They can't hold it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see Arcontech are finalists at the Inside Market Data Awards in New York on May 22nd. It looks like there are some pretty heavy hitters attending, so the coverage will do them no harm at all. If they win their category, it will undoubtedly increase the coverage and knowledge of the product.

It looks like the 2.8m sell yesterday was an inter-dealer trade!!!

[bill182] 09/5/2012 11:11

Now...where are the conspiracy theorist's. A trade goes through this morning for 10 shares...1.2p...is this a signal. This is now followed by 3 million buys!!!

Something is definitely going on here.

[bill182] 09/5/2012 08:24

It looks like more patience is required here. Buys are clearly outstripping sells, but the price seems to be being held down. I can only assume the MM's are awaiting confirmation of the positive cash flow and improving revenues before moving the price up.

Hopefully, the next contract win may allude to developments in this area, as we near the close to the full year in June.

[bill182] 08/5/2012 10:27

Still Waiting - I would agree. It also makes it more likely that as and when current contracts are due to expire, they will be renewed given the apparent industry leading position they are now in.

All in all, very good news. Now, let's have another contract win announcement this week, just for good measure.

would expect some decent upselling from this product roll-out..

[bill182] 08/5/2012 09:43

I can't see many people selling with all the recent positive news, and with the shares currently at historic lows, there is the potential for a decent increase in the share price!

love this part:-

CityVision has seen accelerating global interest since Arcontech unveiled its "CityVision Adaptor" strategy in October last year, with many evaluations completed and deployments under way with international financial institutions. Demand is being driven by the desire to reduce costs and streamline operations. Arcontech's vendor-independent solutions provide proven, highly reliable alternatives to decouple data transport and display from the traditional information terminal providers, facilitating downsizing of expensive terminal counts and displacement of infrastructure components.

[bill182] 08/5/2012 07:47

Whilst the company has not announced further contract wins with the launch of the new product, I would say that by the tone of the release, there will be further news in the not to distant future!!!

The future is now looking very promising for Arcontech, and in the current climate, the product should find very receptive ears.

Arcontech Responds to Industry Demand for

Independent Market Data Connectivity and Compliance

LONDON, May 8, 2012: Arcontech Group plc (AIM: ARC), a provider of real-time software solutions to the investment banking and broking industry, has announced "CityVision Cache" a major development of its market data publishing system, supporting internal publishing as well as normalisation and cross connectivity between a variety of the industry's major platforms and feed protocols.

The enhancement to its CityVision suite of market data components has been developed in response to repeated calls from the marketplace for technology to reduce dependence on systems from particular market data vendors, increase connectivity options and address concerns over regulatory compliance.

A "last-value cache" is a data store that supports real-time publishing of internally derived market data, for example, the bid and offer price of a bond derivative or a foreign exchange rate. Most market data platforms have this capability but it is generally limited to publishing within the specific platform. The CityVision Cache allows cross-connectivity between platforms, meaning that data it manages can be shared in real-time between the different platforms often present in investment banking firms, greatly reducing dependence on a particular platform, increasing choice and providing cost-saving opportunities.

The CityVision Cache also includes options for calculations, page shredding, derived instrument creation and outputs to multiple destinations, including vendor contributions, making it a highly flexible and connected component. Finally, where supported by the connected platform, audit trail capability means that inbound and outbound data can be logged and tracked to the individual user, giving user firms better visibility of data flows, allowing control and aiding compliance with regulations such as MiFID and Sarbanes Oxley, which require price audit trails.

"We've listened to demands from the market data industry for cross-connectivity and a vendor-neutral approach to price derivation and distribution technology," said Andrew Miller, CEO of Arcontech plc. "CityVision Cache provides a unique, cost-effective and scalable solution to this challenge, giving infrastructure teams choice and end-users flexibility, adding value to the systems currently deployed."

