What makes you think that? Genuine question as I may look at it myself... seems quiet there.

Lost the morrisons contract. Looks like this one will crash today...

RNS out - new contract - should see a nice rise. Never did get the funds to get in here :| Parseq, a leading provider of technology led turnkey outsourcing solutions and mobile and online banking software, is pleased to announce that it has signed a new multi-million pound outsourcing contract with the Lloyds Banking Group ("Lloyds"), the largest retail bank in the UK. The agreement covers a three year period and extends Parseq's relationship with Lloyds significantly; bringing HBOS as a new customer and further securing long-term revenue visibility. The Group will now provide its outsourcing solution to HBOS and Lloyds TSB, including BACS payment debit and credit processing services and call centre support to corporate, commercial and retail customers. These services will be provided from a newly developed, highly secure processing platform which maximises the use of advanced Optical Character Recognition software. The contract win demonstrates the effectiveness of Parseq's strategy to combine the deployment of its bespoke technology and high service standards to create a market-leading turnkey business outsourcing solution. Rami Cassis, Chief Executive of Parseq, commented, "We are delighted that we have been able to extend our relationship with Lloyds and secure HBOS as a customer. We believe that our outsourcing services together with our technology create a compelling proposition and this contract, which will see Parseq handle transactions worth billions of pounds per annum over the next three years, reflects the strength of our offering."

Yup - hope no one got burned by buying in on hype. Very difficult to play shares like this.

Why/How does this happen with no news? Cant be all BB driven?

Nah - not shorting it. Just learnt from SAR and VAL. ;) - no smoke without fire though I guess... something must have leaked for this to go up so much. Shame I was too busy this morning to catch the forum tip.

Nice one guys - another SAR/VAL share. Make sure you take profits/original stakes! ;)

Rudolf van Megen, Chief Executive Officer of SQS commented, "We are delighted with the significant growth experienced during the year, and particularly in the second half, in both revenues and profitability. The investments made in the first half of the year into infrastructure and sales staff and the continuing investment into offshore consultancy staff have been successful. To satisfy market demand we will see further strong staff recruitment in 2011. Our growing offshore and nearshore resources are helping us to become increasingly competitive and ultimately to improve overall margins. "In addition, our Managed Services business, with which we have gone through a steep learning curve, has continued to grow strongly and contracted over €50 million of revenue during the period, although there are still areas where the performance of the division can be improved. As well as improving revenue visibility, Managed Services is also helping to increase brand awareness of SQS, leading to ever larger contract wins. We are now in an established growth pattern and, while our strategic focus for the coming year will be to continue to improve and innovate our services portfolio, further expansion of Managed Services, hiring onshore and offshore resources and improving the gross profit. Therefore, we are confident of a similar performance in 2011." So looks good for the future. Been on my watchlist for a while now...

Managed to get in here on release of the RNS and running on freebies now. I think fundementals here will see it go higher than your average in next few months moosh. Be interesting to see what revenue they get from the kits sold. Im looking for 2.4 for my next top slice. I spiked to 2.5 briefly on open - though that may have been a new system blip.

Love that figure - £100,001 - why the 1? :D
