Kainos Share Discussion Threads

I always put any purchase idea through my thorough process before buying it.
I tend to use tip sheets a lot, although I reject the great majority of their tips. My portfolio significantly beats the benchmark that I have chosen.
My favourite tip sheet is Small Company Share Watch due to the quality of their in depth research which led me to Kainos at 190p in 2015. Still holding after five years. Picked up dividend too.Cant go too wrong buying their portfolio winners

Looking very good, said 4 years ago Micro Focus should have bought Kainos.

Found the answer. Above.

Question.... is the reported inability for folk to book tests easily the fault of kainos.

Anyone know if kainos is involved in track n trace?

[fuji99] 08/9/2020 08:52

The only problem is chartwise, it has no support until around £8'sh.
So if the share price does not recover it could easily go down to £7 - £8 area.

[jomool001] 08/9/2020 08:16

Expectations have been raised so saying "in line" may reflect the same performance but compared against the new expectations. First Derivatives is a quoted NI firm. There may be others.

[glenowen] 04/9/2020 17:24

Maybe the recent weakness has been caused by the company stating results "in line" with expectations, whereas earlier indications were that it would "exceed" expectations?BTW, apropos of absolutely nothing, is this the only Belfast/Norn Iron company quoted on the London market?

[actybod] 03/9/2020 16:08

It's been on a good run so needs a breather and consolidation!

[johnsoho] 03/9/2020 15:43

With the way the share price has behaved today one would have thought that this was an awful trading update......But it’s not !!!!

Trading Update

Kainos Group plc (KNOS), a leading IT provider, operating across two specialist business areas, Digital Services and its Workday Practice, today issues a trading update for the period from 1 April 2020 to date.

Further to the 27 July 2020 trading update, trading in the period continues to be resilient across both business areas, supported by long-term customer relationships and diversified revenues across customers, end markets and geographic regions. As such, the Company expect results for the full year ending 31 March 2021 to be in line with consensus forecasts.

Growth in Digital Services continues to be driven by demand within the NHS and Public Sector, where we continue to demonstrate our strength as a key supplier in the UK Government's digital transformation programme.

Within the Workday Practice, we continue to benefit from the geographic spread of the business, securing significant new consulting contracts nationally and internationally. Smart, our Workday automated testing platform, continues to win new clients and drive very strong growth.

Notwithstanding this strong performance, a robust pipeline and significant backlog, we remain mindful of the current economic disruption caused by Covid-19. We maintain a close dialogue with our customers and partners, and continue to pay careful attention to the impact that Covid-19 related disruption may have on them.

The announcement of our results for the six months ending 30 September 2020 will be made on Monday 16 November 2020.

he still has plenty- a 6.2% stake

[gaffer73] 06/8/2020 17:53

Director sales are never a good sign, especially 400k at a ATH

[rampmeister] 06/8/2020 10:59

Have to agree. Company has guided that forecasts will be substantially exceeded (I think that’s better than ‘materially217;)in latest update. Also rollout of workday across Europe is expected to contribute 40% of revenue within next few years.
