AISHAH COULD you please post the Shares mag link or text.

Shares Mag reviews the acquisition of SystemsUp which plugs the hybrid cloud hole for IOM. Says that that several analysts think could send the shares towards the 300p mark. Hope long termers added around 200p on results day. dyor

Seems odd as share price not maintaining momentum

[paulturner006] 11/6/2015 16:24

Another contract? Think this will continue the rise or not? Is talk of take over realistic - views welcomed

Business as usual:



........Iomart has won a place on a new framework set up by the Scottish Government to procure hosting services

Buyer would need to pay around 3.50 a share i suspect

What a bizarre day - held all the way through as my holding was big enough to start with. That's left a lovely big price action spike on the chart.....

[robow] 09/6/2015 16:17

Full year results out today from hosting firm iomart show top line revenue growth of 18% to £65.8m. Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% to £29.1m. The company has two service lines: Hosting and the Easyspace brand (c16% of revenue). The latter typically produces very little or no growth but is an important cash generator for the company. iomart’s growth is driven by its Hosting business, which comprises a range of hosting and cloud services. The company has been building out capability here with the relatively recent acquisitions of Redstation, Backup Technology, ServerSpace and yesterday’s purchase of SystemsUp.

The Hosting segment grew 23% in the year and delivered a “satisfactory” organic growth rate of 9% (14% in FY13). We think there is headroom to push that growth rate up further. Indeed, we see both the managed hosting and the public cloud markets strengthening as enterprises transition more spend to external providers (to reduce costs, complexity and improve service levels) or move specific applications out of outsourcing agreements and into standalone cloud/hosting arrangements. In terms of taking advantage of the market, the SystemsUp acquisition was particularly canny as it gives iomart consulting capabilities that enable it sit more closely to customers from a strategic perspective. Most enterprises are targeting a hybrid cloud computing model but won’t be able to achieve this without external advice and guidance.

iomart’s growth profile and market position continue to make it a good target for Private Equity acquisition. Discussions regarding a possible offer from Cinven-backed Host Europe took place last year but did not progress. However, we suspect it is being very closely watched by a number of other possible suitors.

Also bought this am although at a slightly higher level (217.5p). My mobile needed charging so had to wait until I got to work to place my order. A bid at 300p soon will be welcome news.

[shakeypremis] 09/6/2015 10:16

That was very cheeky! A very nice price. I wasn't really paying attention today and was late into work because of trains, else I might have got in a little lower, can't complain too much however.

[wjccghcc] 09/6/2015 10:12

206p for me. Had a cheeky limit order filled on the opening dip :-)

[shakeypremis] 09/6/2015 10:01

I did, 214p for me :) :) :)

I'd been waiting for while hoping I could get back in and didn't fancy buying before results given what happenend last time. History repeating itself.

[gerri-c] 09/6/2015 08:19

Some will see the opportunity to buy.

[soundbuy] 09/6/2015 08:16

Liquidity here doesn't do any favours either...............
