Posted at 12/12/2024 18:01 by indiestu The share price history would indicate otherwise but hell, believe what you like. BB's are only conjecture. The share price never lies. |
Posted at 12/12/2024 11:15 by indiestu The share buyback was announced in June 2023 (close 258). 50 mil had been bought back by February 24 (close 221) and the buyback complete. Business continued to deteriorate and the share price fell to a low of 165 on 23rd April 24 likely due to concern that the balance sheet could not support the dividend. In May 24 the company disposed of Patbase, likely forced by their lender. Net debt was £38.9m at 31 March 2024 HY! The share price rallied on the day of H1 24 results then continued its fall to 133 (sale of Patbase was not in the results but mentioned). So, massive cash nip up in early 2024 caused by deteriorating business conditions and no spare cash after buying shares back. Pretty amateur! Anyhow that's history, debt is now manageable and business appears to have stabilised and showing signs of growth in H2. |
Posted at 12/12/2024 08:13 by indiestu I would have kept the cash on the balance sheet as I would know have known I was going through a difficult trading period. It would now be a a net cash position. Cash is king in a difficult economy. The share buyback was vanity and an attempt to prevent the share price decline. It was extremely amateur and called the managements integrity into question. |
Posted at 12/12/2024 08:07 by alotto What would you have done with the cash instead? There was no debt to repay.At the time of the buyback the share price was considered low enough for the BB to make sense In hindsight it would have been better to wait for the current valuation, but there was no way to tell last year. |
Posted at 01/9/2024 20:47 by alotto Given the share price has been low for long enough, I can see RWS become a takeover target. However the offer price ought to be in the price range of the concluded share buyback, otherwise it won't make much financial sense... And that is a 100% premium |
Posted at 26/6/2024 09:55 by alotto Jeffian I am not advocating for directors to support the share price through share purchases. Directors should buy stocks for their personal financial benefit. If they see an opportunity to achieve significant capital appreciation by buying shares in a company they know well, they should take it.The purchase of £10,000 worth of shares won't significantly improve their financial situation. What is the point of buying such a small amount? It doesn't benefit them meaningfully. Therefore, I consider it nonsensical. If you have confidence that the company has bright prospects, buy and buy big; otherwise, don't take a punt—just trade other shares that you don't have to disclose if you are speculating in the stock market. If a director thinks that buying shares sends a signal to individual or institutional investors, they are mistaken. Buying large amounts of shares to support the share price as an act of desperation is also nonsensical. That will not save the share price in the long run (and often not even in the short term) and may lead to financial self-harm. However, some directors and CEOs often do this |
Posted at 13/6/2024 10:35 by alotto For the cash to go to those who sell, the share price has to rise. Those who sold didn't sell at a higher price thanks to the buyback, actually the share price plummeted. The dividend increase perhaps is due to the very fact that shares were repurchased. |
Posted at 13/6/2024 09:26 by jeffian When a company decides it has 'surplus' cash to distribute to shareholders it can either pay a special dividend or make a return of capital, either of which put the money equally into the hands of all shareholders. The current fashion of "returning money to shareholders" is to repurchase shares in the market, which gives all the available cash to those who sell and none to those who continue to hold. The argument is that with less shares in issue, the remaining shareholders benefit from increased Earnings Per Share and Net Asset Value which, theoretically, should result in an increased share price. Except it often doesn't. (In)famously, when Whitbread sold Costa Coffee it "returned" £2bn to shareholders - equivalent to around £12.50/share from memory - which could have been paid out via div/cap payment to all but only went to those who sold. The share price then was over £50; the share price today is around £30 (having been much lower). So how have those shareholders who didn't sell have "cash returned to them". They haven't. |
Posted at 20/5/2023 08:09 by casterd I assume that the RWS share price has plummeted as a result of worries that AI may render their product redundant. Even though it can be thought of as a hurdle for the translation industry, automation is the foundation of RWS's approach. The group's unique machine-learning technology is used by the company's large translator pool to do machine translation post-editing (MTPE). MTPE helps RWS boost profitability and take market share by enhancing translation production and efficiency.Instead of endangering RWS, automation is promoting its long-term growth and resiliency. Thanks to its solid balance sheet, well-covered dividend, and potential for future margin growth, RWS is a dependable income opportunity. |
Posted at 23/3/2022 11:07 by jeffian Well I've just re-read the statement and I'm not sure it says "organic growth has stalled and (y)our business model to grow further is based upon acquisition alone". In fact, organic growth is mentioned quite a lot.One thing that may have spooked the market is the reference to the unified European Patent which in the past has had a big influence on the RWS share price. Obviously, the need to translate all patents into every EU language has been a big element of RWS business and they have been working hard to decrease their reliance on it by globalising. |
