Far from great news. This company is overhyped IMHO. In hindsight, I am glad to have got stopped out in December although I lost a lot, having got in at 227.

Sold out - been my worst performer for some time but fell through stop loss today - better to sell

[lomax99] 16/1/2018 08:35

Disappointing. I have averaged down.

Explains recent share non performance

[darrenp746] 16/1/2018 07:52

A negative rns expecting a drop today, at the moment anything other than very positive seems to get punished

[ayl30] 16/1/2018 07:31

Reads like a profit miss trying to be positive, jam tomorrow. Not what I was expecting, they really must get better at managing expectations

It’s behind you...

[john09] 05/1/2018 14:03

No it’s not

When the result will be announced?

[lomax99] 03/1/2018 08:49

Patience will hopefully be rewarded. Investec have Revenues at £35.6M and EBITDA up to £11.1M in their 2017 forecasts (2016 Actuals: Revenue £28.6M, EBITDA £9.2M).
I will continue to add sub £2.

Ayl30, I agree that they aren't exactly over active on the PR front but as you say, worth hanging around for the next update. Regarding AI, I thought it was very telling that Google recently announced hiring 10,000 people to review youtube content manually. If their tech can't screen out extremist videos then I think it will be many years before AI can make life and death decisions with reading scans.Dibbs

Regarding the AI 'threat', scroll back to mid Sept postings Ay130, there was some discussion then.

[ayl30] 02/1/2018 23:05

I will hold at least to the next formal update, will re-evaluate at that point. They don't seem be be very good at keeping the PR pot boiling, they have a good story to tell but seem reluctant to do so. I am not asking for the share to be ramped up, more just keeping it in the news. On news tonight they are talking about how AI will be used to read scans, this could potentially impact on this co longer term

thebigshortfella,

It's tricky with a relatively new listing to know what to expect with regards whether or not MGP will issue a trading statement as there is no historical pattern to look at. It took them around 2 1/2 months to issue interim results so I'd imagine around mid March for year end results.

Let's not forget that MGP floated at 135p so it's not been a bad start. Saying that it's traded sideways for a long while since so not many of us that bought post float have made any money. From RNS announcements there has been a lot of institutional buying and selling going. Just a matter of time before the sellers dry up and if trading remains strong then we could see some gains from here. I think this looks a high quality business with defensive qualities so I'm happy to be patient.

If SCSW are to be believed (I do) recruitment of radiographers has continued at pace. Hopefully to a degree that expectations will be beaten but who knows! Patience will hopefully be rewarded.

This is proving an incredibly frustrating share. Any views or upcoming RNSs?

[middlesboroughfc] 27/12/2017 12:26

Be 240p in a jiffy I suspect

[che7win] 22/12/2017 12:08

What a load of garbage, this is going to fall fast.

[thebigshortfella] 22/12/2017 11:23

ggbarabajagal - please could you tell us the rationale behind your statement. Thanks
