of. This mrkt is worth multiples of film/music industry combined and it is where all the big advertisers are placing their bucks. Gfin in a great space. Patience will be rewarded many fold.

[baggariddim] 03/9/2020 08:59

Was expecting distribution RNS as promised but didnt expect it to be as positive as this.Absolutely delighted with progress,getting all the right people on board and as Ive said before reaching out to the right youtube influencers.If the numbers add up were off to the races.
