Nexxen Share Discussion Threads

[takeiteasy] 29/2/2024 15:05

given the caliber of the entities involved. indeed....

One of the entities may claim to have enormous skills in product design, team management, IT strategy and financing skills, but has singularly failed in practice in terms of a controlled growth of the enterprise in terms of the financial results.

Yes, we want to believe the hype and hoopla on these conference calls - patience is wearing thin - but I am young enough to have time that they develop these skills and learn to deliver effectively :)

Imvho if their forecast for 2024 is lower than 2023 revenue we will be back to the lows ...I hope I am wrong - but have my safety jacket on just in case...dyor etc

There are significant developments that demand attention and consideration. The buyback of shares alone has removed a substantial number from circulation, raising questions about their origin, especially since they don't appear to be from major holders who should be transparent about such transactions. The sheer volume over several months suggests that retail investors may not be the primary source.

Additionally, recent news adds layers to the complexity. Regardless of personal opinions about certain individuals, it is hard to deny the value brought by the cessation of litigation. While the exact monetary value remains unknown, it is crucial in reducing speculation, fear, and the overall costs associated with legal proceedings.

The commercial strategic collaboration is another aspect that merits recognition. The involvement of major entities like Alphonso and LG, both multi-billion dollar corporations, signals potential for significant outcomes. Dismissing the collaboration and litigation settlement as having no value seems counterintuitive, given the caliber of the entities involved.

The market's lack of transparency raises concerns, prompting speculation about potential bending of rules and regulations. The observed changes suggest that something significant is occurring, and without clearer information, there is a growing sense that market dynamics might be undergoing unconventional shifts.

There is not a person alive that can convince me that the share price should be where it was prior to yesterdays news.

I understand your sentiments, Ragos, and can relate to being a long-time investor with experiences that, while challenging, could have been worse. Like you, I've navigated the highs and lows, currently facing a 56% loss with NEXN, though it could have been more severe. The journey has been marked by moments of enthusiasm, often spurred by well-articulated posts, only to be followed by disappointment. Reflecting on the past, there were opportunities to sell and cut losses, a decision some might advocate, but I chose to hold on, fueled by hope rather than sound investment principles.

Despite the lingering doubts, I continued to invest over the years. Recently, I added more shares, even at what may have been the peak price of £2.17 yesterday. My conviction in the NEXN story persists, especially considering the puzzling and sustained share buyback program over the months. The origin of these additional shares remains unexplained, given the absence of adjustments in major shareholdings and the unlikelihood of retail investors providing such quantities. While avoiding accusations of wrongdoing, the discrepancy raises questions.

However, my optimism gains substance from the Alphonso/LG deal. I believe this partnership will be the catalyst for positive change. It's not just about Ofer; my investment is anchored in the technology and the evolving commercial strategic partnership. While anticipating lackluster results that may not immediately ignite enthusiasm, my confidence lies in the future outlook. The Alphonso/LG deal, I believe, will serve as a transformative force, not only for NEXN but also for the entities involved. This conviction aligns with the interests of significant investors, reinforcing my decision to ride alongside them in the hope that substantial profits will be realized. The upcoming results might not be groundbreaking, but the promising outlook is what I believe will propel NEXN to the next level.

Only Ofer will know what it is in the results - let's hope they are fantastic but several recent releases have been followed by a precipitous drop with huge costs to the SIPP value and not fun to be a holder.

Hypothetically, if he does not have much excitement to report, then the last thing he wants is to hype the share price just beforehand and bring in a load of new holders from the most recent release to drop them all back down a week or so later if the results fail to excite.

If the results dazzle then all this is just me being cautious - but the last few years have not been fun here at all...he simply has to show some form of decent growth forecast in 2024 to avoid falling back from here imvho...dyor etc

[ragos] 29/2/2024 08:42

Whites,
No one is disputing that the resolution of the suit by agreeing a settlement is great whatever the financials.

