Posted at 30/10/2008 14:15 by milacs When Northgate was taken over I bought Axon with the proceeds.I have sold Axon and am looking to replace with another share in the same market place. Any ideas? Incidentally Axon has helped keep me in the game for which I am truly thankful. |
Posted at 02/10/2008 08:55 by screamer So...Infy have been dropped in favour of a bid that hasn't actually been made yet. Does this worry any other holders? If for whatever reason HCL fail to get a bid together then where will we be? Remember it's not exactly the best time to be going to the bank to ask for vast wads of cash especially to buy a company whose share price had more than halved in the year up to the initial Infosys bid being made. Personally I think/hope at least one other counterbid will come as it's still a steal at £6.50. Whether Infy come back or another player enters the game remains to be seen. I'll feel a lot better when another bid is actually confirmed though and I wouldn't be surprised if the MMs took the opportunity to have some fun and games with the price in the meantime. Views anyone? Screamer |
Posted at 10/9/2008 12:41 by blockbuy afternoon all......top find wilmdev.......wow Fujitsu as well...........a potential 4 way bid war?????????things heating up and the markets defo seems to think there's a higher offer out there being prep'd being above Infosys's misley £6........... nice............... BANGALORE/MUMBAI: The market buzz on counter bid to Infosys Technologies' $753-million offer to buy UK-based Axon Group has a new twist. Banking sources now believe a counter offer could come from Japanese IT giants Fujitsu Software Corp or NTTSoft. ET could not independently verify the speculation, or the probability of a counter bid from any of these two. While the $18-billion Fujitsu was earlier in the fray to acquire Axon, NTT Soft was keen on SAP assets in Europe. Any counter bid to Infy's offer-announced on August 25-could come as early as next week. The latest speculation comes even as homegrown HCL Technologies is seen as another candidate to launch a rival offer. HCL has reportedly sought the advice of Merrill Lynch in pursuing Axon, and may take a final call early next week, after putting in place a bridge financing facility, sources added. The names of the two Japanese contenders are surfacing as some bankers believe the probability of a counter offer emerging from the Indian firms look rather remote. "Axon deal was peddled in the market for months, and most of them has had a look at it. But the surprise in the Infy deal must have been the price, which was certainly not out of whack," said another source. Fujitsu, it is believed, turned away from dealmaking after Axon management persisted with asking valuation of 700p, but later saw Infy striking a deal at 600p. However, some analysts argue that overseas players, especially Japanese software firms, may not be able to squeeze out anything significant from an expensive counter offer. Unlike Infosys, neither NTT nor Fujitsu will be able to drive up operating margins through offshoring given the expensive workforce back home. |
Posted at 29/8/2008 12:18 by blockbuy Joe...........your forgetting the interims beat last years interims and the share price last year was over that fiver in fact stayed well over £6 for most of the year until the subprime mess kicked in................notice the bid news came out on Sunday/Monday which grabbed all the headlines then the interims came in on Tuesday but everyone was talking about the buyout............. personally I think the bid price is holding the share price back................ ;-))))))))))))))))) |
Posted at 29/8/2008 11:42 by joestalin Yes, many of them mine, no doubt.If the TO does go through, as AXO mgmnt clearly want, I am getting the settlement early. If there is a counter bid, I lose maybe 10-15%. This I can live with as the money has gone into AEX, AST, NPE, MOG, DNX, HOIL and IPL all of which are at a ridiculous discount to NAV. If the bids come off the table and the share price descends back to say a fiver, I will be back in, at a much reduced level as there is value in the company. But otherwise, Thanks very much, AXO, you doubled my money. Good luck to all those who remain in. |
Posted at 26/8/2008 13:06 by joestalin The Axon Directors and certain key employees who are or, prior to the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, may be Axon Shareholders have irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of the Scheme and the resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the General Meeting in respect of their beneficial holdings. This beneficial holding is currently 147,420 Axon Shares representing approximately 0.2 per cent. of Axon's existing issued share capital. However, if existing awards over 3,425,000 Axon Shares vest under the Executive Reward Scheme in October 2008 as described in the preceding paragraph, the Axon Shares that are the subject of the irrevocable undertakings from the Axon Directors and certain of the key employees, will increase from 147,420 Axon Shares to 3,572,420 Axon Shares representing approximately 5.6 per cent. of Axon's existing issued share capital. The irrevocable undertakings given by the Axon Directors and certain of the key employees will continue to be binding even if a higher competing offer is made for Axon, unless the Acquisition does not become effective.Directors are determined to sell up. Move on. |
