bbd: that really is a terrific video presentation. What a business sector; what a niche within it; and what a Company!

Andrew Day: so impressive, as always.

Great to see Numis' new 820p target - cheers bbd.

Interview with the CEO - a "fabulous" year, a good start to 2017 and more acquisitions likely. Plus mention of augmented reality (much more likely to take off imo than virtual reality), e-learning etc.....

Highly profitable, 38% gross margin is very impressive.

[rubberbullets] 04/4/2017 09:23

Ready to surge

IGR breakout. Zulu

[cfro] 04/4/2017 08:36

Exceptional results from a truly exceptional company. Highlight for me was the massive increase in net cashflow.

As modform says: just buy it and sleep on it. Absolutely miles to go here yet..

[modform] 04/4/2017 08:33

Buy it sleep on it, the rest is noise to ignore

[rivaldo] 04/4/2017 08:28

Terrific results, cash flows, outlook and potential. It's not cheap, but then you have to pay for quality.

[panic investor] 04/4/2017 07:38

You are joking aren't you ?

[rubberbullets] 04/4/2017 07:30

bit of an anticlimax

[bamboo2] 03/4/2017 16:38

More or less hit my chart target price today, so sold for +20% those bought on 22 March. If only all my trades went like this! lol

Hope to buy back post results.

Super move towards the close.

[rivaldo] 03/4/2017 08:55

New highs with lots more AT trade buying, plus a 3k buy at 668.25p.

[panic investor] 02/4/2017 10:56

as you say BBD not good news, similar to the High Street now becoming entertainment zones rather than places to actually shop. The young can no longer afford to buy property so they tend to spend it on leisure activities instead, food, drink, leisure parks and gaming.

Bladerunner here we come !

[bigbigdave] 02/4/2017 08:16

Not such good news for the young unemployed sadly but good news for KWS perhaps

[whymps2] 30/3/2017 22:02

Thanks Rivaldo

[cfro] 30/3/2017 17:45

Good to see the strength into the close.

[saucepan] 30/3/2017 16:42

The breakout has been on the cards all week. Let's hope it is the beginning of a significant move.

I think preliminary results are due to be published next week. (Currently unconfirmed, but 5 April last year). Even though we have an idea of the numbers from the latest update, we might get a further "outlook" indication?

[bigbigdave] 30/3/2017 16:37

645p close, new ath :o)

[rivaldo] 30/3/2017 16:05

Whymps, these are automated order book trades. Associated with funds/institutions rather than PIs.

[whymps2] 30/3/2017 11:18

AT buying Rivaldo?

[rivaldo] 30/3/2017 10:17

Looks like institutional buying too judging by the amount of AT buying first thing this morning.
