Thanks for clarifying.As things stand atm a share price of 550pshould be achieved fairly soon once other contracts are signed,together with the possibility of Nasdaq including the severalNordic Exchanges that it owns.

Beeks competitor Options was looked at by Canaccord in Oct. Their view was that Atlas was losing share to BKS with slower growth & lower margins, though Options is much larger. However Options has to service $263m debt which has to be refinanced in 2025. So I feel BKS has a big advantage in the ExchCloud space as first mover, with references from JSE, ICE/NYSE & now Nasdaq, as well as a lower risk financial status. I believe the high degree of automation which BKS has developed is key in enabling exchanges to resell the solution. Options appear to be relaunching Atlas but are not highlighting an Exchange version of the product.

Nasdaq said in SEC filings they would submit their POD/ExchCloud pricing (which is regulated) in parallel with implementation. They haven't done that yet, so it might be embarrassing for them (or an issue with the regulator) for BKS to be saying it's now live. They could argue that BKS were under pressure to issue an RNS because this is price sensitive info, especially since BKS will have to say in the trading update what they expect the impact on results to be. Or BKS agreement with Nasdaq was that it wouldn't be announced until implemented so BKS were within their rights to RNS but don't want to cause Nasdaq problems.

Last year the Trading Update was on 6th February so we are a couple of weeks away from CEO Gordon McCarther lighting another fire under the share price as he did last year! I am confident he will put “meat-on-the-bones” of the Nasdaq deal and I would not be surprised if he confirms other Contract Awards too as he stated pre Xmas that several Contracts were in late stages of being completed.

The price response to this news has been somewhat muted given it's implications, but I think that is because:- this was known to those who watch BKS - they haven't yet mentioned forecasts - BKS is not widely covered, so the news will take time to have full reach & impact. Logic would suggest that the price should break the 300p high reached recently, once this is fully digested by the market. Or following the early Feb trading update. It will be interesting to see their expectations for the long term value of the Nasdaq contract vs the £3-5m pa forecast for JSE, given that Nasdaq volumes are 40x JSE. They should have an early feel for the level of interest among Nasdaq members.

There is no doubt Nasdaq will prove a “Company Maker” for BKS. The scalability of such a Contract Agreement (as we have seen with Johannesburg Exchange) and the power of Nasdaq selecting BKS Exchange Cloud will make BKS the de-facto product and standard for all major stock exchanges going forward. We also know that there are several other Contracts at an advanced stage. We have seen these Contracts take a long time to conclude as they are critical to the customer but this will also act as a big defensive moat to any future competitor to challenge given it would take several years to compete against BKS.

Thanks, Felix. Always good to see a considered response-

My counter points or questions I'd dig into would be;

- true on those MAG7 names, but the discount rate you'd apply to BKS is clearly higher than most/all of the MAG7. BKS is not the most stratospheric valuation on the market. But if you put BKS against a peer like DigitalOcean or OVH or Iomart (bit less relevant) in the IaaS space then this actually looks quite expensive
- how much is PaaS of revenue? 5-10%?
- and against its peers, gross margins of 40% seem actually quite poor compared to peers more around 60%+. Suggests limited software revenue in the mix or actually rather more limited pricing power? Or are they loading cost lines differently?
- I would argue the share based compensation is not minor. Last year it was 60% of underlying PBT if you expense it out, so you end up more than doubling the headline valuation of the company. Share based compensation is a real expense, absolutely no reason to adjust it out. The Mag7 generally expense this so the valuation gap actually becomes quite extortionate versus them and even more material on a FCF - SBC metric

Cheers ianhamo.

Gerais Williams commented: "What’s interesting about Beeks Financial Cloud Group is it’s quite a small company, but it’s got a global market leadership, particularly in its exchange cloud offerings. Proximity cloud has also been big, private cloud too, but particularly exchange cloud and that’s been very much rolled out in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. What’s been interesting about that isn’t so much how successful it has been in terms of improving the efficiency of the market, but actually that they needed to roll out an additional contract extension very quickly afterwards. It led to extra volumes, it led to extra turnover, it led to better transaction prices, and that’s been a feature.

Of course, importantly, from our point of view, they’ve started winning out contracts, and they’ve announced a very large exchange contract. We don’t know quite which organisation it is, it’s going to be very big, it’s probably something like NASDAQ, we don’t know. Most particularly, this is a company where its service level offerings are going to be adopted, we think, considerably going forward. It has net cash, clearly the share price has come up with the contract announcements but it’s the nature of many of these small micro-cap companies. They start overlooked and then as they succeed, their share prices can appreciate quite significantly, and particularly because they’re in the UK, which is an area where a lot of share prices have been fairly depressed over recent years, we’re going to see, these kinds of companies if they succeed, hopefully generating not just attractive returns, but much better returns than you get in most other global markets."

The potential is huge, clients connect to exchanges for various reasons, short term to test models, longer term to implement those models and trading strategies. All this takes time (especially for a new client), hardware, connectivity, validation, DR etc, this is costly and time consuming. BKS offer a cloud option with easy access, scalability and now resilience (which means end clients are adopting the BKS solution into their core processes).

If you know the Kano Model, Delighters (such as BKS, offering a new, innovative and better service) over time become standard features.

Members (clients) of one exchange are more than likely members of multiple exchanges (paying multiple fees) if they have a better service from one they will request (demand) the same service level from the other exchanges. So the growth for BKS could be exponential.

If all goes well I believe the trade sale will be at Unicorn levels, £1bn+ share price 1650p within 5 years.

Above £150m will get institutional investors interested, I think we'll see a little more of that now

Took the opportunity to top-up this am. At 132p we're way below the 165p "significantly oversubscribed" fundraise and on the back of two significant product launches - Proximity Cloud (just after last Fin Year)and Exchange Cloud (13 June - so very recent). Both of these are described as 'transformative' and at too early a stage to have a visible impact on the reported results.

We're in a risk-off market and BKS share price has drifted in the absence of any supportive news. However, the obligation to report new business wins has now reduced due to their diminished significance - so this may explain the silence.

All will become clear in the next trading update that cannot be too far off. And we should at least learn, in the next few months, which Exchange is launching Exchange Cloud - albeit probably white labelled and under their own 'brand'. Let's keep our eyes open for that one.

Regards, Maddox
