Macquarie initiates with OUTPERFORM rating and 93p target

Big trades this am so I suspect that a large sell order has been filled and that we might now move north. Fingers crossed. GLA

I don't really get the business model. They circled the estate where my office is and offered us a connection at £200pm minimum. We waited for BT to enable our exchange and got a fibre connection for £25pm. I doubt if anyone on our estate had contracted with them.

Not sure a 0.5 mill contract is really worth an rns. However in the daily mail one broker has a sell rating on the stock to counteract the above two.

After today's results Finncap (130p) and Liberum Capital (138p) have kept their targets unchanged.

Nice set of results

My copy of MWeek suggests that Shares Magazine have suggested CITY as a Buy at 59.5p based upon having room to grow its fibre-optic network.

Can anyone verify?

Fully funded from Jan placing & debt facility in place so not quite sure why you think that Rubber. However, I guess nothing is a sure bet on AIM anymore.

NEEDS A PLACING SOON

[lanzarote666] 03/8/2016 07:48

'CityFibre (AIM: CITY), a leading designer, builder, owner, and operator of fibre optic infrastructure in UK towns and cities, is pleased to announce the signing of a launch partner agreement for its acquired networks in the Sheffield metro area.

The six-year, £3.3m deal commits CityFibre partner Exa Networks to delivering 250 school and business connections under an existing national framework agreement, focused on the Company's network in Sheffield, and also brings the benefits of gigabit connectivity to schools and businesses in Doncaster and Rotherham.

Today's agreement takes the number of connections sold by CityFibre on the networks acquired from KCOM in January to 1,450, and the value of contracts sold on the assets to £22.1m.

Capex coverage on the contract is in line with the Company's stated guidance.

Greg Mesch, Chief Executive of CityFibre, commented:

"We're delighted to extend our framework agreement with Exa into Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham. With this latest call-off, we demonstrate our ability to leverage our expanded footprint and drive commercialisation of the acquired assets at pace, bringing 10 cities into commercial production within seven months of acquisition close. It also brings us within striking distance of 4,000 connections sold year to date." '

BT Openreach statement seems to have given some impetus to the price today, up 9% on my screen.

[cocker] 25/7/2016 07:22

Fantastic TU from CITY today. Surely a re-rating of sorts is due as this company is likely to be a cash cow in the near future.

Not greatnews

WOW 2 more announcements. Not really sure why I am posting as its a bit like talking to one self.

[cocker] 30/6/2016 10:29

Can not belive what little interest this one gets from everyone. Dynamite company ready to explode at any time. Constant stream of good news seems to be going under most people's radar.

[cocker] 01/6/2016 08:54

Another nice contract win this morning which all points to a very good momentum going forward & certainly in line with managements expectations. I guess CITY not on to many peoples radar which at least means the thread remains sane.

Read Liberum's note on CITYFIBRE INFRASTRUCTURE, out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/companies/uk/telecomms_-_fixed_%26_cable/cityfibre_infrastructure_hol
"The transformational acquisition of the KCOM network assets supersedes the FY15 results; nonetheless the figures are broadly in line and our forecasts are unchanged. CityFibre is in an exciting growth phase and as recent contract wins demonstrate, the Company is successfully executing its strategy to accelerate the penetration and utilisation of its high speed fibre optic network…"

In for a small holding. It's a long-term play and all about getting to £100m of EBITDA by 2020 which will see the share price significantly higher (other sector multiples trading at 10-15x EV/EBITDA).

If all goes well we'll be left with a strong defensible infrastructure network generating annuity income for a long-time thereafter. Capex investment is clearly large to build out the network and the sooner the expensive debt (c.10% cost incl. LIBOR) can be taken out the better.

It's not without significant execution risks however lessons have been learned since the 90s cable boom and bust and Management appear to have a sensible approach to execution.

Less bothered with short-term profits / losses as the business model is about long-term growth and it's been indicated we should break even this year. If it's still loss making by FY18, that's when to start worrying ! One major selling point for me unlike a lot of 'jam tomorrow' companies is that they are investing in something tangible which has actual value as long as they can maintain their technological advantage (another business risk) and profits are on the horizon.

I'm sure there will be lots of movements up and down in the share price over the next couple of years before we start seeing real profit and decent pre-capex cash generation.

May look to top-up on the dips if the news flow keeps moving in the right direction. I think it's reasonable value in the 50s and just on the right side risk / reward wise.

dyor etc

· Net loss after tax of £6.4m, improving from £7.0m in 2014

Loss is worse than expected. £4.4m had been market expectation of loss. This is £2m more of losses. Ouch!

Last issue of Techinvest recommended CITY as "Continued strong buy"

[edwardt] 12/4/2016 10:58

agreed , it is good to have him on board - they have exposure elsewhere to the sector which is good. lastly they are not shy of going as high as 29.9% so they may not be done with their buying!
