Only negative is that it is gambling related when I thought the strategy was to diversify further away from this sector. Still, a good opportunity is still a good opportunity.

[thorpematt] 15/1/2018 10:42

I thought the chart was already looking like a buy point so this is a further kick in the right direction.


For me such acquistions are a nice use of cash. This will enhance forward forecasts without effecting the MC...and therfore lower the PER and PEG ratios. The strength of cash conversion and lack of debt should enable plenty more of similar opportunities to be considered.

One to hold and run for while I think.

one line I picked up there that I liked is:
"
contingent on significant growth in performance of the Acquisition during a period of 6 months"

I love this acquisition of Good Game i know the founders of Good Game very well, this a solid business with a couple of good guys behind it, they have grown a lot in the last 10 months and are a solid affiliate in the Finnish market.

Cool things is this company was built with cash from when Catena bought there previous company.


Great job by the XL media team lets hope for some more cheeky acquisitions like this one.

They make good use of their cash with expanding their asset base, well run company IMO.

A man with a plan........

"We are seeing good opportunities to buy additional assets in our key verticals, and we plan to continue acquiring domains and websites as part of our ongoing growth strategy."

[santangello] 15/1/2018 09:20

................earnings-enhancing acquisition........delicious.

[mount teide] 15/1/2018 08:28

Looks another very good acquisition at an attractive price.

[the juggler] 15/1/2018 08:21

A great RNS but little movement on the news! Either nobody is awake or they are all digesting news regarding Carillion this morning?

[rivaldo] 15/1/2018 07:33

Excellent - a new heavily earnings-enhancing acquisition for €15m from the cash pile, with a minimum €1.25m historic EBITDA:



And perhaps more on the way:

""We are seeing good opportunities to buy additional assets in our key verticals, and we plan to continue acquiring domains and websites as part of our ongoing growth strategy."

[farmergeorge] 12/1/2018 10:08

The Juggler, thanks for that. Does anyone/organisation collect these figures, fron RNS notifications for example, and make them available for all listed companies? If not, I guess one needs to look at each listed company individually.

[farmergeorge] 12/1/2018 09:45

Melf is it possible to obtain a list of institutional holdings in listed companies, i.e. as a percentage of total issued shares, and not just short positions? Thanks.

[melf] 11/1/2018 16:20

There are no disclosed short positions on XLM.

[pazzuzu] 11/1/2018 16:05

I see absolutely no evidence of shorting today whatsoever, hes clearly been smoking something. The fact that it is pretty much all buys today surely tells you nobody is shorting!!!

[nimbo1] 11/1/2018 10:44

why would it be shorters? looks to me like it is people just taking profit while the share forms a new base at a higher level than it has done before. The next move up will surely be on or a bit before a positive trading update assuming of course that is what appears.

[santangello] 11/1/2018 10:21

Shorters with the upperhand at the mo I'm afraid.

[tomstone12] 11/1/2018 10:05

not sure why everyone is expecting a trading update. they put one out in NOV?

[michaeljames1] 10/1/2018 19:18

Believe it's been the 2nd last Tuesday of the month for the last 2 years so probably the 20th, my guess anyway.

[jr patel] 10/1/2018 13:51

23 Jan i think

[pshevlin] 10/1/2018 13:36

When is the next update due? I am sure it is this month.

[nimbo1] 10/1/2018 10:10

hope so, i would be in the market for a few at that price.

[oneillshaun] 10/1/2018 09:59

hold your hats i have a feeling we will end up 190 this week.

[basem1] 10/1/2018 09:43

Is the current PE around 15 anyone ?? Tia
