Nice break out today, although I seem to be talking to myself on this board ?

[bennya] 03/9/2020 13:31

Starting to look very promising

[bennya] 01/9/2020 09:00

Maybe this is the catalyst for a rerate today, onwards and upwards. GLA

STV in my opinion is a very interesting share..

It mirrors ITV from a broadcasting, Advertising and Studios perspective.. It would make a natural fit within the ITV group and with a current market value of approx £100m a very cheap buy to give ITV full UK coverage and the ability to reduce costs by eliminating duplication..

Likewise STV would be a natural purchase by companies such as BT (giving a real TV capability as opposed to just primarily a Sports Channel.. Even Amazon might wish to tip its toe in the water with a bid for STV.

Yes commercial advertising is under the cosh but when the recovery of the economy really starts STV through both its digital and terrestrial capability could be a big winner.. The digital side of STV appears to be really motoring.. likewise the Studios appear to well respected for its output.

What is also interesting is the current major shareholders:-over 63% of the equity held by below...Little free float of the shares and any significant purchase of shares will send the current price significantly higher..

The dividend although currently suspended made STV an attractive stock for income seekers.. Future payments though are under review..

Placing at 230p in June so could be a good entry point, looks like they making some positive moves

[bennya] 24/8/2020 12:36

Quiet around here, STV looks very unloved but starting to flatten out from recent drop, results due 1st Sept so hopefully some good news

[smackeraim] 03/6/2020 13:23

Looks just about ready to go. Fall was way overdone

[smackeraim] 01/6/2020 12:39

Nice new series commission.

[smackeraim] 28/5/2020 08:52

Looking like it wants to go on a run up now. Worth some research while it's this price imo

[smackeraim] 26/5/2020 19:46

Good price for a long hold. Decent business, digital side growing fast. Divi when comes back is great at this price, lockdown probably pushed streaming numbers through the roof imo.. this will be above £3.50 this year

[sphere25] 10/3/2020 08:39

Nipped in for a few here. Those results and management confidence for the year (despite all the doom and gloom out there) doesn't merit a fall from 450 imo. The digital side is showing decent progress too. Mr Market is providing quite alot of decent value play as well as short term plays now.

Clearly more gyrations to come in the wider market and more time needed for the US to bottom, but fear and panic provides opportunity.

[glasgow13] 28/2/2019 07:43

Results look ok.

[cb7] 01/3/2018 07:55

It has only cost 0.7 million thus far... so not that significant in cost terms and when the company sits on low multiples, then why not?

[capercaillie] 01/3/2018 07:42

I dont like the share buy backs at the expense of increasing debt.

[eyesoc] 02/2/2018 09:40

it appears the company is buying there own shares for cancellation .if you compare stvg to itv it doesnt make sense to be only £3 a share should be more like £6-7 ?

Now down to £3, anyone buying these.

[netcurtains] 01/6/2016 10:33

looking good on a bad day.
Whats up?

[texaspete2] 13/5/2016 21:28

Negative press around ITV re advertising revenues, so naturally affects STV I would say.

[gopher] 13/5/2016 19:01

Dropping on low volume 8.1% today - anybody have any ideas

[thomasthetank1] 27/4/2016 15:23

Read Edison's note on STV GROUP, out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/company/GB00B3CX3644
"STV is on track for a good first half with growth across the board, particularly in digital and production. On a 9.5x FY16e P/E with dividend support, the share offers good value. Furthermore, the valuation of the defined pension deficits will conclude in this quarter, which should clarify STV’s cash commitments for the next three years and may pave the way for special dividends further out ..."

good place to enter this stock.
A historic low point.
And good TV shows now appearing:

Scott & Bailey and Marcella to name just two
