Market Musings

The stock market seems to be positively benign at present, if not almost somnambulant. While certain sections of the economy have gone to hell in a handcart, the enthusiasm for technology stocks has not abated. My very diversified portfolio is up today at the time of writing by 0.4% helped by good news from Dotdigital (DOTD) today and a sudden enthusiasm for GB Group (GBG). Optimism about a more general recovery in the economy seems to be still prevalent. It’s probably a ...

Serco Charges, Unilever Trading and DotDigital AGM

I like to report on the latest evidence of fraudulent accounting just to remind folks how little one can trust the accounts of companies. I have not mentioned Serco...

ShareSoc Companies Seminar Report 2014-02-20

  This a very brief note on the ShareSoc Companies Seminar last night. The companies presenting were NewRiver Retail, Ilika, DotDigital and IS Solutions. They were all interesting companies in different ways, and there is nothing better than hearing from the horse's mouth what the management have to say about their own businesses. Note that ShareSoc is now running these seminars regularly so as to enable private investors to learn more about individual companies. The format enables you to hear directly from the senior ...

AGM Reports

dotdigital (DOTD) AGM 2019

This morning I attended the DotDigital (DOTD) Annual General Meeting. I have held shares in the company for some years and it has made steady progress. Sales last year were up 15% (including discontinued operations) at £42 million and adjusted earnings up 33% with positive cash flow. The company originally focused on an email service for use in marketing, newsletter distribution, etc, but is now a multi-channel communication service. They acquired a company called Comapi to add functionality in that area last year ...

DotDigital Group (DOTD) AGM Report 2015

I was the only ordinary shareholder who turned up for the Annual General Meeting of DotDigital (DOTD) today (15/12/2015). That's the same as last year. It was a convenient location and time so that's a bit surprising, but apparently they have few private shareholders. They have shown steady revenue and profits growth in the last few years and they even pay a small dividend. Perhaps lack of private investor interest is because the previous CEO Peter Simmonds never gave great presentations ...

DotDigital (DOTD) AGM Report 2014

On the 16th December I attended the Annual General Meeting of DotDigital Group Plc (DOTD), one of those annoying companies whose proper name does not start with a capital letter. They can try to ignore the rules of English but I will not. The meeting was held in their new offices at One London Bridge, next to the River Thames and adjacent to London Bridge Station. It is in a prestige new office block and had clearly been also fitted out expensively. ...

DotDigital (DOTD) AGM Report 2013

Today (17 Dec 2013) DotDigital held its Annual General Meeting at their offices in London just south of the river. There were three ordinary shareholders attended including me which is two more than last year. They might need to move to a larger venue next year at this rate. The Company Secretary mentioned to me before the meeting that they were going to do a poll on all resolutions at the request of two of the major shareholders, but as it turned ...

DotDigital (DOTD) Annual General Meeting Report 2012

The DotDigital (DOTD) Annual General Meeting was in their Croydon offices this year on 18/12/2012, but the number of ordinary shareholders attending was unchanged – namely one. The last time I visited the iconic No.1 Croydon building was about 40 years ago when I had an employment interview with IBM, and I don’t recall much about it except I did not get the job. Anyway the view from the 20th floor this time was interesting and the surrounding streets are now ...

DotDigital (DOTD) AGM Report 2011

Today I attended the Annual General Meeting of dotDigital Group Plc (yes one of those annoying companies that has a lower case start to their name, so the holding sorts to an unexpected position in a portfolio list). The company operates in the web/media sector and mainly provides marketing communication services. Revenue was £9m last year, and it is profitable and debt free. The AGM was held at their offices in London (near the Globe theatre) at 11.00 am. I was ...

Laggard DotDigital: how not to run an AGM

The views expressed in this article are those of its author and not necessarily those of ShareSoc. I have been a shareholder of DotDigital for 8 years now and I was appalled by the manner in which the virtual AGM that I have just attended was conducted. Shareholders were advised that in person attendance would not be possible, so a virtual AGM would be provided via the Investor-Meet-Company (IMC) platform. I duly completed the necessary formalities and looked forward to asking my questions ...
