31/1/2019 09:29 | mf, kind of you to say so. I have added a few more this morning. A close above 1200 is what I am hoping for, for a longer term hold. The real key is an eod close above approx 1284, as this confirms the a very attractive INVH&S with a tp around 1600. Hist r at approx 1340 and 1440. | bamboo2 | |
31/1/2019 09:14 | good call bamboo, I thought about it but backed away: not sure why as I think I have a 100% record of profitable trades with KWS | mad foetus | |
31/1/2019 07:14 | Excellent trading statement - revenues, PBT and EPS are all above Edison's latst expectations. EPS in particular at 47.0c is well ahead of Edison's forecast 44.6c, helped by a reducing tax charge. Good to see KWS heavily involved in cloud-based gaming too. Hopefully we could see quite a sharp rise today. | rivaldo | |

30/1/2019 09:36 | Good new article on KWS: https ://www.proactiveinve Extract: " Inflection points: Keywords expects to post full-year adjusted profit before tax of around €37mln on revenues of about €250mln, representing increases of 61% and 65% on the prior year, respectively. Keywords selectively reviewing a strong acquisition pipeline Strengthened management team with newly created positions of chief commercial officer, chief marketing officer, global operations director, engineering service line director In the first half, the group spent €3.8mln in new or expanded facilities in Montreal, Dublin, London, Liverpool, Madrid, Katowice, New Delhi, Chengdu, Manila and Tokyo, adding 660 workstations Credit facility for up to €105mln secured in the first half to help fund acquisitions What analysts think Investment bank Citi has a ‘buy’ recommendation and target price of £21.50 on Keywords. Citi thinks the recent addition of 660 new workstations is a “lead indicator of growth momentum” and sees “higher acquisition assumption”. “We increase our annual revenue contribution from acquisitions to €35mln, which results in an increase to our acquisition upside valuation to £5.65,” it said. “This compares to an average of c.€40m since listing in FY14 and is in line with the mid-point guidance range for bolt on acquisitions, excluding any larger transactions.” Numis also has a ‘buy’ rating on Keywords and a target price of £24.20. The broker said it continues to view Keywords as a “top technology sector pick”. The broker noted that management is confident of meeting market expectations for the full year, meaning organic growth of 13%, and thinks this demonstrates “ongoing market share gain within an already attractive market”." | rivaldo | |

08/1/2019 14:14 | Nice upgrade today from Davy Stockbrokers in Ireland: "Keywords Studios is poised to benefit from the industry's move to cloud-based gaming, Davy says, upgrading the stock to outperform from neutral. The Dublin-based provider of services to videogame developers continues to grow its sales above the industry average and should benefit further in 2019 and 2020 from the shift to cloud gaming, Davy says. As key players invest substantially in cloud gaming, Keywords stands to gain in areas such as the re-engineering of existing gaming content and its porting to cloud platforms, as well as in testing and language-and-support services, the brokerage says." | rivaldo | |

03/1/2019 16:04 | From BBC News: “The video games sector now accounts for more than half of the UK's entire entertainment market, according to a new report. The industry is worth £3.86bn ($4.85bn) - more than double its value in 2007 - said the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA). That makes it more lucrative than video and music combined. The success is largely down to three games: Fifa 19, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The games market has grown, despite the fact that the physical console and PC games market shrank slightly in 2018, and digital also had a modest 12.5% growth. Chief executive of ERA, Kim Bayley said: "The games industry has been incredibly effective in taking advantage of the potential of digital technology to offer new and compelling forms of entertainment. Despite being the youngest of our three sectors, it is now by far the biggest." | aimingupward2 | |
02/1/2019 13:56 | Here's "30 sci-tech leaders we’ll be following in 2019" from Silicon Republic: "Andrew Day. Image: Keywords Studios. A major games services firm located in Dublin, Keywords Studios has been at the centre of several success stories of late. Recently, the studios made its eighth acquisition of 2018, snapping up Studio Gobo and Electric Square. CEO Andrew Day is keen to position Keywords Studios as “a go-to game development partner, and give us ever greater visibility of games in the pipeline, at the outset of their development”. Keywords also reported stellar earnings in August 2018, with revenues for H1 rising by a massive 72pc. Describing company performance as “very encouraging”, Day looks set to help it stay the course." | rivaldo | |

21/12/2018 08:24 | Today's acquisition of Sunny Side Up is from my count the 12th acquisition of 2018, and possibly not even the last with a few days left! KWS still has lots of firepower for further, and larger, acquisitions. Even if organic growth slows, cross-selling and synergies should provide decent tailwinds as well as the obvious full year contribution from the many acquisitions. And KWS' core sectors of gaming and entertainment/produc Today's update actually states that around €37m of adjusted profits are "within" the range of forecasts, so evidently it's above some and below others. It's certainly below Edison's, so their follow-up note should shed some light. Edison's forecast for the coming year is around 50p EPS - without any uplift for today's or future acquisitions. A P/E of 20 or so for a company in a growing sector with such a good track record and substantial acquisition action to come isn't particularly challenging if that P/E soon reduces to say 14 or 15 post-acquisitions. | rivaldo | |
21/12/2018 08:11 | Not beating analysts expectations. No big acquisition in time for end of year like promised. Just a small company bought for a P/E of 5. They can continue doing that but you have to wonder why punters are ascribing KWS a P/E of 20 when they are acquiring single digit P/Es. Where is next years growth coming from? | phowdo |
