http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/midasextra/article-4502782/Ambitious-cyber-security-firm-booming.html IMHO The Mail article is in the guise of 'long term investor' guidance. The journalist in question, Joanne Hart has acted with great irresponsibly, given her 'financial journalist' for the Mail. Especially when you consider the current climate of national fear & panic. She may claim not to have a vested interested, but you can be damn sure her friends and family do. When will people learn! Wisdom says diversify, spread your investments. I hope the long term (ISA & SIPP) investors come too their senses and realise they're getting seriously f***ed-over by the likes of Joanne Hart, her friends and family (and other traders) before its too late. Now back to that toast and marmalade. https://www.nccgroup.trust/uk/about-us/newsroom-and-events/press-releases/2016/august/47-of-nhs-trusts-in-england-admit-to-falling-victim-to-ransomware/
Today , up a quid whilst still applying my marmalade to my toast
Good write-up today in The Mail on Sunday today. 'plenty of potential for growth.' BUY BUY BUY
Omedone - Why... No RNS, no news, no further results or new financials. The company has done very well to raise to the funding it needed for its strategy. The current 380 price to some may appear high and overweight. Few brokers are tipping as buys, but with a more prudent valuation of 220-250+. This firm is prime for a takeover, for the services it offers and a number of previous security companies offereing similar services in the local area have been purchased in the last few years. That aside good luck and happy days to all that bought early and sold at the current prices.
Bet u feel like a plonker now
Previously good increases here, however as the news, sales and numbers are out there now, any possiblenext SP rise will come on any new contract wins and/or increases and new developments. Good article here on possible company developments, but its now a case of seeing what the next year brings. The management have to convert the investment into new business and contract wins. Think this SP has plateux-ed here at 290/300p http://www.thebusinessdesk.com/yorkshire/news/2001442-news2001442-ecsc-chief-on-board-level-security-risks-eu-regulation-and-ipos?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Yorkshire_30th_Mar_2017_Daily With its market cap, ECSC will already be in same markets as NCC Group, who may look to accquire as they have done previously IMHO. GLA MrBBD
company ECSC moving up - presumably in anticipation of good results - The Company will be announcing its results for the fifteen months ended 31 December 2016 on 22 March 2017. http://www.investegate.co.uk/ecsc-group-plc--ecsc-/rns/trading-statement/201702220700094850X/ IPO was only about 3 months ago.
For annual revenue growth since company formation in 2001, see page 15 of admission document https://investor.ecsc.co.uk/downloads/ECSC_AdmissionDocument.pdf From that data can see the expected revenue growth over the year to Dec 31st 2016 to be around the 35% mentioned by the ceo. That is to about £3.3mn. http://www.share-talk.com/share-news/ian-mann-ceo-of-ecsc-group-lonecsc-trading-update/ Fines for security breaches have recently been increased significantly. It is now mandatory to report security breaches. (The IPO was on Dec 14th 2016 so that extra c. £5mn would hardly have been able to impact the year to Dec 31st 2016 revs.) ceo holds 18.9% Unicorn AIM VCT plc holds 17% https://investor.ecsc.co.uk/shareholders/significant-shareholders.html The Company will be announcing its results for the fifteen months ended 31 December 2016 on 22 March 2017.
Liking how this is shaping up, wonder how long before it comes onto someone else's radar..........
Being that the company claims to serve GCHQ as one of it's clients, could there be a working relationship with the NCSC?
This could be just the boost that cybersecurity firms need to grow; http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/smallbusiness/article-4120352/Smaller-firms-set-face-52bn-fines-security-breaches-cyber-crime-skyrockets.html
Its definitely one of the bigger players with a Mcap of £19m followed by Corero £18m and the 2 smaller players who are falanx and tern around £9m. The 2 smaller companies are probably a better investment.
Cybercrime is on the rise that's for sure. Interesting short article here; https://www.google.co.uk/amp/uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUKKBN14800L
This one has a long way to go and the issues of cyber security will only become greater as time goes on, with the investment from the IPO and a new office in Australia this could become a global player in no time at all. Possibly catching the eye of a larger tech company....
Hopped on this morning, a ' blue sky ' play in a sector that is only going to get more coverage and focus....
Cyber Security crowd who have a contract with GCHQ. Not a lot of info but one to watch, particularly as GCHQ have a raised budget for Cyber work this year
