of 5,455,000 shares ?
..... just gone through. Looks like a buy.
read 'knew' not new!
Well it does look as though the mm's last week new the sell order had been cleared. 500K buyer now. I guess for now, the pressure is on the upside.
Is Coms plc being prepared to be sold off? Seems it is the software branch of the enterprise and so perhaps cheaper to buy in or come to some sort of an arrangement. Trying to get my head around matters, so may be way off the mark.
There has been a large holder reducing in 500k tranches these last few weeks, if this overhang is clear I would expect a good rebound too. Looking at the price action today, the mm's seem to think the reduction is over. Fingers crossed, we'll soon know!
how this pans out - very much breakout territory now but i have this as short bias based on price action of recent weeks/months - if it does break to the upside expect some nice gains though up to circa 5p mark - gla
Again, high volume today. Perhaps the falling SP has attracted attention. Kyri
Well said. Good points... :-)
Some concerns highlighted in the recent final results: Smart building revenue increased by £6.8m, gross profit from these operations only added £0.2m. This suggests buying business, perhaps to make money in the networking/ management? Probably why Connect IB was bought. Profit was not forthcoming due to (one-off) integration/ transactional costs. Very hard to value a business accurately when buying/ selling assets. (see old COMS in D.B days) Net profit, without one-offs of £0.7m on £40m of sales needs improving, average ftse 250 company achieves 10% or £4m on the same turnover. I am happy holding for the next set of figures, which should show improved margins assuming that integration has gone well, and an enhanced revenue performance. Remember, Mark Braund will want to draw a line under previous management and will want to show what he can do. Every new CEO/CFO will want to bury margin issues and write-off's in the previous years figures, and show a turn around, I am certain Mark is no different.
To be honest Rocka, I can't (others might be able to) - all the information on progress to date suggests a positive turnaround story - and I believe that to be true. I can only put the doldrums down to, as Adrift mentioned, typical AIM trading i.e. tends to only move on significant news. We need a few more good news updates I think to get us moving upwards. Failing that we will plod along... which again is fairly typical of the summer months. At least patience is something we are good at here! Though, as I said, I will add a further top up if the price drops to my point.. Finally, whilst craving news - I'm very conscious of the old "COMS" under that prat DB (Gru) - issued RNS on the opening of a fridge door... so don't want a return to the over hype... Good luck to us ... eventualyl! Miss G ;-)
Usually you look for some red flags if you're uncertain, can you think of any here that we need to worry about ?
We have been advised by several individuals on this forum to forget the DB era and move on.However when the share price behaves like this one in spite of good news it is difficult to forget the past.In those days some responded to legitimate questions by advising 'get out of the kitchen' and I've no doubt such advice will be given again.In the past the share behaviour was attributed to MM activities and this will happen again so anyone wishing to pile in again should be aware that history often repeats itself.Many share holders of Coms are very loyal, including myself,but at some point legitimate questions should be asked.As usual I am hoping for the best but fearing the worst because we are loyal.
so it is .... Summer blues perhaps.... I can see another top up coming soon. Limit order set for 1.3 Miss G ;-)
why this is dated 3 june 2016 on the website?....
Katie The answer is: "NO"
Katie, I understand your frustration. We've had a positive RNS & good news in the way of the contract win. There is a fair bit of volume, yet the SP is stagnant. Kyri
Does anyone know how much this contract was worth, was it a lot as the SP is going downwards not upwards? COMS PLC ("Coms") Coms to deliver customer focused solution for leading retail destination Coms (AIM: COMS), a leading provider of technology and services for smart buildings and commercial spaces, is pleased to announce that Connect IB, its software and solutions business, has been awarded a contract by the owners and management agents of a major city centre shopping centre on the south coast of the UK. The contract sees the implementation of smart technologies to improve the shopper experience along with real time analytical reporting on shopper activity within the centre and the immediate surrounding area. The solution, due for public release in August 2016, utilises smartphone and beacon technology to deliver location based services, loyalty, car parking integration and digital wayfinding within the centre and car park. Connect IB's cloud-based platform delivers a loyalty scheme for retailers and partners in the immediate area including redemption and analytics.
looks good.
Coms featured in Daily Mail Stock Watch article on Friday, may provoke some interest in the company & the share: www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail/20160527/283192967610655 BW. Krusty
http://www.westfieldcorp.com/properties/ Westfield Corporation has one of the world’s highest quality shopping centre portfolios with 34 centres in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Last year approximately 400 million customer visits generated over US$16 billion in retail sales.
I think it's important not just to focus on the individual contract specific to this shopping centre, but also the fact that these places are owned by much larger property companies. So say is was Southampton West Quay - it is owned by Hammerson - who also own places like Brent Cross north London and the Bullring in Birmingham. It is clients like these that we need for organic growth. When you consider that Connect IB are bringing existing clients like GSK, Meyer Bergman and Westfield(another shopping centre I get dragged to frequently) the potential for cross-selling, organic growth and increasing our profile really is quite significant. There is a long way to go and it is a very competitive market, but this is a huge and growing sector and I know for a fact they are becoming increasingly busy. RedstoneConnect are positioning themselves perfectly to take full advantage and I feel evermore confident with my growing investment here. We now have a proper company. I don't even consider this to be the same company it was a year or so ago and nor should anyone else - just reassess and judge it on its future potential not on the flawed fantasy of the past.
