Stating that it “revolutionized the monetization of digital content and services, by opening-up online payments to mobile phone users worldwide. Today, the Digital Vending Machine is driving the rapid growth of the subscriptions economy”, Bango (BGO) has announced its results for the 2025 calendar year and that it is “confident in the medium-term growth prospects, supported by a strong pipeline of opportunities and the positive start to the year and expect the Subscriptions segment to generate positive cash EBITDA in FY27”. So what about a current share price response towards 70p, more than 8% down?
I am being lectured today by a hipster accountant who says that I really need to get down with the kids and understand social media influencers, after my podcast yesterday. Perhaps it is because I am something of a dinosaur, or at least someone who looks back to the 1980s with a nostalgic longing, that I have always been a perma bear of technology stock Bango (BGO) which has today served up a ghastly trading statement. But it is not just the content but the wording which, at every level, is a red flag.
Hello, Share Mashers. As my grandpappy used to say, if a company has big, famous customers, it stands a better chance of rewarding shareholders. Which bring me to Bango (BGO), a growing player in the ‘making payments easier' world.
Payment platform company, Bango (BGO) has updated “on trading for the six months ended 30 June 2018”. This commences “End User Spend (EUS) continues its four-year growth trend of at least doubling every twelve months. The total EUS for 1h2018 was £220m compared with £92m in 1h2017, and £271m for all of 2017. As in previous years, EUS in the second half of the year is expected to be significantly higher than in the first”. Er, ok – but that is not about how the company is trading. What about financials?...
Jam tomorrow producer Bango (BGO) has served up a ramptastic trading statement which distinguishes itself by missing out all of the metrics a sane investor would want to know about. Lads, Ronan understands.
As you can see from our coverage HERE I have been a long term bear of Bango (BGO). As far as I can see it is just another jam tomorrow company run by utterly overpaid tossers. But even I am mystified by its share price collapse.
