I'm not so sure it is a 'mild profit warning.'

Looks to me like they used much the same wording last year in their December statement last year (which was released at noon).

And their eventual results were well-received.

Does tend to make me skittish though when I see a trading update turn-up in the middle of the trading day...

RNS, put out mid afternoon. This is very poor practice - trading updates should be issued at 7am to allow thought before the market opens, not in the middle of trading!

SP dropped 5% on a "broadly in line" statement (in other words, a mild profit warning).

So trading on 19x with a weaker H2 to come. unsurprised it is selling off give the run it has had. Likely to slip back into the 50s IMHO. it was sub 40p 6 months back.

the relatively very low number of shares in issue can only work to our benefit whilst there is a bit of momentum. Have been holding these for many years and am encouraged by recent trend - may it continue.

[battlebus2] 05/8/2015 23:12

New highs today...looks to have further to run imv.

[hastings] 16/7/2015 08:45

No new news here as yet, but a little bit of early activity.Interim results should reveal more on full year outcome, which could well see a very good result.

[hastings] 03/6/2015 11:50

Hi Jolomo, no new figures from Cenkos but they have issued a positive brief comment which speaks of the recent "very positive Trading Update" and they will be upgrading accordingly at the Interim stage dictated by whether it is a short term exceptional improvement, or more of step change.Looking very good value imo and the dividend isn't bad either.

[jolomo] 23/5/2015 10:06

Has anyone seen any new estimates from Cenkos?

[hastings] 21/5/2015 10:12

Excellent news, decent well run operation.

[kingrolo] 21/5/2015 07:40

Amazing !! Super first half sales O/l and revenue.... SO CNC put in a disclaimer to reduce the positive message. FFS !!! Well done guys - NOT.

Trading ahead :))

Concurrent Technologies Plc ("the Company"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products for critical applications in the defence, aerospace, telecommunications, transportation, scientific and industrial markets, announces that the strong order book at the end of 2014 has continued into this year and the Board of Directors anticipates that revenues for the first half of 2015 will be ahead of their earlier expectations and significantly ahead of revenues for the first half of 2014. The Directors believe that this situation may well prove exceptional and may not be indicative of the sales growth that can be reasonably expected in future periods.

[battlebus2] 27/4/2015 09:36

Yes my faith in humanity is restored :)). Just couldn't reason why we went back below 40p.

[hastings] 27/4/2015 09:34

Nice to see this stirring back to life with some decent early volume.

[battlebus2] 09/4/2015 18:03

Glenn Fawcett CEO of CNC gets a mention in the Lord Lee column in the F.T.

[battlebus2] 31/3/2015 14:51

Looking pretty positive.