CityVision has seen accelerating global interest since Arcontech unveiled its "CityVision Adaptor" strategy in October last year, with many evaluations completed and deployments under way with international financial institutions. Demand is being driven by the desire to reduce costs and streamline operations. Arcontech's vendor-independent solutions provide proven, highly reliable alternatives to decouple data transport and display from the traditional information terminal providers, facilitating downsizing of expensive terminal counts and displacement of infrastructure components.

bil!!! its only 1,300£ worth id say not im watching this tho how many shares in issue???

[bill182] 04/5/2012 16:25

A further 2 * one million buys just gone through, one at the full ask. Has news leaked out I wonder!!

[bill182] 04/5/2012 15:54

A couple of buys going through this afternoon. I wonder if we could have another contract win announcement next week!!!

[bill182] 04/5/2012 15:42

With all the recent good news, I doubt that anyone would still be shorting this stock, so hopefully the next contract win will see a strong increase in the share price.

Having read through the past RNS's, any takeover would have to be at a substantial premium for the directors to recoup their investment.

[bill182] 02/5/2012 10:16

Very quiet this morning so far! Just waiting for the next bit of good news and we can then hopefully continue with the share price recovery.

[topinfo] 01/5/2012 15:24

Bill yep agree but I didnt want to over state the mkt cap but thats fair, so why we are at this level of 0.12p mkt cap of £1.75 million is anyones guess but of course the markets in general are the cause of alot of it. Many stocks out there are valued way below their true value. Still waiting, yep a takeover wouldnt be out of the question if mkt cap stays this low IMO.

Cheers Guys

[still waiting] 01/5/2012 15:07

just needs another major deal with an intn;l bank and I think we'll become a t/o target..

[bill182] 01/5/2012 15:04

With NA's of circa £1.9m and the expectation of being profitable moving forward, I think fair value has to be 3 to 4 times the assets, which would give a share price of 0.40 to 0.50p.

It is worth re-stating, the company has already signed contract for circa £1.85m already this year!!

[topinfo] 01/5/2012 14:45

I think looking at Rns 24th April it implies they are working on others and I think we will get more news short term on contracts/sales and this can only be good for the share price Fair Value on this stock should really be 0.3p-0.4p IMO.

Any other views on that?

[bill182] 01/5/2012 14:43

Well, they did say at the Interims that they were negotiating on several contracts which they hoped to sign before the end of June..so could be.

Either way, I make it that the company is now cash flow positive with the contracts already signed so far this year, and this in itself deserves a higher mkt cap than the present £1.76m.

[still waiting] 01/5/2012 14:33

due another contract?

[topinfo] 01/5/2012 14:20

Looking interesting again today, up on small volume. If any significant volume follows through then this could move quickly North,

No nasty fundings either at ARC

24/04/2012

A reminder of the cash position and outlook from the interim results:

As at 31 December 2011 the Group had net cash balances of £1,252,693 (31 December 2010: £972,455). The increase in cash and creditors is due to higher deferred revenue as customers have shown their faith in the business by paying annual fees in advance. Although we expect this cash balance to decrease by the year-end, the extent of which will depend upon the level and timing of new sales wins and consequently the date of deployment, we believe, based upon our present level of sales prospects and opportunities, that the Group has sufficient financial resources to see it through to profitability.

With the contract wins announced today, and the real prospect of more to come in the short term, we should be looking at positive cash flow in this trading year, and a profit next year. With the cash position and NA's of £1.89m versus a mkt cap of £1.91m, this share is very much undervalued. All IMHO of course.

[bill182] 01/5/2012 12:34

Well...that's better, the buys are going through as buys for a change. I have not seen any delayed trades from yesterday, so I can't work out why the MM's are holding the price down, given there have been more buys than sells for quite a few trading days!

[bill182] 30/4/2012 16:15

Interesting...no delayed trades have been put through - yet, the buys are now 3.76:1 v sells, yet the price is still being held down. Anyone have any thoughts?
