The guy won't even talk to his house broker to update forecasts :) . Quite handy that he's a bully though when we're engineering cut price takeovers of struggling companies

The share buybacks last year shows long term confidence by the management. Their strong cash position leaves them well placed to make further acquisitions, which has worked well with TPG and Frontier.

If the stock market underperforms this year because of geopolitical tensions, then there may be other tempting targets, with good businesses seeing their share price drop solely down to market conditions, or a good company being let down by poor management, or a combination of both. SAG have proven they have a good nose for companies with untapped potential and their model of buying large stakes at distressed prices, before an eventual buyout, has proven very successful with TPG and Frontier.

Their main strength is the management. They know how to turnaround businesses and add value. Warren Buffett always says the first thing he looks at when making a purchase is the management. I have learned the hard way that you can have an excellent business but if you have a lot of clueless clowns in charge, it will still be driven into the ground (i.e. Frontier}. That is when well run firms like SAG step in.

This is still a long-term hold for me and I believe at some point a bigger player will see the strengths of this firm, and they will be a takeover target themselves (and at a hefty premium to today's price, IMHO).

PS. Happy Brexit Day!

Between 12th September and to-day the company has repurchased about 260,000 shares in a price range of 400/410 pence at a cost of just over £1 million which is pretty encouraging.

All IMHO and DYOR

You have seen the small cap market the past 18 months or so? SAG has held up pretty well.

This share has never returned to 450p since they bought the disparate parts of TPG, unlike previous takeovers.It wasn't the smartest of moves.

The acquisition of TPG seems to be proving a success but a clearer picture should emerge with the accounts for full year.
On the other hand Frontier Smart Tech is having a more difficult year.
I hope that SAG allows more time to digest TPG before making another acquisition but there must be many quoted companies whose share price Mr. Radcliffe now finds attractive.

Science Group plc issued an encouraging AGM trading statement this morning. In the first months of 2023 the Group has traded in line with the Board's expectations, with the services divisions reporting growth, while Frontier continues to experience the impact on the consumer electronics industry from the economic slow-down since mid-2022. Current consensus has FY23 revenues up over 50% to £132m with net profit up over 35% to £14.5m. So a year of robust top and bottom line growth is in store. The integration of TP Group is proceeding satisfactorily, the Group's balance sheet remains healthy with net cash at £19.6m. Valuation is decent if not outright cheap with forward PE ratio at 12.7x, but the share price lacks momentum and has been drifting sideways for nearly 2 years. SAG is certainly a share worth monitoring for the time being, although the share price may need a catalyst to start moving higher...

The recent repurchases now total about 124,000 shares costing about £500,000.
Good news in terms of perhaps putting an informal floor under the share price of around £4/share.

My understanding is that SAG offered 2.25p for the outstanding 72% of TPG shares they didn't already hold.

With 779.2m shares in issue will have cost them around £12.6m - in addition to the £12.5m or so spent earlier buying up the 28%?

Seems £25m is the full cost of acquisition (plus fees etc but minus payments from TPG to SAG for the standby loan facilities)?

I've been buying a few more when I can find some spare cash, will continue to do so whilst the share price remains at these low levels,

cheers

The mkt doesn’t think it will succeed by the looks of it. If they fail to get hold of TPG it would affect Sag share price. Better for them to offer a realistic price now than to mess about?
