The shareprice continues to rise on fairly small trading volumes and is now up by 29% since the markets reopened after the holidays this time last week !

A quick summary of the business for potential investors. The Beeks IPO was @50p on 13/11/17

Is the rise down to Boros or something else?

Thanks. Had read that but remained just as lost. So they appear to get paid per trade or a percentage of the trade value on Corporate? Retail traders pay, presumably a fixed annual fee.

Hopefully there will be clarity over the coming months with an occasional presentation along with their first financial reports. I see they are expected to make a small loss in the first year; perhaps associated with the cost of getting a listing and/or the costs of rolling out the platforms around the world.

I can't see what there competitive advantage is with cloud computing as there is seemingly little in the way of barriers to entry. There countenance appears to be that customers are just going to be too lazy to change the trading platform. So perhaps in a few years time this will remain a relatively small niche business or if growth was to continue then being bought out by someone else is a possibility; or someone sees this as a market in which they can price out BKS. Speculation on my part, obviously.

carcosa - a brief summary !

"The Beeks platform uses cloud computing, which enables clients to access and manage the trading services they need via the internet. Clients use an ‘‘on demand’’ or ‘‘pay for what you use’’ model which provides low latency trading capability on a large scale and is quicker and cheaper than building their own bespoke physical server platform and obtaining network connectivity themselves, which could take several weeks by which time the client’s trading advantage could be obsolete. Beeks has achieved strong revenue growth since 2014 and it has generated a profit in each financial year since trading commenced. Beeks has a highly scalable business model and a high level of recurring revenue. It has a very experienced Board of Directors, who believe that Beeks is positioned to benefit from the growth in the market for automated trading, the continued adoption of cloud computing and the opportunity for accelerated growth through corporate acquisitions in a fragmented market place.

Beeks’ clients are ‘‘buy side’’ and ‘‘sell side’’ financial institutions, and smaller scale traders. Corporate clients account for approximately 82%. of Beeks’ revenue, and private clients, all of whom are required to pay in advance for Beeks’ services, account for the remaining 18%......Once a Forex or Futures broker is providing trading services and generating revenue from its clients, it is unlikely to change the base provider of those services as any down time is likely to cost them both money and clients. As a result, Beeks enjoys a low client churn rate along with incremental growth in revenue.......Beeks is a profitable, growing business with high levels of recurring revenue and positive monthly cash generation. 95%. of clients pay monthly with the remaining 5%. paying annually in advance. Beeks has virtually no one-off revenue. Retail clients pay in advance for the service, whilst institutional clients are billed monthly on 14 day payment terms."

Can anyone let me know how the company makes money? I've had a look at the prospectus but failed to see what I thought could be appropriate KPI's. Is it the number of users, transactions or ???

TrackAs you say it is all quiet here. Partly I suspect because there is precious little information available regarding the company and no trading forecasts as far as I can ascertain.I bought in with a modest stake pre Xmas on the basis of the growth achieved to date, the v.strong investor base and the interesting space they are operating in.I am expecting some m & a activity to be announced before too long.Interestingly I note that Leon Boros, who is highly respected as a private investor/ has a great track record has included Beeks as one of his picks for 2018! I assume on this basis he is an investor. If he is is that also gives some confidence about the company's prospects.all very early stage but let's hope for some announcements about trading and potentially acquisitions in the near term.

Has anyone been looking at this one? I've been watching since it listed and noticed it started to tick up today. It floated at 50p so has come off from its float. Looking at Pelatro (a recent finnCap IPO - it is +21% today) it looked an interesting anomaly. Very different businesses but this one might start to get on more radars?
