DA's s/w is sold on a SAAS basis rather than on a contract basis, which clouds the view. The FVR contract was for the development of specific varieties of their software. In my opinion, it's fair to assume that DA's revenues are increasing by virtue of the partnerships they have and the credibility lent to them by statements from some of those partners, such as Entrust. But SAAS revenues start low and grow exponentially. The further out you look, the greater the revenues. It's this basis upon which DA will be valued. Not current revenues, if the suitor believes that Keyscaler has a future, which all the signs say it has. But you can't RNS increasing SAAS revenues as they're changing all the time.
Look, it's not easy. You have to, in my opinion, read between the lines and put the pieces together yourself. The lack of RNSs is irritating but in my view is largely understandable. Regardless, ultimately the value comes from the asset sale, not everyday share price movements, nice as it is to see those moving up. I see what I regard as strong evidence that DA is doing very well and has emerged as a key player in a very rapidly growing sector. That's my take, and on that basis, RNS or no RNS, I remain invested as DA has increasing value. What that is, no one knows. It's more if more than one major wants to buy it.
You make your own call. But I don't think it should depend on whether or not there are lots of RNSs.
