It is interesting to see sales growth in Europe/Rest of the world and North America in the tables.
The list of shareholders is also given at the end.

As we move forward in time, the skeptics "analysts" will get pretty nasty surprises. It seems they missed many important factors: 1/ The market and the sectors for DT cyber protection deployment are limitless - Basically any sector. 2/ They ignore the way DT tackles cyber protection by using Artificial Intelligence is disruptive. 3/ They ignore that DT is evolving with the sophistication of cyber attacks by creating new products that will take it miles away from any prospective competitor. I can safely conclude that many organisations/institutions/companies will leave the classical way of cyber protection to joining DT which is more up to date to the new sophisticated threats. I am thinking about China and Russia with their armies of hackers trying to get by any means state secrets, industrial and high tech advances from the west. DT has already shown that the classical protection is obsolete - Read for yourselves and this is all the difference with others and this is an example of real and practical disruption:
"The technology saw early success when it was deployed at a major power station in the UK, where it helped identify highly unusual and threatening activity within the company that had gone unnoticed by traditional security controls.
Today, this fundamental technology powers the entire range of Darktrace security solutions, used across 6,500 organizations worldwide."

Day trading is like in the casino. Don't watch the instant stock movements unless the company has flagged up a serious fundamental problem. Just keep cool. DT is ticking all the right boxes following today Trading Update. Your £4.60 entry price may easily become £10.60 after April finals...

Value: You need to review one thing: To understand what long term investing means.

Cheers CR !
I think you should view DT as a long term investment. The daily fluctuations and blips will look just like invisible dots in its 5 year chart. So I m not concerned by daily spikes/highs or lows. I have topped up a few times when it was below £4 and will hold for a few years to maximise the potential.

I am a strong believer that DARK is using very sophisticated specific tools difficult to replicate to create something that hackers and cyber criminals cannot understand or catch up. Organisations and companies are starting to understand the sophistication of threats and the cost of cyber blackmail. The proof is in the jump in the number of customers from more than 6500 to 5500 in just 6 months. How much companies secretly pay behind the scene to criminals when they are held for ransom ? How this compares to signing for DARK protection ? Peanuts. The disruptive nature of DARK business which is changing the way cyber security is handled in the future is shown through the advances made via new products such as "Prevent". As customer base is growing, I am afraid DARK may be taken over by a bigger fish in order to use its huge customer list for cross selling its own products in addition to DARK's. A win/win situation. I only hope this will happen when the SP is already at least over £20.

This is what makes DARK unique in this sector. Using Artificial Intelligence by evolving all the time to be upfront and a mile away from hackers who introduce non-stop sophisticated new threats . No wonder why the number of customers jumped from 5500 to over 6500 in just 6 months. Meaning that in less than 2 years they will hit at least 10.000 customers which is a record !

Berenberg already fixed on £10 a few times. See "Dark Broker Rating" in LSE section above.

Cybersecurity is a strategic sector that is insensitive to any economic changes. The more the world becomes connected, the more sophisticated cyber attacks are and will be. Organisations/companies must protect themselves all the time to keep business continuity flowing regardless of economic situation. Thus why Darktrace will always prosper under any economic and geopolitical circumstances.

The novel unique approach for cyber security using extensive Artificial Intelligence made DARK a unique cyber company. As I mentioned it yesterday, DARK cyber protection EVOLVES with time and does not stagnate as the threat modes keep changing quickly via sophistication. DARK way if like an invisible shadow protecting the client all the time. This is why the customer base is growing exponentially to over 6000. In just a few years time, this will exceed 10.000 customers meaning it will be the de-facto cyber security firm to be with, ending up dominating the cyber market. Thus why it is just a matter of time before being taken over.

This is why this company means business: 1/ Customer base growing exponentially from 5500 to over 6500 in just a few months. 2/ New Products and new ways of strengthening protection are always a mile ahead of cyber criminals: "In December, we delivered the first module of our new Prevent product line to early adopters. This is the next logical step in fulfilling our vision of creating a CONTINUOUS AI Loop, a virtuous circle that equips customers with a suite of technologies that strengthen and reinforce each other. The power of our innovative underlying technology, Self-Learning AI, enables us to expand our ability to protect organisations from the cyber threats of today and tomorrow."

Good news has already started.

DARK is only one of the very few cyber security companies using Artificial Intelligence for intrusion detection and protection against threats. I would also add that not all cyber security companies have 5500 customers, 70 patents and operating in more than 110 countries - and growing fast as DARK is at present. The classical protection procedures against cyber attacks are completely outdated as the cyber criminals operate in many cases, in organised groups as a mafia with sometimes, former/retired experts in cyber security joining them to make as much money as possible and fast. on a 24 hour basis they research ways to find the weakest points from various softwares used by every company. This is an example: "The technology saw early success when it was deployed at a major power station in the UK, where it helped identify highly unusual and threatening activity within the company that had gone unnoticed by traditional security controls." - "In contrast to other AI approaches, which require data to be cleansed, labelled and moved to a centralized repository, Darktrace brings the AI to your data, wherever it lives. Whether it’s in the cloud and on email systems, across Operational Technologies or traditional networks and infrastructure, Self-Learning AI can be applied to any of these systems, without requiring data migration. It learns from scratch, and constantly evolves its understanding as the data environment changes." - So this is a unique approach to cyber security when one understand this expression: "constantly evolves its understanding as the data environment changes". It basically pinpoints and replicates "any virus new variants", thus why they created what they call "Enterprise and Industrial immune systems".

DARK applications are limitless and can protect every sector where computers are used. From banking, mining, farming, to high tech. Cybersecurity is thus a sector that is vital during any economic cycle.

Sorry ! Read SFO instead of SEC !!!... Too much drinks !

The Saudi oil minister gave a warning about the lack of investment in oil infrastructure and exploration. I am convinced that 2022 will be the year when PFC will be flooded with orders and long term projects. This will return the company to excellent cash generation and profitability. This will definitely kick start dividends. So the logical investment rule is to buy/top up and hold for a minimum of 2/3 years to maximise returns.
