[shroder] 04/2/2010 12:59

Size going thru' at the offer.

Lots of resistance at the 140 level, not sure on the latest position re the share buybacks although I was told it would continue into 2010.

[shroder] 16/12/2009 08:10

ex-div today for 3.7p

[shroder] 08/12/2009 07:23

Cracking set of results, divi up 11%, cash up £8.1m after share buy backs.

[shroder] 27/11/2009 12:03

Broker 'buy' note out last week could explain the rise, highlight below.

BUY

Alternative Network's 1st October trading update indicated results in line with market expectations. The question for this stock is where we can find growth in an otherwise unexciting income statement, the answer is acquisition.

Strong cash generation can buy earnings andlittle credit is given for cash in a limited freefloat, low growth environment where the dividend is not as high as it could be.

Buybacks make sense to boost eps, but frustrate the investment case otherwise. In anticipation of an acquisition generating earnings from unappreciated cash, buy now, but institutional amounts of stock are hard to come by.

Unusual announcement, may looks like they had a few today -

"In order to be able to buy back shares during the Company's Close Period,
Alternative Networks PLC announces that it has entered into an irrevocable,
non-discretionary programme with Investec Bank plc to purchase up to 1,000,000
Ordinary Shares on its own behalf, for cancellation during its close period
which commences on 9 October, 2009 and ends on 8 December 2009. "

Redsone buys IDN Telecom for £11.8m cash, this should be good for Alternative Networks share price Roughly 9 x pbt

[azalea] 21/11/2006 08:19

Dipped my toe in this morning for 2300 shares. With volumes picking up I think there could be a nice little run up to the results (6/12), which should very good.

Decent RNS - this share is on the move. Off radar and consolidation still rife in this sector.

LONDON (AFX) - Alternative Networks plc, a UK business-to-business
communications reseller, said it is on track to meet full year expectations.
In a trading update the group said trading in the second half since March
2006 has continued in line with market expectations, with both revenue and
profit growth giving confidence for a successful financial year.
Chief executive James Murray said trading over the last few months has been
solid. The group has integrated ICB into the wider group, signed a number of
significant deals and strengthened the product offering, he said.
The continual improvement to the customer base has led to a higher number of larger customers, and the cross-strategy selling continues to raise the number of customers taking multiple products, he added.
Murray said the group is well placed to exploit the gradual shift to
combined mobile and fixed communications services for larger SME and smaller
corporate customers. And it is confident of being able to sustain healthy
margins and strong cash generation.
"The progress during the half gives me confidence for the future," he
concluded.
