Previously writing on remote meetings technology group LoopUp (LOOP), in July with the shares at 177.5p I questioned how sustainable the net cash generation? The shares went on towards 250p, but last closed at 155p and are currently well below 100p on the back of a “Trading Update”...

Loopup (#LOOP) – “revenue from January through April 2020 is at least 40% higher than the same period last year”

2020-05-06 07:44:00

2020-02-24 14:36:32

Previously writing on remote meetings technology group LoopUp (LOOP), in December it was trading & share price having slumped… guess what “Measures relating to 2018 and 2019 options grants” are? That was after a prior 67.5p share price close – the shares had recovered somewhat to last close at 82.5p but are currently below 60p on the back of a “Trading Update”…

2019-12-04 15:35:51

Previously writing on LoopUp Group (LOOP), in July I noted a share price drop to circa 130p, but still with the current operating challenges and valuation, I retain prior bearishness. Still a sell. Having closed yesterday at 67.5p, today “Measures relating to 2018 and 2019 options grants”…

LoopUp Group – ‘revenue erosion in long-term established customer base’. Uh oh…

2019-07-03 11:40:29

Our track record of consistent revenue growth in excess of 30% has been maintained, gross margins have improved further and LoopUp EBITDA has grown by 161%”.

2017-09-25 06:07:49

LoopUp – review as shares sparked by ‘ahead of expectations’ trading update

2017-01-18 07:18:50

I looked at remote meetings technology group LoopUp (LOOP) just after the company’s August IPO – concluding, with the shares at 112.5p, that the valuation in conjunction with usual IPO and growth risks saw me avoid, but that I’d monitor with interest. The shares closed yesterday at exactly the same price as then – but are currently approaching 13% higher today, at 127p, on the back of a trading update announcement…
