Since 2005 this has doubled upto May last year. Since then it has guadually fallen, but never a big jump like this.

[krutt] 28/3/2008 11:47

Up on basis of results = press plus buying. Same every year!

[robbo 44] 28/3/2008 11:34

Why is this up 20% today ? Anybody

[nprg] 26/3/2008 11:24

Good set of results. Share price up. Divi's up. Everyone's happy. (Just thought I'd state the bleedin' obvious to clear the tumbleweed briefly!)

Now 33-36p...


Concurrent Technologies, a specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, today announced the launch of its first XMC (Switched Mezzanine Card) module.
The XM 510/x24 is a 4 channel gigabit Ethernet module based on the open-standard XMC architecture.
The XMC (Switched Mezzanine Card) architecture
increases the performance of earlier generation mezzanine cards by supporting extremely fast serial interfaces.
This product has been designed for network applications which require high-speed data throughput and low-latency communications in the industrial control, telecommunications and defence markets.
It is available in both commercial and extended temperature versions.
Ruggedised, conduction-cooled and air-cooled versions are now in development.

feeling lonely tp

a few weeks from results, are we just re-tracing recent negative movement or is there something behind this other than the recent drip of moderate buying.

[tp100] 22/2/2008 11:12

Up she goes
Nobody knows
How she fares
Nobody cares

[tp100] 21/2/2008 10:29

32-34p...wake up people!

[tp100] 20/2/2008 17:11

Up 10% in a weak market and the BB is quiet. Classic buying opportunity. But no, the BB will be busy again at 50p....

[tp100] 24/1/2008 10:24

I bought another chunk at 27.75p. Won't be long before red hot penny shares is tipping this one again and you will be struggling to buy at 35p. Results in March - then the buy backs will start again.

GE bid at 75p? Thats my prediction. (have a look at what happened to Radstone)

[tp100] 23/1/2008 15:59

looks like someone else agrees with me. They have just gone 27.5p bid.

[tp100] 23/1/2008 14:53

a little purchase at 27.25p, thanks very much.

Prospective yield of over 4% and a P/E of 8 of expected 2008 earnings. Not only is this cheap for a growth company but also a classic bid target.

[neguss3] 23/1/2008 12:46

Think this is starting to look cheap wait and see just how far this falls but one to buy downturn will not cut into their profit IMO

[robbo 44] 05/11/2007 14:45

Has anybody had a phone call today saying there is immienent good news about to be released by concurrent.And a delay in figures. Didnt catch the name of the company????????????????

[tp100] 17/10/2007 11:17

looks like the bullish research note has been circulated. Up 11% at 38p-41p.

[diogenesj] 17/10/2007 10:00

Pug: they had a very prudent policy in the past and wrote off these expenses as incurred. I think they have now to capitalise them under IFRS. It is a significant point and means that the earnings as now reported justify a somewhat lower rating than before.

:> nickcduk - re your 19 Sep'07 - 08:20 - 134 of 140
Been doing a bit of digging on this one and you are so right. The real spoiler is hidden in the notes.

Had you spotted that "in the treatment of development costs some of which for the first time in many years have been capitalized and appear as intangibles in the balance sheet".

The development costs so capitalized amounted to £502,427. If these had been charged to P&L as the implication of the above statement, there would have been a very SIGNIFICANT reduction in profit.

What is the view of regular followers of this share think?

I do not hold but was attracted by, no gearing, regularly growing turnover and profit, and a significant directors holding.

[tp100] 05/10/2007 08:59

now back to 35-36p, good price action.

[tp100] 03/10/2007 17:09

Did you pick up some too? This is my best buy in the market, especially anywhere near 30p.

[jm barrie100] 03/10/2007 16:09

Very well done - many thanks for highlighting the dip in the CNC share price.

[tp100] 03/10/2007 15:58

and then the market agrees......

[tp100] 03/10/2007 15:31

and another 10k at 30.5p, cheap as chips!

[tp100] 03/10/2007 14:45

i think this is a buying opportunity. Picked up 10k at 31p.

Cash on deposit. No debt. Sales delayed so growth actually still on track. Bid target as only UK player left after takeover of Radstone - if not, it will be a bidder itself. Share buybacks...likely later today I suspect! M Cap now only £22m.

Interesting times.

I think your reading a different set of results to the rest of us. They are going to fall materially below forecasts for the current year. Broker downgrades likely for next year and they mention tough trading. Positives are few and far between. In current market conditions the shares are likely to fall. ITK is a better business and put out a bullish trading statement and yet trades on less than 10 times earnings.
