What's "occuring"

[ukinvestor220] 15/9/2009 10:57

There seems to be quite a lot of institutional take up here. Blackrock just increased again.
BTW that Growth Co rec was a take profits and hold for the upside not a reduce!!
Results not due for a while but there could be an interim or other stat.

[darcon] 01/7/2009 07:15

Not many companies out there at the moment that can truthfully say they are growing, in a growing market, increasing their net cash and debt-free.

Results will be out this week

[greenslug] 05/5/2009 21:10

Bought a few last week. Look forward to the int. results, late next month I think. I expect the general market to be turbulent in the meantime.

[sunnysc] 05/5/2009 16:15

anyone still in this - nice rise after statement today.

[sunnysc] 22/4/2009 17:20

lonely here

[sunnysc] 21/4/2009 12:48

Yup - I've just got back in to them - in anticipation of latest trading update (end of April presumably)... wonder if if the good news is priced in, given AGM statement? Think they will over deliver tho...

[dosser2] 15/3/2009 01:11

Is there anybody still out there?

[aim_trader] 06/2/2009 13:14

"The consensus estimate for 2009 (courtesy of Canaccord Adams, Teathers and Investec) are revenues of approximately £52.3 million and profit before tax of £8.8 million, rising to £63.3 million and £10.6 million respectively in 2010. If Research Now can hit those targets, today's valuation will look light."

Research Now is still motoring

Is there anybody out there?
===============================================
Yes!

I've recently bought back into RNOW (also bought a bit of YouGov) as long term investments.

IMO they both have good growth prospects through the recession.

[dosser2] 25/1/2009 00:07

Is there anybody out there?

[darcon] 18/9/2008 16:31

The good news just keeps on coming. It seems they are putting all the pieces in place to create a leading global online market research company!

If the share price doesn't rise then I am sure some media players or private equity players will become interested in picking up a bargain



LAUNCH OF ASIAN OPERATIONS

Chinese JV and New Asian Panels


The Board of Research Now plc ("Research Now" or the "Group"), a leading global online
fieldwork provider to the market research
industry, is pleased to announce the launch of its Asian operations.

The Group will initially be represented by two new operations in the region. The first in
Shanghai, through a 75% owned joint venture in
China in which local investors hold the balance, and the second in Singapore through a
wholly-owned subsidiary. In addition to the new
operations, the Group has also launched eight new proprietary online panels in the region to
support the growing international demand for
Asian opinion. The new Research Now owned online panels are in China, Japan, Singapore,
Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea and India.
The Asia-Pacific team at Research Now will be headed up by Jason Buchanan, Managing Director,
Asia-Pacific.

Commenting on the launch, Jason Buchanan said:

"We are extremely excited to be rolling out our proven panel model in Asia. Expansion into
this region follows demand from our existing
client base worldwide for proprietary access to consumer opinions in one of the fastest
growing economic areas in the world. Establishing
offices on the ground in Asia will enable us to extend the highest quality level of service to
new and existing clients local to the
region."

Chris Havemann, CEO of Research Now added:

"Since our IPO in 2005, Research Now has successfully established itself as the market
leader in Europe and one of the fastest-growing
online panel companies in North America. Expansion into Asia will give us true proprietary
panel coverage across each of the major regions
of the world, a presence in Singapore and entry into China, fast becoming one of the world's
largest research markets".

Well, as predicted by commentators on this board RNOW has brought news of a significant B to B initiative with the signing of the agreement with Reed. This is potentially company transforming as new sources of revenue are opened.

Someone picked-up approx £700k worth of shares yesterday so despite all the doom and gloom with the banks and commodities this is one little growth stock that at least one large investor believes shows promise.

Agreement with Reed Business Information to create specialist "b2b" panels

Research Now plc (AIM:RNOW), a leading international online fieldwork provider to the
market research industry, is pleased to announce
the signing of an agreement to create specialist business-to-business ("b2b") panels with Reed
Business Information UK ("RBI"), part of
Europe's largest online and offline b2b publisher. RBI brings over 100 market leading brands
to an audience of 30 million decision makers
worldwide through its multi-platform media of web products, magazines, exhibitions,
conferences and industry awards.

Research Now and RBI will build, operate and sell access to co-branded online panels
constructed from specialist business professionals,
drawn from the website users and magazine readers of RBI's publications. The first specialist
panel of b2b industry decision makers will be
"IT Decision Makers".

Commenting on the agreement, Chris Havemann, Chief Executive of Research Now, said:

"This agreement with RBI marks a significant new step in Research Now's development as one
of the world's leading online panel
specialists. Previously, all our market research panels have been consumer-based. Now, for the
first time, thanks to the unparalleled access
to industry decision makers afforded by RBI, we have the means to start providing our clients
with highly targeted, specialist b2b opinion
in key business sectors."

Head of Research at Reed Business Information, Diane Lewis, commented:

"This is an exciting initiative for RBI. Our partnership with Research Now provides us
with access to a wealth of panel management
experience to construct b2b panels that create a unique audience community and enhance the
brand experience for our website users and
magazine readers."
