28/7/2004 07:49 | Signs of life again. Fins are 14/09 this year, is it too late for a trading update before the closed period? | martincc | |
04/6/2004 12:33 | techinvest said some positive things based on what we already know. | weatherman | |
04/6/2004 10:05 | Have these been tipped today somewhere? Or maybe another trading update imminent? (issued one early July last year) | martincc | |
08/5/2004 09:47 | Gilty - I'm amazed these have not beled away. I'm not sure going for big divi's is the weay to wealth. I tend to go for strong growth with preferable a divi yield of a respectable amount. If the growth comes through, the divi rises and then you have a stock sought after by the high growth and high yield hunters. I really think punters never read the trading statement properly. It DOES NOT SAY "an 'exceptional' substantial royalty payment" It SAY "an 'exceptionally' substantial royalty payment". This doesn't mean that the royalty payment is a 'one off', it means that the royalty payment was very large, but there may well be more very large royalty payments. Strong growth on a low pe and a 3.4% yield - beat's the banks including Lloyds imo - they've had a high yield for some time but the shareprice has languished. MAO will be a lot higher come the results imo. CR | cockneyrebel | |
23/4/2004 10:06 | CR - yes I saw that - the IC seems to be worried about the prospects for the BIL products that in their words "Macro 4 has staked its future on" but has turned buyer in hope of a dividend increase from the IBM royalties. I guess it is worth considering (I am not a holder) but what's holding me back is that thought that if I wanted an income investment, I'd buy Lloyds. Then again, if high yields do tend to be a useful predictor of future performance, perhaps I shouldn't let my perception of MAO as a growth stock hold me back | gilty | |
23/4/2004 08:55 | Mentioned in Investors Chronicle today - says they have been cautious on the stock but in the light of the recent trading statement MAO are now worthy of buying. Probably get a few read that over the coming weekend and more buying next week imo. CR | cockneyrebel | |
21/4/2004 08:27 | From Yahoo broker recommendations..... Arbuthnot reiterates buy Woolworths and says buy Northgate , Kewill and Costain. The broker has upgraded Macro 4 (LSE: MAO.L - news) to buy from hold. | martincc | |
20/4/2004 12:31 | 2004 £2.4m = 7.7p eps 2005 £3.1m = 9.7p eps The upgrade to £3.6 to 3.9m is more than 2005 forecast. That should now be ungraded too. IBM SMI business is now beginning to bear fruit. This is on top of the BIL business. I estimate new eps numbers will be 11.5 to 12.5p eps this year, assuming tax rates the same. 2005 numbers may now be upgraded by 10 to 20% from new 2004 figures, say 13 to 15p. all imo.

20/4/2004 08:23 | apparently when mail tipped em they said future earnings were the appeal big profits kick in 2005/6!! back to a tenner please. | bigbobjoylove | |
20/4/2004 07:05 | According to my info, Peel Hunt were forecasting profits of £4.2m so profits will be below forecasts on that basis. Can anyone explain? EDIT: I can also see a Peel Hunt forecast of £2.6m so I guess the first one was an error. | gzr | |
20/4/2004 06:38 | Macro 4 PLC 20 April 2004 20 April 2004 Macro 4 Trading Update Macro 4 plc, a leading provider of Systems Management Software and Document Management solutions, today provides an update on its expected financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2004. The Board believes the Group will significantly exceed current market profit forecasts and estimates its profits (PBTae) for the current financial year will be in the range £3.6 million to £3.9 million (2003: £1.8 million). The Group's results have been helped by tight management of costs as well as the receipt of an exceptionally substantial royalty payment from its OEM agreement with IBM.

07/3/2004 10:39 | Reasonably positive update from today's Mail on Sunday.... Rewards for the brave INVESTORS who keep an eye on software companies want to know when customers are about to resume spending - and Macro 4 is making encouraging noises. The company, which sells software for mainframe computers and has a newer arm providing document management systems, has indicated that market conditions are improving. Its statement last month came with results for the six months to 31 December that showed the benefit of cost cuts. Profits of £1.2m compared with break-even last time. The company has also focused on cash management and ended the half-year with cash of £3.2m and net* debt of £4m. The shares, at 167 1/2p, value Macro 4 at £34.8mn. They trade at 22 times forecast earnings per share for this year, but the multiple falls sharply on estimates for coming years and there is a dividend* yield* of 3.4%. Midas verdict: Macro 4 is in a transitional stage as it seeks to maintain the solid returns of the mainframe business while winning new customers for the documents arm. Signs of a pick-up in demand are slight but if you are brave enough to dive in and recovery comes, the shares should reward. | martincc | |
