15:52 | tyranosaurus: This is currently second in the list of percentage gainers.
Perhaps they will have to issue an RNS saying "we have no idea why GRA is going up" OR preferably one that states the reason.

08:14 | tyranosaurus: 6.5p to 7.0p seems a bit of an over-reaction to the trading update.
Shares were already depressed on poor trading
The dividend definitely looks doomed.
Question is does the company look doomed.
Glad I didn`t buy more recently.

14:36 | topvest: Or maybe its going to get worse, the dividend chopped and taken private. Who knows, but I don't bet against technological obsolescence - it's a very strong force!

12:34 | tyranosaurus: Directors have bought.
Rafferty has gone and all his shareholdings gone.
Pays a dividend, although 1p is optimistic.
Trying to do new things.
Maybe it can`t get any worse and we`ve already seen the low point ?

19:56 | topvest: Yes, interesting that the directors have purchased a few. Revenue decline at Printing.com is accelerating. Their new areas look promising but aren't growing sufficiently to arrest the decline overall. Dividend cut says it all.

08:35 | tyranosaurus: I`ve had these since around 2000 and I`m surprised by this.
Dividend is based on profits, which are going to be modest for first half.
I expect a reduced or cancelled first half dividend.
Sale proceeds retained for business, so not going to be any special dividend then.
No share buybacks as in closed period.
Timing stinks.

03:52 | purplerain2: Grafenia (GRA)
We anticipate a trading update shortly.
Regarding trading, we anticipate no change from the agm statement
of “broadly in line”. The economic background is not the key driver
here: what matters is Grafenia’s offering to its client base and how it
can expand its client base. Financially, time is on Grafenia’s side. Its
business base with printing franchises is cash generative and its
printing ‘hub’ is well invested and running at very decent utilisation
rates. In another way, this as per itself is not enough. Grafenia is
certainly nothing if not innovative and that innovation is driven both
bottom-up (what its franchisees and what the franchisee customers
need) and from the strategic ‘top down.’
Two years into significant overhead and design investment, Grafenia’s
printing side has expanded to enable end users to web-design their
material using a Grafenia template. Today, start-up businesses are
going to the web designer first and Grafenia is the platform for them
to have easy-to-use design template, ready to go. Print is the back
end, cloud web design enablement is the front end. This expansionary
move gives two converging business streams (web design and
printing). Grafenia in a strong position to grab significant market
share.
Nettl, Grafenia's new 'cross media' franchise offering, embracing Web,
Apps, Design, ecommerce as well a printing (W3P) will launch at the
National Franchise Exhibition, this week. “We’d like to see at least 50
franchisees that share our vision move across [to Nettl] whilst still
keeping Printing.com as a secondary brand. This is all about winning
clients and if we can win them in two ways rather than just one and
then cross-sell the other services that puts us in a stronger position”
says CEO Tony Rafferty. The Manchester and Birmingham studios are
the first of four Grafenia-owned Printing.com studios to switch over to
the Nettl format, with London just opened and Dublin to come
imminently, then others. Then there is Marqetspace, another
relatively recent initiative aimed towards graphic designers, which
successfully launched early 2014 and is generating significant revenue.
