04/7/2019 21:06 | Of course it’s been driven by acquisition that’s the name of the game .Is that really such a surprise.You acquire a company,you offer them equity in the combined group,strength in numbers.The expertise goes up and down in the lift,you tie them in by making them equity partners.....and one day a bigger fish might come along and do exactly the same to whole of KWS ......who knows. | steeplejack | |
04/7/2019 16:41 | Indeed it is. When this was 24 pounds per share I predicted it would drop to sub 10. It did. I wasn't far out on last year's results. This has got overvalued again, in my humble view. They had write offs relating to a number of clients last year as they went under. Those revenues need to be made up for the growth story to continue. With a 300 million revenue base, to maintain 40% growth they need an additional 120 million. That is two VMCs. That has not happened. I'm not negative on the stock but feel it should be valued at 10-15 times earnings in line with most other tech companies. You can do the math and work out where that puts this. Do your own research. | 1670127 | |
04/7/2019 14:27 | Bit of fun: Pretend market update Keywords Studios (kws) lost 10% in morning trade following Peel Hunt issuing a sell note with £13.10 target price. Peel Hunt, who were spectacularly wrong with a £12.54 note back on 9th April which cost their clients 50% upside, upped their EBITDA target 8% but tweaked their valuation method to save face and keep their upgraded target to £13.10. A spokesman commented: 'yeah, we stuffed up a bit. This note gets us a bit closer to the new price and hopefully will look sensible enough to cause a wave of panic selling to further close the gap.' We also approached Keywords but they just said 'meh' and shrugged their shoulders. Ends | alphabeta4 | |
04/7/2019 13:39 | It's worth looking at 1670127's posting history :o)) | rivaldo | |
04/7/2019 13:31 | Kws growth has been driven by acquisitions. The last 12 months has seen a few take place but these have all been small so expect the growth rate to drop significantly from last year. The founders sold 8 million pounds of shares a couple of months back which is not a great sign. Not sure if the current PE ratio supports the reduced growth rates but that is everyone's call. I expect this to go back sub 10 pounds when the results to end June are released. | 1670127 | |
04/7/2019 12:46 | Amazing isn't it, the sheep/herd mentaility. Still, the sharp ones amongst them will now be buying back the shares they sold first thing. Congrats to them. | rivaldo | |
04/7/2019 12:30 | Growth for the last 5 years (as captured yesterday's data) -------------------- Name................ Keywords Studios plc...6.24..4.44...3 | christh | |
04/7/2019 12:12 | Could be general market happenings, it's still valued pretty highly, so you never know from here. | bulltradept | |
04/7/2019 12:12 | Last year share price 24th August 2018 was 2060 and then down to 1064 on New Year. ' A great business model but with a Volatile share price | togglebrush | |
04/7/2019 11:53 | Amazing the share price can fall 10% in a day because a broker has increased their price target! Buying opportunity. | melody9999 | |
04/7/2019 10:34 | Nothing Ali - Peel have been consistently behind the curve - their last price change was a note on 9/4 (finals) with a £12.54 target, all that's happened is they've upped it 56p since. Berenberg had £16 9/4 and were proved correct. | alphabeta4 | |
04/7/2019 10:10 | thanks wommble,we've been having good news-sowhat has changed? | ali47fish | |

27/6/2019 13:59 | Berenberg comment that "there is an abundance of structural tailwinds that are likely to drive the games industry forward over the coming years", with streaming heralding the "dawn of a new age" for companies including KWS, who are namechecked as follows: "Video game streaming is the dawn of a new age June 26, 2019 Analysts from investment bank Berenberg visited E3, the annual gaming expo held in Los Angeles, and in a comprehensive report provided a valuable analysis of the importance of the event to the industry, and pay-subscription patterns. Berenberg’s first comment is that there is an abundance of structural tailwinds that are likely to drive the games industry forward over the coming years.... ....Streaming will also provide a strong tailwind for Keywords Studios (Keywords) and Sumo, which have both announced agreements with streaming platforms also.... ....Lastly, there is some concern from publishers that the increased graphical power of the new consoles will increase the cost, and risk, of new game development. Publishers may look to offset this risk by securing upfront licence agreements for new content. In terms of the outsourcing companies – Keywords and Sumo – backwards compatibility and the potential increase game development costs are supportive dynamics". | rivaldo | |
26/6/2019 07:13 | Encouraging sector narrative from Sumo's update today: "The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment (UKIE) reports that the UK market for games was valued at a record of £5.7bn in 2018, representing +10.0% growth on the previous year. Newzoo expects the global games market to grow from $152.1billion in 2019 to $196 billion by 2022.... ...The resounding global confidence in the gaming sector was evidenced at the recent E3 Conference in Los Angeles. Microsoft announced its new console 'Project Scarlett', which is scheduled for release in 2020. Google confirmed its Stadia platform by releasing pricing options; and Apple Arcade continues to excite. Five of the largest businesses in the world, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Tencent are actively driving growth in our industry, so the demand for content has never been higher." | rivaldo | |
17/6/2019 09:12 | This appointment should mean fewer bugs in the software. edit, Well I thought it was funny. | bamboo2 | |
17/6/2019 08:57 | Nice pull back for those today to have a few more. | bulltradept | |
17/6/2019 08:50 | Does not look to be any concern with change of CFO here. 1 incumbent to stay in post until new replacement starts 2 looks like a quality hire The whole process must have been planned for some time and guess the company will part on good terms with David. He in turn will leave the finances in good shape. | melody9999 | |
17/6/2019 07:23 | Poached new CFO from RTO.......His experience at Rentokil Initial with its operations across 73 countries world-wide and its highly active M&A program will be extremely valuable to us as we continue to grow Keywords Studios both organically and by acquisition | bigbigdave | |
16/6/2019 18:11 | Big interview with the CEO: Extracts: "Day says that Keywords has no plans to slow down anytime soon. “There is a very active pipeline of acquisitions. On the one hand we have strong organic growth, and then acquisitions to come on top,” he says." "Now, Keywords and Day are in the thick of another shift as massive players such as Google, a Keywords client, and Apple are looking to get a share of the market." “What has been validated over the years is that, as a trusted provider of services to the industry, we are taken with the industry. When the industry goes to streaming they take Keywords with it. We are working with Google and others in the space to help them get their services up off the ground,” Day says. "While games remains the primary focus, Day also has designs on broadening Keywords’ reach." “It is an area of the strategy that we articulated at the time of our IPO in 2013, when we said we will step out into neighbouring areas. You can’t help (but) see the similarities in what we do for video games in film and television, where they are using a lot of the same technology,” he says. A decade since taking over, Day’s enthusiasm is as strong as ever. “I hope we can carry on doing what we are doing. Our plan is to get to the point where these big clients of ours would feel comfortable in offloading big chunks of what they are currently doing internally to a company like us,” he says." | rivaldo | |
12/6/2019 11:55 | Relatively small, but quite significant. It's firstly very complementary, secondly gives DVW the opportunity to scale up through the KWS group, and thirdly brings a beachhead into Vancouver and new geographies/markets. And it's also extremely good value and earnings-enhancing at CAD0.66m PBT for just a CAD3.2m price. Another canny acquisition. | rivaldo | |
12/6/2019 09:04 | Well, not the most ambitious of purchases and follows a recent pattern of negligible acquisitions. Happy to continue watching and will buy on weakness. | rathean |
