First Derivatives by FD technologies disposal: more ouzo for the sheriff with complete vindication

By Tom Winnifrith, the Sheriff of AIM | Monday 7 October 2024


Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.


Back in June 2018, I opened my account on First Derivatives (FDP) urging you to short the shares at £46, a £1.2 billion market cap. The red flags were everywhere but natch everybody said I had got it wrong about a company which had picked up gongs at the AIM awards three times! Today that core business has been sold for an EV of just £230 million although the cash receipts are just £205 million. Complete vindication!
