Probably unwise but bought some more anyway

[rob1ng] 10/1/2018 16:00

Just the way batman has performed over the last 17 years apart from when it shot upto 70 quidish

[volsung] 10/1/2018 15:14

Any reason for the sharp drop?

[james dean] 09/1/2018 18:43

Worth another listen to Zvi in December last.

In addition to the Govt defence cyber security interests........
I got the impression after looking at the youtube video RT posted the link to above that this latest association with Trend Micro is a potentially pretty big deal.
It appears this is going to give them a much wider target area
Anyone got any views on this ?

[volsung] 09/1/2018 14:12

Looks to be breaking out. Bought a few more

BATM bags $4M cyber security contract

Video..

Hard to read much into todays trades but it does appear that we are starting to see more smaller investors coming on board rather than the in outs of larger holders that have dominated the scene for a long time. There is a lot of potential now in clear view but will the markets buy potential ?
The cyber security element is a large "extra" to their plans and they just would not be winning this business if it was all smoke and mirrors.
Interesting year ahead.

There are several comments worth making on this latest cyber security win.

The contract is awarded following existing successful deployment with the same customer.
BATM anticipate building on this contract further.
There are other POC's in the pipeline that they hope to convert into contracts.

As mentioned above this is a multi $bn market and growing and from what we can tell BATM are in a good position to expand their share in this essential field.

Not sure they will really take off on this news alone but the case for investing is stronger all the time and the valuation of the company is looking rather attractive.
Its starting look like a situation now of "when" rather than "if" this all shows up in the bottom line.

BATM Awarded Follow-On Cyber Security Contract by a Government Defense Department

Latest award of $4m contract to provide hardware and software solution is the fourth from government agencies

BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, is pleased to announce that its Networking and Cyber division ("the Division") has been awarded a significant contract to supply a cyber communication technology solution to a Government defense department. This contract is the fourth such contract awarded to BATM by a national government and is worth approximately $4m over the next 12 months.

BATM was awarded the new contract following the successful deployment of the Division's solution previously and expects to commence delivery of the contract in Q2 2018 with completion by year-end 2018. The Group anticipates receiving follow-on orders after the completion of this contract.

Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said: "We are delighted to have been awarded a contract following the successful deployment of our solution by a national defense department. Interest in our cyber technologies' abilities to detect and investigate suspicious network activity and cyber threats continues to increase as governments and their defense agencies seek to prevent potential cyber attacks on their infrastructure and important institutions as well as to secure their communications. We look forward to reporting the successful completion of other ongoing proof-of-concept trials taking place currently."

Its highly unlikely that BATM will pay dividends again in the near term future. They have on the other hand developed and brought to market several solutions including cyber security without going to the markets to raise cash.
This is an element of investing with BATM that is really not being given the credit they deserve...... ie they have not diluted the share price and have paid for all of these developments in house......

There was a peak in the share price many years ago to 700P at the height of the Nokia business and the development of the photonic switch. The peek and crash you may see on old charts had to do with the fact that there was a stock split 10:1 at that time which is not accurately reflected in some charts. The stock did nevertheless hit 70p at that time. Since that time the share price has been in the 60p range with no where near the type of potential we are seeing today.

Thanks to Gerhatrick for the informative post.

The thought of dividends was not discussed at the AGM. The focus was on this concept, now formalised with Trend Micro and with the cyber element central to its appropriateness on both ARM and Intel hardware. In fact, the focus was on the SP, particularly in light of its peak in the past relationship with Nokia when the share price was ££ rather than in small pence. The sterilisation units were also discussed and the laboratory testing mechanism also. It was a positive all round presentation but clearly this software development could be mega as part of the international cyber risks. And remember -this is an Israeli company who are paranoid due to the risks of their existence-and understandably so-so to have an innovative cyber defence mechanism is going to be something special!

[latifs100] 21/12/2017 10:58

are they paying dividends. when is pay day? tia

[paulisi] 20/12/2017 21:39

Interesting video. Seems like the solution to use either intel or AMD could be a big money spinner.
Starting to get optimistic again. Seems all areas of the business growing now.

[fse] 13/12/2017 16:25

Another major product release and partnership. Interesting that it runs on both Arm and Intel platforms. share price in no way refelects the progress made. Markets are still IMO skittish about all this news followed by earnings disappointments. This provides an excellent buying opportunity for those who are prepared to get in before this all impacts the bottom line.

This always disappoints and it’s hard to work out why?
