Closed at a 13 year high tonight; it's been a good week for shareholders in more ways than one.

Eleco mentioned in today's Vox 'stock picking' videocast (33mins 0secs)

Re-read Tuesday's pleasing trading update last night and two comments of the company 'chair' must have given shareholders reassurance in this difficult economic climate.

Firstly, cash held at the year end had grown to £6.1m; there must be 100s of smallish companies in this country who would love to have just half of that sum in their bank account. Secondly, this sentence:

[We continue to provide support to our customers which will enable them to keep working through these challenging circumstances. I have been encouraged by both the number of new customers won as well as the increase in uptake among existing customers and thank the teams for their hard work and commitment.]

Roll on the March 'Final' announcement giving the full picture.

Indeed, a push through the 100p level would be hugely significant........

Breaking out of that 3 year trading range, looking good here

125p is not unreasonable.
Elco have proven their business nouce after going 100% SaaS.
The software is gaining traction left and right.
It's the sort of business that can double bottom line profit over two years.

[ansc] 21/1/2021 10:33

Further to my previous post, I hadn't taken into consideration the company broker's (finnCap) encouraging update (released after the trading update announcement) wherein they gave a near term target price of 125p.

Sp being raised but this morning on minuscule volume, has ELCO been tipped somewhere or is it a case of 'buyer beware'?

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 20/1/2021 13:24

ooo a pound doth beckon

[chrisdgb] 20/1/2021 13:23

Thanks for the Equity Development link, so looking at the peer group/takeover valuations, we could be at least double to triple this price.............?

[ansc] 20/1/2021 13:19

On the 20 July I posted that the company name had reverted back to Eleco so this thread (using the name of Elecosoft) was no longer appropriate; why are you persisting in using it?

[petewy] 20/1/2021 11:55

Still truckin' with it.

[ansc] 19/1/2021 13:19

In spite of the ravages wrought by Covid-19, an outstanding achievement produced by Team Eleco.

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 19/1/2021 09:21

Thanks for the youtube vid.
Get the sense prospects are a foot and profits are dropping consistently to the bottom line.
Very interesting to note the peer valuations.

[edmonda] 19/1/2021 08:02

Yes , looks a solid report and stronger H2 with turnover climbing +6% so adj PBT rose 10% (at least). Equity Development see more progress and value it at a conservative 115p/share.

Interview with CEO Jonathan Hunter on the update available here:

And new research note here:

Pleased with that trading statement. Clearly refining the business as time goes along.
They are the defacto build scheduling software provider.
I expect things to continue to improve from here esp as they have made more profit in a pandemic year.
Plenty of cash now too😎

Market Manipulators up to their normal tricks today, 4,160 shares sold and the share price is marked down 2p ... level playing field?

[ansc] 13/1/2021 17:19

25k trade (@ 85.5p) reported after the market closed. It'll be interesting to see what the price will be when the market opens tomorrow.

[brummy_git] 11/1/2021 11:35

Probably been tipped somewhere - Investors Chronicle?

[nigeldoug1] 11/1/2021 11:30

Price up ...volume up?

[chrisdgb] 11/1/2021 10:54

ha ha...........

[ansc] 11/1/2021 10:38

Why, when the rest of the market has been going down, Eleco has been going up?

(lol)

[chrisdgb] 08/1/2021 08:53

Agree, slightly frustrating at the moment...........as ever we need the catalyst..
