System1 – in less than 2 weeks from “in line with management's expectations” to significant profit warning!

Previously writing on marketing decision-making platform group System1 (SYS1), just earlier this month whilst it argued profitability “in line with management's expectations” I noted the share price falling below 400p in response, it not fully in line with expectations and a still challenging valuation. But why are the shares materially lower today to around 250p?…

SYS1

System1 Group – trading update… but what was the actual bottom-line performance?

An announcement from System1 Group (SYS1) commences that this “Advertising Effectiveness Agency, is today providing a Trading Update for its financial year to the end of March 2021 ahead of its results announcement on 29 June 2021”. This includes “sales picked up faster than adjusted operating costs” – and the shares have currently responded to 240p, 26% higher. Justified?...

SYS1

System1 Group – half-year trading update… but how’s the outlook (including for “the heart of the increased new product development programme”)?

Marketing services group whose last results statement included “our pioneering application of Behavioural Science to predicting which ads will create the greatest long-term growth and profitability”, System1 (SYS1) has updated including “normalised H1 pre-tax profits… are expected to be some £2.4m, approximately 24% higher than in the comparable period”. Sounds good…

SYS1

System1 Group – interims emphasise growth & Ad Ratings ‘excitement’, but is material recovery really imminent?

Marketing services group System1 (SYS1) has announced results for its half year ended 30th September 2018 including emphasising “26% growth in diluted earnings per share to 5.3p” and “we are excited about our new Ad Ratings service”. The shares have currently responded circa 8% higher, but a still sub 200p share price compares to almost 400p early in 2018…

SYS1

System1 Group – ‘underlying H1 pre-tax profit expected to be some 73% above prior year’, so why the lack of share price response?

Marketing services group System1 (SYS1) has updated including “underlying H1 pre-tax profits, pre-Ad Ratings and share based payments, are expected to be around £1.9m, some 73% above the £1.1m achieved in H1 2017/18”. Having decreased steadily to around 200p, why are the shares not now though responding positively?...

SYS1

System1 Group – ‘a return to profit growth’… or not?

Marketing services group System1 (SYS1) has updated including that “a return to growth in operating profits vs H1 prior year… is anticipated”. Already down from more than 1000p reached last year, the shares have though currently responded slightly further lower to 230p. Hmmm…

I think it's time Mathieson was given the boot Tom. He's repeatedly shown us all his real character, nothing more to learn there, and it must be distressing for you to have to read his insane rantings.
Paul Mathieson – is this a new low?
