Who would they be a good fit for? Would need 2 - 3 interested parties to push that price north of £6 in the short term. 10 tears from today, they will look very cheap

No TB walked away.l and their MC is down to $1b now so would say they are unlikely to be back unless their share price rises sharply

Agreed, it's only a matter of time, did they not reject a bid at almost double this price some time ago? Mabey not but the will get take out at some stage

AI will only exponentially create more security issues so there will only be more need for this type of service going forward. I would be amazed if there isn’t a suitor for DARK before the year is out.

If Dark trace revealed a hint of AI, can you imagine what would happen?

Watching Palo Alto's webcast the slowdown in revenue growth this year is due to its customers consolidating their cyber products to a single platform and not being charged until the renewal date occurs. They talked about customer fatigue..I am sure customers would prefer not to have to spend on cyber security.

QCM Darktrace Report RDTDownload
QCM follow up response to DTDownload
•We targeted Darktrace (“DT”) with a deep investigation into its business model, selling practices, international partnerships, and sales force

•We are skeptical about the validity of DT’s financial statements and fear that sales, margins, and growth rates may be overstated and close to a sharp correction.

•Detected numerous transactions in the period leading to DT’s IPO seemingly involving simulated or anticipated sales to phantom end-users through a network of resellers.

•DT seems to have repeatedly used marketing activities to channel funds back into its partners as payment for apparently fictitious purchases

•These alleged channel stuffing and round-tripping activities may have involved shell companies in offshore jurisdictions manned by individuals with ties to organized crime, money-laundering, and fraud

•We have detected a pattern of transactions suggesting that a portion of Darktrace’s past recurring software sales may instead be one-off sales of hardware appliances

•Accounting anomalies involving deferred revenue suggest possible problems with DT’s revenue recognition, providing a potentially misleading picture about the Company’s cash generation.

•Presence of serious accounting red flags consistent with reality detected in the field

•Multiple executives, board members, line managers not adequately disclosing their involvement with Autonomy and selling shares

•Increasing competition, questionable product value, “front loading” of existing contracts, high churn rates and lack of sustainable cash generation, point to a rapid, possibly sharp, deterioration financials

•Employment, website traffic and search volume metric suggest a sharp slowdown may be underway

We are of the opinion that Darktrace’s financial statements may not be relied upon as the company looks like a sophisticated replica of the Autonomy debacle

When people say that a lot of the human race is stupid, I tend to believe them having read ADVFN bulletin boards

DARKTRACE HIDING STUFF!!
Do You Feel Safe with Darktrace??

Too Risky at these levels.... just seen the article so many should know...!!

[halfpenny] 13/2/2024 09:21

See you at 175p as DARK did not provide report details.
No Smoke without Fire..Too Risky !!

[longtallsally] 13/2/2024 08:17

Indeed these shorters are dull, and it seems rather running out of ideas…

[dan_the_epic] 13/2/2024 07:17

Halfpenny unhinged?

Imagine copying out a very old city am article LOL

[halfpenny] 13/2/2024 04:54

DARKTRACE - STRONG STAY AWAY!!!
Show us the Details!!!

More from City A.M.....

When activist hedge fund Quintessential launched a short attack against London-listed tech darling DARKTRACE in January, the charge sheet was SERIOUS.
Among a lengthy list of MISDEMEANOURS, DARKTRACE, Quintessential said, had seemingly “SIMULATED or anticipated SALES to PHANTOM end users”, repeatedly used marketing activities to “channel funds back into its partners” and may have used “SHELL COMPANIES in offshore jurisdictions manned by individuals with ties to organised CRIME, MONEY-LAUNDERING and FRAUD”.

It should however be noted DARKTRACE has REFUSED to publish the report in full, and Quintessential has called on the firm to “fully unveil the details of the EY review” and facilitate an “open dialogue on its findings.
“Given the SEVERITY of our allegations, we believe this situation warrants a significantly higher level of transparency, which DARKTRACE has yet to provide.”

TOO RISKY..Smoke and Mirrors!!
NO TRANSPARENCY!!

DARK DAYS AHEAD...!! Now 150-175p Target!!

[dan_the_epic] 12/2/2024 20:31

All smoke and mirrors here, Darktrace's products are not cyber security. They are network monitoring tools. Windows defender does a better job.

Sell & avoid.
