Fd Technologies Public Share Discussion Threads

I wouldn't be surprised at all Moorsie. There seems to have been some positioning ahead of this update as were sold down in the last few trading days. Today's update shows the strategy was misplaced. In effect we should be trading in the £16.50 range today. I expect the MM's find these shares hard to come by and the official bid is now £15.32.. Any sustained buying should push us on to £17. It might be time for a share consolidation, perhaps a 10 for 1 as I believe if we had and share price of between 154p now we would quickly hit 170, 180p and onto 200p. This company have been very astute in their acquisitions and having personally bought at 1300p and 1160p I only wish I had poured into this niche company and less into some dogs. Very pleased.

Looking at the consensus numbers for the next 3 years it appears that the results for year ending Feb 16 will actually be more like the consensus for year ending Feb 17. This would be a huge acceleration of plans and would merit at least a 20% rerating hence bringing the share quickly to 1850.

Just my opinion of course..

Trading Update



FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I), a leading provider of software and consulting services, announces continued strong trading in the second half of its financial year to 29 February 2016. As a result the Board now expects the financial performance for the full year to be comfortably ahead of current consensus forecasts of £109.5m of revenue and £22.1m of EBITDA.



Consulting

Consulting revenue continued to grow strongly in the second half driven by the Group's high level of contracted revenue and a number of important new customer wins. This included a number of projects where FD is to act as a strategic partner to assist major investment banks with change programmes. This is in line with our business model under which we seek to grow these initial wins into multi-year assignments.



Software

We continue to see strong demand in our traditional financial services market across our range of software products, signing a record number of contracts in the second half of our financial year. Due to the annual recurring nature of our software license contracts the full impact of these wins will be reflected in the financial year ended February 2017. Outside financial services, the Group continues to make good progress with potential customers and partners for its Kx technology products especially for digital marketing and sensor analytics applications.





Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented: "We have made strong progress over the course of the past year and are well placed to continue to do so. In consulting our increasing scale and breadth of expertise is enabling us to get involved earlier in the change lifecycle within our clients, leading to deeper and more strategic relationships. In software, our market-leading capability in analysing large volumes of data in real time is increasingly understood and as a result we have experienced an acceleration of contract wins during the past year. We look forward to updating shareholders further when we announce our full year results."

Great Trading Update

This will jump now over the next few days and we should be trading at 20 soon

[stoxx67] 04/4/2016 07:17

well...certainly should be substantial upside today..

[moorsie2] 01/3/2016 12:56

Financial year end was yesterday - I wonder whether we will give a closing trading update? Definitely would help with visibility and the communication of the story

[moorsie2] 14/1/2016 08:29

Another great news release this morning - this is really building up to be the company with the right technology at the right time.

[flybyknight] 12/1/2016 13:37

Seems like a good purchase

The owner seems to be an ex employee

Less competition = higher consultancy rates = higher sp

[moorsie2] 12/1/2016 10:59

Great news that demand for Kx and its consultants is so high!!

[nw99] 07/12/2015 10:43

buy rating because the group recently formed FD Labs which looks to be another superb choice and company just gets better and better so Keep buying.

Took a position here recently.

Really like the look of the company.

Great record of revenue and profit growth and management have a lot of skin in the game.

I am surprised that volumes are so low in general though.

Good luck all.

[moorsie2] 02/12/2015 16:04

Huge volumes traded today - 450k of shares at 1540p - looks like an overhang with someone exiting their holding - possibly O'Neil the ex COO. Makes even more sense for it to be done after the shares have gone ex works

For holders this is a great sign of such volumes being offloaded at these price levels.

I expect a strong bounce once this is all finally cleared

[moorsie2] 25/11/2015 08:33

Taking a while to break through and hold above the alltime high

Just a matter of time though as it is fundamentally a different business now than ever 2 years ago in terms of scale and opportunities

[moorsie2] 16/11/2015 12:23

Big psychological price barrier here with an all time high

This will have buying support all the way through to 17

[ulinbac] 11/11/2015 15:21

Don't count on £15 set on as a floor. Owned mainly company members and extended family and friends. Doesn't give massive room to keep it pumping up.

Should have gone higher with those results.

When is the £20 reality?

Still a great company though in general.

[moorsie2] 11/11/2015 15:02

Strong set of results - showing that their huge year on year growth has no signs of slowing down.

That is £15 now set as a floor on this share. £20 per share is now a reality for this share

[blackbox1] 11/11/2015 10:15

Outstanding set of results. Hopefully a taste of things to come.

[swiss paul] 05/11/2015 19:48

Coiled spring? I am hoping it is going to be as it has been very frustrating. Any chartists who could throw some light on support and resistance levels?

[moorsie2] 05/11/2015 16:31

I expect us now to break out above 1600 for the first time over the coming few trading days - results on Wednesday that should be good reading of sales growth, market penetration in core business and opening new vertical markets

[swiss paul] 04/11/2015 20:18

Are these drops being brought in to try and get a sell, do we have a buyer in the background? Strange trading over the last couple of days, especially with the last RNS which in other organisations would have driven up the price.
Strange days indeed
