I am completely new on this board, but I don't quite get why some feel so negative or so much pressure to sell at this price..?

A takeover would be great, but if the company just keeps doing what it is doing, this is still an incredible investment below 50p. The company will at the very least earn 7p per year - and that is still a conservative estimate.
If now one growth avenue breaks away it will allow for a higher payout ratio, implying a dividend of at least 5p per year (=17% dividend yield + 2p increasing book value per year). Ravi has since day one been very generous and reliable in terms of paying dividends (of course also for his own sake).

Some people seem to fear that Ravi will make a low-ball offer...? But then what...? I am not forced to sell and am happily holding my 1.5% in the private market. Everytime Rami will take out money, he also needs to pay money to me.

And in the first place, why on earth would the other larger investors sell at 30p...? They might start considering it at 50p+. Their average purchase prices are just too high:
Gresham got in at 65-70p
Chelverton invested at 80-85p
Stuart Hawthorne got in at 50-60p

So, I only see an upside, no downside at 30p. If this actually goes below 25p again, I will double down, which should by itself give the stock a bottom.

Kab - looking at your previous posts it looks like you’re quite the emotional investor. You sold your stock because the share price went down not anything relating to the business, now you are commenting pessimistic comments about the impending doom of a low ball offer.
You no longer own a single share of this company. I can only assume you want feedback if you made the correct choice. I do not know, but what I do know is; you sold your 80p for 50p

kabrams....I tend to agree with you. He was telling us lots of positive sounding words when posting a year ago and that was whilst he was selling down his holding.
That is not good and as I was buying shares at the time and have lost 60% of my investment it does not make me feel I can trust anything they say.

I do not know what happens next but certainly think there is at least 50p per share of risked value in this company. Will Ravi want to share that and possibly more with shareholders or want the whole of the cake for himself and indeed the family members involved.

My guess is a tender offer to take out those who no longer wish to stay and a delist but which will come first? A delist announcement tens to send the shares down so he could then offer far less. Look at what has happened at IBPO and that was a very profitable company.

As an investor these situations make me very frustrated and annoyed as the stockmarket should be for long term dividend paying companies to be around for many years. This company has lost 80% of its value in the few years since listing

I’m sorry to intervene here as I rarely post and especially when I no longer hold.
I’ve taken my losses and moved on but I notice a pattern that’s quite worrisome. When this character Peter arrives on the thread posting how wonderful Orchard funding is performing and how there’s no better company to invest in it seems to correlate with a negative share movement. This happened to me the first time and like the nervous investor I am I sold out, it was a small holding anyway but I’ve continued to follow this stock and it’s happened over and over.
How can you say this is a great company, run by the infallible when the shares have fallen 60% from around 50p when I first invested.
Sorry but I don’t believe the latest post that everything is rosy in the garden when it clearly isn’t. Could it be someone is buying on the lows and ramping while selling on the peaks. This clearly happened in the past.
Everyone can make their own minds up but I feel the need to warn investors after what I’ve seen.
My take is profits will be down this year and maybe next and no dividend will be paid. If you’re a brave soul this maybe for you but for the average Joe I’d say think long and hard before investing on the back of something someone posted on these bulletin boards.

Eezymoney- et al. If you watch the video and time Ravi did on the online forum for investors. You will see and he explains how Orchard invest across, private school fees, golf clubs, bridging loans, mobile homes etc. Plus what the main and secondary businesses are. Can’t remember the show but I am sureCWA1 or Davidosh will remember and post a link?

Yes 20%. Though this money will be re-allocated over the next 6 months into new Private school contracts, more mobile and static homes being funded. Plus more bridging loans to fill this gap. It will take time, but this is a steady eddy share, with growth medium to long term. Not share that will go from 35p, to 65p, then onto 195p and 129p in a short 3-4 years, if this is what investors PI’s want, then this is not the share for them!

Konradpuss...It is all a bit murky though is it not?

These policies are being sold at point of sale with only one insurer option and finance provider so in my view a commission is very likely paid to the dealers to sell those products.

If shopping around they are much cheaper from other providers so the FCA wants to see open competition. Are customers told that commissions are being paid?

I think it is going to be very grey before we get clear sky here. Ravi needs to communicate and regain confidence back from investors. The FCA investigation and implications here must have been known.

ORCH is now yielding almost 10% so what is allowing this to fall rather than investors buying up the stock?

I will throw in the negatives and see if any of you want to add to them and then lets list the positives.

BEAR points.

1. Large dominant family/founder holding so now it is very small in market cap the options are limited. Fear of a delisting maybe?

2. Communication and investor relations have been lacking. No presentations in 2023

3. No research notes out there.

4. Forecasts suggest fall in revenues and profits

5. Investors fear recession and possible headaches for banks and finance providers.

6. The largest external shareholder has been selling. Is there more to come?

7. Investors writing here and shareholders appear frustrated.

Any more? I intend to ask Ravi to provide his answers to these

All - Spoke to Ravi yesterday and he tells me definitely the 26th Jan divis paid. Plus he will be sorting Investor Relations piece and may do another Mello in May? Orchard are doing well!

Why would Ravi not see any benefit in meeting investors at this conference?



If investors have cash and want to pick the bottom and trust management teams before they invest then this is the time to be out there introducing Orchard.
He may pick up some business too.
