Is where it’s at. Buy.
Results look good, maybe this will recover some more.
I met with one of the larger institutional holders last month - they are bullish on the stock.
I'm a long term holder & think this a well-run company.
Re my post yesterday I meant to say there were more share purchases than sales.
Berenberg has today raised its target price to 1800 with a "buy" rating.
Yes, but against this there were more share purchases today by both volume and value, and a large director purchase at the end of December. So not all gloom and doom!
One broker issues a rating and you lose 9% of SP!!
Bank of America has issued an underperform rating with a target price of 1350.
agreed - cant see why such a huge drop :(
I can't see any reason for the drop today.. afaik there is no negative news. Is it just market correction or something happened which caused SP to go south?
Thanks chutneygirl. Just had a quick google and found this:

"Belfast IT firm Kainos to float on London Stock Exchange
By Clodagh Rice
Business Reporter, BBC News NI
Published
7 July 2015
Belfast-based IT firm Kainos is set to float on the London Stock Exchange.
The initial public offering on Friday is set to raise £52m in shares, and values the company at £161m.
Kainos is headquartered in Belfast and has approximately 730 staff across its seven offices.
It was founded in April 1986 as a joint venture between ICL and QUBIS Ltd. Kainos reported profit before tax of £11.8 million last year.
The firm's floatation is being supported by the bank Investec.
The flotation will make it one of three publicly listed companies in Northern Ireland, along with First Derivatives in Newry and UTV.
Kainos's chief executive Brendan Mooney said the company had been "delighted" by the response to the initial public offering.
"The task for us now is simple - to maintain our growth trajectory," he added.
"We have a clearly defined strategy in place to see that happen and are looking forward to life as a listed company."
Law firm Pinsent Masons aided Kainos with the process.
Paul McBride, the head of its Belfast office, said that although the number of listed companies in Northern Ireland was small, there is "potential fit for many more firms to access investment via the markets"."

Rockpool Acquisitions (ROC) is a main-listed cash shell, which may be of interest to investors seeking other Northern Ireland investments to DXRX:-
"A listed acquisition vehicle seeking opportunities in Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland has a good availability of high quality, often internationally-focused, companies. Despite having an estimated 70,000 registered businesses, there are only two other publicly-listed companies predominantly based in Northern Ireland and Rockpool believes that more Northern Ireland businesses could benefit from the ability to tap into deeper pools of capital which access to the public markets provides.
With extensive knowledge and experience of the Northern Ireland market, the directors are seeking to identify and acquire a highly ambitious, Northern Ireland-based company that is focused on significant growth, and provide it with that access, helping that company meet its aspirations and full potential. Target companies will have a valuation of up to £20m."

Rockpool Acquisitions (ROC) has a current market cap. of just £604K., at 4.75p.
Whereas the company has about £950K. cash, and extremely low cashburn.
ROC's large discount at the moment to its cash, despite this extremely low cashburn, looks like a temporary discrepancy - and one that is gradually being addressed by ROC's s.p. rise, as the market wakes up to the opportunity.
KNOS got a positive mention in the Business/ Money section of the Sunday Times yesterday as worth a punt having fallen circa 30% on poor sentiment.
1.83% dividend at 22p at a price of 12.47
Definitely an equity hold
This share has been a frustrating hold. Organically rising then a drop for zero reason. Sat on cash and occasionally buys another business. If this years dividend is anything like the last at 1.5p a share, at the current pricing, its just over 1%.
At best its a bagger where it is though id have thought by now they would have been swallowed by a bigger fish.
They need to increase returns to shareholdersinstead of sitting on the cash
it reads conservative to me. Trading is clearly holding and progressing well, but with so much uncertainty for the future there is some hedge betting going on from the BoD (imo).
In that context the results are very good indeed and I would expect also very good day today. (DYOR etc etc)
Strong continued growth . Very encouraging update
Anyone got a feeling what to expect next week ? I am quietly hopeful but not much info out there
Should be a trading announcement this time next week. Will be very interesting to get a view of their current position.
Great company results not far away . Recent low of sub 12 on the cards prior to results . For me that is a buy
