We'll probably have Geoff Foster trawling out his old Google,Adobe etc takeover suggestion.

Bought in this morning.

Is the guy running it unlucky or inept? pretty sure he is sitting on a loss on his stake

Is that the third profit warning? they often come in threes. This will take a real hammering now.

Long term support goes back to £2.00 on a five year chart (low of £1.85), although a 30% fall is harsh, unless Mr Market considers Mgt have been leading them up the garden path..

Yes, I don't expect a good day for this one; very heavy initial fall I would have thought. May be a buying opportunity for a punt in a few days time for the brave.

Profit warning to today with the IMS, could be plenty of blood on the streets..

Read the last interim report wasn't pretty

[hedley2] 09/10/2013 15:28

Share price has now halved in 12 months and shows no sign of support, I know the Finance man is on his way, which never goes down well, any other known reasons?

deanowls - Well they have invested a great deal in boosting their sales force so I wouldn't be surprised.I suppose though they are dependent on their big customers who I read were generally making cutbacks.

I think the H1 update is due so any signs of progress and outlook and we should see some movement upwards, however lets hope that there is no further negative news to come out. I had a look through their free translation software and it was very good and quick, with a pick up in economies this should really benefit SDL.

Rally last week seemed to be broker/investor magazine driven.

Should we now expect a weekend tip?

I think the city wants this to go up.

[she-ra] 31/7/2013 15:35

Broker buy recommendation today.Im sure those big buys last week are just a coincidence

[bulltradept] 28/7/2013 15:53

Sort of tipped in the IC this week.

[she-ra] 28/6/2013 18:35

The way this has been bouncing around,even with those two large sells,anyone would think the market had got a whiff of a weekend tip or takeover story.

[deanowls] 19/6/2013 10:36

Its a funny old game Rivaldo, in the time AGK is a buy while SDL is a risky punt and look at the action today, good bounce and I have managed to average down a bit, if they get it right it will be a double your money in 18 months.

[rivaldo] 19/6/2013 10:18

Peel Hunt now say Sell and forecast just 14.28p EPS this year.

I don't know how the share price is holding at these levels - it's either a support operation or the usual bid speculation. Without either of these it's difficult to see the current price being sustained for long imho since there's so much downside on a P/E of over 20 for a company which is in the throes of so much turmoil.

hazydays - analysts always say that.Theyve said it after every profit warning.

It always seem to help the big boys exit at a decent price when rumours or brokers suggest a takeover with private investor lemmings helping them do so.

If you see the words, "bid alert" or "the for sale sign has been raised" written by a journalist you know its got further to fall

[she-ra] 18/6/2013 15:47

Every time SDL has a profits warning there are suggestions by brokers and journalists alike that SDL is vulnerable to a takeover.No takeover materialises but I think it does seem to help the big players dump their shares.

Their core business is suffering.Small operations like Alterian aren't going to bring much against big players like IBM.They also overpaid for it.

[silverfern] 18/6/2013 14:57

I agree- prospective p/e on basis of report today way too high at current share price. SAles will take time to become revenue. I understand they have some debt too- paying that off will compete with their dividend policy at these reduced profit levels

[she-ra] 18/6/2013 12:42

Salpara111 - Unless some scribbler makes up a takeover rumour.

[salpara111] 18/6/2013 12:06

From a technical perspective £2 looks like support so I would be inclined to hold until then.
