SNIFF TEST - TARANA28 Nov 2024 13:24
As usual this just doesnt add up, and doesnt pass the basic sniff test.
1. Standard field deployment is all product on same release / update, massive cost reduction / technical simplicity 2. ENET knew about their RNS on "orders through H2" was incorrect months ago and failed to inform the market, probably a few week before CFO resignation 3. The silence from Allenby coverage on 12 Nov is evidence they knew 3. Xilinx increased chip prices 10%/20% a few weeks ago, but this is the same for all and doesnt put ENET at a disadvantage and is industry knowledge 4. A 20% increase at 70% margin is a 6% increase, so could easily be swallowed in the "target price" 5. Key EITHER TARANA NEED TO UNITS OR THEY DONT. They are no going to stop ship for a reduced product margin with substantial high margin down the chain ongoing AAS revenues- if they are IPOing they need to show sales growth is not slowing and need to grab the market while the opportunity is still there 6. Absolutely no mention of second generation product development....hmmmm.
Despite the very,very high reengineering cost to Tarana, I just think they may have shown ENET the door due to unacceptable supplier risk and inability to deliver. An RNS in accordance with LSE rules would help clarify. I cant believe PATT may have been correct on this one.
So if this is what their long standing and largest customer thinks of ENET, originally contracting when they were solvent, I'm sure someone would want to bung them multi millions of $ to develop an ASIC ?
I think the telco dartboard in DLs office must have a lot of holes, we've had the FTTH, FTTR, PON (where's Julie by the way), UEP of various guises through the years - all no brainer products / instant ROI / at the finish line and all providing zero market traction, and now ASICS.
Anyone looking at this RNS and thinking DL will deliver, can I please have your dealers phone number.