Posted at 25/8/2008 19:12 by steve prest Isnt it results day tomorrow tooRNS Number:0977T Axon Group PLC 25 April 2008 25 APRIL 2008 AXON GROUP PLC ("Axon" or "the Group") INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT AND AGM Axon Group plc, the SAP Business Transformation consultancy, holds its Annual General Meeting at 11:00am today. It is also publishing its interim management statement for the period from 1 January 2008 to date. Operational Highlights EMEA In EMEA, significant developments have included a 10 year transformation partnership contract with Wolverhampton City Council, announced on 20 March, which reinforces Axon's established position in the local government sector. This is the largest ever contract for which Axon has been appointed as prime contractor. In addition, Axon has recently won the SAP UK Partner Excellence Award for ESOA (Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture). Americas In the Americas, the Group's new client wins include Newell Rubbermaid, Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust. Axon was also very pleased to announce recently the recruitment of Steve Peck from SAP as President of Axon's American operations. Steve joins Axon from SAP Americas & Asia-Pacific Japan, where he was Senior Vice President and also served on the CEO council. Financial performance The year has started well, with chargeability remaining high and strong performance, particularly on EMEA fixed price contracts. Commenting on Axon's performance, Chief Executive Steve Cardell said: "Despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment, trading has been encouraging and we expect first half revenues and adjusted operating profits to be materially above those for the same period last year. Orderbook and pipeline continue to build in both the UK and Americas." Axon expects to publish its interim half year results on Tuesday 26th August 2008. |
Posted at 15/6/2008 12:02 by joestalin From K,S & F:-Axon (AXO.L) Initiating Coverage with a BUY Rating Over the last three years, Axon has posted one of the best organic sales and profit growth performances in the sector. However, it is a cyclical business and worries about its earnings momentum in a downturn are understandable. We believe the current share price already discounts considerable downside risk to its margin and its below sector rating presents a good opportunity to own a stock which continues to have strong growth prospects. BUY, TP 615p. An Enviable Record of Organic Sales and Profit Growth Axon has a tremendous track record of organic growth, posting double digit growth rates in the last four years of 20%, 38%, 41% and 29%. Consensus revenue estimates for 2008 currently assume 20% organic growth. Over this period, margins continuously improved and its 2007 EBIT margin of 16.2% (post SBP) is some way above its peers. Market share in the UK is now at 16% but there are significant growth opportunities in the US and other international markets where its share is less than 2%. However, it is a cyclical company, dependent on continuing investments by large enterprises in IT, specifically on the SAP platform. The recent positive Q1 update (shares rose 10% on the day) was reassuring, but residual concern on earnings momentum in the event of a downturn is understandable. ...Cyclical, but has Defensive Qualities In the last downturn, Axon saw revenues contract 2% in 2001 and 11% in 2002, with EBIT margins bottoming out at 8.3%. However, this was no ordinary cycle given the well documented over-investment in the tech sector in the years prior. Some types of projects that fell away at that time like pure Internet projects have not been seen for some time. By contrast, 80% of the group's current work is on transformation programmes, which should be more recession proof. We also believe that enterprise spending (as opposed to consumer) is more defensive in this cycle and that its vertical exposure (little financial services and retail in the mix) should see it weather the downturn better than investors fear. 13% Discount to Peers, DCF Points to Considerable Upside At 12.5x Cal'08 P/E, Axon trades on a 13% discount to its peers, despite its strong track record and growth prospects. Our adjusted EPS appear to be c10% below consensus but that is because we adjust for share based payments. A DCF using 9.5% discount rate, 3% terminal growth, 7.5% mid-term growth and LT margin of 12.1% (ten year average) yields our fair value of 615p. A bearish scenario (4% mid-term growth and LT margin of 8.3%, which was the trough in the last ten years) yields 378p, while a bullish scenario assuming 10% mid-term growth and LT margin of 15% yields an 848p fair value. We believe the risk to this stock is to the upside and initiate with a BUY rating and 615p target price. |
Posted at 15/4/2008 11:59 by fieldhouse Have been looking back at the historical news.In march 2005 the founding Axondirectors placed in an Executive reward scheme 4.9 million shares.Option to be exersised in three years time provided the share price had risen 150% ie £5 5th march 08,exersisable date, share price tanks QED |
Posted at 10/4/2008 17:10 by ringer12 Just a small gripe!.I,m sure it doesn,t help the share price to see ADVFN financials still showing the P/E ratio 19.23 based on 2006/7 results. On the 2007/8 results this should be now under 10 and all being well with the present years results it will hopefully be appreciably lower in the single figure range.Even small shreholders do sometimes look at P/E ratios before making decisions and looking at the daily trades it would appear that Axon's share price is somewhat influenced by an accumulation of small trades easily manipulatd by the MM,s.....but they wouldn't do that would they!!!? |
