Bidstack (LSE:BIDS) - [Discussion Thread]

I am just looking at MIRI’s website.
Can anyone confirm that what they do is the incorporate a personalised advertisement into an already runing film?

For example, if a black poster appears on the film they might add a non-obvious advert onto it?
Have I understood correctly?

If that is so, it sounds like a great idea from a company perspective.
On the other hand a market cap of 140 million GBP for revenue of 2 million does not sound as great. Growing revenue at 100% year on year though.

That’s good to hear tbh. One I’m gutted about was last year around the end of April, BOTB was on my radar but I couldn’t get a trade for over a day and gave up. I wish I’d just waited now! :sweat_smile:

@Finki I keep toying with the idea of opening an FT account but my only use would be AIM stocks and I just don’t hold enough to justify a second brokerage account

@EquityInvestor Sort of, they have their software pick out spots where they could place an advert, which doesn’t necessarily mean a blank poster, but like adding a billboard to a plain brick wall. Or sides of buses. Now I probably wouldn’t use the term ā€˜slips in’ or ā€˜online videos’ alone but the video shows the idea Mirriad's AI slips ads into empty spaces in online videos - Mirriad

Similar to Bidstack, just TV/Cinema/Video over games. Though I’d agree I’m not completely sold on buying in at MIRI’s current price point , and its just bounced off its original list price downwards.

This is fascinating technology.

Thanks @PorterOldSlug

You have to become a ā€œPlusā€ member on FT to access any AIM stocks that are not listed on the AIM-100. Also, there aren’t that many missing from T212. I can only thing of a handful such as Water Intelligence, Seeing Machines and Eurasia Mining, but I have definitely encountered a couple more. Not many.
So, for 10 pounds a month I don’t think it’s worth it.

I think @PorterOldSlug is more getting at the horrible execution times for some AIM stocks on 212 as opposed to FT who are set up differently and see trades executed much quicker on that exchange.

Valid concern - perhaps not a big deal for BIDS - but as you say, worth their monthly charge…?

Yep it would only be for the fact that FT uses market makers for their AIM stocks where as T212 goes direct to market so waiting for a matching trade can be extremely frustrating. I’d agree for the Ā£10 a month its not worth it so I’ve mostly been avoiding AIM stocks on T212.

I don’t personally mind the executions as they do warn you that the Stock has low Liquidity and if you are happy to pay between 2p on the Stock it is worth holding on in the long run.

Of course I want the execution to be lightning fast but I do expect these AIM Stocks to have longer periods.

Talking about something being frustrating… not having live prices is very annoying. When you put an buy or sell order on FT you don’t know what comes out.
I tend to check Google beforehand for a better idea.

But it is good that there are other platforms available such as FT, it gives us (customers) choice and in this case access to other stocks :smiley: .

I’ve got to agree with Joey here, how could you not trust the wig?! (Ignoring the fact that video has now been made private)

Okay, I don’t know who that is.

No one knows… :neutral_face:

Ha ha interesting. Definitely planning to sell if he hasn’t already! :wink:

Tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if it was changed to private after it tanked at earnings. People are petty and I imagine a lot of hate would be inbound for it! :roll_eyes:

Seen it a few times recently, where companies have given good earning reports causing share prices to dump. (Not saying Bidstack had good earnings, just from other stocks)

Any more news on BIDS? Do we know when they release full year results? Can’t see anything in their last RNS.

It’s in April but not sure of the exact date.

On first view it looks very slick but there are clearly things missing and some formatting issues.

Items of concern are potential gaps in notes 15&16.

The directors state the going concern is conditional on further funding, but no reference to what this may be at all.

They also state chunky receivables due if about 12m iirc, but when are these expected?

As investors, you can’t state the need for further funding, but not disclose an estimate of that level or when details will be announced. Do they need it or not?
