Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Describing itself as a “global music and audio products group”, Focusrite (TUNE) has issued an AGM update including in the headline “healthy underlying demand”. How does the demand compare to a 237p share price, £140 million market cap?
Music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE) has announced “trading in-line with expectations… The agility of our teams and strength of our product portfolio in combination with strategic actions including the strengthening of routes to market, selective new product development and careful cost management give us confidence in the future progress of the group”. However, how creditable trading in line with expectations is clearly depends on how demanding the expectations are and how confident to really be currently from an around 200p share price here?…
Music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE) has announced results for the year to 31st August 2025 headlined “Growth across Content Creation and stable margins demonstrate strong operational resilience”. However, after I wrote in September ‘argues “strong performance” but will that adjusted EBITDA prove to be manipulated bullshit earnings?’, what about the financials detail?
Music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE) has issued a trading update headlined “Strong Performance in Six Months to 31 August 2025 Supports Full Year Outturn” and the shares are currently more than 15% higher in response at 190p. With that though still down from share price levels of earlier this year, how does the valuation look now?
Most recently, last month with the shares then falling below 170p, on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE) I wrote it ‘concludes “Trading Update” with now “looks forward to… when it announces its half year results in late April 2024”. I bet it wishes it could report the results of back then too!’. It commences its now-announced results for its half year ended 28th February 2025 emphasising “with the group returning to revenue growth and confident of meeting full year expectations” and what about the shares currently slightly up to 147.5p in response?
Most recently writing on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE), in January with the shares falling below 200p I concluded still avoid/sell with I cautious that its half-year to end-February results would show why it’s expectations detail not speaking its name. Now there’s a “Trading Update” including the half-year performance “was in line with expectations… Market expectations are understood to be a range for EBITDA for the 12 months to 31 August 2025 of between £24.5 million and £26.0 million”, so why a currently further lower, to below 170p, share price?
Most recently writing on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE), in November with the shares up to 265p I noted it stated impacted consumer confidence and I questioned when’s market conditions improvement to be. The shares most recently closed at 210p, and what about today an AGM update and the shares currently falling below 200p?
Most recently writing on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE), in August with the shares down towards 280p I concluded that there still didn’t seem much in the near-term outlook to look forward to and, thus, still avoid. What about today full-year results and the shares currently slightly up in response to 265p?
Previously writing on music and audio products company Focusrite (TUNE), in March with the shares falling to 270p I concluded there likely longer-term recovery potential but its short-term outlook may still be wrong and thus I would not want to own the shares at that juncture. The shares most recently closed at 348p, but what of them currently heading back towards 280p following a “Trading Statement” announcement?