Small pis like us don't get to know very much, which the large holders are privy to.

I have said many, many times that I wonder why they are hanging on like grim death.

This is the only consideration that stopped me getting out at 8£ as tosca was said to be touting for £12. Neither of us came out well.

We have been talking POTENTIAL since 2004. Twenty years on and a new bunch of pis are still on about potential.
l
One thing I am absolutely certain of is that I won't be around to see it, unless it is soon.

Hope you realise your potential!

The community on this forum is impressive, with diverse perspectives even from those holding contrary views. Unlike many forums, it maintains a respectful atmosphere without descending into a playground of one-liners. However, a prevalent scepticism seems rooted in dissatisfaction with Ofer and his bonuses. While some may hold this view, it's essential to note that major stakeholders, with substantial investments, seem content.

These significant stakeholders, who hold much more at stake than the average investor, haven't taken steps to oust Ofer. Their satisfaction indicates a level of confidence. Addressing scepticism surrounding the litigation deal, it's crucial to recognize the necessity of non-disclosure agreements (NDA). The positive aspect to celebrate is the resolution of the litigation, turning away from a potential negative outcome with NEXN and instead forming partnerships with billion-dollar powerhouses like Alphonso/LG.

The concern that Ofer might be walking into another trap is countered by the assumption that he has legal experts who meticulously crafted the deal. The litigation was a known drain, and while there was a consensus that NEXN had a strong case, legal uncertainties always exist. With the litigation now concluded, the company becomes more attractive, especially considering reports of takeover interest in NEXN.

Anticipating upcoming financial results may not yield mind-blowing outcomes, but the focus should be on the future outlook. The partnership formed holds the potential for significant revenue generation. While some holders may remain sceptical due to distrust in Ofer, there are others, including major investors controlling multimillion-pound investments, who express confidence. The decision to support NEXN with continued investment reflects a positive outlook, emphasising the potential benefits of the recent developments.

takeiteasy the price shot up 8% initially when I wrote but later on collapsed and ended slightly down. Must have been something in the conference call that caused the fall since the results were well ahead of consensus.

Magnite stock.price soaring after hours

[amt] 28/2/2024 21:18

Magnite strong Q4 beating guidance.
Strong 2024
We delivered a strong fourth quarter with CTV and DV+ revenue both exceeding the high end of our guidance ranges. We are even more encouraged to see improving top line trends to start 2024, particularly in CTV” said Michael G. Barrett, President and CEO of Magnite

[digitalis] 28/2/2024 20:37

Lol….I couldn’t have written it better myself so9…..we do know whits don’t come easily to over paid ceo,s that’s why they walked into the Alphonso/lg trap in the first place…..a financially disastrous situation unfolded for the company and was played down this side of the pond even though legal documents stateside indicated it was a huge issue……
Next week’s numbers crucial…..I217;ve hedged my bets by taking that chunk off the table a few weeks ago so for me it’s over to Ofer and the cronies

[severnof9] 28/2/2024 19:51

All litigation ends in compromise or defeat for one party. I'd far prefer certainty over uncertainty. It also prefer transparency over obfuscation.

I am somewhat concerned that we do not know the length of the VIDDA contract and the L&G deal is only for some premium CTV. Each a material uncertainty for me.

We do not know the value of the settlement sum or the timing of payment. I suspect it will be on the drip over the 3 year timescale of the partnership as a set off for an access fee. We are unlikely ever to know unless it is material. My guess is that its not. Otherwise we'd know.

Ofer is more tight lipped than Mossad. Lets hope he has his whit's about him and he's not walking into a trap. However, another 3 years of collecting his bonus will see him alright anyway. My conclusion, he doesn't have shareholders interest at heart!

One Day Sikh One Day !!!

As expected, the court case outcome took years. Still not a good outcome from the court case then.

Reminds of Nano, where the legal case took years, only for an agreement and jointly moving forward.


Obviously, wasn't a clear cut case.

