I agree rimau, the chances are that this is a good entry point. However, quantifying the company's prospects is very difficult. I don't know if any of the three brokers have put out any research or what their guesses are for the future.

The company state the the acquisition will be at least double-digit accretive to June 2022 eps(before synergies). You'd certainly hope so given that they are buying a company with higher revenues than themselves and only funding half of it with equity! So this doesn't tell us much at all...did they really raise £140m without communicating a bit more than this to investors?

Again, I don't disagree with any of the positive points made but I do believe that it is not just the placing that private investors are being shut out of.

The good news for private investors is that you can now buy below the placing price. High quality company and i am happy to buy back having exited last year. £21.50 and i will add more if it falls further, acquisition looks compelling given that only 33% of Sentry customers are existing CRW clients. Given high barriers to entry this is a huge cross selling opportunity.

They have shown scant regard for the principles of pre-emption and yet they have the nerve to put out this statement:

"Craneware consulted with a number of its major shareholders prior to the Placing and has respected the principles of pre-emption through the allocation process. The Company is pleased by the support it has received from both existing and new shareholders."

Of course, all the major shareholders knew this was coming hence the drift down in the share price. But not to save even a small amount for private investors is very disappointing especially for a 23% dilution.

I might buy some more except I haven't seen or heard the presentation that the institutions have.

Last year Diploma, a FTSE 250 member and much bigger company than CRW, made a 10% equity raise for an acquisition and gave shareholders a chance to buy through PrimaryBid. Why can't these guys do this?

I agree it would be nice for all shareholders to be treated equally but shouldn't it be mandatory?

I would be interested to know if any holders here can explain to me why CRW is on a FWD P/E of circa 68. Recent results showed adjusted EPS up 17% on revenue up 16%, forward revenue visibility was reported up 20% compared to last year. CRW has excellent ROE and operating margin but I can't understand how the above growth can realistically support such a high P/E.

The only thing I can think of is an institution/large investor has misunderstood the total visible revenue figure reported for the next three years($193m)and has assumed it refers to revenue for the next year only which would give a huge boost to earnings.

You will be able to ask the key questions straight to the directors as Craneware will have a stand and be presenting at our huge Mello2018 event in Derby on 27th April and all shareholders and potential investors are welcome to attend

CRW have never attended or presented at a Mello event before and we are very pleased to welcome them so this is an ideal opportunity to meet the management and hear about their strategy.

Do come and join us at this quality two day event and there will be at least 45 other companies to meet each day plus some fabulous keynote speakers.
