The bottom ?? Back to mid 90's now ?

[jg88721] 29/3/2017 08:47

agreed Alfie. Kendo just likes to spout - facts and evidence are unnecessary, and just get in the way!

Remember too, that the company assured at the last trading update, even after its problems, that: " .... the Group is still well positioned to deliver double-digit revenue growth in the year ending 30 April 2018 albeit from a lower base in 2017 ...". Hardly a failing business model ... without them Kendo, just how do you think the piles are to be driven, etc

`business model`
a plan for the successful operation of a business, identifying sources of revenue, the intended customer base, products, and details of financing.

Ken I can`t go along with your description of what you think is happening here. Fortunately it`s not as simple as that. Confidence has taken a knock. You know the reasons but it`s way too early to call Van Elle a `failing business model` imo.

[alamaison5] 29/3/2017 07:36

Nope, because it's rising. To big to fall. 32 years trading...
Contract in the pipeline etc...See the buying pressure, 10,000 here, 10,000 there?
90p next stop.

[kendonagasaki] 29/3/2017 06:38

Failing business model imo.Best to be avoided!lower to fall here.

[alamaison5] 29/3/2017 05:25

Still, 31% drop, from 120p, is overdone.
It should stabilise around 90p then with a new contract or two 100p.
Let see what's next...

Opodio, no the CEO didn't just quit, and they're not rudderless. Fenton remains CEO and a significant shareholder. The founder and non-exec chair resigned after the float, as did his a bloke I think is his son-in-law. His coy secretary tasks go to CFO, and other exec mgmt. team pick up his other responsibilities. He wasn't a long standing member of mgmt. team.

Charlieg, it was not just a 5 % t/o drop, and lower margins, they also signalled that in addition to later starts on contracts this year, that there is greater uncertainty and less visibility on contracts for next year. We've also had the resignations noted in my first para, and some new contingent liability but too vague a disclosure to quantify impact. All this from a company which only floated very recently - and presented itself as well managed, and well placed for growth. some real questions on mgmt. credibility. Restoring its reputation, and share price rating will take some time, IMHO.

[opodio] 28/3/2017 18:24

CEO quit didn't he? Rudderless

Nuff said

[opodio] 28/3/2017 18:22

Shares are Going sub terranian

Don't trust the management 50p for me

[charlieg11] 28/3/2017 17:25

Difficult to believe that announcing a 5% drop in full year t/o can have such an effect on the share value. In a specialist construction market with the uncertainty of BREXIT at the beginning of their FY and the distraction of an IPO to boot, a double digit growth is still a decent performance. With likely double digit Y/E profits, my guess is that they are guilty of issuing overly negative reports diluting some of the positive aspects. Just saying.

[alamaison5] 28/3/2017 11:47

Worth reading? I leave you to decide...


As the bid is increasing without any particular reason I can only guess that we have someone buying in the background.

[alamaison5] 28/3/2017 11:00

83p on the the real bid.
84p on the ask.

80.50 was the bottom.

[alamaison5] 28/3/2017 10:57

VANL: I can see, from the chart that a recovery to 100p is underway.

Gorilla:
In any case scenario a fall from 120p to 83p for a 5% decline in revenue is exaggerated, lol.

L2: Looking appetising!

Big sellers around. Eventually they will be exhausted, but maybe not yet.

[gorilla36] 28/3/2017 09:33

Alamaison5 - "Fall overdone. Should recover fast...". Perhaps! Would you care to share your thoughts on why you are optimistic?

[esther1975] 28/3/2017 09:00

It's looking rather tempting but level 2 would suggest otherwise

[alamaison5] 28/3/2017 08:59

In at just under 83p. Fall overdone. Should recover fast...

[mrmark01] 24/3/2017 14:55

NT sold out at a loss.

[kendonagasaki] 23/3/2017 12:40

Been short since £1.25.Do not belive the hype.This has futher to fall, the business model is not working.The figures show it and the management have shown themselves to be very weak.

[alfieduncan] 23/3/2017 11:04

Yes you`re right. Best not to engage

[redartbmud] 23/3/2017 11:02

alf

I recommend that you filter the trolls.

[alfieduncan] 23/3/2017 10:47

Have you gone short Ken?

[kendonagasaki] 23/3/2017 10:12

This has got 55p written all over it!
