S4 Capital Share Discussion Threads

I am assuming Q1 Trading Update will be 9th or possibly 16th May with a few days notice given - If we’re lucky.

[nige co] 26/4/2024 16:13

Auson, no I don't believe that S4 reveal that information, all that I would say is that Alphabet is a big client, a "whopper" with at least $20m in revenue per year of which you most probably already know this info.

[hades1] 26/4/2024 14:49

They also have Google/Alphabet as a client.
I believe one problem was the decline in their marketing spend.
That's what we dont know as it's never released by Alphabet

[auson1] 26/4/2024 14:03

Nige Co,

Do you know what percentage of SFOR revenue comes from Google ?

I am half tempted to buy some Googl on the bell

[nige co] 26/4/2024 13:06

Alphabet/Google Pre Market 174.22+18.22(+11.68%)

Alphabet/Google results bodes well for future S4 earnings I would have thought with Alphabet being a S4 client.

kind words auson, thank you pal. No, bt non on my radar. Not a big fan of their business model plus chart looks terrible to me, at this juncture.

FTSE is finally starting to recover after 20 years of underperformance. Today AngloAmerican potential takeover (+11%), Barclays & Unilever both up 4% on results. FTSE shares are great to buy & hold and just wait for recovery. Decent dividends too.
SFOR is a bit of a basket case ! Only purchased some recently (small % of portfolio) for the possibility of longer term performance. Shareprice so erratic it must be a nightmare to trade it. Today good example - sharp sell-off initially, but could end the day in positive territory - I can't be bothered to watch every trade !
But good to see FTSE shares starting to recover and potentially out-perform versus the AI-bubble fuelled US Tech stocks.

[auson1] 25/4/2024 10:14

tongosti,

Your logic and method as always is sound, even if some on here don't like it !

Talking of FTSE is BT Group on your radar ?

[tongosti] 25/4/2024 09:44

I agree re Meta and WPP, worth keeping an eye on. Hard to describe but feel far more positive about UK equity complex than I have felt in years. FTSE 100 broke out last month and is now doing so from a multi year pattern. It has gone largely unnoticed I think. It kept being strong this month when US indices have wobbled. Odds are we should have a meaningful leg up in ftse over the next few weeks and month. If so, sfor should follow suit. This theme is playing on back of my head (ftse+ sfor) as far as uk equities are concerned and hence watching this closely.

[wallywoo] 25/4/2024 09:41

Never mind tongosti. Is that the 5th time in a row you have been stopped out here?


Perhaps it's time you listened to me?


What was it I was saying at 60p? Ah yes that this was just another bounce just like the one in July 23. That business momentum was down and that Q1 results would be terrible.


So another Quarter results day would most likely be another massive share price fall day. Just like it has for over 2 years now. Looking forward to taking my profits then!! This is a simple game when you don't listen to the pretending guru's trying to misdirect pi's!!!

[auson1] 25/4/2024 09:16

Thanks tongosti,

I guess todays reaction to Meta and WPP could be telling as to the next move here.
Got some more at 49p this morning which I will sell soon for a few percent profit if there is one to be had.

[tongosti] 25/4/2024 09:04

Volume yesterday (tentative b/o day from a wedge pattern) was 3x the average of previous three days. It was a key reason I was getting worried once we reversed from 56. Agreed - markets surprise us the whole time that's why we better prepare for all eventualities. Even though I am out at the moment I don't forget the huge accumulation of shares that has taken place this year. Guess I will have to wait for a better opp to jump back on board again. Come on S4 and good luck to all holders.

[tongosti] 25/4/2024 08:46

Indeed pal - I am out. Tough as it is to take I have learned being disciplined the (very) hard way. Watching like a hawk for the next bullish setup. What i find perplexing is FTSE being very strong globally (since from its 21 March b/o) on a relative basis and as such I was expecting a second wind for s4. One day at a time.

[auson1] 25/4/2024 08:38

tongosti,

Will that be you fully out, trailing stop loss hit ?

[ny boy] 25/4/2024 07:11

Awful, lifestyle pish for Sorrell, can't see them surviving.

[bloomberg2] 25/4/2024 05:47

Meta results last night !! Reason sfor dropped !!More tonight so hopefully SFOR will drop back to a better entry level

[careful] 24/4/2024 17:35

Less than 3 million shares traded today.(according to ADVFN)
Low volume big move.
Less than 0.5% of shares.

Hard to understand the price action in markets sometimes.
Not exactly a dash for the door.

[wallywoo] 24/4/2024 16:54

Yep, as expected. This is not behaving like a share on a new uptrend. It is behaving like a share on a small bounce from a long downtrend. Tongosti, nige and Auson knew this too. They just wanted to flog this dead horse as much as possible first (like they have for over 2 years).


Q1 results expected to be terrible. See you at 40p.

Don't forget that S4 have 7 directors earning huge salaries (adding up to roughly £5m per annum). Too much for such a troubled company imho.

[halfpenny] 24/4/2024 16:52

Further falls as Market Correction 10%...

[halfpenny] 24/4/2024 16:51

I did say 50p to be tested.

NOW DOWN TOWARDS 40p soon...take profits before its too late...

[tongosti] 24/4/2024 16:42

trend is still intact according to 25dma and beyond but the shorter 21 day was compromised today (closed below that for first time in more than 4 weeks). Still, my decision to scale out a few more was not necessarily moving average driven as it was the failure to rally from 56 - a key pivot for me as technically that should have been the ideal pivot to help initiate a climb to fresh highs (as opposed to head back down towards the gap you mention).

I agree with you, 50.75 is the line in the sand.

let's see what tomorrow brings pal - one day at a time.

[auson1] 24/4/2024 15:32

tongosti,

Correct todays action not looking good, but wasn't there a gap to be filled around 52.5 ? As long as we stay above 50.75 does that not mean the up trend is still intact ?
