Mmm we don't know why he went, it may not have been possible to keep him. I presume they will put out an RNS when they find a replacement or announce it on their website. In the end no one indispensable.

I think letting Batty go will be a strategic mistake.

Started with mobile dev and I can see this developing into a worthy competitor with Batty doing research and with his background. Lets see what IQG can do in utilities, granted Europe is still behind the curve. Https://sspinnovations.com/events/ssp-mims-mobile-product-demonstration/

I wonder why IQG did not bring out an RNS concerning the leaving of their CTO. I mean that is expected for a Chairman, CEO, or CFO, but a CTO is equally (maybe more so) critical to a tech company.

[p1nkfish] 14/4/2021 10:50

It's disappointing and a good man is going to a group that could cause problems. Co-Founder and CTO leaving doesn't read well.

People of Peter Batty's experience in geospatial don't grow on trees. I wonder who they will replace him with ? Maybe an internal candidate who has worked closely with him. I guess SSP made him an offer he could not refuse.

Could be damaging, he knows his stuff and ESRI mentioned. Also knows where bodies are buried. Https://sspinnovations.com/blog/thought-leaders-align-welcoming-peter-batty-to-ssp/

Well Peter Batty probably won't present. He's gone. Shame, he was visionary and experienced. Https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210413006024/en/SSP-Innovations-Brings-on-Industry-Visionary-Peter-Batty-as-Chief-Research-Officer

Of course, never leave my ISA that late, but loads do.

[p1nkfish] 06/4/2021 14:35

old isa monery before end of tax year. a lot sloshing about.

[red ninja] 06/4/2021 13:53

Mmm it could be, but then again it was rising last week and that can't be new ISA money.

[p1nkfish] 06/4/2021 11:53

New ISA money perhaps?

I wonder if there is some stake building going on as the volume of sells appears to outnumber the buys. The share price has risen today and I have no problem getting a sales quote for a reasonable volume. Usually if I try and test sell a reasonable volume I get a no quote available. It is holiday time so the markets may not be truly representative and the US markets have been strong recently ... is the bull market coming towards the end.

Outside of potential growth one other thing helping the price is the illiquidity/tight holdings. If they issue more shares for any reason the liquidity will increase and the price could fall. Such events might be to fund an acquisition and the share price response could at least be muted or even fall if more stock hits the market. Same for the 15% or so of issued stock options when they become eligible for sale.

Let's hope Richard Weisz is on 5he ball as the opportunities are many. No time to waste.

Another one, time to get moving. No time to waste. "John Laing went on a spending spree in Germany, snapping up two regional telecommunications businesses, in order to create a single platform to invest in fibre-to-the-premises. The deal comprises the acquisition of 100% shareholdings in two regional and complementary telecommunications firms in southern and western Germany for a total investment up to EUR30 million. John Laing added: "These businesses are EFN eifel-net Internet-Provider GmbH and Jobst NET GmbH, and each is in the early stages of FTTP roll-out programmes, focusing on delivering connectivity to under-served suburban and rural communities in Germany." John Laing will fund the initial investment in fibre roll-out programmes over the next 12 months. "Given the potential growth of the roll-out strategy, this platform represents a material opportunity for further investment by John Laing over time, and which could represent a total equity investment in excess of EUR100 million over the next three years," the company added. It continued: "This investment fits with John Laing's strategy of investing in businesses and platforms with growth potential, and which are asset intensive and provide essential infrastructure.""

3i has bought DNS.NET. Iqgeo should talk to both SOON if not already. No time to waste. HTtps://m.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/3I-INFRASTRUCTURE-PLC-42378550/news/3i-Infrastructure-plc-agrees-to-acquire-DNS-NET-32858378/

Price breakout, MACD also moving back up and about to cross-over. This is a quality business with very useful potential in terms of return. May just be getting recognised, such companies are not cheap. Waiting until they become "cheap" in terms of revenue means you have missed the appreciation in share price - that has been my experience to date elsewhere.

My HL account is showing a move up in share price 99 (bid) - 101 (offer) so maybe the 2 trades of 635k volume were buys instead of cross trades. Then again after market prices are sometimes missleading. RP comes across very well in his presentations and seems pleased to answer investor questions. Hopefully it all bodes well for the future.

Now that they are well-established in telcos, definitely looks like the big push in 2021 is going to be in utilities. Interesting blog just posted by Richard Weiss on energy networks. Btw, anyone else really impressed by Richard Petti?

[p1nkfish] 29/3/2021 13:51

Transfer? A move up due?
