Down 40% ouch!

[losses] 19/3/2018 08:09

Wow profit decline of 6-9%... does this equate to nearly 50% is share price...Added more this morning...

[losses] 19/3/2018 07:42

Are you still holding these?

[highlands] 19/3/2018 07:36

Profit warning? Will get a further hammering today!

[losses] 19/3/2018 07:27

Are we going further down before stabilising and moving back up or is this news good and will start to move north?

As a consequence of the factors set out above, for the six-month period ending 30 April 2018 the Group expects revenues to decline on a constant currency basis at minus 9% to minus 12% compared with the proforma comparable prior period and DSOs to remain at a temporarily elevated level.As a result of better progress on the cost reduction program than anticipated, management believe that, at the midpoint of the revenue guidance range, the cost reductions will enable the company to achieve Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage of approximately 37% in the 12 months to 31 October 2018Despite the integration challenges, the Board believes that the fundamental thesis of the HPE software acquisition remains intact. Micro Focus' strategy, dividend policy, leverage target, and Return of Value approach remain unchanged.

As said a while back Hsu was a liability and is now gone.
Can the proper MCRO management now recover the situation?

[montyhedge] 17/3/2018 03:41

Looking at a chart, if 1850p broken could the next level be 1550p.

IT seems the US holders are still bailing out. Since they were mostly the share holders in HPE software do they know something we don't?

[fizzypop] 16/3/2018 16:10

Second bounce in off the bottom at 1889p.
Just watching.

[silverfern] 16/3/2018 15:37

Well I'll watch and like I said re-invest when the trend turns, but what it will take to make happen will imo now be hard business results.

Take heart any down-beaten shareholders and weather the storm - I've seen several similarly trashed shares recover signficantly more than 10% in a mere day or two recently - GFRD, GVC and PFC for instance. Seems to be that the shorts are going way overboard lately.

[montyhedge] 15/3/2018 19:28

Just my opinion. When the last set of figures came out I was very disappointed.Needs a positive rns to get back on track.

[losses] 15/3/2018 18:33

Anything is possible but don't pretend you know that because you don't... you just like plucking figure from the air.

[montyhedge] 15/3/2018 08:19

1825p my target now.

[losses] 15/3/2018 07:02

Yeah you keep saying...You was a buyer at 26 and now a seller st

[montyhedge] 15/3/2018 05:08

Problem is p.e very high.Just hope they can turn things around on the acquisition.

[losses] 13/3/2018 07:54

Who you calling a troll?

[woodhawk] 13/3/2018 07:46

I see the trolls are out early today. If you were actually any good at this, you wouldn't have the need to post such vacuous drivel. Grow up.

[losses] 13/3/2018 07:25

But gut feeling is we have another month or so before that happens.

[losses] 13/3/2018 07:24

It will be a lot worse than 1925 buddy if the maker corrects... wouldn't surprise me if it went 1000 in a bear market.

[montyhedge] 13/3/2018 02:03

Just keeping above the 2000p support level, still very high p.e. I really think 1925p if the market falls.

[woodhawk] 09/3/2018 21:41

I do call it wrong sometimes - just like everyone else. However, I've just analysed my trades (approx 1000) over the past 3 years and I find that 88% were profitable. Maybe this will be one of the 12% - but it seems the odds are in my favour.

PS I had a look at WATR - not for me. Gave up dodgy microcaps with no liquidity long ago.

[silverfern] 09/3/2018 15:12

Woodhawk I'm sure you never call it wrong. I had bought more WATR on a T+5 and needed to free up funds, a prescient move it turns out. When the trend in selling MCRO reverses I might be back in. You might want to give WATR a look over while it's still undervalued.
