Panmure Gordon Share Discussion Threads

To warrant this share price they would have to be making losses which I don't think is the case.
They say the market is always right but I don't believe that these days and seen it on numerous shares.

Premier Foods for instance!

Philip Tansey’s beneficial holding in the Company’s shares is 24,000 ordinary shares of 4p each, representing 0.15% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital. In addition Mr Tansey has an option over 40,000 shares at an exercise price of 40p held in the Panmure Gordon & Co. plc No 2 Employee Benefit Trust which are currently exercisable and over which he is able to exercise voting rights, which when aggregated with his existing holding represents 0.41% of the Company's ordinary issued share capital.

I think they have reasonable option awards.

Strange how low it is though.

Share price continues its downward slide. Difficult to know where this will end. Is there a large seller in the background drip feeding into the market?

Been looking at director shareholdings. CEO (Phillip Wale) appears to hold just 8500 shares which doesn't show much confidence. FD not a lot better with just 24,000 shares. Do they have generous share award packages in place which means they don't have to put their own capital at risk? Always prefer to see directors' interests aligned with other shareholders.

Also appears to have been no director share purchases since Sept 2012. Directors obviously don't feel that the share price is good value at the current level?

All rather perplexing/worrying in what should be a very good trading year for the company.

Isis,Congrats on PFD, still moving up I see, live and learn!.Apologies for going off topic but not much happening here.....yet!.DD

[isis] 10/11/2014 17:45

I doubt the Companies that Panmure are Broker to have been too much affected by the recent market malaise so fingers crossed.
Seems most of the delayed IPO's will be back on soon in anycase.

[salpara111] 10/11/2014 15:28

Have we finally seen the bottom?
If so, I guess the question is....what will it take to get it moving back up again.

[speedsgh] 07/11/2014 10:53

Announced by Filtronic (FTC) today...

Placing to raise £2.1 million -

PMR are Nominated Adviser/Broker + acting solely on the placing.

Panmure Gordon leads IPO for Nektan plc

Panmure Gordon & Co, a leading independent institutional stockbroker and investment bank, is pleased to advise that it has acted as Nominated Adviser and sole Broker on the IPO of Nektan plc (NKTN.L) raising £4.1m.

Nektan plc ("Nektan" or "the Group"), an international B2B mobile gaming platform provider was today successfully floated on the London Stock Exchange's AIM market following a successful placing by Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited, raising GBP4.1million via a placing. The Group will use the net proceeds to expand the Group's sales, business development and product development; provide sufficient working capital to support the operation of the 'Evolve' platform and mobile gaming channels; and provide headroom for further investment in product development to expand its mobile gaming site.

On joining AIM, Gary Shaw, Executive Chairman of Nektan, commented: "We are delighted with the investor response to the Placing which recognises Nektan's wholly owned technology platform and B2B growth opportunities in the US and in Europe for mobile gaming. Admission to AIM is a significant milestone in Nektan's development, and will assist in enhancing the Group's credibility within commercial discussions. The funds raised will in part be used to expand Nektan's mobile gaming suite and the Group is now well positioned to capture significant growth opportunities in the fastest growing segment in gaming."

..............and they go down..................

[isis] 03/11/2014 13:51

The AIM ones seem to be going ahead as scheduled.

The larger ones have been delayed or pulled but we'll probably see them next year.

[speedsgh] 03/11/2014 13:13

Nektan (NKTN) admitted to AIM today. Raised £4.1m before expenses. PMR acting as Nominated Adviser + Broker.

[isis] 30/10/2014 16:11

Seems all the AIM floats are going ahead.

DOW nearly back to it's high again - FTSE looks a bit sick in comparison, it appears the problems in the EU seem to be the cause.

[spooky] 30/10/2014 15:55

Why have the directors not been buying shares?

[salpara111] 30/10/2014 09:02

Is that finally the bottom?
Nervous as I fully expect the next market update to be negative sounding but just feel there is not much scope for it to fall further....or can it?

[discodave4] 24/10/2014 20:54

Isis,Apologies all for off topic - well done on PFD, did not expect it to kick up today after yesterday's tanking, thought it would fall again back to about 27p......hope you've taken some profit! (or closed).DD

[isis] 23/10/2014 13:08

Some or most of the large Floats have been postponed until the market settles down but Panmure's tend to be more niche market offerings so hopefully they will still float.

[salpara111] 23/10/2014 12:57

Is it really heading back to 100p again?
As posters above have mentioned PMR has massively underperformed CKNS and WHI over any period you choose to look at in the last 3 years so it is not sector related.
Normally I would sell any stock that was relentlessly dropping but I am sticking here as I believe in the fundamentals of the company.

[discodave4] 22/10/2014 19:16

Ignore post 782 lol.........just checked and CNKS up 2% and WHI up 7% today!.....c'mon PMR.DD

[discodave4] 22/10/2014 12:16

Sal,Once the market has settled IPO's will be in favour again.....I hope!.CNKS & WHI have also been drifting. DD

[salpara111] 22/10/2014 11:47

Pretty grim, I would hate to imagine where the share price would be if the results had not been good!
All the chatter in the financial press today is about cancelled floats so I guess that is really hitting sentiment.

[discodave4] 21/10/2014 14:08

Isis,Held PFD for two years.......roller coaster share, as said before, be interesting to see what the share price ends up on Thurs. All the best though.Needs similar rises here!.DD

[isis] 21/10/2014 09:52

DD - I only put up what's in the Public domain.

Premier up 30% since yesterday!

I think there's a lot of undervalued shares at the moment including these.

[speedsgh] 21/10/2014 09:50

Panmure are Nomad + broker for Immupharma (IMM) who have announced a small £3.4m placing today -

Every little helps, I suppose.
