Industry related news

A London-based virtual reality firm has raised $500m (£388m) in one of the biggest investments in an early stage European technology business.
Japan's Softbank is backing Improbable in a funding round that values the business at more than $1bn.
The deal is further evidence that the UK's technology sector can now compete with the best.
There may also be relief that despite the cash injection from Japan, Improbable will stay independent.

Good news today, with another acquisition mainly from cash - small, but highly strategic it would seem...



""We are delighted to welcome XLOC's talented team to Keywords Studios, having worked well together and recommended each other's solutions across many game titles over several years. XLOC brings to the Group a scaleable, leading, proprietary software application that is embedded in to the localisation processes of games developers. Its system is relied upon from an earlier stage than Keywords Studios has typically been involved and will enable the Group to provide integrated software and services across the full localisation cycle, in addition to offering XLOC as a standalone solution."

They seem to work in a similar fashion to ACSO when it comes to acquisitions - have to be perfect and immediately earnings enhancing Been reading a lot about moat stocks today and these pair all be it on a smaller scale seem to have their industries tied up - extremely hard for a new kid on the block to break into their clients - current and future !

The cash must be burning a hole in the CEOs pockets as he does love an aquisition. Always worth waiting for the right fit, interesting to see if they span out of games (but still complentary)as suggested recently.

Re the above referenced, 5 April presentation [ :

On one slide, Andrew Day spoke to the increased debt facility that KWS has recently negotiated (with Barclays, if memory serves me correctly). He then made a somewhat aside remark along the lines of: “the cost of debt being what it is currently; frankly, it would be silly not to take advantage of the opportunity”.

I thought that was a very interesting throw-away remark. It made me think he has something in mind/in the pipeline. Typically, KWS funds its smaller acquisitions from cashflow, and it still has plenty of cash in the war chest. Thus, if KWS is considering taking advantage of the debt facility and has made the effort to line it up, there could well be something pretty momentous and possibly very significantly earnings enhancing (further transformational) on the cards in the not too distant future?

Very convincing afternoon strength today, by the way; augurs well.

RNS - the AGM on 25th May will be worth attending as there's a special presentation for investors.

Great to see KWS bringing a little creativity and attention to one of the rare occasions shareholders get to meet and question management.

Cheers dixies - you surprise me given the trades after 12.00, but there you go.

Glad to hear he said keep RNWH as I'm a long-term holder there too :o))

PI, The potential turns are apex based. They are quite reliable in some share charts and are formed where two trendlines meet in a triangle or wedge apex. This sometimes has an effect on price, even after price action has moved on from the original triangle.

I am currently testing out the best type of chart pricing to use, Mid price[advfn] or Last Price traded.

See here for more info,


Can supply more info if of interest.

No, Rivaldo, there was no mention of KWS. He did advise taking profits in ABDP but run profits in RNWH both of which I hold.

Looks to me given the post 12.00 selling that Simon Thompson advised some profit-taking here.

I have a feeling that those who sold in the 730p-740p area may well come to regret their decision (and maybe they are already!).

interesting piece by Research Tree CEO he wrote yday... KWS is this week's Focus Stock

"The Focus Stock this week is Keyword Studios, a high growth company that is both incredibly acquisitive and enjoying robust organic growth. KWS is a quality operator with a strong Balance Sheet that could comfortably carry more debt. Management has a clear strategic direction and operates in a fragmented market.

The shares trade at a premium after a 300% rise over the last 15 months, and as with any growth company, it’s hard to know whether today’s price has got ahead of itself, or that, looking back in a few years time, today’s level will have been a bargain.

Below I briefly outline what the business does, the nature of the market it operates in, and the level of competition it faces. I also run through a valuation exercise to demonstrate what growth the shares are currently pricing in and how acquisitions might affect this."

You can see the full thing here, it's ungated. Warning, it's bloody long but worth reading

Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the Synthesis acquisition, which means 1.2m new shares are scheduled to be issued as part of the deferred consideration. Not sure exactly how many shares are currently in issue, but I think it's around 2% dilution.
