last minute movement today, not too shabby overall...

[bigviv] 22/1/2009 15:11

true, should be a steady few months once news gets out...!

Plenty of investors are waking up to the fact that CCC is a well run, profitable company. It is expected to beat market consensus forecasts of 38.1 million pounds for full-year adjusted pretax profit, when when it reports result on 10/03/09.

not sure of the movement yesterday - i think it's coming onto the radar with the 200 day moving average getting closer (so i've heard - not sure exactly what's happening there)

things are looking up for ccc just wondering why it isn't a steady increase...

Anyone know why this is moving so quick today?

M&S extends outsourcing deal 15 Jan 2009

Marks & Spencer (M&S) has offloaded more of its IT services function to supplier Computacenter in a bid to improve performance in its technology division.

After devising a plan for its IT transformation, M&S awarded a £19m managed services deal to Computacenter in 2007. Under the deal, the retailer bundled up contractor services to generate savings and reduced its 400-strong supplier base to 40 companies.

The contract extension will see Computacenter taking over responsibility for areas including support of head office systems underpinning applications used in more than 600 M&S stores.

Test, development and production virtualised server environments, as well as implementation of head office IT infrastructure behind the company's new store point-of-sale systems, will also be part of the supplier's new set of duties.

M&S said that the outcome-based managed service model with the supplier will help in risk mitigation and improve the quality of IT service.

doing research on this - looks good from all angles

let's see what happens

[roks] 14/1/2009 14:21

wonder if this will hold the gains, pple might be selling "after the news".

[bigviv] 13/1/2009 12:53

whoops! meant £1.2

[bigviv] 13/1/2009 12:50

bought in a few days back at about 82, had a hunch this might go up...

i see it getting to £1 in the next week or so - hopefully on and on!

[littlemadam] 13/1/2009 11:27

just logged onto this one. As you say, surprised there is not much interest.
Results very impressive in this market and divi looks over 8%.
question to those who follow - any chance of a retrench to 80p so I can pick up a few?

[qalbabbass] 13/1/2009 11:13

me too!

Seem like a great set of results in this climate. The dividend will almost certainly be increased.

My other holding is Stobart (STOB)a good dividend payer and a low risk stock.

[bigviv] 13/1/2009 10:52

surprised there's no chatter about this one...!

[roks] 10/12/2008 11:47

thats a bounce.....shame took my eyes of this.

[roks] 17/11/2008 11:41

This company is wining contracts but they is no RNS? and share price is going down?

[martinbristow] 28/10/2008 15:57

Doesn't look good...

[autobhanned] 23/10/2008 18:55

In a normal world ccc (at 85p) looks incredibly cheap...But in today's world ccc could easily now drop to 50p-60p...And from there, even 30p is possible. unbelievable?

[like2share] 30/7/2008 12:01

rising slowly, awaiting volume increase

[like2share] 30/7/2008 09:47

offering a good entry point IMHO and the real rise will come when the interest in this share returns

[like2share] 29/7/2008 15:44

L2 perking up

[alfg] 25/7/2008 12:31

That`s right imastu

Don`t look a bargain in the face so yes i`ve started to accumulate from these levels .If they make it cheaper then i guess i`ll have to buy more

[imastu pidgitaswell] 25/7/2008 10:13

I'm following it - 120p, EPS 18p, little / no debt.

But I've seen cheaper, with profits still growing, better geographical and business diversity - RWA, on under 5 times earnings, under 4 times if the net cash is deducted from the market cap. Buy backs (at today's prices) of 17% of shares last year. Do the maths - in a few years there will only be me holding the shares - unless the price goes up...

But they're both examples of low single figure earnings multiples that have been crucified along with other 'economic' shares down to absurd levels. Both have little debt or (for RWA) plenty of cash, pay good dividends, steady income streams from strong client bases, and are easy business to understand.

Some real bargains out there.

[alfg] 25/7/2008 08:28

I like to call this the quiet share it`s ignored by most punters but it`s a reliable cash cow

[alfg] 25/7/2008 08:23

I used this pullback to get in i liked the last report and considerable upside to these add a possible MBO and well worth a buy

Computacenter revenue up 8% in first half

LONDON (SHARECAST) - A largely positive update on the first half attracted buyers to IT services provider Computacenter Thursday, with revenue for the period up around 8%.

[tole] 18/7/2008 16:07

Very quiet in here still?
Not sure what that spike up is about today - but used it to sell out for +30%.
