Re: Yougov shareprice Don't know if you're familiar with Paul Scott who does a daily small cap blog on Stockopedia, but he did quite a detailed trawl through the YOU accounts last October when the shares were at about 225p. Basic view is that the adjustments to the profit figures are crazy and that the shares are an accident waiting to happen when the market twigs. Here is the concluding paragraph to his analysis:---------- ---------the reality is that this is a modestly profitable collection of businesses, which generated a pre-exceptional operating profit of £4.3m in the year (up usefully from £2.9m in the prior year).The company then uses accounting sleight of hand to present adjusted profit figures which are much higher, but totally bogus.This has resulted in the share price roaring to a greatly inflated level, where the PER on statutory EPS is a ludicrous 68.2 times. There is no justification for a rating anywhere near that high.Therefore this share looks to me like an accident waiting to happen, when investors finally realise that they've been duped by creative accounting. More fool them - the numbers are not difficult to interpret.This company's accounts really highlight the big danger of relying on adjusted accounts. Sometimes the adjustments are fair & reasonable. However, in this case the adjustments are clearly ridiculous, and I see this share as an accident just waiting to happen. The foundations for the current valuation are extremely weak in my view. Caveat emptor!---------- -Maybe the market finally twigged?Good luck!Gus (no position held).
