Market cap is now around 2 x annual profits.

I appreciate this sector is out of favour but that seems ridiculous.

Surely some billionaire should take this private and milk the profits for many years to come.

These should be £1.50 to £2 imho, that still takes into account the sector and declining market.

Hi Harry,

When you say online is up 14% for the year, are you referring to page views? Could you be more specific?

The latest Q3 update from the company said that digital revenue overall was up 4% y-o-y.

@smicker does letting Desmond know this, improve or weaken his bargaining hand?
Whilst I am underwater and not going to sell, the more I see, the weaker the management of a shrinking business reveals itself to be.

Online growth I see is continuing though the percentage rate is slowing. Up 14% for the year in October, though considering they have 9.5 million viewers every day now, I guess that is to be expected. Mailonline is back to growth of 2%.

It is like reading the cv of the captain of the Titanic.
Adding a member of the box ticking , entitled encumbency is not what TNI needs to prosper.

Interesting research twixxy.

So analysis commissioned by a bunch of TV companies, demonstrated that TV advertising is the most effective of all.

Who'd have thought?

;-)

Indeed, Extrader.

Hi Woodhawk,

So you'd have to use a stooge then? ;-)

Or three...

Hi Woodhawk,

Cute idea ! Unfortunately, I think you'll find it's illegal for a Company to short its own shares.

If you're old enough to remember the Plumber, he was done for something similar IIRC : he was opening large CFD's on his own company to push its price up before selling out.

If TNI have been buying back their own shares, would they have simultaneously shorted the stock in order to maintain a low buying price while they did so? Is that why, the buy-back has had little apparent effect.... so far?

Interesting piece of research:

Research commissioned by Thinkbox, an industry group backed by ITV, Channel 4, Sky and others, found that television advertising generates £4.20 in profit for every £1 spent.

That compares with £2.35 for online video and 84p for online display advertising. Print was the second most efficient advertising medium, adding £2.43 to the bottom line for every £1 spent.

Let's hope enough marketers read and react!

I think my chart is better since it allows you to judge the lows better.

:)

Yours may be good for judging retrospectively when shorts should have been taken, 2007-2009 for instance.

[cityconindex] 15/11/2017 15:17

Guys try not to look at the highs will cause nausea imho this is hopefully where we are heading ....

[freddie ferret] 15/11/2017 14:46

Hope this is a useful chart.

[kazoom] 15/11/2017 14:04

LOL and annual profit of £209m.

That's a (very) Historic PE of 1

The good old days when they spent more on a buyback than the company is worth now...

[gary1966] 15/11/2017 07:18

Share buyback completed. I wonder if they will announce a new one.

[cityconindex] 14/11/2017 21:56

2 small interest rates rises predicted to bring it up to 1 percent and good free cash flow. Why is the range stuck and if the pension deficit is reduced by the hikes are the company free to pay out larger dividends? Cheers

[freddie ferret] 14/11/2017 16:17

Over the last couple of days co buying has dropped back, however £ cost averaging would sugest that they will be picking up more shortly.

[freddie ferret] 14/11/2017 16:15

We are near the 4 year floor now.
If you go back 5 or more years, then there is another floor sub 25p.

[cjohn] 10/11/2017 13:53

Thanks XXX for the clarification.
