Not sure if anyone out there is still holders of this stock.

It jumped from 8p to 21p a while ago. No movements for a few days and now all of a sudden up 23%. Most of the trades are buys. I wonder if the MMs know something that we don't. Are there more contracts to come?

Welcome any info or comments

ajren,

This is what the company does. It develops and exploits a portfolio of sports and lifestyles brands, trademarks, trade names, and logos. The Group grants licenses to third parties authorising the manufacture, marketing, and sale of specified licensed products for a fixed term by reference to a particular territory.

Recently it announced the following:

International Brand Licensing Plc ('IBL' or 'the Company')

Thanks ticker,

Soared on Asda deal.I think present huge rise due to Institutional buy having
more confidence in Asda deal.Normally-I think you will agree - the volume
would be 12,000,0000/20,000,000 if News.
Personally,I would avoid the share as there are a huge amount of big International players.

ajren, I don't understand. Surely with lots of 'international players' involve is good for the company.

I've been looking for more info to see if there are any news but found nothing so far. Might give the company a call later.

Players was the wrong word to use about this company..should be:International
competition.
I also found no news

ASDA's inhouse brand was organicly grown to an annual tuenover per annum. If IBL take say 7% of that share in the first year with a gross margin of 7% this would give earnings of 4.9mio pa, say with a PE 10, IBL Mcap could be 49m instead of 5mio currently....


All numbers above are hypothetical, just putting down some of my thoughts

Good to see a rise after the doldrums

sorry to repeat a post on the same company but on a different thread but the other thread didnt have IBL's name in the title:

has anyone been following IBL? the admiral brand seems to be coming back, but is it enough to boost IBL higher? certainly the deal with asda seems to be a good start and their charts looks very interesting. wonder if they could get sales in US wal-marts? any views?
