Interesting post taking from ADVFN with all due respect to them and STEVE.
it makes good reading, besides this is my favorite share for 2008
CyprusSteve - 14 Jan'08 - 09:15 - 131 of 135
This is an interesting little share. May I please offer my views for what they are worth.
The Company was first launched on the AIM on 13-02-06 at 8p, and, it has never subsequently traded to that level, and in fact has fallen to its current low of 2p, despite some significant rises and falls in between.
The latest forecast from the Company was for an operating loss of 500k for the full year, as in the RNS of 07-11-07 hardly encouraging !!
The Company usually issues a trading update before year end financial results due in late March, so, I would hope for a trading update later this month if previous patterns are followed, and maybe a series of other announcements resulting from their developments last year.
So the key question is, what cause is there for optimism ?
The CEO, Paul Simons, increased his own personal shareholding to the value of 21.7% of the Company on 08-12-06. This in itself demonstrates massive faith in the Company future , not to say financial commitment, to delivering profits and shareholder value.
The reasons this share interests me is mainly due to the quality of their management - Paul Simons has an excellent track record in the industry, and is highly regarded he has built around him a management team of high quality. There is little doubt that during the last year they have heavily invested in bringing new management on board not only is this an expensive exercise in itself, but, also, it takes time for that management team to develop new and profitable business for Cagney effectively, the management team are an investment in the future.
Cagney has also been developing new brands and concepts again these take time and money before the financial results begin to come through the Trading Statement RNS of 07-11-07 offers an excellent summary of the various plans and projects undertaken this year, which are scheduled to deliver profit in 2008 it is well worth a detailed read.
The problem is, as always, with any media/ PR company, is that they are totally reliant upon concepts, and not on product production. Profits are potentially excellent, as there are no manufacturing costs, but, management costs are high, especially in the early years until this translates into new business.
What also impresses me greatly is the quality of their clients Companies such as Budweiser, Alliance Trust , Sacla, First Choice Plc and Silver Spoon do not sign with up any Company that they did not have considerable faith in, and for them to decide to go with such a small Company as Cagney makes huge statement about the Companys quality, I think.
At the end of the day, the decision investors have to make , is whether Cagney can deliver profits on their strategy, or, whether it is all blue skies and promises.
It is my view that they will deliver in 2008 , and, as always, we invest in the future. At the current price of 2p I think they offer a speculative, but potentially very high benefit, investment opportunity.
Regards
Steve

Since mentioning this great little company here it doubled and fell back a touch.
However with results due the end of this month I expect further progress with the SP.

A 50,000 sell sell the offer down to 2.75. This has to be one of the best buys on the AIM now..

Still plugging as this is one the market has not yet picked up on. Media sector motoring well and with results due 31st March expect to see soom upward movement.
These are turbulent times and this is the only one I that I am holding right now and there is still not a lot about it on the BBs. But you can expect a SP build up towards results. Definately one for the pension fund, but I am a buy to holder person and not a trader.

One of the few not to go red today, which makes me think that the quality is beginning to show through and that we are on the bottom with only one way to go from here

Seeing as I am the only one posting there on Cagney, went off and found this on another BB and as its say as the header there------- Makes sense to me.
All good revenue makers-----Extracted from Trading Statement RNS Number:1543H Cagney PLC 07 November 2007
As reported in the interim announcement on 26 September 2007, the Group is enjoying a high level of activity in the second half of the year in terms of new business opportunities. Since the interim announcement, new client projects have been awarded by Budweiser, Alliance Trust and Sacla, and Government projects via the Central Office of Information. Since 1 July in total the Group has added 15 new clients.
Growth in the business continues. At the half year we reported gross profit of#3.7 million, a 63 per cent. increase compared with the same period in 2006.
For the full year we anticipate gross profit of at least #7.6 million, which
would represent an increase of 38 per cent. on the figure reported for 2006.
These growth figures include the effect of acquisitions.
All adds up to support the current rumour that March 31st will be a landmark for CAGNEY's trading position and hence SP
Have a nice Easter break one and all.
