...from a few months ago...

Microfocus is engaged in infrastructure software across the globe and is currently supporting corporations transform its business operations with solutions within information management and predictive analysis. These plausible and precedented cutting-edge software initiatives enhanced the firm’s net cash position, illustrated by the robust P/FCF ratio of 14.6. As a result,  the firm’s liquidity surged and thereby EV/EBITDA simultaneously soared to 7.72. Consequently, it implies that Microfocus captured intrinsic value while boosting profitability. Despite the progress made, the firm is still relatively undervalued with respect to the information technology sector, since the firm’s P/E ratio currently stands at 4.8, with respect to the IT sector P/E ratio of 30.3. Given that Microfocus is trading at a discount, the firm’s Net Asset Value (NAV) will be forced up, enabling investors to derive ample returns on investment, as illustrated from the current dividend yield of 4.52%.

Brief Analysis:

P/E = 4.9, relatively below the IT sector threshold
P/FCF = 14.6, above the IT sector benchmark.
EV/EBITDA = 7.72 higher than last year.
Dividend yield of 4.52%, growing steadily on a yearly basis....

Yield investors have cash coming in all the time to reinvest. I'm just highlighting a yield that looks set to be over 7%. Consensus was for the dividend to rise. Lets see how that changes with debt coming down faster than predicted.

Digital Safe cash was 363.5m so debt reduced 181.5m excluding the sale. (there were also 11.4m IFRS16 leases that dropped off so 192.9m including these)

This should alleviate some of the investor worries that were stoked last year.

The investor relations department at Micro Focus informed me yesterday upon my request that the next half yearly result will be published on 22 June for the six months ended 30 April 2022 - so 3 weeks earlier than usual.
It also confirmed to me that in future no separate trading updates will be published- only half yearly and yearly results.

Am posting this here to be helpful to the board.

I reckon at least one institutional investor has had enough and is voting with their feet

Micro Focus dropped to the bottom of the FTSE 250 after analysts bemoaned a lack of guidance in its latest results. Analysts at Jefferies said there was “limited new financial news” and “no specific guidance for full-year 2022” in the update.

What we need is an activist investor puting pressure on the board to get rid of all the old dead wood, including Murdoch.

Director buys look like very strong statements of confidence. I'm back in today. So long as they can use the FCF to reward investors through this recovery, then patience will have its reward.

The decision by Micro Focus International to sell one of its business divisions to reduce debt proved to be a smart move, for its share price at least. The stock jumped to its highest level since May after software company agreed to sell its archiving and risk-management business to Smarsh, of the United States, for about $375 million.

Stephen Murdoch, the chief executive, said that the decision to sell the portfolio would ensure customers were “better served in the long term” as the archiving and risk-management sectors become more specialised.

Stifel, the investment bank, reiterated its advice to clients to buy the stock. George O’Connor, its analyst, said that reducing debt, which had been a “bugbear” for investors, signalled how Murdoch was delivering on his promise to reconfigure the business and to sell underperforming assets when they were in a better shape, rather than “simply taking low bids”. The rationale behind the deal persuaded investors and Micro Focus’s shares rose 10 per cent to close 36½p higher at almost 400p.

Dr Knowledge, you have kind of highlighted the problem here and is was one of the main things that attracted me to MCRO in the first place.

The thing is that tech investors want growth
Yield investors want yield.

MCRO managed to drive away both of these groups of people.

I can't see any tech investors wanting to invest whilst there is declining sales revenue we are a long way off attracting this group back.

The yield investors could come back now but they are not a quick bunch in general and there are other stocks out there with higher yield and much lower risk.

The goodwill write-downs don't portray huge confidence in the future so the value investors might wait a while whilst things stabilise so they know it is not a value trap.

In the mean time we will have to wait.

Does anyone have an idea of when the next update will be?
Last year there was a debt update but that won't be needed this year.
