Not a good update this morning. Consultancy revenues are always lumpy. Data revenue growth in the final quarter is not able to plug the gap. A big drop likely today. Unusual that they were buying back shares so recently, but maybe the projects have only just been cancelled. I suspect they will now opportunistically take up the slack and buy-back shares aggressively, so the shares may recover a bit once that kicks in later on in the day.

Not really gaining any great momentum, revenue wise.

One wonders about similar Ad rating offerings from Kantar and others, will limit ambition here.

Chart looks very positive here.

Got that wrong!!

We should get a trading update soon to report on what is historically their busiest trading period.If the recovery is continuing to plan, we could see this breaking GBP 5 on the back of the buy-back rally and could easily be north of GBP 6 by end of January.

Not sure I would describe the business as 'borderline profitable': and cash flow has always been excellent.Clearly, the agreement with Cannacord on the buyback process took longer than anticipated to put in place, but the delay is negligible really.Buybacks totalling GBP 0.75m is less than I was expecting.

About time the delayed buyback started! Also means trading is going well, otherwise they wouldn't have given the green light?A pity I've now completely sold down my stake, as I'm positioning to not be high multiple growth shares that are borderline profitable atm. And I can't buy back within 30 days for compliance reasons. Had also thought since the share buyback hadn't started in Dec, something was wrong. But that's now been shown as a false assumption on my part...

About 1.4% of the company (at current market cap) targetted to be bought back by end of March. Current average volume per day is about 18K shares over past 3 months.

Interesting to watch price response unless there is some larget holder prepared to spool stock out to satisfy the butyback.

Stefan Barden was brought in to do a specific job in the transition of the business and as it said in the RNS it was not planned for him to be a permanent executive director.

If this goes up any further it would be >25% in less than two weeks. Surely company would have to issue a statement whether there is anything share price moving that isn't public yet.The volume today has just been relentless. Loads of trades at the full ask, picking up small quantities all day.

Looks to me like 'personal circumstances' AdamB. Illness, whatever.

Odd management change? Relatively recent CEO leaving to become an advisor again and former CEO coming back in?

If anyone speaks to the company, would be good if they could try to get an explanation. THe RNS could have done with more of an explanation why...

[miti 1000] 04/1/2022 10:56

Yep thought as much, np.

[boonkoh] 04/1/2022 10:52

Sorry, my bad. Got confused with another share. GS (Goldman Sachs) definitely not building a stake here. Just lots of private interest today.

[boonkoh] 04/1/2022 10:27

Quite a bit of trading volume already so far today. Don't know if it's the Stocko NAP inclusion, or GS continuing to build their stake. Very bullish they had kept buying at the end of last week despite strongly rising prices.

[p1nkfish] 04/1/2022 09:54

Well, pleased to see. Onwards and GLA.

[boonkoh] 04/1/2022 08:53

Indeed. The rise so far has been on listed buying volumes, with more interest this share will pop.Wondering if there's a bit of insider trading going on. The sustained rise has been very strong with trades often at the full bid price. Are SYS1 on the cusp of announcing a profit upgrade...

[topvest] 03/1/2022 14:20

Good to see that this is the NAPS 2022 Stockopedia portfolio. Should possibly push this up tomorrow.

[boonkoh] 23/12/2021 23:47

Wasn't the buyback meant to start in Dec? Only a few more days left ?

[longshanks] 23/12/2021 18:03

Certainly looks very strong. Not sure where the company is going to source the shares for the buy back though: the market liquidity is not helping. Perhaps JK will offload a few that he will in turn reacquire when his options vest.

[boonkoh] 23/12/2021 14:19

Poised for a bit of a breakout to 400p+. The fact that it's risen nicely and consistently this week on low volumes is encouraging.

[boonkoh] 07/12/2021 08:21

Share buybacks starting imminently, now we're in December. Will rocket the share price given the low liquidity here. Expect a few percentage points boost with their first RNS on buybacks.

[boonkoh] 30/11/2021 12:52

Quite a chunk bit of shares traded just now. Highest volume in a while, at 320p.
