[rochdae] 01/7/2004 00:16

[mario winans] 01/7/2004 00:11

This share appears way overvalued IMO . dyor

All - Investec came out with a buy note on these this mornig.

Gist of note were as follows:-

Upgrading current forecasts to reflect strong trading in groups traditional market

Transaction volume remained very strong (est 18m transactions processed in H1)

PBT/EPS forecasts to Dec 04 from £1.4m/3.1p to £1.45m/3.2p and £2.2m/4.8p to 05. Figured exclude any estimate wins in the 'cardholder present' market via chip & pin (wins expected ro be announced in H2 in conjunction with IMB)

Stock valued at 35.8x Dec 04, falling to 24.4x in 2005 reflecting earnings growth of 94% in 04 and 47% in 05.

'These ratings are clearly high but with continuted strong growth in transaction volumes and the potential for forecasts to rise substantially with chip & win we believe the shares remain attractive.

Very much a share to top up on any weakness IMO.

[the knowing] 30/6/2004 10:54

Healthy retractment to reset the indicators.

[365] 30/6/2004 10:47

Knowall> Its on its way just have a pit stop!

[zapa] 30/6/2004 09:58

At least its in orbit.

[the knowing] 30/6/2004 09:48

365 you told me this was going to the moon ;-)

[365] 30/6/2004 09:45

chart pattern confirm strong upward trend with a few minor pull backs, not for shorting Mario LOL!

I'll add more on these pull backs.

[ze fuzzio] 30/6/2004 08:59

see the 5 year chart, this is recovering smoothly to its 2000 value, small guys dont give the MMs your stock so cheap

[britishbear] 30/6/2004 08:54

Pull back expected on profit taking. Look at the chart above - pull backs are always smaller and shorter than predicted by those trying to buy on dips. I do not expect this to be any different.

[igoe104] 30/6/2004 08:51

i don,t know why your lol for.
most us on this board have made huge profits, your the real fool not us.

[mario winans] 29/6/2004 22:55

Multicom Outsources e-payments to DataCash
29th June 2004

DataCash has been awarded a contract by Multicom Products Ltd to supply the company with a fully outsourced payments processing system which will sit at the heart of Multicom's Travel Market Connect - an eCommerce marketplace that enables computer systems to exchange information about travel services in real-time. Multicom's customers include Going Places, Thomas Cook, Travel Care and Virgin Travel Store.

Travel Market Connect enables travel providers, tour operators, and retailers to benefit from leading product sourcing and distribution technologies without the need for them to invest in technology themselves. Travel Market Connect connects 46 product suppliers with another 42 on the way. DataCash's service will replace Multicom's own bespoke payment gateway.

Utilising existing infrastructures, reservation systems and networks, Travel Market Connect brings together travel data such as charters, low-cost & scheduled flight, hotel and hire car availability into one simple marketplace that supports online booking. Supporting call centre, web and retail operations, the service reflects the sophisticated and dynamic needs of the travel industry where thousands of transactions are made at the touch of a button each minute.

"Multicom's own payment gateway served us well, but it made sense for several reasons to outsource this aspect of our solution to DataCash," explains Robert Howell, Managing Director of Multicom. "It was partly a financial decision, but as well as this we were particularly interested in the very high levels of resilience and reliability in their service which is of paramount importance to our customers."

"Increasingly, companies that have developed their own e-payments systems are now outsourcing to expert payment services providers," explains Gavin Breeze, DataCash's founder and business development director. "Payments is becoming an area of increasing complexity, requiring large investment to keep abreast of bank and card-scheme mandated changes. Companies like Multicom, for whom payments are a mission critical component of a larger solution, are recognising the benefits of working with partners who not only provide safe and highly resilient solutions, but also keep them in touch with latest technological developments and new applications."

Two years ago I asked Bailey where he felt the biggest competition came from and amongst others,was 'in-house systems'.

[msallen9] 29/6/2004 15:09

Great news...In fact super - as the majority of these payments will be large....

Holding a niche position = take over target as mentioned before ...

Zaks TA today says bulls could push this to 160 with 135 the next stop...

Hope so...

[britishbear] 29/6/2004 15:00

This is the crucial bit - means DATA will continue to be a "growth" stock and can thus justify its current PE.

Some big volumes again today - bit of profit taking expected but there is still a large background buying snapping these up.

Holding

[zapa] 29/6/2004 12:02

Multicom just signed up.

[365] 29/6/2004 09:10

still nibbling away, could see 130's over coming weeks if markets rally further after Fed news.

[goodsource] 28/6/2004 23:57

Have been following this for a while and can confirm that we have a chart breakout. Anticipate a little profit taking tomorrow whicj will reset the indicators and then further continued rises.,

[absolute returns] 28/6/2004 21:24

RSI over 90....very O/B in the short term....so just be careful that's all !

[365] 28/6/2004 21:23
