£5m placing at 3p. Close yesterday 22p. WTF ?

[panther21] 18/7/2023 08:20

Maybe but AJBell produce their annual report in 8 weeks which is more normal

[harry_david] 17/7/2023 19:02

Panther, auditors are no doubt the problem. Several companies I am holding have delayed their reports due to them. Auditors are currently being chased by everybody and are running scared

Where are the results for year to March 2022? Why does it now take them four months to produce and announce in a financial organisation that must produce monthly accounts?How can you say in April you are going to lose £2m yet still not announce the audited figures. Speaks volumes about culture within.

Panther, take your point, am a shareholder, perhaps too sold on the operational guys who certainly do a good job. They were successful in mining finance and deals but the sector has no market support at all right now. AUM they are just too small.

[panther21] 06/7/2023 14:40

There are some decent people working there but the problem is many years of losses ten years plus of no dividends five rescue rights issues doubling the diluted equity and a complacent board awarding bonuses to ageing executives for truly awful performance . Do they still owe £2m to the IFA vendors still not paid ?After continuing losses how much capital is left to keep trading ? Must be sold quickly at any price to give shareholders any value. What a shame!

Just spoken to a friend who has a million with them. He says several personnel changes recently but service still good. Only question mark is fees but when I asked he could not remember,so could not be that important.

Oceans4, re your comment about AUM, I doubt we will see any material effect of this yet due to restrictive covenants causing a time lag. I expect this will be more evident next year.

[harry_david] 05/7/2023 20:48

You guys have a beef with this firm? I use them a lot, they are one of three I deal through and of the three they are the best operators for both small and medium companies, the big don't matter. It may be a particular individual to some extent but it is also teamwork. Their corporate business recently has been thin on the ground but they are hardly alone in that. The fund management side I have no involvement with, or anywhere else for that matter.

The anticipated y/e results are not expected to be favorable, and shareholders have been informed in advance through the profits warning. The Q1 statement will be crucial as it may reveal the repercussions on Assets Under Management (AUM) following the departure of significant investment managers, who likely took valuable clients with them. I just hope major shareholders take notice and sell the business ASAP. I think we are on the brink of consolidators paying significantly less for stockbroking type businesses, mainly because of higher interest rates. The current management lacks the necessary experience to successfully navigate this situation. Neither do those that are left in mid ranking positions. If you happen to be a competitor to WH Ireland, it would be relatively easy to outperform them in all areas which would be nice for them.

WHI can chase ‘em all they like, they’ve got sod all chance of snaring any of ‘em though. Going from Numis to WHI would be like getting relegated from the Premier League to the Vanarama in one move..!

[chrisdgb] 03/7/2023 09:11

Final results here soon........

[melloteam] 17/5/2023 14:21

Something afoot here -- the usual 50k employee trust buy on Tuesday, then 40k buy on Wednesday, today a few nibblers.. takeover finally coming?

[chrisdgb] 05/5/2023 13:42

Not much stock around........

[harry_david] 28/4/2023 08:25

Must be some opportunities if they chase the Numis client list. That is a merger that will toss out clients all over the place.

[chrisdgb] 03/4/2023 08:11

Needs to be sold, even valuing AUM at 2% gets you £30m......there is value here.

[harry_david] 03/4/2023 06:58

Profits in a broking business should not depend solely on the corporate side, what is the contribution from the dealing desk?

[bookbroker] 03/4/2023 06:29

Another negative statement!

[oceans4] 01/4/2023 08:43

It is rather painful, but I think the end game is zero (unless there's a takeover) and the share price is expensive (which is probably one reason for there not having been a takeover). The company is easily in the bottom tier of its class when it comes to efficiency and it isn't respected. Respect at best is a myth management like to tell themselves and others. The company has achieved very little over the years and the share price reflects this. The opportunity costs over the years have been huge. Based on its historical platform it should probably be the biggest stockbroker in the UK. For example, the business was a significant national execution only stock broker long before any of the current major online brokers even existed. Hargreaves was literally working out of his garage as a one man band IFA.

[harry_david] 31/3/2023 14:45

This price decline is never-ending. Efficient, well respected, these shares are just cheap.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 22/3/2023 21:13

Is it this news?



It may be an expectation that WHI is next.
