Posted at 14/10/2019 09:25 by financeguru yes I have received my divi (HL) and I agree with the last post... so I have sold out to the market about 10 mins ago. not taking the risk that the deal falls apart. Good luck all |
Posted at 14/10/2019 09:10 by epo001 Wasn't a divi meant to be paid on Friday? Haven't seen mine in iWeb yet.Buyout price 583p, current selling price about 580.4p. As much currency fluctuations as anything from now. News feed suggests little likelihood of a competing offer so $7.40 it is and I'm quite happy with that. |
Posted at 16/5/2019 11:54 by epo001 Is this likely to be affected when US markets open? And why is dividend in USD anyway? |

Posted at 18/1/2019 18:35 by r9505571 Are you just talking about Soph or generally buying on bad news and selling on recovery? |
Posted at 18/1/2019 16:55 by fuji99 Borg - I personally think the update is not as dramatic as translated by today drop. Soph has always recovered because any excuse is taken to justify a battering. I also bought today a few thousands at and under £3. I will keep half with my older holding untouched for the full recovery and any possible takeover bid (we never know) and will start taking some profit from £4 with the other half. |
Posted at 03/1/2019 17:36 by fuji99 I cannot find any negative news at all - Even on the sector.So IMO perhaps these drops are the best opportunity to top up or buy first time SOPH shares. The more we move forward in time, the more cyber-crime will increase exponentially. As financial transactions and competition increase, data and money theft will increase as this is now becoming more and more a "lucrative business" for all type of criminals. The share price is now where it was roughly 18 months ago. So my plan is to see it hit £5 before taking initial profit then leave the rest to run as cyber-protection demand will increase impacting on SOPH numbers. This is also a good provision in case, just in case, SOPH is taken over which could be a logical outcome as most UK technology companies were snapped up (from ARM, Autonomy, Logica to London Bridge etc.). This is my 2019 plan for SOPH ! |

Posted at 05/1/2018 12:20 by 3rd eye SOPH Sophos.....HargreaveInvestment idea #4 Sophos Group - benefit from the cyber threat A string of high-profile hacks mean the consequences of not investing in cyber security are all too evident. Perhaps no surprise then, that companies are scrambling to shore up their cyber defences. Sophos Group, a company providing software to protect small and medium-sized businesses, should benefit from this. The group uses a network of over 30,000 independent partners to sell and distribute its products. Over 100m users in 150 countries now rely on it for IT security and Sophos says the market is worth in the region of £40bn, and growing quickly. It is the only company to offer a high standard of both network and end user protection. This means customers benefit from a joined up service under a centralised system. Contracts run for up to five years, retention rates are impressive and last year Sophos generated an average of 29% more business from contracts up for renewal. At present, the company is focused on investing in this opportunity rather than paying dividends, meaning the prospective yield is just 0.8%. With impressive growth, Sophos's potential hasn't gone unnoticed by the market though. The shares have enjoyed a strong run recently, and trade on a premium valuation of 85 times expected earnings. We’re not put off by the high rating, but it certainly adds a layer of risk. If the company fails to deliver on the market’s high expectations, the share price could suffer. Part of the reason the rating is so high is that accounting convention means Sophos's near-term earnings look artificially low. The costs of winning a contract are accounted for up-front, but the revenues are spread over the life of the deal. For example, the group generated $133m of free cash flow last year, compared to adjusted profits of $38m. We often look at a company and say profits look great, but where is the cash? With Sophos, in the short-term at least, it's the other way round. Given the choice, this is how we'd like it. After all, it's not without justification they say cash is king. |
