More stuff on the procurement of Palantirs 240m recent MOD contract in the HoC today. Heat certainly on them and can only be good for UK (especially SMEs) defence companies for forward contracts.

Yes agree that the CEX announcement made pre contract announcement is a very strong possibility.

They may not retrospectively take contracts away but will be very wary of awarding future ones = good news for DH.

Will open blue...let's hope it stays that way throughout the day.

The 240m contract awarded to Palantir has been dragged into the Mandelson scandal as the opposition have just raised it in Parliament....interesting, maybe watch this space?

Let's us hope 0.4 is indeed the bottom soon!!

Investors shouldn't be worried about the gradual decline of the SP. This is entirely normal for a SME waiting significant news. It happened in Nov/Dec and look what happened with a couple of positive RNS'. We should hear soon about both Ixian and the new CEX and that will be transformational for the company so I am patiently holding in the firm belief exciting news is just round the corner.

Watch the bounce here.

A UT trade brought the price down to 0.0975 so should open up nicely on Monday...

Good recovery today. Buys now outplay sells.

That is due to automatic stop buys at 1.5p

The new CEX starts in q2 so the announcement will be before then you would assume . He is serving his notice period at the moment so hopefully his identity will be known imminently.

“We are currently investing in our IT but compared to other forces, our systems are extremely dated and are incapable of running the latest software, such as facial recognition, or some Artificial Intelligence. This is frustrating and exposes communities to unnecessary risks.

Would be great if DH were one of the first 30 pathfinders as mentioned in the article.

Hopefully good news for DH?

The idea is to develop new AI tools for police officers to help with things like going through CCTV footage and transcribing/redacting documents. This is potentially fabulous news for DH who are already doing this with Gloucestershire Constabulary.

Hippy...thanks and yes was aware of that. But my point is that any raise won't happen (in my view) before a) the new CEX is in place b) they have announced some contrcat wins c) the sp is considerably higher than it is now (which will result when a and b happen). So I don't think any fundraise will happen before at least q3 so not anytime soon.

Not sure where all this talk of a raise has come from other than people mistakingly thinking they can influence the sp. The drop today was due to many more sells than buys esp a lot of the grey trades. News can drop anytime soon on some major milestones so I am quietly buying too on these dips.

Agree Warrie ....we know positive news is due soon from the last few RNS' but the beauty of the company is also to spring unexpected positive news too from nowhere such as Gloucestershire Police and the appointment of Mr Clover this week.
