Positive update today |
It’s been a long wait but let’s hope TheMarket likes it when relisted on 26/9 |
The anticipated reverse takeover announced today -shares suspended ,placing & large fund raise .When re listed it will be interested to see how The Market rates the new Siv ,whose name will no doubt change in due course |
Interesting shell company & curious to see what happens next |
Reaction was muted in the first 1/2 hour and then it soured.....
Lots of marketing buzzwords in the presentation but overall the co is in a better position than it was with print in the stable
I'll be watching to add with any luck |
Dividend held, covered 5.2x by adjusted eps, but no dividend strategy has been announced. That is a bit of a mistake in my view... shareholders want to know things like that. |
Market reaction muted? We are down 8%, that is pretty disappointing.
Started to read some of the strategy update, and it makes sense (which is a bit worrying, usually marketing speak is incomprehensible to me). But I cannot say I like the new name. Hopefully I am in a minority... |
The results show positive signals: debt halved, pension in surplus, restructuring of the business, strategy focussed and costs pared.
It's now a very lean organisation but as the top man admits, a small player in a big arena. Going forward I suppose the share price will be very sensitive to contract wins as initial market reaction is fairly muted this morning. |
So at what time can we expect results to be published? |
KCT’s relationship with Amazon can only be positive! |
Some advertisers are moving half of their search budget from Google to Amazon: ad industry sources. |
Agree, results out on Tuesday |
I agree its pointless. |
This discussion gone on long enough, you lot can focus on the past, I’m more interested in next week! |
Not having a name change worked for WPP. |
Edmund, the name matters in so far as to reflect the operations of the business, St Ives was a printing business, Kin and Carta is a digital media company! |
Dont' disagree with changing the name. But if the name doesn't matter why change it? If it does, why change it to a name with such a plethora of uncomfortable anagrams? A rank ad antic?! |
I agree Bookbroker. Worst is a markdown on a name change which can't be any worse than the old one
Roll on the results to put all thi in perspective |
Just been reading about J Schwan and Solstice. SIV could well be massively undervalued with this guy at the helm.

Can't claim credit for this, but....Kin and Carta anagram = A Rancid Tank |
Maybe, but who are we to judge, the markdown is simply ridiculous, thought it was the trading performance that mattered more importantly rather than the actual name, I’m clearly out of touch! |
Daft new name. Grabs you so effectively the name had to be explained so we @got it@. This from a marketing company! What's in a name though? Well, about 4% of the company's share capital on today's performance... :-( |
