Learning Technologies Group "much more comfortable about the second half"

Learning Technologies Group PLC

Learning Technologies Group PLC (AIM:LTG, OTC:LTTHF) chief executive Jonathan Satchell speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the workplace talent development company released its interim results for the six months to 31 June 2023 Satchel provides an overview of the company's performance over the period as well as its future outlook. The firm reported £285 million in revenue for the first half, a 2.5% increase from the previous year. However, challenges arose from integrating their LEO business into the GP Strategies content business, which Satchell suggests may ultimately have cost an estimated $80 million of EBIT. Despite these challenges, Satchell expresses confidence in the company's resilience. He says the company's performance during the second half was always going to hinge on the GPLX turnaround, adding that August's figures show a strong recovery and he feels "much more comfortable about the second half." While facing softness in markets like China and Japan, the company remains optimistic about meeting analyst expectations for the full year. He also says that as they approach their 10th anniversary, the firm is being selective about acquisitions and has announced a voluntary debt repayment of $25 million. Satchell also highlighted their focus on integrating AI thoughtfully, ensuring they don't merely follow trends but leverage technology effectively.

Chainlink Surges 15% In the Weekly Charts – Can It Catch Up to Borroe.Finance?

Blockchain Digest

September didn't start as planned for Chainlink ($LINK). Yet it has turned around $LINK’s recent bearish fortunes to record a 15% weekly boost. However, analysts seem more focused on Borroe.Finance ($ROE). The latter focuses solely on providing instant loans to the Web 3 industry. Yet, investors say it can become one of the best DeFi coins available. Are these expectations reasonable? Let's find out. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Chainlink ($LINK) Builds on Rising Partnerships in September Despite recent bearish conditions, Chainlink's ($LINK) network activity has remained high. One of Chainlink's standout features among top altcoins has been its rising partnerships in 2023. Chainlink ($LINK) has continuously sought partnerships to increase its presence in the DeFi space. $LINK was trading at 6.02 on September 3, two days after the market-wide slump. By September 12, $LINK dropped slightly by 1.1% to $5.95. Then, by September 19, $LINK had grown by 15.2% to $6.86. The excitement around those partnerships has increased Chainlink's ($LINK) performance in the current bear market. On September 14, Chainlink announced a partnership with ANZ Bank in Australia. Likewise, on August 30, Chainlink announced successful tokenization tests with the SWIFT inter-banking system. Analysts say $LINK could rise by 19.6% to $8.21 given Chainlink’s growing number of partnerships. Borroe.Finance ($ROE): The Financial Fuel the Web 3 Industry Needs In business, access to instant cash flow is everything. Companies need financial muscle to power through day to day tasks of business management. Yet, funding can be hard to come by, especially for businesses in the Web 3 world. Borroe.Finance ($ROE) is a platform launched to correct the problem. It takes a different approach that ensures easier funding for companies at reduced costs and higher efficiency. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Borroe.Finance is a revenue financing marketplace that uses artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and asset tokenization.

Fortunately, there’s still potential for gains. In Stage 3, $ROE will sell for $0.0200. Moreover, when $ROE’s presale is over, it would rise to $0.0400, growing by 166% from its current price.

Australia's Leading Bank Partners with Chainlink: Can Arbitrum and Borroe.Finance Compete with $LINK?

Blockchain Digest

Chainlink's institutional adoption is about to rise thanks to its latest partnership with ANZ banking group. Elsewhere, Arbitrum ($ARB) faces stiff competition from competitors like Base Network, causing its TVL to drop. Yet, Borroe.Finance ($ROE) seems to be in the clouds, especially after the recent sell-off in the second presale stage. Will $ROE eventually become a top ICO? Let's find out. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Arbitrum's ($ARB) Falling TVL Shows Competition with Other Layer 2 Networks Arbitrum's total value locked (TVL) has fallen sharply since early August as subsequent market crashes have reduced its network usage. On August 10, Arbitrum's ($ARB) TVL stood at $2.02 billion before falling to $1.17 billion on September 20. The fall follows a major drop in Arbitrum's positive investor sentiment after the market crashes in August and early September. $ARB had dropped to $0.98 on August 17 after the market-wide slump. The crash of September 1 worsened the bear market, causing $ARB to fall by 10.2% to $0.88. Arbitrum's ($ARB) falling TVL could also be down to competition from other layer-2 networks. Since August, Arbitrum has faced competition from Coinbase's Base Network. On September 14, Arbitrum's ($ARB) daily transaction count reached 878,000. For comparison, Base Network's daily transactions reached $1.88 million on the same day. Analysts say $ARB will struggle to recover if Arbitrum faces more competition from its rivals. These analysts conclude that $ARB could drop by 10.2% to $0.79 if the Base Network maintains pressure on Arbitrum. Borroe.Finance: Community Marketplace Records 58% Rise Within 24 Hours Blockchain technology is all about leveraging the power of the community to create technology-based solutions to real-world problems. This is exactly what Borroe.Finance ($ROE) has done. Built on Polygon, Borroe.Finance creates new avenues for instant funding via leveraging peer-to-peer lending. Borroe.Finance has created an ecosystem for Web 3 businesses to raise instant cash at low costs and high efficiency. The platform prioritizes speedy fundraising approval. Funding requests on Borroe.Finance are typically approved within 1 hour or less. Furthermore, Borroe.Finance looks to fund 80 - 90% of fundraising requests. To smoothen community lending, Borroe.Finance platform uses fractionalized NFTs to represent collateral. These fractionalized NFTs are then sold off on a marketplace to investors from all over the Web 3 world. Via this process, companies can raise funds by selling their invoices to communities that support them. Various perks come with being a member of Borroe.Finance ($ROE). Users enjoy low fees, high discounts, and rewards for being active members. Out of all new ICOs, Borroe.Finance combines a strong real-world utility with its incredible levels of market hype. Within 24 hours of entering Stage 2 of its presale, $ROE has sold 58% of its available tokens. By Stage 3, $ROE would rise by 33.3% from its current price of $0.0150 to $0.0200. So, join while there’s still some supply left at this price. >>BUY $ROE TOKENS NOW<< Australian "ANZ" Bank Explores Chainlink's CCIP On September 15, 2023, the Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) Banking Group announced a partnership with Chainlink ($LINK). The partnership would allow ANZ to use Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to test the purchase of tokenized assets. The latest Chainlink partnership brought slight positive momentum to $LINK's price. $LINK was trading at $5.93 on September 1 after the market slump. Following the announcement of Chainlink's partnership with ANZ, $LINK rose by 7.2% to $6.36 on September 15. As excitement around the partnership grew, $LINK grew by another 8.6% to $6.91 on September 20. Chainlink ($LINK) stands out among other top DeFi projects because of its drive for institutional adoption.
