Excellent looking product launch this morning, remember with the net cash you are still getting the business for virtually free, nonsense price:


ANT (LSE AIM: ANTP), an established provider of software and services for the delivery of digital TV, today announces the launch of ANT Galio Move. This addition to the ANT Galio software family is ANT's first entry into the companion device market. Maximising the functionality of today's set-top boxes ("STBs") and TVs, ANT Galio Move enables broadcasters, operators and TV and STB vendors to offer extended live TV viewing on companion devices, such as the Apple iPad, responding directly to the growing demand by viewers for a 'TV everywhere' experience.

ANT Galio Move allows users to stream live and recorded content directly from the STB or TV via Wi-Fi to their companion device anywhere in the home, opening up a range of new viewing scenarios. Users can use the tablet to watch the same live programme as the main TV in a different room, watch a separate live programme or view recorded content stored on the STB or TV hard drive.

Industry analysts have stated that seventy per cent of portable device owners use these whilst watching TV. ANT Galio Move supports the development of new business opportunities for STB and TV vendors with the prospect of application sales and advertising revenues. For broadcasters and operators it enables the delivery of additional valuable content direct to the companion device, signalled from a live broadcast stream.

Oh how I dream of the Arbuthnot, 60p, Strong Buy, price target..!!

[chrisdgb] 22/8/2011 09:26

results next week, let us hope the positive PR has been cranked up..!!

[chrisdgb] 19/8/2011 08:11

Autonomy takeover/premium just shows how highly valued software companies can be....we could do with some of that recognition here....

[chrisdgb] 18/8/2011 09:36

Decent trades via Arbuthnot yesterday, I suspect market now very tight in these...should be moving up quite nicely...get buying..

[chrisdgb] 12/8/2011 08:39

See trade going through, having to pay more than the offer, so let us hope we recover strongly into the interims and the company make sure there is some decent news for us....trading now still slightly below net cash..!!

[chrisdgb] 09/8/2011 14:25

no one fancy buying a business for free....!!??

[chrisdgb] 08/8/2011 11:51

Well poor markets throw up great opportunities....this is a classic one, now trading BELOW net cash.......

[chrisdgb] 27/7/2011 12:33

Yes all very frustrating, trading probably at cash now....need a really good contract announcement to make people realise or just a takeover at 40p per share will do..!!

[yangou] 25/7/2011 10:50

It sure would chris. This one seems to have a lead ballon tied to it.

[chrisdgb] 25/7/2011 09:42

Decent looking results from Amino today, points to a positive sector, would be nice to get some positive progress here..

From the ANT blog:

Connected TV sales show strong trend worldwide
Sales of connected TVs are set to boom. That's not just our view but it's an opinion shared by analysts at DisplaySearch in a new report published this week.

According to the DisplaySearch Quarterly TV Design and Features Report a quarter of all flat panel TVs shipped this year are expected to be internet ready. That number is set to grow to 138 million units by 2015. DisplaySearch predicts that within four years connected TVs will account for almost half of all flat panel TVs shipped.

It's a trend that is common to both developed markets as consumers upgrade their televisions, and emerging markets, which typically have good broadband services. The common motivation for consumers is a drive to access the best content and services.

[chrisdgb] 21/7/2011 14:41

I agree, hopefully more contracts and some press coverage will get things going...otherwise another company probably will..!!

[tech] 21/7/2011 14:35

Still holding looking very good value at these levels, good licence deal recently.

[chrisdgb] 21/7/2011 14:24

market looking firmer now, a couple more buys and we will be moving higher..

[exotic] 19/7/2011 12:23

The Throgmorton Trust PLC seem to be unwinding their position in ANT, per RNS yesterday. Heading for a new one year low.

[chrisdgb] 19/7/2011 09:58

disappointing to see anything but postive moves in this cash rich bargain..

[chrisdgb] 15/7/2011 08:13

Surprised to see the downward move yesterday, decent volume looked like it was on the buy side...

time to top up soon..

[chrisdgb] 13/7/2011 09:24

I know but as a reminder:

£5.8m market cap with £5m cash....

Downside zero, upside multi bagger....

[yangou] 06/7/2011 16:28

Also 2nd half nap tip in Techinvest. This does test your patience though.

[chrisdgb] 06/7/2011 11:03

Yes HAR certainly is interesting....but I am going to disagree with you on ANT..!!

It is a bargain, yes there have been some delays but the sector is going places and the software is clearly good....

Still convinced we should be closer to 40p...

Arbuthnot in June reiterated their 60p target...

[paleje] 05/7/2011 11:13

Worth looking at Harvard imo, they're a turnround situation, admittedly facing tough retail market but they know where they're going now, back in profit, no debt and 16m cash in the bank. All for a 13m cap company.

Out of ANT for now, they don't inspire confidence.
