This is all just general market sentiment. Just about every stock out there is getting battered. I'm well down but I topped up the last time it hit 100 so I will do so again. It may go a little lower but it has some good support and can bounce quite quickly when it does. It didn't take long to recover to 125 last time.

Just topped up around 105p may go lower but happy to add at these levels. Have set further order at 90p should bag from there if broker targets on the money.

It will not have escaped the notice of careful LTG investors that a weak pound (in trouble as I type following yet more very choppy water around Brexit) will only help the company as it generates a significant majority of its recurring earnings-hopefully further enhanced going forward by the further acquisition announced today, in the USA.Will be interesting to see whether the considered reaction of investors after the presentations today further strengthen the price back towards the levels briefly touched a few weeks ago.Irrelevant for me as I continue to be an enthusiastic HOLD and ADD when the price (inexplicably) shows weakness.

What is there not to like.
-extremely bullish statement going forward
-CFO buying at 127 a lot of shares not that long ago
-beating expectations in the past

I struggled to get my order filled this morning to buy. A really good sign.
Volume on track to be above average

-Yes...should kick on from here with a forecast like that....with their record of achieving a year or 2 ahead of schedule perhaps we could see the £55m end of 2020.

Whatever, this stock must be a fund managers dream....I would hope to see some significant holdings RNS into the future.

The relentless march forward continues.
The board continues to extend growth targets, and then achieve them ahead of schedule.

Watershed Acquisition and Strategic Goals Update

LTG acquires remaining 70% stake in Watershed
New strategic goals for 2021
Capital Markets Event today

Learning Technologies Group plc, the leading integrated digital learning and talent management services and technologies provider, announces the acquisition of the remaining 70% of Watershed Systems Inc ("Watershed").

Following strong progress in 2018, including the recent acquisition of PeopleFluent, LTG is also pleased to announce a new strategic goal to achieve run-rate revenues of £200 million and run-rate EBIT of at least £55 million by the end of 2021.

Further context on the long-term strategy to support this new strategic goal will be provided to analysts and investors at a Capital Markets Event in London today.

Acquisition of Watershed

LTG initially acquired a 30% stake in Watershed on 29 January 2016, for a total consideration of US$3.0 million.

Watershed is a SaaS business that develops learning analytics. Customers use Watershed's actionable insights to adapt their learning strategy, creating more effective learning experiences and verifiable business results.

Since LTG's investment in 2016, Watershed has made good progress developing its suite of analytical tools and delivering compelling insights for a number of blue-chip customers. Watershed now has proven ability to harness data about learners to analyse and assess the impact of learning on organisational performance. This is a significant area of innovation and progress for the e-learning industry. As a wholly owned business within LTG, management believes that there are compelling and immediate opportunities to develop new routes to market for Watershed's product offering.

Watershed's revenue grew strongly in 2017 and 2018 YTD, albeit from a low base given its early stage of development. It made a loss before tax of $0.5 million in the 9 months to 30 September 2018. Management expects Watershed to break-even in 2019 and that it will be earnings accretive from 2020. Gross assets at the end of September were $2.5 million. LTG will acquire the balance* of Watershed for an initial consideration of $2.9m and up to $8.7m in deferred contingent consideration, all in cash, payable on the achievement of significant incremental revenue growth over the period 2019-2021.

2021 Strategic Goals and Capital Markets Event

Today's Capital Markets Event will feature presentations from senior management including Piers Lea (Chief Strategy Officer), Tim Martin (Chief Innovation and Product Officer), Stephen Bruce (MD of PeopleFluent) and Bruce Kile and Jeffery Lewis (co-MDs of Affirmity).

The team will provide insight into LTG's strategy to capitalise on the long-term structural growth drivers in the workplace learning and talent management market. This will include a deep-dive on LTG's Software & Platforms division, and the transformation in its learning platforms and talent software offering following the recent acquisition of PeopleFluent.

When LTG came to AIM five years ago the Board set the ambitious target of achieving run-rate revenues of £50 million and EBITDA margins of 20% by the end of 2018. These targets were met one year ahead of plan.

In October 2017 LTG announced new strategic objectives to the end of 2020, to double run-rate revenues to £100 million and for run-rate EBIT to exceed £25 million, achieved without significant dilution to shareholders. Following strong organic growth and the acquisition of PeopleFluent in May 2018, the 2020 goal set out last year has been achieved more than two years ahead of plan with acceleration aided by a placing of new shares, equivalent to c15% of issued share capital.

