Its honestly pretty crazy the stock closed up only 1% on this update. UK small caps are just completely ignored by investors. Eventually that will change though, it always does

Tipped by interactive investor today - may explain the rise.

Trading Update around 20th Feb.

Management understands current market expectations for year to be revenue GBP78.9m and adjusted PBT GBP9.5m

Where is the bottom here?
Post 164 above is yet another good reason why you should never take any notice of what the IC (or Chronic Investor as better known) writes. Any talent there ever was there left many years ago.

Investors Chronicle KEYS Buy 705p 'Keystone stands out from legal crowd'
'Law firm’s clever business delivers strong growth, in spite of tight jobs market'

The journalist Jemma Slingo says 'Wage inflation is a big problem for law firms, whose success is rooted in the quality of their solicitors. So far, however, Keystone seems to have dodged the worst.'

Surely, but tell me if I'm wrong, KEYS benefits from wage inflation - as they don't pay their Lawyers - they take a slice of their income.

Hi tradertrev, tkamp

Hmmm good thoughts - thanks.

I regard a high eps is a reflection of perceived current versus future value by investors, often compounded by tightly held stock. We know that the results are going to be good which would have moved the eps in the right direction - and still will. So, why has sentiment changed?

So, it probably comes down to their USP as you say - is it sustainable? They are offering more than just WFH - “No targets, no politics, no pressure” is their pitch to Lawyers and the ability to operate on a self-employed basis with a supporting infrastructure. I can see the appeal in that offering - its already been successful and I can't see anything that seriously challenges it.

Clearly, the legal services market is booming - and its difficult to understand KGH's recent RNS commentary. The circumstances leading to this demand may wain but probably not over the short-term timeframe.

The problem that remains, as I see it, is that its difficult to project the two revenue drivers very far out into the future. M&A activity is pretty erratic for example and legal services generally appear uncorrelated to wider market conditions (often seen as a plus point). Transparency I feel is thus limited.

As still a relatively new sector of the stock market it would be good to identify some leading indicators that guide investors as to growth (or otherwise) prospects.
I'd welcome anyone offering insights, ideas and suggestions on this?

Regards Maddox

Alphabet . Your reasoning that the current misery should create more legal work is referred to in a recent You-tube video by the directors of Litigation Capital Management . LCM has just been tipped as a buy by Simon Thompson , the small-cap share tipster of Investors’ Chronicle . I bought back in to Keystone Law , Litigation Capital Management , and also Manolete Partners ( insolvency practitioners ) yesterday . Another legal company which I very much liked and held until the crash about three weeks ago is Anexo , who specialise in pursuing claims for vehicle accidents . However , given that there is currently far less traffic on the roads , it seems to me that , fortunately for the public but unfortunately for Anexo , there will be less business for them , so I don’t intend to go back in to Anexo for a while . Good luck and do your own research .

Tipped as a buy in today’s Investors’ Chronicle , but the price hasn’t moved .

With only one day's trading now until the RNS next Wednesday , the shares continue to rise ( up 1.8% ( 9p ) today to £ 5.00 / £ 5.18 ) . This in spite of today's RNS stating that Merian have reduced their holding from 5.8% to less than 5% . Also the comment in today's Investors' Chronicle , although stating the obvious , could be construed slightly negatively : " Investors will be looking for signs that Keystone's proprietary platform model is still successfully drawing in lawyer recruits " . So often shares wilt in the last few days before the release of figures , so let's hope that this rise continues next Tuesday and that it is the harbinger of good annual figures on Wednesday .

Probably just some idiot who put in a market sell-order when there was no liquidity. Volumes today were super low so best guess is that a lack of liquidity caused this.Company released no news and the trade volumes were much too small for an institutional investor to be selling.
