teddyboy. What is SCSW?

[teddy boy1] 12/3/2018 11:04

Today's share price increase due to the SCSW recommendation!

Might be worth another top-up (imho) if it gets down to ~40p again.
I think there is a reasonable chance that ECK will marginally beat the broker forecast of 1.6pps (adjusted basis?) for this year which, at 40p, would put it on a p/e in the mid 20's. It does depend somewhat on exchange rates and a weaker US$ doesn't help.

just a handful of tiny trades today

[azioni2] 28/2/2018 12:59

Agree, it all sounds very positive. Hopefully with more good news to follow soon...

I am aware that the Canaccord Technology expert did an assessment of IqE and Sweenoid/Dave Sweeney said it was an excellent summation. So if he has been involved in the decision to take this size of holding it augers well for the future-maybe! Add to that the recent CEO and Director buying

Followed for many years and bought for the first time yesterday (although did trade it during dotcom madness whilst 365 Corporation)at 39p.
I think market has misjudged the new recurring revenue model.

[nickelmer] 27/2/2018 09:57

Great to see the directors buying again, all we need is a dividend increase now!!!

[mazarin] 27/2/2018 09:08

Its always encouraging to see PDMR's committing their own cash to the company in which you too are invested, Chris Humphrey and Nik Philpott topped up their holding on 26/02/18 @ 39.4p. I see too that Kestrel Holdings had increased their slice to 15.10% on 19/01/18. Lets hope yesterday's news of the latest US Contract win has stemmed the recent series of declines. Another good start again today. More buys to follow, I think....!

US partnership

Eckoh also announces today a new US partnership with a global payments solutions company, who work with millions of individual merchants across the globe. This forms part of the Company's strategy to broaden its partner channels. The relationship will see the company introduce Eckoh to its US customers where they have a requirement to secure the card transactions taken in their contact centre environments. Eckoh expects this to significantly add to its pipeline of opportunities in the new financial year.

The new financial year starts 01/04/18

Re: High volume - A holdings RNS seems likely in the next day or two.

The buy/sell assignment on advfn Trades page (based only on mid-price comparison) is clearly vastly out. The big trades are likely at agreed prices both ways and possibly posted late under permissive rules. Best to assume that trades so far are well matched given the evidence of a stable share price after the initial modest rise. Hopefully a shortage of sellers will emerge over the coming week and force the share price to rise further.

Like Nickelmer, I view the new global payments partnership as the most promising item in the announcement as it opens up an entirely new source of potential growth.

[spookies] 26/2/2018 19:43

Thanks for the comments. Makes a change for me to time a share purchase right. Onward and upward.

[nickelmer] 26/2/2018 16:45

What a terrific announcement today, I had become increasingly frustrated with managements poor communication and the sheer lack of newsflow on how the company was progressing, seems like the wait was worth it after all, so hats off to management on a job well done, 3 things, in particular, I find especially positive.

1. A large contract with a very large US company, and finally West Co seem to be proving value from their partnership.

2. The news that Eckoh have formed a further partnership with a Global Payments provider, this is VERY important, there may well be a huge opportunity with Eckoh services but they really need to sign up the customers before more competitors enter the marketplace, so quality re-sellers/introducers are a huge help.

3. HUGE VOLUME TRADED today, there has clearly been an institutional seller dumping for several months now, the huge volumes seen traded today will hopefully signify the removel of that seller, who must presumably have been replaced by other long term insitutional holders which will hopefully put a solid floor under the price

Good luck all, and congratulations to the management

IC "Buy rating reaffirmed today:

Secure payments specialist Eckoh (ECK) has won a $1.9m four-year contract to provide its CallGuard product to a US Fortune 250 retail company, and has also signed a partnership with a global payments company in the US. The former deal was won through Eckoh’s partner, West Corporation. This is one of 11 US payments contracts won this financial year, against nine in the prior year. Meanwhile, the US partnership should “significantly add” to Eckoh’s opportunity pipeline. Shares were up 2.7 per cent in early trading. Buy.

[azioni2] 26/2/2018 13:34

If Kestrel have increased their holdings by the same amount.... they would now own about 20% of the company or possibly more!

[shoee62] 26/2/2018 11:50

A lot of volume through today, Standard Life selling more perhaps

[mazarin] 26/2/2018 08:40

Good timing spookies, its always good to buy ahead of positive news and it appears on this occasion you have just done it, after nearly 4 months of steady share price decline. It's something I rarely achieve. Eckoh has now won 11 US payment contracts in the current financial year and that represents two more than last year. However, the BoD are expecting even greater things to emerge from the US over time.

[septimus quaid] 26/2/2018 08:06

US news out this morning:

[septimus quaid] 23/2/2018 10:05

Spookies, because ECK is very much a “growth story”, I don’t think there is an “on target” in the conventional sense. Hopefully, we will soon have reports of more contracts being won.

[spookies] 23/2/2018 09:41

Despite my reservations about the shrinking share price I doubled my small holding yesterday. I am banking on results being on target.

[gerihatrick] 23/2/2018 08:16

she bought because she has only recently joined the company and felt she should buy some shares-simple really!
