Posted at 22/4/2024 14:56 by wallywoo Not much though compared with the 1000's of posts on this loss making, HUGE wealth destroying investment of S4. Over a long period over 2 /3 years. You beat Nige and tongosti for the length of time flogging this dead horse.Tell us auson, are you just stupid or perhaps a learning disability? Why the interest in a share that has lost 98% of shareholders wealth in that time?? It's almost like a badge of honour with you "this share has lost investors millions and I have been posting its going up all that time ". LOL! |
Posted at 17/4/2024 19:09 by mister md Lol @ recent posts here. Obvious to see who are traders and who are longer term investors. No problem with the traders although I don't envy them glued to their screens all day.I notice even Mr wallywoo does expect this to recover, over time ! ' wallywoo - 16 Apr 2024 - 12:37:11 - 10400 This will recover in the medium term. But it won't be quick. Massive amounts of debt, and a poor business outlook will make recovery look like paint drying.' --- Time to sit back & relax - more important things to be doing in the meantime ... GLA. |
Posted at 11/4/2024 10:43 by mirabeau Citi has flagged S4 CapitalSCPPF as a high-risk yet potentially rewarding investment opportunity. What Happened: Despite the recent challenges faced by S4 Capital, a UK-based digital advertising and marketing services company, Citi analysts believe that the stock could witness a significant upside of 280%, setting a price target of 230 pence, reported CNBC. The company, founded by advertising industry veteran Martin Sorrell, saw a 25% drop in core earnings in 2023 due to reduced tech-heavy client spending and a slowdown in new business wins. However, the company’s shares have rebounded, rising nearly 15% this year, following a 60% decline over the past 12 months. While the outlook for 2024 remains cautious, Citi analysts see potential for a medium-term business rebound. They suggest that once the tech sector stabilizes and project-based work increases, S4 Capital will be well-positioned to re-accelerate. Citi recommends that investors who can afford to take a 12-month view consider the stock’s risk-reward profile, which they believe continues to look “attractive.&# |
Posted at 10/4/2024 15:29 by careful A fickle market.Suddenly the market is waking up to the fact that inflation and higher interest rates cold be hard to reduce. Older and wiser investors know that inflation at 5% and interest rates at 6% are quite modest by historic standards. We must all be a bit thick to believe that we can all sit at our computers doing nothing useful, pushing money around and getting rich. Immoral, those that work hardest are the poorest. Comes the revolution. |
Posted at 02/4/2024 10:34 by wallywoo Lol, how dare I think S4 will be a terrible investment. It has such a great record 850p ish to 38p in 2.5 years.It's an investors' champion !!! And just think if you had listened to Nige you could of been part of that. Just imagine sitting in that mouldy bedsit, in a cold bath sipping tap water. The riches you could of had!!! |
Posted at 25/3/2024 14:08 by nige co S4 Capital takeover chatter continues“Advertising group S4 Capital jumped nearly 3% after investors cottoned on to it being a takeover target. Martin Sorrell used the vehicle to aggressively buy a series of companies and establish a digital-focused rival to his former employer, WPP. “The buy and build group initially excited the market as the acquisitions flattered its rapid revenue growth. However, S4 then didn’t produce the kind of results investors wanted, so the share price has been drifting for the past few years. The stock was trading well over 800p at its peak in 2021 – now it languishes around 44p. This slump in valuation has left S4 looking vulnerable and it could turn from predator to prey.” |
Posted at 19/3/2024 11:47 by careful Always far too much information and opinion.Still left to the investor to decide. Perfect market theory assumes that every share is correctly priced because it is decided by the consensus opinion of thousands after considering an overload of data and opinion. Contrarians take a cynical view, they buy low and then wait for the market to catch up with reality. Trend following Algo and high frequency traders do not give a damn about the value of a company, care even less about what the company does. They just follow the trend, in fact they create the trend or momentum and make money that way. Prices are meaningless to serious long term investors, merely an entry point. What matters is the true value and profitability of a company. Investing is a long term activity, Buffett is right, modern markets are a casino. |
Posted at 18/3/2024 10:00 by auson1 RackersTheDon,They should; 1, stop buybacks and pay off debt ( Buybacks are much cheaper than paying off debt. As a shareholder I care more about shareprice than debt ) 2) cancel dividend and pay off debt ( there is no dividend, and the plan is to pay off debt, with no more acquisition payments/ staff reduction cost savings ) 3) stop awarding themselves huge free shares with very large salaries to many many staff. I have lost count how many employees have free share options. For what exactly? Losing investors a ton of dosh? ( Share options are almost worthless and no one has lost more paper wealth here than staff especially Sorrell ) 4) announce a plan to stop all acquisitions until company is stable ( They have done exactly this, announced no more acquisitions below shareprice 420 ) |
Posted at 16/3/2024 10:29 by nige co Third Avenue Value Fund Q4 2023 Portfolio Manager CommentaryHowever, the other side of the ledger, where the poor performers reside, was dominated by our investment in S4 Capital (OTCPK:SCPPF), a digital advertising and media company. Our investment in S4 began in 2022 as a contrarian opportunity in a company with several self-inflicted, but resolvable, wounds. It has since evolved into an investment in a company facing the first significant digital advertising downturn since the company’s founding in 2018. The company, which remains in the process of restoring the fullness of its reputation with investors, while now simultaneously facing industry headwinds, has reached valuations we view as confusingly low. We do not view the company to be permanently impaired and, frankly speaking, the severity of cyclical headwinds facing the digital advertising industry today are actually quite mild, in comparison to many other cyclical industries in which we have experience. We are also generally pleased with management’s seriousness of purpose in remedying previous operational shortcomings. Our reaction has been to continue to add to our holdings of S4. We would also note that, as contrarian value investors, we are accustomed to investing in companies, industries, and countries with dark clouds hovering above them at the time of investment, only to see those clouds darken further before finally dissipating. In fact, that pattern describes a number of our most successful long-term investments. We remain optimistic that S4 may one day be described in such a way. |
Posted at 21/11/2023 18:30 by darrin1471 Advertising is a cyclical business. Big international investors will have predictive models to forecast the future using data from across the world. We have no access to to that information. We can only see the change in sentiment through the technicals.In small caps private investors have a better chance and it is worth investing the time to do the research as bigger investors often miss what is obvious. |