The Board is pleased to announce today new strategic objectives for the business that capture the positive outlook for the e-learning industry, the strong prospects for the Group and the current momentum we are enjoying. The Board's updated ambition is to achieve run-rate revenues of £200 million and run-rate EBIT of at least £55 million by the end of 2021.

LTG intends to meet these financial objectives through a combination of organic growth and strategic bolt-on acquisitions that complement the current business. It is the intention of the Board to finance any acquisitions and research & development that support the outlined revenue and EBIT targets through the use of internally generated operating cash flows and prudent debt financing.

In addition to the above, the Board will continue to evaluate strategic acquisitions of scale that may require shareholder financing and would be additive to these targets in financial contribution and / or in accelerating them. Strict criteria will continue to be used in assessing such acquisitions including the financial effects, integration risk and prospective returns.

The presentation and video from the Capital Markets Event will be available on our website in due course.

Jonathan Satchell, Chief Executive, said:

"I am thrilled that LTG is taking full ownership of Watershed, enabling the Group to capitalise on the ability to harness data insights to assess the impact of learning on organisational performance.

In the past five years, LTG has gone through a fundamental transformation. This is reflected in our organic growth, shift to a recurring revenue model, and increased US presence. Successfully integrating acquisitions, and driving improvement in the operating model and performance of the businesses we acquire, has been central to this evolution.

The successful integration of PeopleFluent announced at the time of our interim results remains on track, which alongside the performance of our other businesses gives the Board confidence in the outturn for 2018 and beyond. Today's new strategic goals to 2021 demonstrate our ambition to continue consolidating the high growth corporate e-learning market."

* The vendors of Watershed are Mike Rustici, Tim Martin and the Tennessee Technology Development Corporation. Approximately 14% of the initial and deferred consideration will be payable to Watershed employees.

It's the company's Capital Markets day tomorrow, so we might see some investment in LTG next week when institutions have had time to digest the good prospects which are likely to be put forward.

We already know from the half year report that the company expects the year end results to be 'significantly ahead of the Boards expectations' and that there are other attractive acquisition opportunities out there.

Mega sonic and I seem to be on the same page.LTG appears to be a perfectly well run tech company operating in a growing International sector with, it seems, further opportunities for consolidation, particularly in the US.Such expansion carries risk, as many good U.K. companies have discovered, but to date LTG looks to have a near 100% record on successfully consolidating acquisitions.It is however a sub £1bn AIM company and when the International markets get nervous, is of course going to be marked down sharply with all similar stocks.Was 165 too high? I have no idea.Was 100 too low? Almost certainly-but if the independent brokers carrying target prices of 175/190 are right, it certainly looked like a bargain buying opportunity.Stock price appears to be now in recovery and many will be interested to hear what the company has to say (if anything new) at their investor day later this month.

LTG is a tech stock. Given that a lot of sales are now being generated in the US, there is also much more interest from US traders. My feeling is LTG has been affected by the risk-off sentiment in the US this past month. If you are tracking the 5 FAANG firms, you'll notice the correlation between them and LTG. Further, the share price movement of LTG in relation to the FAANGs is more pronounced.

Add to this other macro issues such as trade wars and Brexit, the overall risk-off UK market sentiment is also impacting LTG (among other tech/property/bank stocks).

I agree with Tarrant previous post (826):
1) we are experiencing a market correction
2) its important to consider fundamentals - despite the high of 160s and lows of 100s this past month, the fundamentals have not changed, just the sentiment.

At 160+ and based on interims I felt LTG was overvalued. At its recent lows of 102, the company is definitely undervalued. About 150 is where it should be, and if Full Year results go the way BoD have indicated, then 190+ would be a reasonable target.

Looking further on than Full Year results in March 2019, I also agree with other posters who have indicated faith in BoD. One can and should forecast their future performance on an assessment of past performance.

To this point AB, JS & Co have have steered the company well. With reference to them selling some of their stake ... well as an investor myself I certainly do not begrudge them locking in some of their profit at all time share price highs, especially when said shares are offloaded to institutional investors and directors in question still hold 35% of the issued shares. I also locked in some of my gains.

For me, LTG has not been a punt. But I can understand if some will view it as such and I respect others' investment strategies. That said, LTG has been an investment with calculated risk for me. I'm happy to say that over the last 18 months the investment has been a good one and I anticipate more long term growth here.
