Any idea how the Chairman can buy shares when we don't know the number of shares and the pricing for the share issue and he does.

What's the timing and pricing of the rights issue?

I would have thought a $64m EBITDA on $339.2m of revenue was acceptable to Icap?
That's a 18.86% margin.
I would also expect the brutal management style of an Icap to lower costs within Liquidnet and drive block traded revenues.
At $550m that is 8.59 years to return your invetsment.

Sorry I missed them , thank you . I need to stop skimming on Investegate .

Bench2, the liquidnet numbers for 2018, 2019 and 12 months to end June 20 are detailed in the Icap documents?
Is that not good enough, or do you want more.

No dead cat bounce today , no one seems to like this proposed acquisition , we need more info on the profitability and stability at Liquidnet .... but looks oversold at 220p

Could get messy on ex div day :L

Might take 12 to 18 months but real value here after purchase.

Will take a while to get ducks in a row and show improved profits.

Management seem very pro-active, nows the time to buy if your a cash rich company.

"The potential acquisition would be expected to transform TP ICAP's revenue growth profile, with almost half of the enlarged group's revenue coming from higher-growth businesses and the enlarged group's revenue growth profile expected to increase from low single digit to mid-single digit over the medium-term," the group stated.

Liquidnet is a global brand that has over 1,000 signed asset managers as it's client base. The key to Liquidnets success is the integration into the asset managers order tables through its Order Management System that allows a Liquidnet to take all open orders on a passive basis.
Hugely successful model and a steal at an initial $550m...
Great for TP Icap.

Issue seems to be, a few years ago it was all about "voice", paying all that for ICAP's brokers.

Now they are buying electronic in those markets.. to erm put them all out of a job? Plenty of others do electronic well. Its not like its a new idea nor market to move into.

One of the acquisitions was a mistake...

Well it's better to gain back some losses.Or do you prefer to sit on your losses and let them get bigger?Are you the perfect holder who waits till all.be wiped out?Carlillion executives prefer share holders like yourself! All the best

[bscuit] 30/9/2020 15:22

Saved! Tad disingenuous after 41.5 loss on mis-timed purchase and sale - lol

[sick of it] 30/9/2020 14:49

I bought back in at 232p. Saved about 14p as I sold at 246p. Meanwhile made profit on buying and selling mks.I'm staying here for long termThat was a trade

[topvest] 30/9/2020 12:45

They are giving much more that £50m away by cutting the dividend, as the placing will now need doing at a lower price. Rather suspect timing!

[sick of it] 30/9/2020 09:40

What an unstable company!Too bad I ever bought any of it.I've exited at 245.

[salpara111] 30/9/2020 07:45

Market clearly doesn't like the intended acquisition.
Had these on my watchlist for a while but will be taking them off now as there is simply too much uncertainty going forward.

[sick of it] 24/9/2020 13:24

Well it's 271p now so I've bought too early.But I'll stick with in for now.X-divi date next Thursday

[sick of it] 21/9/2020 16:58

Also looking at current September activity, I'm sure the activity has picked up, by quite a lot actually.

[sick of it] 21/9/2020 16:55

They didn't say revenue was materially lower, they said trading activity was materially lower. So that affects broking revenue not data or analytics or institutional services. Did the market misunderstand this a bit?

[sick of it] 21/9/2020 15:15

Bought today at 287.5p. It rose strongly on Friday but got caught in market sell off today. X-divi date is only 10 days away so that should provide some sort of support.

[fuji99] 07/8/2020 11:49

I bought today. IMO far way oversold despite keeping the divi. Who is not "cautious" in the midst of this pandemic ? So IMO, a 11%+ drop is too exaggerated.

[catscats] 07/8/2020 10:24

'materially' lower revenue for start of 2nd half (than 2019)- Hmmm....will wait for this to settle before buying

[bluemango] 07/8/2020 09:26

"Despite the near-term uncertainty, I am confident that our strategic initiatives will deliver sustainable profit growth"

[bluemango] 07/8/2020 09:16

Rise in underlying profit, dividend maintained at same level (in the current times, that's a major positive!)... will read in more depth later but on first glance the negative market reaction, given the current economic environment, seems odd and overdone. Holding tight.