Because of the legal battle, there'll be the lack of trust between them going forward.

brimach,
"written just over three weeks ago on the 19th Oc,t sees no impact from all this legal malarky"
Does it? It can take months for the court outcome to be known.

[barkbooo] 28/2/2024 16:43

Brimach - thanks for your take…..perhaps I am being unduly nervous with this news. Ofer has fallen way short in recent times - he now has a lot of work to turn things round.

Nexxen International Ltd Announces Groundbreaking Partnership with Alphonso Inc and LG Electronics Inc

[takeiteasy] 28/2/2024 15:48

So how do they disclose this payment in the accounting records in the next set of financials - the only way I can see they avoid disclosing separately if they argue the value is not material....

[brimach1] 28/2/2024 15:45

RE your….Why was the cash settlement hidden? Ffs.

I posted some of this a while back.

(1)Generally speaking breach of contract cases, rarely get tried before juries because jury trials are risky in that they are expensive for the looser, they can set a legal precedence, produce higher awards, create permanent public records and thus cause Brand damage and forced accountability, and, very importantly…Jury trials almost always offer the right to appeal.

On the other hand, a negotiated settlement offers certainty, a speeder outcome , less risk, reduced costs, privacy, no public record i.e. protection from all that’s listed in (1) above via an agreed Non Disclosure Agreement visive the case going to Jury where all the dangers in (1) above apply.

There was no certainty that Tremor/Nexxen would have won the level of damages they sought. Better to have the certainty of a negotiated settlement that’s been worked through amicably with the legal teams from both sides, rather than risk a long drawn court case and an appeal that would (most likely) follow a Jury trial. The trade-off may well be a settlement that is less than the original claim (often inflated anyway) and a lack of open transparency in regard to the nitty gritty of the settlement, for outsiders .

[tapa7] 28/2/2024 15:40

I figured that if we received $xxM% and the market is only pricing us up 3%, neglecting the huge boost in our finances, that's the markets fault and probably a heck of an opportunity.

I'll continue to wait for the end of the session to see if the hype continues to fade and then I'll buy a few more last minute before it closes.

[ragos] 28/2/2024 15:28

Let the numbers speak.....
There are no numbers in this mornings RNS.
Market cap has reduced, cash has disappeared, we carry debt with interest to pay,
margin has decreased and we are lossmaking on lower cap.

When the numbers change, I'll change as well.

that's me done........enjoy the ride.

Despite the prevailing negativity, much of it centered around trust issues with Ofer, it's essential to recognize that investment decisions are not solely based on CEO trust. Mistakes have occurred to the detriment of shareholders, but large institutional holders have maintained their confidence throughout. Takeover rumors, primarily from Sky News, and an extensive share buyback program have had minimal impact on shareholders.

The prolonged litigation, coupled with discussions of substantial settlements ranging from 50 to 250 million, reflects the resilience of damaged investors. Despite the lack of support for the CEO, it's worth noting that if major stakeholders truly wanted change, it likely would have occurred. Now, with the conclusion of litigation and the announcement of a "commercial strategic partnership," it's crucial to look beyond scepticism.

While retail holders may lack detailed information, the partnership with Alphonso/LG, both billion-dollar companies, suggests mutual benefits. Being part of a venture where everyone gains is preferable to merely being on the sidelines. Addressing the undisclosed settlement figure, it's important to appreciate the role of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Drawing from personal experience, recent settlements may not be immediately apparent, as confidentiality is paramount.

Ofer's capabilities should not be underestimated, despite portrayals suggesting otherwise. Press attention may be imminent, especially if NEXN was a takeover target, allowing potential buyers access to due diligence details. Instead of dwelling on perceived negativity, now is a time to celebrate positive outcomes. The conclusion of litigation enables a renewed focus on the company, unburdened by legal distractions. It's a favorable result, and supporting the company through increased investment is a more constructive approach than lamenting incomplete information.
