The German bank, which reiterated its 'buy' rating on the stock, sees this as proof that recent pressures on trading have been either cyclical or market-related and were now easing, with management expecting FY25 to be a further year of organic constant currency growth.However, unfavourable FX movements were expected to have a significant impact on profits in FY25, leading to a roughly 23% downgrades to Berenberg's earnings forecasts for RWS."Despite this, we note that on our new forecasts RWS trades on just 8.2x FY25 P/E and 4.2x EV/EBITDA, which we think is attractive for a business that now appears to have seen a reversal of fortunes notwithstanding FX, and where today's performance should help assuage investor concerns about AI's impact on the industry," said Berenberg.

Hi Indiestu, I have noticed over my many years of chart watching that there is an irrational tendency for share prices in a state of uncertainty to make and test for support around pound numbers, with £1 being the strongest example. Fingers used to use this also, I believe, as a rule thumb. So I see it as having significant gravitational pull, which isn't necessarily to suggest it will get there, if it can find a parachute. But what is the parachute?
There is no shortage of value around atm, but nevertheless, having been involved before, it's on my watch list.

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

Anyone know anything about Hound Partners who have recently gone short (1.19%) of RWS? Odd timing given the share price decline and KWS bid but it has made me more nervous of opening a position in RMS.

Indie the markets will come off the boil of the AI, especially if the rates are cut. RWS has only seen a painful steady share price decline, the only way is upward, provided sales pick up momentum again

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

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.

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.

 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.

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.
