nice contract win

[wilksey1] 12/3/2013 12:18

blimey 2x 1000000 buys gone through must be a good sign, cant understand why the selling though.

[wilksey1] 12/3/2013 10:15

very quite here.

Investec maintains buy rating but lowers proce target to 160p



It is worth noting that the forecast is for half the revenue growth rate, not a revenue decline. Perhaps E2V were too bullish on previoous growth estimates but I don't recall this???

I was surprised that sentiment changed so significantly from last update and not just in one area. It seems that things are going wrong on a number of fronts so is it:-

Bad forecasting
Bad planning
Bad markets
Bad management

Take the money and run i feel

[sasannach] 31/1/2013 09:04

Just sold. Something doesn't feel right here and I'm nervous about the mixed messages. Hope I'm wrong.

[monkeymagic3] 31/1/2013 08:55

Sasannach. I agree, First reaction was a purchase for a longer term hold but read the RNS again and I am not so sure.

[sasannach] 31/1/2013 08:53

Is this time to bail or a good buying opportunity?

Half year - H1 was down on previous year, but margin was up and debt down. H2 forecast more than H1?

IMS - H2 is less rev growth than expected but still above H1. Debt down considerably, partly due to land sale.

Wording in the IMS doesn't feel very positive. I'm more nervous that they talk about less growth when it looks to be a business in decline when compared to 2012.

ooooooffffff!!!!

[altras] 16/1/2013 12:33

Don't know.

Can some of the more experienced posters fill us in?

I do believe there will be an ~ 5% rise leading up to the end of Jan. Just a guess looking at the charts.

[wilksey1] 16/1/2013 12:20

[tom111] 14/11/2012 10:22

Strange i just bought these at 110p although it shows 114p not complaining

[simon gordon] 05/11/2012 17:04

Share going into a no man's land between 110p and 85p. Weeekly cloud support broken two weeks ago.

[naked trader] 31/10/2012 22:31

Moving in the right direction now giving me a buy signal, support at 110, time to buy me thinks!

[contrarian2investor] 11/10/2012 12:15

Mixed bag of an update. Remains on my watch-list.

[contrarian2investor] 10/10/2012 21:33

I have had these on my watchlist for a while and if their update is any good tomorrow then I will be making a purchase. GLA.

I have had my computer take over by a trojan around 12.50 today. after opening an unpleasant e-mail I was sent at 12.42PM . I opened the E-mail and it said,
" your pall lol"

I closed the e-mail and then found my computer could not start.
I have rebooted the computer only by using my anti virus, in safe mode.

E2v Aids Mars landing

E2V IMAGING SENSORS USED IN NASA'S MARS LANDING

E2v Aerospace and Defense Inc. said Monday that NASA's most advanced rover, Curiosity, which contains e2v's imaging sensors equipment, landed on the planet Mars after a 36-week flight.

The Milpitas-based company specializes in engineering technologies for global systems companies, including NASA and Freescale Semiconductor.

E2v Aerospace and Defense's parent company, e2v Inc., is headquartered in Chelmsford, United Kingdom, while e2v Aerospace and Defense moved to Santa Clara in 2008 after acquiring QP Semiconductor. The branch relocated to D.R. Stephens & Co.'s Milpitas research and development building in late 2011.

The company's technology takes photographs and analyses rocks as well as detecting x-rays.

Curiosity was sent to Mars in November 2011 on a two-year exploration to determine whether the Red Planet's environment can support life. The rover was sent to Mars on the Atlas V rocket as part of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Mission.

Investec retains its BUY recommendation for E2v with a target price of 190p.

Supplies Kuiper Belt Project

E2V TO SUPPLY LARGE CMOS IMAGING SENSORS FOR IMAGING KUIPER BELT OBJECTS

TAOS II will measure the size distribution of small objects (~1 km diameter) at the edge of our solar system in the Kuiper Belt and beyond.

These objects are of scientific interest because they provide important information on the formation and dynamic evolution of the Solar System. TAOS II will operate three medium sized telescopes at the Observatorio Astronomico Nacional (OAN) at San Pedro Martir (SPM) in Baja California, Mexico.

Paul Ho, the director of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ASIAA) said "TAOS II is a major initiative at the ASIAA to work at the frontier of time-domain astrophysics, and solar system exploration.

The new CMOS sensor technology from e2v enables fast and sensitive astronomical observations over a large focal area. This opens up a new research field for fast time variable science in Astronomy. We are looking forward to working with these devices and deploying them on our new telescopes at San Pedro de Martir."
