Touchstone to IP anyone? Well I find myself a shareholder in this after being 'forced' into it by the major shareholders in Touchstone Innovations and IP. Touchstone may have lost me money but I believed in focused management there to deliver long-term (3-5 yr) returns. IP group on the other hand, management appear to be getting money and setting light to it, bunch of former stockbrokers not known for prudence with other peoples money, do they really need an Australian office at this stage or do they like the idea of 'company paid for' holidays. Anyway I feel other disgruntled Touchstone shareholders are selling their IP shares, hence recent SP weakness - am in 2 minds to cut-losses to join them or wait for some bounce back, but then am getting gut-feeling is this will keep tracking down...mmh what to do? Any lP believers out there who can sell me a buy story?

Re: Given up here....... [link] trend has been down since 2015. So you would have thought with more maturing businesses going forward the price should be going up? Buy into strength, sell into weakness? I don't rate buying into cycles.

Re: Given up here....... Not completely unexpected given Chinese crackdown and it was only to about £23.5M in > £930M current market cap, approx 2.5% of current value and about 1.56% of the combined entity.They could raise that elsewhere. I think it was more to do with having Chinese capital to tap in future.However, it is getting to a point where ipo need to show some leg as it's back where it was towards mid 2006 on share price allowing for any issuance etc. Encourages trading rather than investing.It is frustrating, a tease. Potential they fail to have show up in maintained share price rises.Can't just blame the market.

Acquisition Price action is part related to the IVO offer imho.Approx 34/66 % split in new group for ivo/ipo, with offer ratio and ipo sp determining ivo value.Depending on who holds both and what % they want of the enlarged group (and what # of each currently) there can be reasons to sell down ipo.Risk off doesn't help too as well as markets not necessarily being gung-ho currently for listed holdings and less receptive to any new floats too."Any adjustment to the Exchange Ratio will be finally determined at Completion and the implied offer value per Touchstone Share will be calculated by reference to the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of an IPG Share over the 30 Business Days prior to the Completion Date and will be rounded to four decimal places. The New Offer Cap is not a no increase statement and should not be taken to mean that the New Exchange Ratio or New Offer Cap cannot be increased."I suspect post acquisition there is a chance of a relief rally, no guarantee though.

Re: Given up here....... 1/5 Ox Nano is IPO'sExpect float in next 12-18 months and at £1.5Bn+ mkt cap.IVO acquisition will reduce dependence on Ox Nano and reduce volatility.Patience is called for. Just about 12 months ago look at the price.Since then holdings are more mature and IVO will help.Sentiment is different now, it will change again. Ebb and flow.Dec 2016 - "Following completion of the financing round, IP Group's undiluted beneficial stake of 19.7% in Oxford Nanopore will be valued at £246.3 Million".
