28/11/2016 17:42 | Does anyone know who the equivalent US market leader is in this space. I'd be amazed if Silicon Valley doesn't have a similar company in the US. How could TRAK compete in the US against them? Log | loglorry1 | |

28/11/2016 16:41 | columbarius - 25 Oct 2016 - 13:38:49 - 968 of 1133 Trading at nearly seventeen times net tangible assets. That's asking a lot and perhaps explains the downtrend given currency concerns and fear that growth is slowing. Revisiting my October post, the tangible asset backing is far worse despite the shares being significantly cheaper. It is currently trading at 46 times net tangible assets which is an absurdly generous multiple and a shorter's dream. The company seems to be busy converting tangible assets into intangibles and as such I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. | columbarius | |

28/11/2016 12:33 | Had faith but that is fading quick and fast. Concerned returns may become lower than cost on investment. | vsp2 | |
28/11/2016 11:56 | This is tough as the key metrics: revenue, recurring income, stable gross margin are good and investment in the cost base (especially in sales or marketing), as long as this is not used solely to retain existing customers, will be a key lever to accelerate growth in the future. It is a positive statement from management that they are willing to put this additional "cost" into the business to grow - "reflects the investment of over £0.6m with ten additional heads in the sales teams and an increase in marketing spend compared to the same period last year." Short term operating margin impact is ok if this is the case (even if the message from the management team has not been conveyed previously and this has "surprised" the market). Having a reasonably fixed cost, as the sales machine brings in additional revenue, we should see an acceleration in growth and improvement in bottom line margin come through in 6-12 months time. "This investment largely took place in the early months of the half year and due to the lag between sales investments and revenues has had a negative impact on profitability. However, as a consequence, the pipeline of new substantial opportunities is considerably greater than ever before." The additional overhead of £0.7m due to acquisitions is less clear. Usually acquiring businesses enables you to achieve "cost synergies" and reduce the overhead base improving margins. Maybe this was investment to develop new products? "We implemented a change in engineering leadership during the period and invested in additional engineers and the subsequent progress on project delivery has been excellent". In which case, this should again result in solid future growth prospects. I think the long-term prospects of the business remain largely unchanged, however, clearly there is some impact on short-term profitability, and the Company has really put pressure on itself to hit the year-end profit number (and will be punished by the markets if contracts slip). The above is likely to weigh heavily on share price in the interim, however, I believe there will be some attractive entry points to get into TRAK in the next 6 months. When / if the sales team investment starts to translate to increased sales (& profitability), this will be the next catalyst for share price improvement. dyor etc | twistednik | |
28/11/2016 10:24 | I have had this on my watchlist for a while Sept 7 "Trakm8 is pleased to report that trading in the first five months of the current financial year commencing 1 April 2016 has started satisfactorily and is consistent with its expectations for the year as a whole." Clearly the investment in Sales and Marketing has yet to pay off Health warning | phillis | |
28/11/2016 09:22 | You are funny Larva - you on the wrong board/left some digits off? I will support the price well above that level - so will many others | davr0s | |
28/11/2016 09:07 | They need to close some of the prospective contract sales in the near future to give confidence that they can meet decent year end figures, if that happens i can see the share price rising fairly well and on this basis I've kept the small small holding I have left. woody | woodcutter | |
28/11/2016 09:07 | Quite true. I think a case of gilding a lily. | vsp2 | |

28/11/2016 08:57 | lol GWR7, "With trakm8 adding bells and whistles to their device I remain highly sceptical about their ability to keep on top of the data generated.", you do realise the data processing is done by software running on a server and not by Watkins himself, emailing the results to each customer in a text summary? | sheep_herder | |
28/11/2016 08:48 | This is indeed the core of the issue, Woody, and TRAK's balance sheet has been sacrificed to promise. However, the field is intensively competitive and TRAK has fallen off the back of the wave. I don't think there is a way back. apad | apad | |
28/11/2016 08:31 | I sold most of my holding a while ago at a small loss but kept a rump holding just in case it took off.fwiw my view is the problems for TRAK emminate around Watkins, he's been too focused on the technology and not anything like focused enough on sales. He's now got that message and looks to have over reacted in increasing the overheads. The business model is primarily dependant up trying to save other businesses costs yet they seem to me to be over complicating the product and adding superflous cost in to it. It seems over engineered. The more you add the more it costs and the clients have to pay more thereby reducing their savings, there's a point where all the extras are no longer value for money. I think there's a sound business here with decent propects but i don't think Watkins is the man to lead it. woody | woodcutter | |
28/11/2016 08:18 | Well done Salpara. I had the same thought running up to results but gave the management the benefit of the doubt based on prior TR, so hung on in there .... Thankfully managed to exit one of my positions first thing at 155 with only a very small loss. The other account had a much higher buy-in price and now sits on a huge loss, but I couldn't exit as broker was quoting me 116p (for NMS) when the spread was 140-145!! wtf! Anyhow, I think you may be right about the prospects here, at least for the foreseeable future, and we may see further declines as iis look to exit positions over the coming days/weeks, but I feel that at 120ish it's more likely to recover (a little) ground short-term, than loose more. I'll be watching the price keenly over the coming days. Best luck to all holders / now non-holders alike | le4r | |
