kaffee - all the best stocks are!!

[kaffee] 27/4/2021 08:02

It's a long way from that 200 DMA though

I think it'll reach £1 before the year-end because institutional investors would be targeting the next dividend.

[zico01] 26/4/2021 23:45

First purchases (bought 2 lots) today after the excellent trading update on Friday. £1 year end target !!!

[capercaillie] 23/4/2021 17:07

What a day! Could tell after the fall back that it would finish in the red.

[jojaken] 23/4/2021 08:28

My point exactly shauney. They would have known this at the time of their last update, a little more than a month ago. If anything January, February and less so March would in all likelihood been the best months for MyNumber by far.

[azaman] 23/4/2021 08:04

Can we relate today's news with previous buys by the director?

[shauney2] 23/4/2021 07:54

Plus or minus they are duty bound to report a change of 10% or more from a previous statement.

Strange time in for an update about the Mynumber system in Japan. They would've been well aware of the positive impact on photo booths in Japan since the last quarter of last year, as I said previously . It's wouldn't have been a surprise for anyone following all things Japanese. The government spent a lot of political capital promoting the scheme, putting in financial incentives in place which are due to run for another 5 months. However, just as the scheme is going off the boil as questions are being asked about privacy and how secure is the information between government departments and commercial contacts, Photome came out with this update. Nice timing. Call me cynical, but somethings up here. Anyway should give a nice pop to the share price over the next week or so.

[azaman] 23/4/2021 07:22

Watch it rise today.

Encouraging update !

Trading Update

In the first 5 months (ended 31 March 2021) of the 2021 financial year the Group performed better than expected, driven by stronger than anticipated trading momentum in Japan due to an increase in applications for the My Number card, the Japanese government's social security and taxation photo identification card scheme. In Japan, the Group's photobooths are equipped to scan the unique My Number card QR code that every Japanese citizen has received, and match the ID photo to the card application. The My Number card scheme, which is not mandatory, was launched in 2015. A government-backed incentive scheme to promote citizen applications was introduced in September 2020 and is due to run until the end of September 2021. Consequently, the Board has revised its expectations for the financial year ending 31 October 2021 and is pleased to announce that it now expects to report revenue of between GBP190 million to £200m (previously 175m)and profit before tax of between £15m to £19m before exceptional items (previously £9m before exceptional items).

Outside of Japan, trading in the period was in line with the Board's expectations. The Group's multi-country restructuring plans to improve profitability are on track to complete at the end of April 2021 and vaccination programmes continue to provide encouragement. Nevertheless, economic uncertainty remains across many of the Group's operating markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in France which is a major contributor to the Group's results, and in Japan and Germany where there is the possibility of a reinforcement of lockdown measures. The Board continues to closely monitor activity across all its end markets and will seek to provide a further update in July 2021 when the Group publishes its interim results.

and then a divorce...

[azaman] 06/4/2021 09:22

and then a merge

[thorpematt] 06/4/2021 09:03

Yeah there's a Serge...and then a surge.

[boonkoh] 01/4/2021 18:51

Eveeytime serge buys, the shares go up. The after a week or two, drift back down.The market can't make up its mind whether the intrinsic value is much lower than current share price, or much higher and to follow Serge.

[knowing] 01/4/2021 16:06

Serge added again. I'll accept an offer at £1

[essentialinvestor] 27/3/2021 17:35

The % though is far from marginal- his entire holding.

How much relevance it has, if any, is debatable.

[masurenguy] 26/3/2021 08:48

I'm sure that happens within many companies from time to time. I've always considered volume insider Buys to be more significant than more marginal insider Sells.

[diku] 26/3/2021 08:38

You mean insiders are also playing the game within their own companies...in and out...

Gibon joined the company early in 2018 and did not buy any shares until April last year. He then bought 300,000 shares in four tranches at an average price of 46.3p. He has now sold them for 64p making a profit of £53,000 in less than 12 months

My own take is what PHTM may need is a really strong COO.

Has B2B laundry ever returned a fraction of the investments in to this area?.

May be a case of too many plates spinning at one time.

Best guess is it will be taken out at some point.
