Kainos Share Discussion Threads

Well Monday morning will be interesting for sure.

I have been reviewing some of the comments on here and this forum reminded me of that investor emotion chart that is regular feature of the Behavioural Investment literature.

hxxps://wealth.barclays.com/content/dam/bwpublic/global/images/aspect-ratio-1-0/shared/White%20papers/Behavioural%20finance/fig4-cycle-of-investor-emotions.gif

I think we have certainly left the excitement / exuberance behind, that was what first caught my attention of KNOS, always a great way to avoid a costly mistake.

I think we are in the fear / desperation stage, lots of search around for a reason, there must be a reason! BREXIT, that will do! BREXIT does not make a share price fall like this. Folk who are struggling with their loss and putting more in hoping for a turnaround.

Who knows, but the trend / talk on here has me thinking the panic will strike at 150 /140. That is unless of course there is something going on other than what I put down to pure 'overvaluation'...

As always time will tell.

Any views on why the big fall on Friday? I am in same camp as reddave!!

Disappointing to see the post results share price direction so let's hope that the new appointment helps add profits to the bottom line as new busines is won:

Andy Frost joins from BAE Systems to grow private sector offering in the UK

[hazl] 10/6/2016 21:10

I think it is the sector out of favour but I would be out of here if I thought it wouldn't come back eventually.
I am with you though reddave in that I don't like averaging down.The whole stock market is wobbly now let's face it, so there's no point in chasing something here until things become clearer.
Different perhaps if you're getting in afresh.
I like to have balance in my selection but I wouldn't blame anybody for being overweight gold stocks at the moment.
Good luck folks.

After referendum business will carry on as usual no matter what the outcome government services will be digitised , Evolve expand in hospitals workDay tested
Knos will expand internationally.
I didn't expect such a downtrend personally but it seems that world government in companies books is not making any favours when seemingly everything is so uncertain.

[johnv] 10/6/2016 20:19

I think it's all down to the referendum.

[reddave999] 10/6/2016 16:31

I'm about 110p per share down at moment so finding it hard to be positive about this one. I know I should be buying whilst the price is low but I've done that more than once and it just isn't working out, I'm afraid . But good luck to those who have done well.

[hazl] 10/6/2016 14:55

I guess probably already posted but just in case.
Mixed messages perhaps but overall positive?
AnywayI had a chance to sell for a profit but decided this was worthy of keeping in the portfolio and am still happy to.
The odd dividend every now and then, the likelihood of a continued work-flow for them compared to many firms and the share price is just an incidental really except when you come to buy or sell.

IMO

Clown camp

[tintin82] 08/6/2016 18:47

Really great price action here, managed to break that stubborn 185, had to happen. Next stop IPO, then who knows how low. Exciting times if this goes sub IPO, watching closely for sure, plenty of opportunity for value sub 160.

[tolga1] 08/6/2016 16:11

On the other hand, volume low, and quick recovery possible

[tolga1] 08/6/2016 16:06

Yeah, I know the feeling, expect to drop to 165-170 range, Ce la vie

[amoore70] 08/6/2016 15:45

Looks like I was wrong and it has broken 1.80. Oh well.

[someuwin] 08/6/2016 15:34

I now suspect there was no great surge of applicants as midnight approached.It was the government who deliberately pulled the plug to sabotage the register to vote site. This has allowed Cameron to announce two extra days of registration in the hope that more young people will sign up.He knows that it is only the impressionable young and the clinically insane who would chose to stay in the corrupt and failing EU.

[firtashia] 08/6/2016 10:26

Agreed Buffy and as a long term holder I think there might be opportunities to pick up more stock at lower prices from those people who focus only on the short term. If those opportunities do not come along then I'm perfectly satisfied with my current holding for the time being.

[tolga1] 08/6/2016 10:24

Initially 1.85 appeared to be support, now seems to be resistance, to my disappointment.
Just my observation and a LTH

The reason behind the trend in the short term should also interest you.

[firtashia] 08/6/2016 09:30

Since the results came out, most of the websites I have seen containing broker forecasts have revised their numbers downwards for FY17. The most optimistic EPS forecast for FY17 I've seen appears to be similar to that actually achieved for FY16, with most websites showing less - implying earnings growth has stalled. However revs are forecast to grow by 10%. Further rev growth is also forecast for FY18 with a return to EPS growth. The trend is more interesting to me than the numbers at this stage. GLAH.

[nw99] 08/6/2016 08:19

Agreed silly comments by a desperate deramper

[por997] 08/6/2016 08:13

You can't blame KNOS for a bandwidth issue. That is ISP related.

[nw99] 08/6/2016 08:13

Buying more here this is looking very solid

[someuwin] 08/6/2016 07:10

I believe Kainos developed the government's online register to vote application.

If so, last night's high profile failure won't do their reputation much good.

[buffythebuffoon] 07/6/2016 22:24

gswredland,

An all time low? No idea. Who cares?

Buffy

[hanzoo] 07/6/2016 20:23

30% shares in hands of employees
30% in hands of management
how to take those off employees ?
take the price down to below Ipo
job done

[gswredland] 07/6/2016 17:36

I bet you are right buffy - are we heading for an all time low now?
