Recent discussions among investors on ADVFN regarding Gulf Marine Services Plc (GMS) reveal a mix of sentiment, predominantly stemming from the ongoing impact of Seafox's stake reductions and market behavior. Notably, over 111 million shares were traded in January, which represents more than 10% of the fully diluted share count. Key price points were highlighted, with a significant portion of the trading volume concentrated between 15.2 and 15.57p, indicating potential resistance and interest levels around these markers. Several investors expressed caution due to uncertainty concerning Seafox's potential intentions to distribute or sell down its remaining stake, which contributes a notable overhang on the stock.
Investor sentiment appears cautious but reflects a potential for recovery. Quotes such as "I hope we get 15 again. Be great to add there," signal a desire among some investors to seize buying opportunities at lower levels, while comments like "This needs to be flushed out" from Mikeh30 suggest a viewpoint that addressing the overhang will be key for future price stability and ascension. Additionally, discussions indicate that the recent market dynamics may be indicating a shift, with investors speculating on the implications of Seafox's stake gradually nearing resolution, as reflected in statements like "It feels like we could see an announcement in the other direction with the recent price move." Overall, while uncertainties loom, there is a sense that clearing the overhang could lead to a more favorable trading environment for GMS.

Gulf Marine Services PLC has announced significant developments regarding its share distribution by its major shareholder, Seafox International Limited. On January 29, 2025, the company reported that Seafox has completed the fourth round of distributing its shares to its own shareholders as a dividend in specie. This distribution does not involve the sale of shares, indicating a strategic move to enhance shareholder value rather than reducing Seafox's stake in Gulf Marine Services.
This ongoing share redistribution highlights a potential reshaping of the shareholder base of Gulf Marine Services as Seafox International continues to offload its holdings. The impact of these changes on the company’s stock performance remains to be seen, but such moves may alter the dynamics of shareholder engagement and influence in future decision-making, particularly as the company navigates its growth strategies in the marine services sector. Financial implications will be closely monitored by analysts as the market responds to these shifts.

Nice to be up today on a tough market day |
Yet the share has closed above 17p on many days since the warrants were issued and only some have been cashed in. Indeed you are asking the wrong person as I don't hold any warrants. Ask yourself, or even better, an actual warrant holder, why they aren't taking their profits now in a click?I understand the fears, but the evidence isn't there. My shares are for sale at a price, so are everyone's. That is 100% of issued shares could be offered at any time. |
I said that's my biggest worry. Simple.If you had a bunch of warrants now you could buy for 5.75p and have an instant realisation of 17p you wouldn't take it? 200% gain in a click? |
mikeh30 - Tell me why warrants will convert at the last possible date and then immediately try to sell? They would be morons. Almost certainly the remainder have been traded, possibly several times, to a medium term holder. Otherwise they would have been converted just like the tranche in the summer. Any to be sold, i.e. to cover the cost of conversion, will be forward sold in the market. |
Point being 15p seemed to be the floor for the Seafox distribution selling.What will the floor be for the 5.75p warrants |
My biggest worry is this churn comes to an end and they unleash 83 million shares from warrants at 5.75p |
111m shares traded in January, which is well over 10% of the fully diluted share count, and even more as a proportion of the shares currently in issue. |
Seems someone already has the bin bag out! |
I wonder when the wet and dry hoover will arrive and take all those weak holders tears in to its tank?! |
Tbh I hope we get 15 again. Be great to add there |
being smashed again - I guess 15p on the cards |
I think it's the uncertainty of what Seafox will do with the remaining 5% (most likely sell down) plus the 83 million warrant shares.That's a 15% overhang to clear in reality before price discovery. |
They have been selling since the last RNS. |
I think Seafox will go to zero. Why bother going from 30% to 5%. The intent is there.This needs to be flushed out and news of the 83million warrants getting placed somewhere will push this on |
I think weak holders is a misconception. Eager sellers is more appropriate and there is quite the difference. Weak holders are scared out by moves in the market whereas the sellers demanding the Seafox distribution are / were the market. I too am surprised at the relative lack of positive holding RNS thus far, which suggests a healthy well distributed shareholder base. |
AFAICS, Seafox held 10.4% (after the 11/11/24 TR1) and on 19/12/24 announced their intention to distribute a further 5.4% to its own shareholders. |
Feels like we could see an announcement in the other direction with the recent price move. |
That's the one. |
Yep, looking good. Decent early volumes once again too. |
Will soon be in the distance. |
Testing another key breakout point at 18p |
It looks like the buyer turned off the taps in the middle of the day to encourage the easily frit to give up their shares. Not much to pick up clearly. |
Still a buyer around obviously. I expect we've seen the last of the big sells until we move to a range where it's worth them selling. I expect that begins with a 2, at least. |
