It would be announced on the 10th June if there is one. Results in line with market expectation, double digit growth in second half, and if there is a cherry - a fat juicy US contract. Who knows?

[greg the grinch] 14/5/2014 10:20

sittin and waitin for the first US contract...... should be explosive if it is a fat one :o)

[mintitan] 02/5/2014 07:06

The trend is your friend...

At some point the call center tech will reach the stage where people are completely replaced. What value ECK then?

[malinkie] 01/5/2014 13:24

Or one fat US predator wanting to steal a march into this technology in Yankland.

[greg the grinch] 01/5/2014 11:47

One fat US contract and the price will rocket.

[greg the grinch] 01/5/2014 11:45

This is key as it shows just how large ECK can get:

"We have had a strong second half winning some excellent new contracts as well as making good progress on our strategic plans to expand our footprint in the U.S market. The significant opportunity that we believe exists there following a shift in sentiment towards data security, combined with the breadth and flexibility of our established product portfolio, gives us every reason to be optimistic about the added scale that this market could bring to Eckoh.

We remain confident that Eckoh offers a unique proposition to our customers in a global market and alongside the sales opportunities we are working on with our channel partners in the UK we look forward to continuing to create further value for our shareholders."

ECK is still cheap considering the massive growth and its all on track. I would be surprised to see many sellers. Sit tight and wait and this will multibag.

agreed. it is expensive too. what is new is the chat about the US. Veritape had US distribution, and if that market takes off, clearly the potential is enormous. With their leading position in the UK, Eckoh has great referenceability.

The Mail on Sunday will offer further support I am sure.

For the short term share price, The most important 5 words in the statement are

"in line with market expectations" I doubt there will be much of an increase now rather,in fact, it may fall a little. Markets want to hear "higher than expected"

Med/long term things look good

[mintitan] 01/5/2014 08:45

Looks like a little bit of jiggery pokery going on with the MM's this morning! Call me cynical, but probably to get hold of some cheaper stock so they can sell it higher later.

[mylands] 01/5/2014 08:16

Good statement, especially the 25% hike in the dividend. Small caps often don't think it necessary to reward shareholders when the business is growing, stating the need to conserve cash for growth. I like an income on my investments, well done ECK.

[septimus quaid] 01/5/2014 07:51

Possible accelerated windfalls after the American security breach debacle?

[snape] 01/5/2014 07:24

If Carling did share price graphs then ......

[mintitan] 01/5/2014 07:19

Super TU as expected. Especially like: "...trading for the 12 months ended 31 March 2014 saw another period of strong progression with double digit growth in both revenue and margin, resulting in a substantial increase in adjusted* profit in line with market expectations." and the 25% hike in dividend! Say it all about how confident they are in the business and how strongly they are performing. Very happy indeed"

Someone has a 40p price target, that is fine, we will wobble around a bit and then break through big time.

ECK long term has the capacity to replace call centers not just cut their costs a bit.......... what price then? x10 to x100 ?

[mintitan] 24/4/2014 15:31

Bit of a battering today. But strangely bodes well for an share price surge up on the update. Very strong rise on the build up would have blunted the uplift on the day. And reassuringly predictable; nice rises followed by dramatic fall but by not as much as the increases. Trend is your friend and the trend suggests will push past 40p nicely soon enough, possibly touching 45p ish.

[mylands] 24/4/2014 07:54

Not heard back from the FD to my request for news on the trading update release.

I will make another attempt today to elicit a response.

[reallyrich] 24/4/2014 07:24

hmmm well lucky I did not bet as I would of lost the farm

[mintitan] 23/4/2014 17:56

I suspect tomorrow too. Rises to the trading update bodes well.

[mazarin] 23/4/2014 12:59

Mylands - All noted, thanks and well done. Lets hope 'NP' is busy putting the final touches to the next tranche of Contract wins....!

[reallyrich] 23/4/2014 12:02

Tomorrow is my bet

[mylands] 23/4/2014 11:46

mazarin

Just emailed the FD to find out.

[mazarin] 23/4/2014 11:33

My thoughts exactly and in fact was expecting results yesterday. I too have been trying to anticipate the date. It would be helpful for Company Investor's website to include a 'key or significant dates for Investors' calendar.

[mylands] 23/4/2014 11:01

I see that last year the trading update for the year ending on March 31st was on April 23rd. Anyone know when the update will be released this year?

[greg the grinch] 22/4/2014 16:21

10 bagger over a few years would be fine.
