Darktrace takenover today. The share price here at CCS is totally silly imv and has fallen from around £4 per share.
Croosword Cyber Security has a big partnership deal with TD Synnex. TD Synnex is a global powerhouse with a $57 billion annual turnover, operating in over 100 countries, and employing 23,000 staff. Mkt cap around £4m for crossword cybersecurity and i find it surprising that the share price is languishing. Some good quality shareholders on board too.
Ubetter hope its not even more peanuts - i was in at 30p, terrible aim share price destruction

That is potentially a game changer with the market cap of CCS at £4m now.
TD Synnex might snap the whole thing up if they can get traction with Trillion and some of their client base
With the merger of Tech Data and Synnex, TD SYNNEX becomes the largest IT distributor having a combined revenue of $59.8 billion, which surpasses Ingram Micro, whose 2020 revenue was $49.1 billion. On January 9, 2024, TD SYNNEX reported the results for 2023 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results reaching $57B in revenue.

I guess it's tanking as a result of the market not believing theres going to be any profits this Q1
Or the profits are been sucked out elsewhere???
Time will tell with an RNS,
Same old same old, possibly dog share in the making
With recent drop,
Well its tanked from 30p really, no one ever been interested, its never done well unfortauntely
Why on earth is this tanking?!
Ticking all the boxes,
This won't stay down for much longer,
Problem is the market keeps ignoring this share hence the decline from 30p.

Reason I sold out today, taking a £4k hit!
Held 20000 of these for a few years. So much promise but NO delivery.
28 November 2023 - London, UK - Crossword Cybersecurity Plc (AIM:CCS, "Crossword", the "Company" or the "Group"), the cybersecurity solutions company focused on cyber strategy and risk, today announces a trading update for the year ending 31 December 2023.
Full-year guidance
In the first half of 2023, Crossword shifted its focus to establishing a clear path to profitability with its current suite of products and dedicated staff, which continues to be our direction and strategy. In the second half of 2023, revenue growth has not been as strong as expected. The pipeline remains strong, but conversion from pipeline to contracts has slowed down. This means that contract opportunities expected to commence in Q4 2023 are now expected to commence in 2024. As a result, Crossword expects FY23 revenue to be in the range of £4.1m to £4.3m, as opposed to the previously guided £6m of revenue.
Given our focus on path to profitability, costs have continued to be tightly controlled during FY23, resulting in net losses before taxation expected to be broadly in line with current market expectations.
Outlook
The Company has previously guided to 2024 revenue of c£8m, the Company believes that revenue is more likely to be circa £7m for 2024.
The Company remains firmly committed to achieving profitability without needing to raise additional capital and remains on target to achieve EBITDA and cash breakeven on a monthly basis during H2 2024.

Certainly gives some hope the worry is the majority of their income is from professional services which will be low margin as people costs will be high. Higher margin (100%) software is what profits will rely on as with all other cyber security businesses.
"The focus is also on higher-margin business segments and key accounts that can leverage a broader range of Crossword's products and services. "

Great time to be in CCS and GRC....Technical saying good time to get in as oversold.....DYOR
In the first half of 2023, Crossword shifted its focus towards establishing a clear path to profitability. Profitability will be underpinned by continuing strong revenue growth, margin improvement and cost containment.
Revenue Growth
Crossword expects to report revenue of £1.9m (unaudited) for the 6 months ended 30 June 2023, an increase of 27% from the same period in the previous year and has not seen a slow-down in cyber security spend amongst its core regulated and critical national infrastructure clients. Strong revenue growth was experienced across all revenue lines and ARR at the end of H1 2023 was £2.7m, growth of 35% compared to the same period in the prior year. Software Engineering services revenue in H1 2023 helped to strengthen ties with a key partner and provided a valuable development opportunity for staff. Crossword continued to leverage its' 100+ client base to cross sell and has increased emphasis on targeting its larger clients that can make full use of Crossword's range of products and services.
