Thank you, H, I'll have a look. My interest in VNET goes back to the old Brulines days as I was involved in a company which was among the earliest adopters of the beer-monitoring technology.

"Nice positive update, if still a little "jam tomorrow". I'll be pleased when they move from being "well-positioned to deliver growth" to delivering it!"


Jeffian,

You may be interested in a comparable share to VNET, which is Newmark Security NWT:-

"Newmark Security in 2023: A Transformed Tech & USA Success Story"


NWT has been one of the best-performing shares of 2023: its share price has more than doubled this year, on a return to profit (£353K. of earnings), and growing revenues (£20.31M.)

But at 75p NWT's market cap. is still just £7.03M., though its share price is on a roll at the moment, and should go a lot higher.

"the really good news is that this diversifies VNET away from pubs and shows that there is growth potential."

To be fair, they have been diversifying from pubs since about 2011! Even in a struggling and declining pub sector, the core 'Brulines' business will remain a significant and relatively stable revenue base because pubs will not disappear altogether and the monitoring equipment has proved to be such an important management tool that it will always be required. Hopefully, the vending businesses will provide the growth on top of this.

I think, despite various government (UK, US, Swiss etc) assurances, the fear of contagion is in the air. They said Lehman was a little local difficulty....until it wasn't. Frankly, I can't understand how the Italian banking system doesn't come crashing down but of course the ECB has to go on doing extraordinary things to prevent that because a major collapse would probably be the end of their beloved Euro.

The market is nervy and it is looking for any potential scare to dip further. There's nothing wrong with VNET but all ships go down on a falling tide so you might need to be brave for a while yet.

IMO, as they say.

Neutral

Bit aerly to invest for me - still loss making, no growth in pubs. In debt ATM.

I find these investor presentations very good.

I think this will bode well for the outlook this year and will be more important than the results next Tuesday

niggle,

'The last time I looked at Vianet was 9 years ago. That’s 9 years of it not going anywhere!'

Indeed. You are not the only one to note this.

Which makes me wonder why you chose to buy shares at recent lows?

Particularly given your questions over capitalised development and goodwill/intangibles?

What opportunity do you see that overcame these issues for you? Or is it time to take a quick profit?

I certainly hope you are right with regard to 2022, and I think there is good reason to think so. This morning's rns being a sign that the company is emerging from the pandemic more oompetitive, more efficient with better products and services than two years ago. Doesn't mean it will succeed, but I think the odds are in its favour now,

cheers

Illis

PS - checking my records I notice that I did indeed take a small position in VNET 9 years ago. It doesn't say but probably for the value and dividend at the time. It wasn't until last year when searching for cheap turnarounds, growth opportunities I was surprised to find one overlooked in my own portfolio. I've been buying on dips since then.

If they were thinking of raising more funds through equity I'd have expected them to do it whilst the share price was riding high earlier in the year.

Operating cashflow was positive at £1m in H1 and £1.4m after working capital movements despite much of their customer base being locked down for part of Q1 and restrictions being in place for all of Q1.

After investing 1.2m in R&D and equipment purchases - the net cash outflow was 0.46m - but thats after repaying 0.66m of debt.

Unless there is another mandatory lockdown affecting their customer base it looks to me as if they have turned the corner successfully. Cashflow is now rising through H2 as full price recurring revenue is received, new contracts signed and new connections made. They should be able to afford to invest in working capital, R&D, sales and marketing and pay down the debt.

As always with VNET the exciting growth opportunity is always a little bit slower to realise than I anticipate - but the jam tomorrow is looking even more delicious today - and certainly closer than it was.

I agree with you about the dividend. I'd much rather they pay down debt, fully invest in growth and build up a cash pile - but that will depend upon the largest shareholder, the chairman with 30%. I'd be happy with a token dividend.

cheers all

Whitbread's principal business is hotels. Their remaining interest in pubs/branded restaurants is minimal. I'm not sure they are of much use to VNET other than as the most general indicator that people are beginning to spend again post-Covid, but you can see that from many other areas of the economy anyway.
