Thanks for the input. I'm still pleased the mumbers are earlier rather than later. I've been around a long time and seen too many late results turn out badly.

[aleman] 08/6/2022 13:19

Having a go at the 200-day again, though interactions in the past have not been especially strong.

[aleman] 08/6/2022 08:15

Two weeks until interim results. They are early this year, often a positive. The shares seem to be rising into them.

There's an interesting squeeze going on with the shares that suggests a jump one way or the other soon. I don't see any particular charting clues as to which way, though. Presumably, results in two weeks will provide sufficent fundamentals news to drive a move. If forecasts are right for the next 3 years - over £1bn debt paid off - then presumably the shares will eventually move upwards as that reduction in debt alone is close to the current market cap.

The 200-day is looking rather flat but shorter averages might be starting to form a bowl? Looks like not a lot is going to happen without news - but that's only 3 weeks away. Are 2 or 3 higher lows and the rise in recent days people speculating on better numbers coming? The high inflation should be helping a little with the debt which is supposed to dip a little in H2 anyway. It looks like sellers in the 350p to 400p area have been nearly mopped up - for now at least. Plus a quiet thread after a big fall and volatility is often a positive sign. Roll on results ....

[aleman] 25/5/2022 11:41

I'm actually hoping we'll see revenue or new revenue predictions come in a little higher than before due to inflationary effects. Higher revenues could take a little of the pressure off debt reduction targets.

[wandsworth1] 25/5/2022 11:35

@aleman - thank you for this! You are correct Micro Focus specific. The only other thing that I am mulling is the wider macro picture… whilst Micro Focus should not be affected by private households tightening their belts if the confidence in the market wanes than all stocks will be affected. Time to stay alert.

[aleman] 25/5/2022 11:31

It has been said that H2 will be key as payments timings mean there should be little debt reduction in H1 but plenty in H2. You might want to make allowance for this in your decision.

[wandsworth1] 25/5/2022 10:44

For me the next update will be absolutely key. If it is good and if I have the feeling the turnaround is happening and I am being rewarded with a decent dividend I will stay the course - maybe realise some profits if it his 460p but mainly stay invested.
If no real progress has been made I will get out.

[danvandan] 24/5/2022 13:44

I doubt the price will last. A mediocre ceo managing decline. Updates here traditionally overstated profitability, choosing some obscure measure that was never aligned with actual profits in the accounts. This wider market seems to be on the verge of a downturn due to inflation costs on businesses and consumer 'cost of living' worries. I could be wrong, but if it gets into the mid 400s I'd be tempted to short.

[aleman] 20/5/2022 10:39

There's been nothing but doom and gloom this week yet the share price is actually up a bit. That's promising.

[planit2] 20/5/2022 10:00

Hopefully the quicker results are down to their new IT system which is also increasing profitability.

[drk1] 18/5/2022 08:09

@wandsworth1 - Thanks. Very strange - almost typical MCRO (as in the no trading updates). That's it boys - keep us waiting and in the dark (as usual).

[wandsworth1] 18/5/2022 06:18

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.

[markbelluk] 17/5/2022 12:57

Thanks guys

[aleman] 17/5/2022 12:28

Last 4 years have all been this week. The previous two years were last week and next week. I think they were all 7am, so an update when the US opens seems unlikely.

[drk1] 17/5/2022 12:23

They always report trading statement in May and CSS investments have been citing the 17th all week as this year's date. Could be wrong, but if so, one is definitely coming (and due) this week!
