"Keywords Studios smashing expectations with strong first-half performance
12:54 27 Jul 2017

Andrew Day, chief executive of Keywords Studios PLC (LON:KWS), tells Proactive they've beaten expectations with a strong first-half performance."

Berenberg have raised their target price from 980p to 1150p together with a BUY recommendation.

[croasdalelfc] 27/7/2017 11:02

Finncap has raised target to 1000p

[croasdalelfc] 27/7/2017 11:00

Berenberg, finncap , Numis and Citigroup cover KWS

[alphabeta4] 27/7/2017 10:13

Wow - there we have it; £10 paid. For a moment there was virtually nothing left on the right hand side of the book.

[croasdalelfc] 27/7/2017 10:11

Still low volume and might get a broker upgrade

[bamboo2] 27/7/2017 09:13

Taken some profit this morning on hitting target and will be in meetings this morning so no time to trade.

Aware of a potential turn in the price on the daily chart.

Kept some back for now, as we could still see a high later in the day.

People cottoning on finally to the gaming industry

Great market reaction to the update; very pleasing.

[croasdalelfc] 27/7/2017 07:28

1000 soon and upgraded broker forecast by Berenberg

[glaws2] 27/7/2017 07:20

Excellent statement - no doubt explains the 12% jump in shareprice over the last 2 days. No doubt will fall today......

[rivaldo] 27/7/2017 07:14

A terrific trading update today, summarised by the following:



"We are delighted with our progress so far this year. This has enabled us to deliver a first half performance ahead of our expectations, underpinning our confidence in the Group at least meeting market consensus for the year as whole."

And there are definitely more acquisitions on the cards.

Can't ask for much more than that.

[panic investor] 27/7/2017 07:12

Wasn't expecting that so soon ! Nice

[croasdalelfc] 26/7/2017 22:56

Also a half year TU due any day soon

[saucepan] 26/7/2017 14:40

Thanks, rivaldo. I had not seen that info. It might well fully explain the strength.

Nevertheless, I will not be surprised to see said major acquisition at some point soon. The loan was negotiated for a reason.

[rivaldo] 26/7/2017 14:34

Citigroup this week initiated coverage with a Buy and a 1030p target - perhaps you missed it Saucepan?

[saucepan] 26/7/2017 14:26

I just wonder if something in particular is driving the enormous strength of the past two days. Has someone got wind of a major acquisition?

KWS has negotiated a significant debt facility with Barclays and I recall Andrew Day saying something along the lines of it being madness not to try to make use of it.

Complete conjecture, but it is nice to see the price movement all the same: a very significant breakout.

[bruceylegs] 25/7/2017 17:29

Congrats Bamboo - you were spot on calling the base of this move at 730.

[bamboo2] 25/7/2017 15:49

I don't want it to end!

[panic investor] 25/7/2017 15:40

What a day eh Bamboo ? This GAW and FEVR !

[bamboo2] 25/7/2017 15:30

An EOD close over 874 confirms a tp of minimum 950 on the recent bowl/cup.

Perhaps we will get this confirmation today?

[aimingupward2] 25/7/2017 11:16

It would! I don't have access to that, though.

[rivaldo] 25/7/2017 10:57

That's great news aimingupward2, cheers - it would be useful to see Citigroup's forecasts and justification for 1030p.

[bamboo2] 25/7/2017 10:26

ali, current near term target price [tp] is 863. So I think it is still worth considering. Averaging in might be a good idea? imo

Once this closes above the prior all-time high [ath approx 874] Then we have some much more juicy tp's to aim for at 950+
