Marie-Claire in New York ... again!! -

"Imperial Capital is pleased to announce the 21st Annual Security Investor Conference (SIC) on December 11-12, 2024 at the InterContinental New York Barclay."

"SECURITY INVESTORS CONFERENCE 2024

PRESENTERS

as of 11/18/24

... Newmark Security (ION NWT) ..."

https://imperialcapital-sic.com/

NWT's s.p. rose 40% last December (from 53.5p to 75p), helped by the New York presentation news.

Dab,

NWT's most recent final results were issued over two weeks earlier than the previous year's (i.e. 10th. September 2024, compared to 26th. September 2023), so there could be scope for NWT's forthcoming interims to be issued earlier than the last set (25th. January 2024, which itself was an improvement on 31st. January 2023).

And NWT looks like an almost heaven-sent opportunity to obtain top American growth exposure at a bargain basement price.

Without the foreign dealing costs and potential research etc. difficulty of buying American stocks directly.

(£9.44M. of NWT US revenue in its year ended 30.4.24)

The company is doing its share of investment promotion, with three investor presentations in October.

And guess who's presenting in New York next week! -

for nwt to treble from its current s.p. of 80p, to 240p, would still only be a market cap. of £22.5m., i.e. a historic revenue multiple of only c. one.

which looks very achievable within the next year or so, with the right news.

what more do you need?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjeulds3i6m

I last posted about SNX nine months ago, and now seems an appropriate point to revisit it, just as it latest full year (to 30th. November 2024) has ended.

And over the last twelve months, the SNX s.p. has very nearly trebled: from 105p at the start of last December, to 305p today.

That is a market cap. of £54.27M.: compared to expected full year revenue for its year just ended of c. £55M.

The 'much wider market opportunity' point complements the material I set out in my 3.23p.m. post on 17th. October:-

"Every 1's a Winner"- Safetell Areas of Growth Opportunity 17 Oct 2024 15:23"

In fact, if there has ever been a company that looked just made for successful diversification, then Safetell is surely its most compelling example.

But while its ability to do so is now proven, it's still just near the start of what should be a hugely rewarding journey.

And of course the Newmark Security group as a whole enjoys many growth opportunities.

From NWT's 8th. October 2024 investor presentation: "Newmark Security: 2024 growth plans and financial update - Proactive One2One Investor Forum" - from the slide at 21:22:-

... 5. Diversify: Having thoroughly

researched and planned for a

diversified marketplace strategy,

aimed at the lucrative HCM end-

user D2E market, in FY24 we

created a new premium offering,

GT Time, shaped to target this

opportunity. GT Time is

marketplace-ready, with per-

employee-per-month pricing and

combines the choice of our new

entry or premium products with

our market leading services,

connected via GT Connect. This will

be launched in FY25 targeting

global HCM marketplaces such as

Oracle and Workday with other

similar partnerships already being

developed. As a substantial

milestone achievement, at the end

of FY24 we secured a Partnership

Programme agreement with the

first one of these brand leaders,

Oracle, and will begin marketing

through this channel in FY25."

strategy to increase market

penetration, we introduced the

entry-level GT4 Lite timeclock, with

services attached through GT

intentionally designed as a

software-limited edition of our

successful GT4 product. This

approach makes use of software

controls that enable us to extend

the value of previous R&D

investments without requiring

further development.

By combining sliding-scale product

pricing and our connected services,

we are able to offer our leading

proposition to a broader market.

Our compelling offer, aimed at

displacing lower cost competition

and building longer-term recurring

revenue, has already proven to be

highly successful in FY24 and this

will continue to be a strategy we

pursue going forward. As we have

demonstrated, this has the dual

benefit of accelerating the shift

from hardware-only fixed margin

contracts to long-term annual

recurring revenue subscriptions as

sole suppliers of our full range of

devices, all with attached services."

21st Nov 2024 12:51 pm RNS Recovery of Costs from Amcomri Group Limited

"The Company announced on 28 August 2024 that it had received a written response from Amcomri Group Limited ("Amcomri") disputing the amount claimed from them by Rockpool by way of reimbursement of costs incurred in relation to the aborted acquisition of Amcomri, from which Amcomri withdrew in April of this year. In its response Amcomri offered the sum of £370,000 in final settlement of its liability to Rockpool. The Company stated in its announcement of 28 August that it intended to pursue recovery of the full amount of £543,000 that it had demanded from Amcomri.

The parties have now reached a settlement of this matter, with Amcomri agreeing to pay to Rockpool the sum of £452,500 by no later than 16th December 2024. This payment will be in satisfaction of all the claim for costs and all Rockpool's other potential claims against Amcomri or any of the other parties to the letter of intent entered into with regards to the Amcomri acquisition.

Needless to say, the Board of Rockpool is disappointed that Amcomri has refused to meet its contractual obligations, but feel that in order to avoid the costs, time and uncertainty of pursuing Amcomri through the courts, settling in this manner is the preferable course of action. The Board believes that the settlement will also provide certainty for any alternative potential acquisition targets with whom the Board may engage in discussions. The Board of the Company will now step up its efforts to identify, and agree terms with, a suitable target.

It's been reported just this week that Workday UK has been doubling down on its investment and partnerships ... and with fantastic results:-

"Workday's UK profits soar as it doubles down on investment and partnerships

The US group's division has reported a pre-tax profit of $39.5m (£30.6m) for the 12 months to 31 January, 2024, according to newly-filed accounts with Companies House.

By Jon Robinson www.cityam.com

11:18, 11 NOV 2024

The UK arm of software giant Workday, has seen its profit nearly double in its most recent financial year. The US group reported a pre-tax profit of $39.5m (£30.6m) for the 12 months ending 31 January, 2024, as per the latest accounts filed with Companies House.

This is a significant increase from the previous year's pre-tax profit of $21.3m (£16.5m). The company's UK turnover also increased from $253.2m (£196.3m) to $264.4m (£205m) during the same period, as reported by City AM.

Workday collaborates with over 35% of the FTSE 100 companies, including Diageo, Lloyds, GSK and Rolls-Royce, as well as public sector organisations such as the Crown Commercial Service, Department for Education and The National Archives.
