Cristh- why should the new asset get us treated to 2300p? At the moment it seems to be slipping back when it get a little bit passed 1700p. Anyone else got thoughts on the medium term movement? Personally holding for long term but always interested in buying on a bit of short term weakness.

rivaldo
the company should be re-rated to take in to account the new asset.

The new target price then will be around £23

Thanks Nimbo and vill. Helpful data. My problem is (which might turn out to be a blessing) that when I have bought an extra few to trade on the range I end up holding on to them. So far they are all in the blue, so no complaints.

I've just had another look at the chart and things are looking quite positive IMHO.From Nov '17 to mid March '18, 16.50 - 16.75 was resistance, hitting it roughly 3 times before breaking out above to over 18 before dropping back again. The second time we broke 16.50 - 16.75 on the 10th April we stayed above that level, bouncing off it 4 times on 23/4, 25/4, 18/5 and 31/5. I'm holding / buying as long as support holds. Next step is to break the resistance at 18.40 - 18.70.

Scooper. fwiw buys 5332 1710 vs 462 1720. 19551 vs 13062 so seems decent support here today.

The price bounced well of the 1660p area, even it has stayed around 1700p for now. Glad I bought a few more.

[mad foetus] 31/5/2018 11:13

Topped up just now

[scooper72] 31/5/2018 11:06

Anyone can check level2 at the moment? Haven't got it on my phone. Just wondering if this is looking like a good support level for a little trade. Have a lot in my SIPP but looks like a chance to boost my isa

Yesterday's RNS hasn't been posted here - I note that Kames Capital have been buying and have gone above 3% with 1.9m shares:

I hadn't noticed that Peel Hunt had also increased their target price today (as well as Numis' new 2100p target) :o))

[shanklin] 30/5/2018 09:24

That is Peel Hunt. The Nulis change is higher up the list

[pyglet] 30/5/2018 09:22

Really new price looks like £19 to me

[rivaldo] 30/5/2018 09:08

Numis have today increased their target price to 2180p (from 1865p) and say Buy:

[rivaldo] 30/5/2018 07:48

This is what KWS does so successfully and has been doing so for years now. No hyperbole needed, just a rational look at today's RNS.

If this acquisition makes £1m PBT this coming year, and enables cross-selling by other group companies into its terrific customer list, and enables a further push into esports, then that's probably worth a praiseworthy post imho.

[pireric] 30/5/2018 07:41

Cmon Rivaldo its tiny, why all the hyperbole

[villarich] 30/5/2018 07:34

This is a great fit and a great price. Up to just under 8 times current profit. Also another foot in the esports space.

[rivaldo] 30/5/2018 07:08

Excellent new acquisition - and highly earnings-enhancing with a maximum £5.2m paid for £0.7m PBT:



Good to see the further expansion into esports, and the customer list is terrific, including Sony, Square Enix, Riot Games, Deep Silver, Sega, Capcom and Ubisoft.

[panic investor] 30/5/2018 07:08

Seems another nice fit

[pyglet] 25/5/2018 16:39

nice finish - maybe something brewing from the agm

[snew] 25/5/2018 14:56

thanks RH!

They didn't last year, only a very short RNS after the AGM to confirm all resolutions passed.

Based on last year's experience the next news will be the half year trading update at the end of July.
