The Sentry programme is the contract to maintain Britain's Airborne Warning and Control System, better known as AWACs, or the planes with the big radar dish mounted on top. Sentry is led by Northrop Grumman with MASS, AAR, BAE Systems and Cobham Aviation Services all pitching in. Under the contract MASS provides the specialist IT systems that allow all the partners to securely share sensitive information.
Defence electronics firm Cohort saw its shares rocket on Monday morning after announcing strong profits and a big contract extension. In the 12 months to the end of April pre-tax profits climbed 51% to £6.5m compared to £4.4m in 2010/2011. Revenues were up 16% at £75.4m while the total dividend per share rose 21% to 2.9p. Cohort operates through three businesses: SCS, a defence consultancy, MASS which focuses on electronic warfare systems, and SEA which produces surveillance software and hardware. Separately to the year-end results Cohort announced that the MASS division has been awarded a five-year extension to its managed IT service contract for the so-called "Sentry Whole Life Support Programme".
Cohort have managed to produce a good result during a difficult year of trading with the Euro crisis as a backdrop, in a highly competitive sector which has shrunk in the UK! If they can continue to perform in this fashion over the next FY, I would expect to see 20-30% on this share next year.
Interview with Andrew Thomis, CEO - http://www.brrmedia.co.uk/event/98827/andrew-thomis-chief-executive-officer
Bit surprised there hasn't be more activity on this share. With less than 2 weeks to annual results and expectation of budget being met, now is the time to buy!
This is set to jump 10% at year end, so get in now IMHO. My short term target is 119p. As always DYOR, GLA
Commenting on the results, Nick Prest CBE, Chairman of Cohort plc said: "Cohort has improved its profitability despite challenging conditions in some of its markets and operational difficulties at SEA. The closing order book of £103m provides a good platform for the coming year, and we will maintain the drive for improved operational performance, particularly at SEA." "Cohort's businesses have strong market positions and the Group has a healthy cash position. There is a gap between the market capitalisation of Cohort and the Board's view of the aggregate value of Cohort's underlying businesses and the Board's priority is to close this gap."

Good contract win EUR3.5m http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201007151229194134P Anyone in this?
I guess down to low volume and no additional news which suits me fine for now. This will get back on the radar in good time and continue a steady rise I think.
Again solid buying. Great call Rollo on price movement. I'm wondering with the pressure on defence spending whether a BAE or similar might want to scoop this up for growth and further consolidation / diversity.
I'm hopeful that CHRT will drift back to close to its original share price eventually. All buys almost no sells... I'm comfortable holding on to what I have. Should open about 106p tomorrow, 2p down from today, and close the week about 111.
Picked some up a bit early at 105 but quite happy to see this as a solid investment.
Check out the sales for today.
I don't own these but it looks to me that the sell off is overdone and this could be a price to pick up some shares. There seems to be no malice in the £1.85 million over-statement plus the other 2 businesses are up. Any thoughts out there.
Oh dear... there's a bit of a shock for some as there seems to be some discrepancies over the figures this year...
Is anybody else on here looking at buying into this share? Im just about to buy and wonderd if anybody had anything good or bad to say before I do!!
Looking for the SP
Shares in Cohort, the AIM-listed defence consultancy, have displayed the resilience of the Roman military unit from which it takes its name. Once it becomes a suitable size, Cohort could also become a takoever target. Tuck away at 167½p, or 15 times earnings says the Times.
